Ok so... if you drill a hole through the core if the earth maybe 10 feet wide (ignoring magma and everything else that would make it impossible) and someone jumped in.. what would happen? Would they just keep falling both directions until they stop... or would they be going so fast that they leave our atmosphere... or something else? Explain if possible.
