if i was to dig to the center of the earth (pretend it isn't extremely hot), what would gravity be like?

at the centre of the earth you would be essentially weightless as the mass would be all around you with none underneath pulling you to the centre

If you assume hat the earth is a solid metal and the origin of gravity is magnetism then when you sit in the center of it the gravity would be zero !

If you dug down to the center of the earth ( presuming you could )
and hollowed out a little cavity for yourself in the very center, you
would probably have little gravity at all...

while gravity pushes in, one may say the center is a outward force, stopping you from ever reaching it. at a layer 1/3rd to the surface it is reversed. esentally everything from the center pushing outward would throw you towards the surface, and you would find 0-point gravity around there. however, from that action, you would be caught in a perpetual bounce...
that point of reversal could also be further to the center at the outer layer of the core (which is only theoretical)
and for you, mr.formular, its g'=g(1-d/(R/3))...
lol

IF U DIG TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH THEN THE GRAVITY OF THE EARTH ACTING UPON U WILL DECREASE GRADUALLY.EARTHS GRAVITY WILL BE ZERO AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH.LET EARTHS NEW GRAVITY WHEN U DIG AND GO TO A DEPTH OF "d" FROM THE SURFACE BE g'. EARTH'S ACTUAL GRAVITY AT THE SURFACE BE g.THEN THE EQUATION IS g'=g(1-d/R)
where R is the radius of earth.

He believed the solar grow to be the middle. That grow to be opposite to the Catholic church on the time and have been given him into concern. The early church believed the earth grow to be the middle and the heavens went around the earth.

you would be gravitated towards every direction. The opposite of experiencing pressure in deep water.

Well it would be extremely hot and the pressure and no one would survive it

You couldn't tell, the pressure would be so great that it would smash you into a little cube.
