What Happens If You Fall Through The Center Of The Earth

The video explores the hypothetical scenario of falling through a tunnel that passes through the center of the Earth. It discusses the challenges such as extreme heat, pressure, and the Coriolis effect, which make such a journey impossible with current technology. The video also explains the physics of falling in a vacuum tunnel, including the concept of simple harmonic motion, and concludes with the idea of oscillating indefinitely between the tunnel's ends.

What is the deepest hole ever drilled by humans, and how far did it reach towards the Earth's core?

• The Mariana Trench, reaching 10% of the way

• The Kola Super Deep Borehole, reaching 0.3% of the way

• The Great Blue Hole, reaching 5% of the way

• The Kimberley Diamond Mine, reaching 2% of the way

What temperature was encountered at the Kola Super Deep Borehole, causing the project to stop?

• 200°C or 392°F

• 180°C or 356°F

What is the primary effect of Earth's rotation on a vertical descent through the planet?

• It has no effect on the descent
