IF U START DIGIN THRU ENGLAND & COME OUT OF AUSTRALIA. WILL U BE OUT HEAD 1st OR FEET?

Question

Don't worry about dying, using robot, thinking of core! heat or any imposiable thing come to your mind. Just think digin down ward with shovel. when in the exect centre u stil b digin down ward? then how can you come out feet 1st? won't u fall back to england? o0OQ

Answer 1

Head first, as you will always be orientiung yourself (and your super-duper-digging-contraption) with gravity.

Unless you walk around on your hands all day...

Answer 2

It depends on how you're digging. If you are digging head first, you'll come out that way. Unless you turn yourself around somewhere. If you're going in feet first, you'll come out feet first. Its simple enough; if you are moving in a straight continuous line, and you do not change your angle, altitude or pitch, then from beginning to end you will still be in the same position as when you started.

Answer 3

good question , have you thought about getting rid of the soil as you dig , all the way to the core it would try to fall into the hole you were digging. But once past the centre it would fly past your head and get rid of itself.(neat eh)
If you try it, make sure you get a visa first cos the Aussies get quite cross if you turn up without one.

Answer 4

very funny answers here, but a great question. Technically its not possible to drill a hole through the earth, but hypothetically if you are able to do so, you will still come out of the hole with your head out, cause you will adjust yourself to the gravity of earth.

Read this link, tells very interesting stuff about this question that has interested man kind since so long.

This link shows you where you would come out if you start digging in a particulat place:

Answer 5

After you pass through the center of the earth up and down would change. So you would actually be digging over your head. When you completed your dig you would emerge head first.

Answer 6

I think that if it were possible, you would reach the core and the current of the lava would turn you right side up to have to dig and climb your way back to the top reaching the other side of the planet. That is if you were a robot. (LOL)

Answer 7

Well, providing that you don't die of exhaustion, boredom, melting/burning, being buried alive, claustrophobia, insanity, starvation, thirst, then I suppose head first as that's the way a normal person would dig a tunnel - you need to be able to see what you're doing!

Answer 8

...well assuming that you can stand the heat of the earth core....if you dig in england feet first....and you reach the earth core, you'll find that you'll be struggling to go up digging all the way to australia, in which case your head will come out first....

Answer 9

As you are digging with your hands, no matter where you come out that too if you are able to, surviving all that heat and molten lava down inside, it will always be head first.

Answer 10

Assuming that you dig in a straight line AND SURVIVE PASSING THROUGH THE CORE OF THE EARTH... I'd say feet first

Answer 11

You couldnt dig a hollow by the earths center because the centre of the earth is molten. even if, in case you need to, you wouldnt pop out the different end because gravity pulls in route of the middle, so that you will be stuck there!
