    “Everyone at some point in our lives, has wanted to dig to the center of the earth.” The fact that this is his most viewed video only enforces this point. Edit: the fact that someone liked this within 8 hours even though I’m about 5 years late means this video had a constant stream of new (or returning) viewers wanting to dig a hole. Which continues to enforce his point.

    If you dropped a golf ball (for example) down a tunnel that went all the way through the earth, in a straight line, would it slow down as it approached the earth's centre (since beyond that point it would be travelling upwards)? Or would it acquire enough momentum as it fell to carry it through the centre of the earth? At what point would it slow down? And where would it finally come to rest? The earth's centre of gravity is approximately 40 km from the centre of the earth in the direction of the moon. Is this where the ball would eventually come to rest? And would it float in mid air, given that the force (or pull) of gravity would be equal on all sides?

      Maybe because when you fall, the gravity drops you at high speed. Digging down has nothing to do with gravity. When you dig a hole, you're holding the handle. The gravity is keeping you on the ground. But when you fall, the gravity is pulling you down with high force. So that's why.

      About 2800 km, at that depth there's a temperature of around 3000 Kelvin, so Tungsten could still work to build with, but lower than that and even tungsten melts. (It's not a sharp limit, just an approximation).
      The theoretical limit is all the way through if we just get rid of that pesky heat melting everything, like let's say we cool the earths core down completely, I mean, what has that hot core ever done for us except create the magnetic field around the earth protecting us from the suns radiation stripping away our atmosphere. Who needs an atmosphere when you have a spaceship! Get rid of it I say! Then finally we can have our hole all the way through an we can drive spaceships through the planet all day without any stupid dirt stopping us!
      You could possibly build some sort of plasma container around your tunnel by instead of cooling the surrounding magma you super heat it into a plasma and then contain it with a super strong magnetic field, but that would require like... tons of energy, and magnetic fields stronger than anything we can make today.

Then he told them that this is the sound of a stone that was thrown in Hellfire seventy years ago, and it has been descending in Hellfire until now when it hit the bottom of the Hellfire pit. What you heard was the sound of Hellfire making noise when the stone fell inside.

    I honestly think we should try, go to a desolate desert or tundra section off a massive area and start digging down as if we are building a quarry or an open air mine, but at an absolutely massive scale, in effect an inverted piramid of sorts, just more stable and allows the hole to be much wider, the goal should be to just go all in on this, really try to get as deep as possible all the while investigating the minerals and soil as we go until we reach our limit, likely due to the extreme heat at which point we start designing equipment that let's us go deeper still, ever further
