Help me understand the physics of this, this just baffles my mind.

This Finally convinced me. The earth is flat

Hahaha, it crossed my mind too for .5 seconds.

What is your ladder made out of?

You'd be weightless in the center of the core. The mass of the earth would be pulling you in every direction equally.

Not only that, but the gravity would gradually get less and less as you approach

Before or after you light up in burning ball of flesh?

Well the fusion reaction at the core may be problematic, but we are ignoring

Gravity would pull you until you pass the core then it Would gradually switch

That would be such a weird transition. Something out of Interstellar

Not a sudden change, though, a very slow shift as you are going. May not even be

Don’t think of up and down. Think of it as towards gravitational center and away from gravitational center.

I think we just found Ender Wiggin. This is exactly how he thought. 🙂

Why use a ladder to go down? Just jump. You'll come to a slow stop. Eventually.

You would come to a stop in the center, and hang there for eternity.

Here is the problem, too

For a while it would be just like climbing down a ladder, but gradually start

It's a classic physics problem used on students who are taking a calculus-based

I’ve always heard that the pressure at the core of the Earth is enormously large and uninhabitable
