First of all, it's impossible. But let's just pretend there isn't so many layers that trying that wouldn't work and that the people digging wouldn't burn to death.

If you released the object, it would fall towards the center of the Earth. Most likely it'd stay there unless it has so much force that it'll defy gravity. The center of the force of gravity on Earth is the center of the Earth, so it should stay in the middle, if it's the exact middle.

I think that in theory, the object would finally just sorta remain hovering at the center of the Earth due to centrifugal forces balancing each other out. On the other hand, that's assuming the world would remain that way, so you'd probably need a pipe the diameter of the Earth to prevent everything from collapsing around it, and even then I'm not sure the Earth could take the piercing of the core like that... Interesting, but not likely to happen any time soon I'm sure. ;)

Good question !!! It will move to a point in the hole where an equilibrium of gravity will be achieved and stop moving. to have a better idea one would also have to know if the longitudinal hole is from pole to pole or at some differential degree of perpendicular to the linear poles.


oh it says in the bible that the earth is supported by pillars, so the object would fall down upon the pillars that support the earth

Any object thrown in would fall to the center of the earth and stay there. The center of the earth is theorized to be extremely dense, hot, iron and nickel and some say earth's center is actually so hot it must be liquid, which would make it impossible to actually keep a clear hole through the center.

in my theory, you can't dig a hole through earth b/c right at this moment we haven't even penetrate the crust yet. And if we succeeded then magma would come out of the crust b/c the mantle is like a rotation wheel of magma. Let believe that you got all the way through and see the other side (too far to see). Then i believe the object would be stuck in the middle of the core because that is our magnetics field. (how we don't float around b/c of gravity.

The object will fall to the center of the earth and proceed no farther.
Gravity pulls all objects toward the center of the Earth.

The object will fall until it gets to the middle of the earth, after which it would be traveling up, therefore, it would simply stay in the middle of the earth, where it would be consumed by middle earth dwelling creatures.

the object will probably melt, because the inside of the earth is so hot
