Is there anyway we could travel to the centre of the Earth?

Hi Andrew, I have seen The Core and many other films on the subject but what I thought about was, what if we were to drill all the way to the other side, would we be upside down when we got to the other side and would we just fall back down the hole again I am sure if there is ever a problem with the earths core, there would be some plan and a team of scientists in place

It is theorized that travel to the center of the earth had been accomplished, and frequented. There are known tunnels that travel thousands of miles through mountains and earth. These "secret tunnels" were used by secret societies to meet and discuss their agendas. Some say that the illuminati know that travel to the center of the earth is a fact, but nobody knows what they know... well atleast not you anyways. You should ask why. Then do something about it.

I think it may be possible because of the technology we have today. But i am not quite eager to find what is we could find at the center of the earth. Or if ever they do, i sincerely hope that they do it without violating Mother Nature.

If we ever get to a point where we can do that all I can say is, "Bring your bathing suit because it's going to be plenty hot there!" LOL! Well, they do have those huge tunnel bulldozer type machines. I forget what you call them, but, you know what I mean. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Well Surely why not? If the ride is ready i am ready too. Kidding. A very interesting discussion.I enjoyed the entire loop.

It just a film. It's possible to the center of the earth but It's impossible get back life from the center of the earth. You will be burned there.

I think they would attempt to send robots to the center of the earth if such a scenario took place. I can imagine a shaft being dug deeper and deeper, but they would not deploy humans to fix the problem, they would use androids.

May I make the suggestion that you study Science in College this semester?

Hot topic. Take us physically there, I kind of doubt it. Send some kind of probe down there that could withstand the heat and pressure, possibly.

I have seen The Core and I doubt it could be possible to survive down there, let alone be able to drill all the way down. . . A crazy idea would be building a machine using diamond, the hardest material ever known. So we could spend a lot of money making that and then throw it down and make it start going to the center. But if there was some problem, like in the movie, I don't think we could send people down there, because it would mean they can't come back up (in real life, how could we really propel them back to the surface?). So, I say it would be possible to survive a trip down there, but it would be very expensive, and it would be hard to actually dig through all that.

It is an interesting thought. Because the gravitational field would decrease as you approached the center, we could theoretically drill a hole all the way through to the other side of the planet and something very curious would happen. If you stepped into the hole, gravity would pull you down at ever increasing speed until you passed the center, at which gravity would begin to slow your travel. In a theoretical world (we do not live there) your speed would go to zero when you reached the surface on the other side. Not to rain on your picnic (it is fun to think about stuff like this) there is no known substance that would be able to retain its original shape when subjected to the intense heat and pressure deep in the earth. Maybe someday some kind of ceramic will be able to do that. If they do that, let me know how your ride turns out. I will NOT be going, at least not on the first one.

There is a fictional book about Journey to the center of the earth and it also became a movie on 2008 stared by Brendan Fraser. I think its not possible to travel by foot going through inside the volcano because even if the volcano is inactive there would still be steaming lava that will become an hindrance during the journey. About the technology that would take us to the center of the earth, I think its possible since we did travel to outer space, what more to the center of the earth.

Hello Andrew, Next week I watched "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (with Brendan Fraser in The Mummy) The story is about a scientist who believes that there are volcanic tubes going to the center of the Earth. He, his nephew and the mountain guide after that discover this is true. In the center of the Earth, there're ancient animals and plants such as dinosaurs or lighting bird... In Doraemon the manga, there are something similar. Sounds crazy, but who knows, thousand years ago, when Pythagoras said that the Earth is round, people called him crazy ^^

Yeah, you are true we must try our level best to carry out the project and research about how to overcome the doom's day which has created terrific images in our mind..With our best efforts we can find a solution to this, as the saying goes "IMPOSSIBLE IS THE WORD FOUND IN THE DICTIONARY OF THE FOOLS"..

The only thing I really know about the movie "The Core" is that it's science was laughed at... but that's why it's science FICTION. It's not likely to happen. It is theorized that the very center of the earth, underneath all the magma, there is some kind of solid mass. I don't remember all the exact details from whatever textbook I picked this up from, but it has something to do with seismic waves and the way they travel through the earth. Something stops waves that should travel directly through the core, and therefore the core must be a solid mass rather than magma. But nobody's actually gone into the center of the earth to confirm this. We don't have the technology to drill much past the crust, much less through the mantle layer and magma. I'm sure you can imagine that the center of the earth has an extreme heat thing going on. It wouldn't be easy to get all the way to the core. So IF the the core was a problem... we probably wouldn't be able to fix it. Maybe a hundred years from now, but not today.
