What will happen to you if you get into the center of the Earth

Some interesting theoretical calculations about how physics works inside our planet

Reach the center of the earth and thus can not survive: core temperature of the earth is almost five thousand ° C, which is comparable to the temperature on the solar surface, moreover, the pressure at a depth of about three million times higher than the surface of the Earth. But that's not all - in the center of the physics of the planet is much more interesting.

Gravity or gravity force will in this case be crucial. The force of attraction is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them - the more they weigh, and the closer to each other are, the greater the force of attraction. That is why we can not break away from the Earth's surface.

In the center of the world the situation is somewhat different. The earth is close to spherical, so the center of gravity under the influence of force throughout its mass will counteract each other. Thus, in the center of the earth you will be uniformly "pull" in all directions at once, and, oddly enough, that would be similar to the conditions of weightlessness.



But what happens if you try to leave the center of the earth, say, rising for a very long staircase, which ends in Los Angeles? For simplicity, let's assume that the density of the Earth from the center to the surface is the same everywhere.

So, because of the gravity will pull your foot to the Indian Ocean, and a head at the same time - to Los Angeles. After overcoming a few steps you will continue to pull to the side of the Indian Ocean, and you continue to feel almost weightless. But as you go up, the weight above you will be less and less, and under your feet, on the contrary, more so the pull of the Earth's core will feel stronger and you will gradually lose the feeling of weightlessness, while on the surface it does not go away finally.
