He loves to hear himself talk.
Fake news, you'd only fall to the center, not up thru the other side.
The gravitational force would cause you bounce Like a bungee cord until you came to rest at the center. Might be a little hot there so wear sunscreen!
If you “fall” at a specific speed towards the center, you don’t simply slow down or stop as you near the center. You would have the constant speed until you have reached the apex of the “middle”, and once you pass that threshold your speed would start to slow down because you are now in the gravitational pull towards the center.
why isn't Tyson pointing out that you'd fall to the center and stop there? you wouldn't "fall" to the other side.
Would you reach the other side or just float in the middle, because gravity on the other side is pulling back down
