      Hi, this is a very deep question! đŸ™‚
      Sorry, but I am not an expert in digging. I would strongly doubt about the fact that anyone can dig so deeply to reach the Earth’s core, mainly for three reasons:
      – I guess there are layers of solid rocks very hard between us and the centre of the Earth
      -You need a very powerful excavator with a very long arm, which I doubt has never been invented yet
      – As you get very close to the core you will encounter a very hot temperature, you may be not able to sustain it. The same it is true for the gravity force you will subject to, the closer the stronger.

      You will get a better chance to reach the Earth’s core by diving through a volcano tip hole, but I strongly advise against it!
