3) "Scientists" in 1000 AD weren't scientists as we use the term today. They were philosophers. That's one of the reasons why science was subjective: it used a non-experimentalist, rationalistic approach without resort to the modern scientific method.4) Copernicus' theory of heliocentrism, as championed by Galileo, was developed in the 16th and 17th centuries. This is not 1000 years ago, your history is almost as ric*ckulous as your science. 5) "Scientists" didn't champion heliocentrism (even Galileo recanted) because the Inquisition would gut them like a fish. 6) You're a f*cking dumbsh*t, Oregonian is right, you are wrong, die in a fire. |

 I'm sure glad you sighed! Maybe it let some air out of your g*d damn head. Wait, nope. Like, woah man... 2 plus 2 could be, like, 5 man... in the FUTURE. 
I'd be at 10 times the word limit if I gave you all the reasons you're a dumbf*ck a*shole, and this isn't even on the front page anymore, so I'll just address one point and leave it at that. "1000 years ago, did scientists agree that the universe revolved around the Earth?" 1) The universe doesn't revolve around the Earth. 2) The sun (which I assume is what you meant) doesn't revolve around the Earth. (post too long; cont'd in next post) |

what happens if u miss grabbing onto the side of earth? or the one side of earth is deeper(the earth is rather egg shaped too...) it would suck if u got stuck in the tunnel... |

A) read a credible book. B) ask someone who knows about physics |

ok for legacy15 there is no gravity controling device. basically in one of newton's laws states that an object in motion will not stop unless acted upon by another force. so the other forces are gravity, air and the railway controlling it so basically it won't keep gaining speed it will in fact hit a top speed and stablize at that speed. it could probably work with a vacuum. but still you will have to find a gravity controling device because nothing on earth is hard enough to hold like that under that pressure. so with no plausible inventions to control gravity and nothing hard enough it will never happen. plus even while digging you'll have to deal with the outer core. which is liquid under so much pressure it acts as a solid. also as of 2 years ago, the deepest hole is only 6 miles. i haven't been keeping track of that. but still my final point is it's history channel, it's still T.V. it will lie and show you useless knowledge. and you can't believe it until you |

it only works if:
1) the tunnel is a perfect vacuum, and
2) the two locations are at the same elevation. |

Haha, I saw this weeks ago on the History Channel. ^^The significance of the number 42 shall continue to be uncovered until the end of time! |

I could see this theoretically working... Suppose you can somehow dig the tunnel and prevent catastrophic failure, then make it a vacuum and keep it as such, and finally prevent the capsule thing from rubbing the sides with electromagnets. As long as the nickel hypothesized to make up the core doesn't mess with those magnets, it could be possible. I'd like to see it. Too bad I won't. |

"42 is the answer to everything!"~~~ 42 was the ultimate answer to the ultimate question; is it not?
"To everyone who is saying "This will never work!11!!1 The core is molten!!!"
Some people have said this already, and I'm going to repeat it, to enforce it to your brain. THIS. IS. JUST. THEORY." ~~~ To all those who think they know everything; The centre of the Earth is not liquid, it's solid; The "almost 4 million times regular atmosphere pressure" makes it solid. |

How far do you have to go down for it to be considered "molten" because obviously, the path to LA to NYC, wich they mentioned didn't really look all that close to anywhere near the center, but i no absoluty nothing about the layers of the earth, just throwing that out there. |

Think about this though... we can't even travel to the bottom of the ocean, and these idiots are thinking about going through the center of the earth.. so many reasons why this can't work. Whether you are religious or not.. you have to think of this as un-holy. |

I propose Hansbo and I find a really deep hole, throw Legacy15 into it, and see which break first: the laws of physics, or all his bones. |

anyone here read Jasper Fforde's novels on Thursday next?
they feature a similar transportation mode called the gravitube.
passengers can go from on side of the earth to another totally like this.also, a plus is you can choose who sits next to you. like, hot investment banker, or sweet granny.

"that we would have found some way to cancel out friction, pressure, heat, and the Gs of acceleration in entirety?"No. |

The author of hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy explained that he just thought up a random number. People just like to over-analyze because there are a few coincidinces. |
