Please clarify, dig with what? Do you also include drilling, or do you mean actual digging. Either way, the answer is probably eternity. Or to be more accurate, impossible. As you continue to dig down, the pressure and temperature continue to increase. Once you penetrated the crust (after digging about 10 miles, you would hit the liquid mantle, which is like digging into lava. Obviously, that would likely present a few problems with your tools.

a hole 5 miles deep in russia took 3 years to drill to dig that same hole would have taken man years.
to get to the centre of the earth i dont think it could be done by humans we would die from the volcano or our tools would all melt away.

The Earth is not a perfect sphere, so the distance to the center of the Earth varies from 6378 km (3963 miles) at the equator to 6357 km (3950 miles) at the poles.

ALiens can used their photon rays and dig deep at astonishing speeds, though they are careful not to dig to the molten core of the earth.

The Earth is 7,926.41 miles accross at the equator. I would say a long time.

Its not possible. The pressure and heat would never allow you to get to the center.

if you start in the spring after the ground thaws, about an hour and a half if you dig really, really fast.
