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

Is it possible to reach the center of the earth?
No, you would die before you reached the uh........Inner mantle? I don't remember but no, you would burn.
Why value of 'g' decreases when you go inside the earth?
Because the value of "g" varies directly with the sum of the masses of the two bodies acted upon by the force of gravity. If you go inside the earth, only part of the mass of the earth will be attracting you toward its center; the mass of the part of the earth that is farther from the center than you are will be attracting you away from the center. If it were possible to reach the center of the earth, the value of "g" would reach zero because the mass of the earth would be acting upon equally you in all directions.
Why can't scientists travel to the centre of the earth?
Heat and pressure would most likely kill a human being before they could reach the center of the earth.
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
How long to walk to the center of the earth?
You would have to walk about 3,963 miles in order to reach the center of the Earth. If you were to walk nonstop at 3 mph, it would take 1321 hours, or about 55 days. this is without sleep ing or stopping at all but hey as you're already doing the impossible why not be SUPER HUMAN and not sleep for 55 days :) hope that helped
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.
Would you join me on a adventure with my magical unicorn that uses its penis to drill into the ground to the center of the earth?
Yea , sounds fun
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
How long would a sudden light burst from the galaxy center take to reach earth?
25,000 years.
Is it possible for humans to reach the core of the earth?
It is impossible because any drill built cannot withstand the heat of the core and a human would vaporise before he could reach the core due to the heat.

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.
Why can't scientists travel to the centre of the earth?
Heat and pressure would most likely kill a human being before they could reach the center of the earth.
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.
What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?
In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.
How fast does it take to get to the center of the earth?
It would take one hour to get to the center of the earth
