what would happen if you dug a hole straight through the Earth and then jumped in? would you get stuck in the middle? would you bounce back and forth forever?
would you go accelerating out the other side? so what happens is you jump in and you start accelerating down toward the center due to the force of gravity from all of the earth beneath you you're falling faster and faster and faster but as you get toward the center there's less mass pulling you down so when you reach the center after about 21 minutes the Earth is going to be pulling you equally in all directions. now if you teleported in there you'd be stuck forever but lucky for you in this scenario you're traveling over 11 km/ second now or 25,000 mph so you're just going straight on through and you'd slow down as you reach the other side finally coming to a stop.
unless someone catches you there you're going right on back so you're bouncing back and forth basically forever. in real life the deepest anyone has ever dug is a third of the way through the crest in the 1970s and we're making a longer video all about it so subscribe. .
