I think from the start point of your falling diagram it would be more likely that you get smashed by our million pieces of space junk, and furthermore once you pass the core of the earth wouldn't you be floating? The mountains are nice though, very south park :p

We'd need enough debris to form a Saturn like ring around the planet before I'd ever be worried about hitting something. As for the falling, I'm not sure I comfortably grasp the physics. My mind tells me I'd freefall to the core and begin slowing down until I stop and begin to fall again... and it would just keep going like that, provided nothing was causing resistance. I love this science stuff, but there's a reason I lean more to southpark style stuff in my publications. It's easier to pretend to be an idiot than it is to pretend to be smart. LOL
Looks like we're getting close to those rings haha
There are quite a few kilometers in between each one of those dots. Orbital mechanics is something I learn about in my free time. Yup. Space Nerd.
By the way, did i get a subtle shout-out after you said you couldn't find anything funny to say at the beginning of this post?
That's actually an inside joke only a few people would remember. I'd have to dig deep to find the post. I can't even remember which one it was.
My fun comes when someone checks what duckbutter is for the first time and sees the urban dictionary definition :D
I like how searching my name just loops people right back here.
