What If You Dig A Hole Through The Earth?

[@CleoAbram]

We have our assumptions on screen: - No air friction - Earth is a constant density - You don't die from heat or pressure! If you want to know more about what happened in real life, we have another video "What If You Keep Digging" linked in the video too!

[@hshing]

Another required condition is that either the holes are between the poles or the earth does not spin.

[@JustXavier]

I have to disagree with the last assumption, the heat and friction would kill someone immediately. This would mean nature's Way of protecting the human gene pool from their stupidity. Because if you dig a hole through the center of the Earth and then jump into it, we do not need your genes.

[@vampfashions]

In real life they cannot drill the whole, you would die from the pressure, but before all of that you would be burned into vapour.

[@protoborg]

Air resistance is irrelevant to anything other than your terminal velocity. Even without air resistance, you would NOT bounce forever as passing through the core would immediately begin to slow you down. This would mean that you would never actually reach the surface ever again. Like a bouncing ball, each trip along the path would get shorter and shorter. You would eventually be stuck in the exactly center of mass of the Earth.

[@dethdaemon]

​​@@protoborg The idea is that the rate of deceleration is equivalent to the rate of acceleration. And because in their example their is no air resistance, terminal velocity doesn't apply as you said. Thus you would bounce forever as the speed you accumulated whilst accelerating would take the rest of the trip to decelerate leaving you in the opposite spot from where you started

[@vampfashions]

These numbers assume that you would be falling in a vacuum. Without a vacuum (which is more likely) you would continue falling at around 200 km/h (terminal velocity).

Dont forget the crushing air pressure.

[@SedoKai]

​@@ledoutofshadow8004 read the simplifying assumptions listed by the video creator: No heat/pressure No air resistance Constant density Without air resistance there's no terminal velocity, and there's no pressure so no crushing. Which just leaves us with an interesting and highly unstable 2 body system, where we can easily predict that your body will come into contact with a side wall before you even get a quarter of the way down, unless initial conditions are perfect and you keep perfectly still the entire fall.

[@SedoKai]

Also, in the instance where there is air resistance, the terminal velocity will be much lower in a hole because a much higher pressure wave builds up in front of you much faster than in an open environment. Combine this with the inherent instability of the system and instead of making it about a quarter of the way down before contacting a side wall, it'll probably happen within seconds. From there, how far you tumble until you stop is a question of CoF of the walls and how wide the hole actually is, but you'll again almost certainly stop moving well before you reach the center.

Factor in air resistance and you go back up, but not as high and you keep going lower until you’re stuck

[@Singularity.82]

Exactly. The air would slow you down to terminal velocity coming to 120 mph or less, especially with the increasing air density due to gravity closer to the core. It would probably slow you down so much and suffocate you before you even got to the core, and then you would stop in the center.

[@gws1980]

Even without air resistance as you fall through the earth the gravity pulling you in other directions besides straight down would slow your fall before you even reach the center, and as you pass the center you'd be pulled back towards it. I don't think you'd make it out the other side.

[@joshuavalenti6271]

I think It's fine to ignore air resistance and temperature etc. for the purposes this thought experiment. But you can't ignore the change in acceleration as you fall. You conclusion assumes constant acceleration until you reach the center at which point it instantly flips. This cannot be the case as it contradicts the stated assumption of uniform density. Acceleration due to gravity would decrease as you get closer to the center and as the mass above you increases. If mass is pulling you in all directions evenly at the center then it would also pull you in all directions but with various magnitudes at various depth. To get to a velocity of roughly 25,000 mph at the center would require constant acceleration equal to the acceleration at the surface. This would require a non uniform density that increases as you go to the center.

​@carstekoch you might be right? I would have to do math to figure that out, I was thinking conceptually. Im not sure you or I am correct, thinking of it now. Assuming you begin at rest, it will take awhile to fall to the core, accelerating you over time, assuming no terminal velocity due to no resistance. But since you are going fast as hell when you reach the core and the direction reverses, would you not have much less time to experience the decelerating force, so you wouldnt decelerate fully, and then actually catapult out the other side?
