Hypothetically speaking........

Let's figure out how to dig the hole first. Then we can worry about the bowling ball.

 

True. The core is just pressurized rock and stuff.

 

I have heard this before. Gravity would accelerate it toward the center. Then when it gets past the center it would decelerate until it reached the surface at the other end at speed 0. Unless you picked it up, it fall back to the other side.

The interesting thing is that you could create other shorter holes that do not go through the center of the earth. However the time taken to go from surface to surface would be equal because the shorter hole would give less time to accelerate.

 

Heres an article. http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=696 Its called a gravity train and would always take about 45 minutes from surface to surface.

Heres another interesting one about the deepest hole ever drilled. http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=567
