Physics Thomas Concannon and Gerardo Giordano from king’s College in Pennsylvania (USA) said the timing of the person’s travel through the tunnel to the center of the Earth. On this study a paper was published on the website arXiv.org.
Journey to the center of the Earth is 1.8 years. The scientists consider several factors. First, the scientists conducted in the framework of the preliminary reference Earth model, which takes into account the change in the gravitational potential due to the different density at different depths of the planet.
Second, the tunnel is assumed filled with air, which makes the account of his powers of resistance with depth, the gas pressure will increase and stop the movement). Third — as a means of movement scientists propose to use the aircraft model (Airbus A380).
Previously, scientists have assessed the time of travel through the center of the planet in 38 and 42 minutes. In the first case, calculations are carried out within the framework of the preliminary reference Earth model, but do not involve filling the tunnel air. In the second case, the calculations involve moving in a vacuum tunnel in a uniform planet.
