Is it possible to dig through earth's center to the other side?

No


How deep would you drill to reach the center of the earth?

If you to dig one foot per minute, then it would take six years to get the center of the earth. INCORRECT. The Earth's diameter is approx 8,000 miles, making the radius (distance to the center of the sphere) approx 4000 miles. A mile is 5,280 ft, and 4,000 of those = 21,120,000 ft. If you could dig one foot per minute, as stated by the previous answer above, then there are 525,600 minutes in a year. Now, divide the amount of total feet (21,120,000) by the number of feet per year (525,600) to get how long it would take to dig to the center of the earth, which is a little over 40 years. that's how long it would take. 40 YEARS. If someone fell into a hole and was in a free fall all the way down, it would take over 30 hours to free fall to the center of the earth. "If someone fell into a hole and was in a free fall all the way down, it would take over 30 hours to free fall to the center of the earth." INCORRECT. I'm pretty sure you forgot to calculate the increase in gravity as you travel closer to the core
