No. But it is a popular theme in Science Fiction.

What would happen if you drilled a hole through the earth?
If you were to drill a hole through the Earth, you would create a tunnel that goes from one side of the planet to the other. Gravity would pull you towards the center of the Earth, and you would experience weightlessness at the midpoint. The journey would be extremely hot and the pressure would increase as you got closer to the center. It is not physically possible to drill a hole through the Earth due to the extreme conditions and technological limitations.
Are geologists able to drill to the center of earth?
No, geologists cannot drill to the center of the Earth. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, reached a depth of about 7.5 miles, which is only about 0.2% of the Earth's radius. The extreme heat and pressure closer to the Earth's center make drilling to the core impossible with current technology.
Can geologists drill to the center of the earth?
No, geologists cannot drill to the center of the Earth. The Earth's core is over 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) below the surface, and the deepest hole ever drilled by humans, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) deep. The extreme heat and pressure at the Earth's core make it impossible for current drilling technology to reach that depth.
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
The distance from side to side through the center of the earth?
diameter
How do you know what you know about the center of the earth?
we drill very deep in the earth .

How Deep Would You HAve To Drill To Reach The Center Of Earth?
You would have to drill about 5,100 kilometers below the surface.
How long will it take to drill through the crust?
Currently we cannot drill to the center of the Earth because no drill could withstand the temperatures in Earth's interior. The deepest hole ever drilled reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) or about 7.6 miles before it stopped working properly due to the heat. Earth has a radius of nearly 4,000 miles. Even if we had a drill that could withstand the temperatures of Earth's core, the outer core is liquid and features active convection currents.
Why do geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into earth's crust?
the diamonds are the strongest natural material on earth. these drills can drill through anything
If you drill a hole through the earth from Buenos Aires in what country would you come out?
no place but death because you would die before you get to the other side because the hot rock in the center of the earth
Where would it be easiest to drill though Earth?
Through the center? Impossible anywhere, since the core of the Earth is molten iron. The shortest PATH would be from pole to pole, but you still have the problem of the molten iron flowing through the core.

Did scientis get to drill through earths mantle?
There have been several attempts to drill all the way through the Earth's crust and into the mantle, but these have not yet succeeded.
Is it possible to drill a hole from North Pole to South Pole through the earth 7900miles?
Physically, this may be an impossibility, given the material you'd be required to drill through, including the Earth's molten core.
How do you drill through a toonie?
first you grab the toonie then take the drill and put it in the center and hold down the trigger (if it doesn't work who cares any way because who would want to drill a whole through a toonie anyway?)
Earth's circumference that goes through the center of the earth?
The circumference is the distance around the Earth at it's widest point. The diameter goes through the center of the Earth from one side to the other.
