they say gravity pulls us down, continuosly,, only the solidness of the dirt beneath your feet stop you from falling to the centre of the earth. if you remove this dirt (rock, grass, marble tile floor , or whatever it is) by means of an endless hole (by endless i hope you mean without any rock bottom end, and not that the hole is infinately long.)
if you make this hole you would fall to the center, now imagine someone on the other side is falling too, you both would meet at the center, and there is no reason for either of you to 'fall' any futher beyond the center. you would be crushed and squeezed there, adding to the core.which is what the core is, crushed molten super heated rock(not to say that these rocks fell from any such endless hole).
THE only way to reach the other side of the planet would be to either have a rocket engine for when you reach the core to blast your way back to the surface, OR to cancell gravity, but if you cancell gravity that would defeat the whole context of your question, and may as well you be 'floating' though thge hole, grabing on to rocks to pull yourself forward,(it would indeed be a long journey).

Well, if you simply stepped into the whole, you would fall through the earth, untill you were almost to the otherside. Then you would fall back, and almost make it to the other side. And this would continue until you were stuck in the middle of the Earth's core.
Now if you jumped from a ladder high enough up, you may be able to just make it out from the other side.
This is because when any energy is transfered from one form to another (gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy in this case) some energy is "lost." This energy is turned into what i like to call "unusable heat energy."
Unusable heat energy is just an other name for entropy.

No you would not.
Assuming that you passed through the Earth unharmed, friction with air would slow your body down once it passed the center point. You would never reach the other side of the planet. Think of it like a pendulum. With each swing (or each pass through the center of the planet) you would lose momentum.

hello why would any one jump into an endless hole. appear on the other side of the earth that the earth is round and gas in the center you would not lake it far. dead . heave or hell would await u good luck

No. You will be attracted by the force of attraction at the Earth's core and stuck at the Earth's Core forever.

that ought to implie an end. There are also gravitational complications. Earth's gravity is what pulls you 'DOWN' notwithstanding it sluggish once you hit the middle (ignoring the molten temperatures) you ought to stop being pulled down.. and as you exceeded the middle you ought to commence to be pulled decrease back in route of the middle. See ? meaning NO

you would have so much momentum that it would shoot you out the other side and up into orbit...I would be amaaaaaaaaaaazing. kinda like the opposite of that red bull orbit jump. haha

Nope. If it were endless then there would be no end to actually come out of. Like the energizer bunny it would just keep going and going and going.

No. The velocity to the center of the earth eventually stop and you can't get out of it.

No, you would come to rest at the center of the Earth's mass.
