I can't believe there have been a couple of people in here thinking that gravity becomes stronger as you reach the center. Common sense FTW?

No gravity at the center of the earth. Equal from both sides.
But it would only take you 47 minutes if you jumped into your freshly drilled hole to go from one side of the earth to the other!
How would that work? Let's assume you've drilled a perfect hole and removed the core. You jump in the hole from one side, what will happen when you fall out?
You won't fall out, you'd have to climb.
So factoring in the climbing up from the center of the earth.... 48 minutes?

There's no gravity at the center of the earth.

Well, you're being pulled toward the center of the earth, and gravity gets stronger as you get closer to something. It's not entirely non sequiter to make that assumption.

the air won't just go in, it will come out the other end too. So it should be possible to float through, carried by the wind.

Wrong. Learn some basic physics.

You all don't know what you're talking about. If you drill a hole through the earth then all of the gravity would escape into space and the earth would start to deflate like a balloon.

omg you're so right! omg what can we do? does anyone know where i can get gravity insurance?
