    (please take the name of Gods if you happen to read this or better ignore it)


    If you happen to dig the earth in Kerala and insert a broad tube, it should come out in Medellin, Columbia, South America. I read this in Google.


    I also read that Stephen Hawking, British physicist saying “God is not needed”. "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing," Modern physics "leaves no place for God in the creation of the universe,"


    Now, I am not a scientist. I dreaded the study of physics as if it was created by devils. I can neither write books on God like many Babas nor can I write books on Science like Stephen Hawking as no one is going to publish them or read them.


    No one can stop me from publishing a blog on my theory of physics and the Bottomless Pit.


    The mythical Bottomless Pit will go deep down Kerala and come out in South America. I use the word mythical because no scientist will ever dare to think of such a pit in reality.


    The question, I want to ask Stephen Hawking is
    “Whether digging of such pit is possible?”
    “What will happen if I fall into that pit. Will I come out in Columbia?”


    I challenge that Stephen Hawking will start praying God but will not answer my question.


    Coming to speak of gravity, whatever bookish knowledge I have gathered, my understanding goes that the centre of earth is a big magnet which pulls and acts as a gravitational force.


    In case, I drop a pebble inside the mythical pit, the pebble will suspend in mid-air at the centre of the earth, if my guess is right. It cannot fall and come out in Columbia.


    Suppose, I jump inside the pit, I will go deep down within seconds and will be suspended in mid-air as the gravitational forces at the center of the earth will keep me suspended in the middle of the earth. From this point, either I will have to climb towards Columbia or Kerala.


    I swear before Physics that my theory is 100% correct. I want Stephen Hawking to prove me wrong?


    [Too many Godmen and too many blogs on corruption, so I wanted to be scientific]

    Interesting speculation.

    According to the this, the inner core of the earth is solid iron. It is surrounded by a liquid core at 4300 deg C.

    Of course, nobody will be able to dig a hole through the core.

    Is the picture above you?

    Suresh,

    one of the most fascinating blogs I have ever read. Most interesting theory :thumbsup:thumbsup. I however feel, if you fell in or threw a pebble in, you would not be suspended in midair. You would probably never reach the centre, given its temperature :coffee.

    Hi suresh, interesting blog. Did you see the movie, "a journey to the center of the earth"?

    Suresh,

    I thought about your thought experiment some more. Assuming that a cylindrical hole can be dug, an insulating sleeve inserted, and a politician dropped in that hole, I do think that he would fall up to the center of the hole and no further. I would love ask this question of some physicist but don't know who to ask.
