Even if you were to have something dig a hole to the other side of the earth, and the heat wasn't an issue, you would be falling so damn long you would probably just die from that.

lol I laughed at this you'd die just from falling for a long time?

The faster you fall the more kinetic energy/air friction forms around the shape that is falling(In this case a human) You would also be fighting Drag(Also known as Air Friction), drag can actually heat stuff up when whatever object passes through it. Air is dense enough to apply force to an object and push it back when it's going at a fast speed, so the drag would make your body begin to heat up where you will more and likely die from overheating. Another possibility is lack of oxygen, your falling so fast I don't know how you would be able to breathe with all that air pushing back at you. One thing though is you would create a Sonic-Boom falling that fast(If you're not already dead) just like Felix Baumgartner he created a Sonic-Boom from his free fall but it would be nowhere as close if your were to create while falling through the whole earth.

That's the video where Felix creates the Sonic-Boom( I had to put it in a link because embedding isn't allowed for that video)

EDIT: Thank you to Euler for telling me I used "Air Friction" a lot in my post so I changed it to drag, I knew it was called drag but I thought air friction would be better.

This isn't true! Scientists created a model for this exact situation. So, assuming you had the hole, amd would not die from the heat, it would actually take exactly 37 minutes (i'm not sure if that os right, but it's somewhere in that area, definitely less than an hour) to stop perfectly on the other side!

I can't be bothered to explain why, maybe tomorrow if someone's interested

Please stop calling it air friction, that's horrible terminology, it's more suitably called air resistance, or drag

But you are right about heating up a body due to drag, as this is what happens on re-entry from space!

Pretty sure you would die after a couple hundred feet.

what if the earth is hollow?

theoretically speaking, if you could be able to dig a strait hole from the crust down to the core and continue until you get past the crust the second time. What would happen is,
(if you had a heat insulated tunnel that would keep you from dying from pressure as well as heat) you would jump down and around the middle you would feel like you were standing up no matter which way you are, you wouldn't feel being pushed any which way. Then because of your downward momentum you would continue to shoot through there and end up popping out of the other hole upside down because of the shape of the earth. Then you would (if you had awesome balancing skillz) land on your feet without a spec of dmg on your body.

If you dug from one side to another, what would you land perfectly on, and since when can you fall from that length without every bone in your body breaking or even turning into dust just from impact.

This just confused me lol but idk you would get stuck

You would be falling approximately for 36 minutes lol but I belching you would die from pressure and speed causing you to heat up

What about pipes and electrics under the ground also, therefore this would be impossible.
