    This video is clearly not real. It is obviously an animation and not actual footage of the center of the earth.

    When you are in the center of the earth, you have 6,000 km of rock pressing on you from all sides. But if you drill a hole (as a thought experiment, because it is technically impossible), you will have a free space in the center, say 10 x 10 x 10 meters. Will you still be squeezed together in that free space? Some say no: you will float in the middle, others say yes, because you are not squeezed by the 6000 km of rock, but by the space-time curvature, which is still maximally present at the center. Hard to imagine, and we may never know. Where is the physicist to explain this?

    Perhaps there is a meeting line between gravity and electromagnetism, or where we can mimic what the Earth does so that we dont get crushed. Like the electromagnetic force field and witht the atmosphere’s structure
