If you want to dig to China, you’d actually need to start your journey in Chile or Argentina — not the US. And you’d need a super-powered drill to get through impenetrable iron, molten alloy, and rock found in Earth’s three primary layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Good luck!

    3:20 mistake - the gravitational force does not pull away from the centre. At any point inside the earth, the gravitational force of the mass of earth less deep then you cancels out to zero. This means that the gravitational force you experience is from the mass of earth deeper than you, is always towards the centre, and is proportional to the distance from the centre, meaning that right at the centre, you can float in zero G. All of this is a simplification and approximation and assumes an earth of uniform density and smooth surface.
