If you go through the earth's core with a heat shield which can protect you from 5000 deg. centigrades then you can't reach to the other poles.. You will oscillate inside the earth from north pole to south at a mean position of centre of earth due to earth's gravitational force.

The oscillation would cover less distance each time due to air friction until you stopped at the Earth's core. The assumption is that the hole would have some way to be kept open so the heat and pressure of the Earth's mantle, outer core, and inner core wouldn't matter.

If the walls of your "tube" were clear, you might see giant diamonds, separated platinum and gold, and strange things for sure.

The radiation from the uranium would be intense.

There would be the problem of the core being liquid. there maybe parts that are solid but there is definitely no gas.

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.

If you use a wormhole, assuming you have enough energy to keep it stable at a macroscopic scale, then the trip could be instantaneous.

.....and possibly instant Spaghetti-fication!

Wooden spoons don't rust!

I think the center of earth is like Prince Edward Island.
There's no toll-fee to enter but there's some devil there at a toll-gate to make sure you pay to leave.

I have been developing a new branch of analog mathematics. One of the aims is to learn to say what you see, to learn principles of language.

By straight edge and compass construction, you can do your algebra. And while doing it, you learn about language, names.

People do not realize that they are proto-linguistic.

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