  • Yes, in the center of Earth gravity cancels itself out. Even if there’s a huge hole making it asymmetric.

    With the parachute open, you’ll fall slower and slower until you barely go past the center and then continue to slow down while you oscillate around it. At 32 km/h, you would need about 3 months to get there, but with all the slowing down you’ll probably stay on the path for a few years.






  • The other thing those people fail to mention is that loud noises are disorienting, and the one thing you want when you sandwich yourself between a couple of 2 tons pieces of metal moving at 110 km/h is to disorient everybody and make them unable to move in straight lines.

    The same applies to very bright lights.
