If you dug a hole through the center of the earth,and jumped in, would you go through or get stuck in the middle?

If you actually had a hole all the way through you would fall to some high speed in the center and your momentum would carry you way up the other side. Air resistance would slow you so you would not reach the top on the other side. You would probably then fall back down, etc. until you stopped in the center.

You would fall, reach the center, then gravity would work against you and once you came to a stop you would start to fall in the opposite direction. I think.

It really wouldn't matter as you would be dead, baked, and crispy long before you made it to the center.
If the tube was sealed and a perfect vacuum, you would make it to the other side, otherwise air resistance would slow you down enough you wouldn't have the speed to make it.Like (1)

It's not possible. The Earth is liquid inside.

Finally, an excellent question. i'm pretty sure you would get stuck in the middle. I've pondered this for years.

according to a documentary i watched the theory is that you would get almost to the other side and start falling back the other way. like a yo-yo that would be perpetual
