the crust is lighter and less dense than the mantle...thus it floats on top.

What would happen if you go near to the inner core of the earth?

Well If You Had Managed To Find A Shaft Which Is Probably Possible, Then You Would Burn Up Instantly. See If You Managed To Find A Shaft, Two Things Would Happen... 1. You Would Probably Fall Into A Shaft That Leads You To A Magma Chamber That Was Once An Opening But Closed Up And You Would Be Trapped. 2. You Would Burn Your Butt Of Not Even Making It To At Least The Center. Proof For #2: After You Fall Through The Crust (Which Would Probably Take 30 Minutes Given That The Crust Is 70 Miles Thick Which Is The Distance From Socorro To Albuquerque Which Takes About An Hour But I'm Just Thinking At The Speed Of Someone Falling) You Would Meet Something Called The Mantle. You Would Have Roasted By The Time You Touched The Upper Mantle Because Its A Scorching 932 Degrees Fahrenheit. That's About 6x Hotter Than The Hottest Place On Planet Earth, Which Recorded In 2005, Was Lut Desert in Iran Breaking Record Of 159 Degrees Fahrenheit.
