Would you float in mid air, being in a virtual dead spot of gravity? Like an eye of the storm..

Or would your momentum just throw you right up to the other side of the planet?

What do you think...



Calculate it. 9.8m/s^2 for however many meters in the Earth's width to find your speed when you hit the center. I imagine you'd bounce back and forth until you eventually came to a stop.
