If you dig a really deep hole, where do you end up?

Really deep. "All the way straight through the planet" deep.

The long-forgotten childhood question finally solved! :p


Me, I'd end up in the ocean southeast of New Zealand. If you draw a straight line from Melbourne to the southern tip of NZ and continue for pretty much the same distance again in southeastern direction, that's where I'll be bobbing on the waves with my shovel. :)

it's actually impossible to dig "down through the earth".

at the point you hit the center of the earth (assuming you could survive it) you would be at the center of the planet's gravity. At which point you would no longer be digging down, you'd be climbing up.

I'd wash up right above the 'great meteor tablemount' (submerged volcano). I would only be around 50 km from the Azores Islands, but If I couldn't swim that far, the ocean currents would carry me right past the Madeira Islands, then Santa Cruz de Tenerife. If I missed all of those, I would wash up on the western Sahara disputed territories of Morocco, or possibly float along the coast to Cape Verde islands.

So it is either Portuguese Island paradise, another Portuguese Island Paradise, Spanish Island paradise, West African war zone, and an ex-portuguese west african island paradise. So apart from the war zone, I got it pretty sweet.

The long-forgotten childhood question finally solved! :p


Me, I'd end up in the ocean southeast of New Zealand. If you draw a straight line from Melbourne to the southern tip of NZ and continue for pretty much the same distance again in southeastern direction, that's where I'll be bobbing on the waves with my shovel. :)

After dying of heat in the core I will emerge to drown/die of cold about halfway between North Carolina and Portugal.

Me, I ended up at approximately the half-way point in the Indian Ocean between Tasmania and Cape Horn.

I was personally amazed to find my exact street, right where I am in rural Colorado. Incredible.

EDITSU: Err...not Cape HORN. Moron...it's that other Cape...what's it called...
I can't tell you how glad I am that I'm not the only one who simply cannot get those two names straight. :P

Looks like a hundred or so kilometres west of the Azores, in the North Atlantic. Hard to tell without a scale, though.
This is such a disappointment! I was counting on the Australians to land on dry land, too, not just the Kiwis. :(

Just off the coast of Madagascar for me. "Just." That's a big just... Eh, don't worry. You can pass the time reenacting Jaws with the other Northern Californians. :)

Where I am right now (at school in HK), Directly opposite me is a mountainous desert region on the Bolivian/Argentine border, near a large lake - the Laguna De Los Pozuelos.
Ooooohhhhhh, okay, now you actually made me envious. I would love to pop out there!

Off the east coast of the USA. Pretty close to Bermuda. - oh crap, it's in the Bermuda Triangle, it looks like. Hmm, maybe the ships from the Triangle end up somewhere around Perth?
same thing happen to me and i dig from my bed room
were are they then
:p Maybe your mom threw them out because you left them lying around again?

From the northernmost point of the last Japanese island before reaching South Korea...I end up just off the coast of Brazil. Nearly made it to dry land! :) Yay, someone from a new location! And aw, still ended up in the water. :) :(

Where are you now? I ended up the same place.

In Kansas. It'd be impossible for me though. I can't even get a shovel halfway into the ground without hitting solid rock. I'm serious, my house is on 6 inches of soil on top of granite. :mad:

I just suppose that this means that we can't dig to China by going straight through the earth...we'll have to dig at a chord, or whatever they're called on spheres.

(Yes, I know the earth isn't a perfect sphere.)
