    outdoors the earth, the gravitational rigidity is proportional to at least a million/r^2, yet interior a body like the earth the rigidity is proportional to at least a million/r (assuming consistent density). whenever you've a rigidity like this pointing inwards proportional to at least a million/r you've user-friendly harmonic action. So assuming there became no air resistance in this tunnel, you would possibly want to bypass the entire way by to precisely the different floor transferring in the very similar way as a weight on a spring. Oh, I misinterpret the question. you'll pop out the feet first in case you went in feet first, there'd be no source of torque to rotate you.

    You will be roasted alive much before you come out so you will be floating up in spirit only
