By god... My friends and I literally had this conversation about a week ago.

You would go fall then on the other side you would fall again, and continually do that until you slow down and can't move.

In reality, of course you would just burn.

but the gravitational pull all around you would cause apparent weightlessness

what about the other side of the earth's gravity?

If you mean the Earth was a ring, then it wouldn't matter, if you mean you could circle around and through the hole, then it wouldn't make a difference.. In fact, the gravitational pull may be less cos the mass of the Earth would be lesser, thus you would have less gravity.

would the momentum of the first part of the gravity be enough to push you to the other side?

There would be no momentum from jumping because there's no gravity. If you were to push off of something you would because there would be nothing from stopping you (Besides objects) because there's no gravity

The momentum from jumping into the hole. Would that provide enough momentum to push you out the other side.

i say it would pull you down

you would be crushed from the pressure!

If you were to disregard pressure...

To find your velocity at the center...

Initial velocity = 0
Final velocity = ?
Acceleration = 9.8
Distance = 6356800

Then you could put it in the formula Vf2 = Vi2 + 2AD

Vf2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(6356800)
Vf2 = 124593280
Square that and...
11162.135996304649933773624863917

So half way you'd be moveing at about 11162m/s

To find out if you'd make it? I don't know.

Really though, you wouldn't come out the other side. As you come back, gravity would slow you to the point that you stop before the hole on the other side and you would continually go back and forth never stopping.

So you wouldn't come out, you'd be stuck in an oscillating pattern forever.

Good work im going to check it in a little, Great effort heres 30 rep

Nice tunnel we have going :trollin:

Impossible you would get pulled through and eventaully die in space.
