SORRY GUYS, the core is NOT molten! Gravity is so strong that by the time you get near the center, you are back to a solid. Please don’t perpetuate another myth.

How neat that several of you are ending up near SW Australia. That means if I dig through I’ll end up somewhere in your neck of the woods. But I’m sure my parents still think it’d be China.

Freakin’ sweet! I’d end up just southwest of Australia.

Haha – yeah, okay. Plus, digging through the molten core makes no sense at all.

Technically speaking you end up directly south of china. If you were to dig straight through the earth longitudinally only, while remaining at the same latitude, then you would end up in the middle of China just south of Mongolia.
