Ok then, what happens if you make a tunnel through the earth, and you jump in it? (lets say you WONT be crushed by gravity/fear/speed)

This is what i think. First, you jump. Nothing strange happens (you feel like falling next to a 90 degree surface) until you are in the middle of the earth. there, as you fall, your internal ear will try to make some kind of equilibration between the gravity and your speed (starting with the earth's middle, the surface next to you that appeared next to you will become smoother continuous until it becomes a plane 0 degree surface. you lose a degree every 133,(3) kilometers(used dah computer)). The problem is that in the point where the surface is 0 degree you had just passed through 3/4 the earth, and you have like 12000 kilometers to pass by leg. But it is simply impossible to pass them, because the more walk, the surface becomes more abrupt, to the point it is too abrupt for a man to pass, making you fall.

So the answer to (Can a man go threw the Earth to reach its opposite side?) Is...no!, and he couldn't return either, being trapped in the earth

Yes it can! I read about it just forgot how it would become one :P


the only way a star can become a black hole is that its immense gravity would make it collapse in itself over and over again

but our sun is too small for that. scientists say the sun will become a White dwarf

why would we still orbit if there is gravity from the sun?


let me rephrase
*ahem*
we can't keep orbiting because thereis no gravity from the sun to pull the earth

thats actually true. the gravity of a black hole is infinite, but it has an only 80 kilometer radius

@miguelin11:
you said WONT but it IF

i know this has no sense, but it was funny

next question: what would happen if the earth would be hit by: a meteor, an asteroid or a comet?

well pretty obvious. it depends on it's mass
