Hypothetical

[GiggleBlizzard]

If you're falling to the core, you'll deccellerate nearing the center since gravity at the other side also pushing you at the same time. This force pushing you down will be overwhelmed by the force propelling you up as you got near the center.

Is this really how it works? I thought gravity only worked in 'one' direction, but... I was gonna use a magnet as an example but then I realised that a magnet follows the rules you just said.

I think gravity does work like that, as you said, in one direction. Hypothetically, if you could pass through the core unscathed, I think it is generally accepted that you would swing back and forth, gradually losing momentum until come to a full stop at the center. If you had absolutely no mass then I suppose it would happen as JAP said, but I don't think earth's gravitational forces are strong enough to bring your momentum down to zero instantly at the center. Could be completely wrong though.

Actually it's not one direction, use 2 magnets. If you take the sides of the magnets that do not pull and put them against eachother, they will push. It's because they pull in -> direction, so if || is the magnet the force would be like this

Pull Magnet push (the push being slightly less powerful)
---> || ->

Just like a vacum cleaner has to push air in the back to suck in air in the front.

But then if a core is round and pulls from all sides, at the exact same power from all sides, then you would basically just stick to the core, and if you could go through the mass surrounding the core you would simply fall into the very center of the core and stay there... Considering how strong the earth's core is though you would probably implode or something.
