Okay, so physics is not my area of expertise by any stretch so it may be that it is more of math problem or something, but my question has to do with how long it takes to go from the north to the south pole, but in inner space not on earth. Does anybody happen to know whether or not it's possible, how long it takes, if the timing on the return is different (like with plane travel), and whether or not this makes a difference to growth for organisms.

Good question. However it would take me longer than normal as I'd have to stop off somewhere for a vodka or two.

20,004 kilometers (12,430 miles) from north to South but this is in a straight line and on earth. However, as the earth is egg shaped you would have to use spherical trigonometery to work it out and I'll let you do the maths.
Don't forgot to use the distance above the earth you would be in your calculations.
Answers on a postcard please

I'm looking for an answer, or at least some formulas or calculation to try. I've no concept of math really but found the question too intriguing, so I asked here, which I hoped would garner some help to get to the answer, rather than just give me a whole bunch more questions.

Edited for off-Topic.

Obviously your English is not too good either because I didn't ask you one single question.
I simply gave you the means to work it out for yourself.

I bet you Santa Claus knows the answer..

try google.....every answer to every question.....all in 0.43 seconds

You are correct, you did not ask a question. However, your answer only posed more questions, it did not answer any of them, which is why I said you only added more questions. It's simple critical thinking. For the comment below about Google, I did try this particular avenue and it did not solve the issue either. Now, in regard to my English speaking and writing skills, as well as my reading comprehension/critical thinking skills, they all work quite well. Also, the words written here along with my explanations stand on their own merit. I cannot help it if you are offended by them.

Really?! Because I never once thought of that (sarcasm by the way, it can be beautiful). Yeah, I tried that already which is why I moseyed onto a forum here where I thought I might get an answer, seeing as how it had to do with science and all. But okay, apparently, to you, I'm too stupid to even figure out how to work a computer properly. Silly me.

Don't mind the peanut gallery.



Inner space?

Are you asking how long it would take to travel through a tunnel dug through the center of the earth?

Or maybe you meant outer space? (I substitute words all the time when typing fast).

What is inner space?

Actually, planes fly in inner space. It is the space between the Earth and outer space. But if you mean how far is it, then it is 12,430 miles between the poles in a straight line. You couldn't travel there since the inner core is about 9,800 �F.

I am not sure what you mean about flying unless you are speaking of tail winds. Or you are thinking of time zones, which do not affect flight time.

Actually, pilots (like me) fly planes in "airspace". I have only heard of inner space in other worldly terms.

yup, google, astal walking, remote viewing, string theory and the 10 dementions > 122, Trithrons

eh, I'm a computer geek. They say we are meta.....data...physical.

OH.....MY.....GALOSHES.

I am going to assume when you said "inner space" you meant through the earths crust and not on the surface, and funkyfranky the information you gave would require someone to know how to calculate circumference of an ellipse. I'm uncertain how many people actually know how to do that with only half of the circumference alone. I know I would need to know at least how elliptical the earth is before trying solve that sticky problem (as the circumference would deal with both radii a and b C= 2(Pi)[(a^2+b^2)/2]^(1/2) ).

Luckily, I just have to wiki the polar radii to find the answer and boom it's
6,356.7523 km so the Distance would be twice that. Unfortunately, since I don't know how fast (IE velocity or speed) that you intend on going, so at minimum time (as in the speed of light) you'd be going 299,792,458 m / s or 299,792.458 km/s so less then 1/20th of a second to travel that distance. Where as the maximum time you could take depending on multiple factors, carrying the two, about 2.8 billion plus or minus 3 billion years since by then there would be no earth to care about any ways. I know, rough calculations and such but that's life, and the life of the planet so to speak. :D

As for the other question no not possible with the technology we have now, It's too damn hot and I wouldn't want to mess with the core of the earth anyway since it well KEEPS THINGS ALIVE, because of the van alen belt. Yay for magnetic fields keeping away hazardous and deadly radiation.

Also, yes depending on how fast you accelerated there would be a time dilation due to the acceleration at near light speeds, and gravitational changes from going through the center of the freakin' Earth.

No time zone changes since neither the north nor the south pole have them, it would be impossible and impractical to define them near the poles any ways. I'm also assuming that you know that there are two different poles, the magnetic and rotational, and you are talking about the rotational pole. Mainly because it's easier to use that since it's mostly fixed.

Lastly, Yes living things that go through molten hot magma tend to not live that long. Usually seconds. so the faster you go the better. but going that fast has it's own detriments, like the pure physical resistance that I'm going to ignore for the sake of my own sanity, and the issue of extreme forces that would tear anything apart atom by atom or worse quark by quark. It wouldn't be pleasant I assure you. That would leave you with one option of using a FTL drive to punch through, but that would likely cause the earth to well break apart in what would be considered an ELE class disaster.

It's a good thing that we don't have one of those just laying around now isn't it. I do hope this answered your questions. It was fun not causing my brain to try to beat me half to death with a rusty wooden spoon.
