Just to be clear, are you suggesting that a tunnel from one side of the earth to the other side, via directly through the earth's core, is impossible to use?

No, I would use it all the time.....for squashing my enemies

It's not about a frictionless environment. It's about gravity. I want to know from the smart people if sd is correct or if nothing would happen.

In that case, Linux is right.

SQUASHED!

I don't trust him. I'm starting to think squashed.

That is just large font and bold text messing with your head.  Stay strong.

Why is everyone talking about building tunnels through the Earth's core, anyway?

for squashing

[AppleJack]

How do we know Event Horizons really exist? 

[The1BigWillie]

How deep of a hole do we need before squashing starts.  I have a shovel and some assholes that would keep me busy for quite a while.

It is a matter of a frictionless environment.  If you include the friction and wind resistance however minimal it might be compared to that of the earths gravitational pull, then eventually you will stop oscillating about the center of the earth and will come to rest at the center.  Also if we're going to take into account the smaller forces, then we should include that the earth is not a perfect sphere.  Therefore, there will be pull from odd angles and not just into and out of the tunnel we create. Eventually, you may crash into the side of the tunnel unless it is a rather large tunnel.

However, i do enjoy the squashed theory.

Tarriffs and import quotas create deadweight losses which eff with efficiency.

No the hell it's not. Quit being a prick. There's a ladder in the tunnel.

[ew2x4]

And I never said it was a hole. You jump into holes. You don't jump into tunnels. You people need to see yourselves to the medium/low thread.

By your definition of a tunnel with a ladder would be more properly defined as a Chute, maybe even a shaft.  But not just a tunnel.  Perhaps you're the one who should be sent to the dumbass thread.

to briefly get back to the water in space concept - it doesn't just "go where it wants" because surface tension still exists in microgravity so the mass of water will eventually ball up (lowest SAV ratio) and then travel in a straight line in the direction of the last force that was exerted upon it.

Then it's squashing time

It would be a tunnel when you're in the middle of the earth with no definable "up" or "down".

You guys are killing me.

By definition, Chutes and Ladders are two completely diff things.  One helps you win, the other is a KITN.  You never encounter a chute with a ladder.  Pfft.

Is that a special Hey Arnold edition?
