Antipodes map

If you dug a hole all the way through the Earth, where would you end up?

For me, a few hundred miles SE off the tip of South Africa.

Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Middle of the Indian Ocean, maybe 1,000 miles west of Perth.

Same here as in the middle of the Indian Ocean.  Not close to anything.

Here too. I’d guess about 500 miles from Perth for me.

Looks like about halfway between Australia and the Cape of Good Hope.

450 miles, 320 degrees from the French Southern and Antarctic lands. I'm gonna need a bigger boat.

I need to look at moving there. Perfect weather for me, and practically no people.  :laugh:

Winter is actually warmer than here, and Summer is around ten deg cooler.

Antipodes:  Middle of the Indian Ocean,

Through to the same latitude on the other side:  "Singyang" province, China.

Don't forget that with respect to digging through to the antipodes, once you get to the earth's center, the remaining digging will all be upward.

Nertz to that sez me.

(Incidentally, a corollary of that is there is no gravity at the center of the earth.  Or any other body, for that matter.  I've been toying with the idea that this is also true for black holes, zero gravity at their centers; don't know if anyone else has dealt with that issue.)

Makes you wonder how the phrase, "digging your way to China" originated. Picking points in China generally put you off the coast of Argentina somewhere. If you figure it's an English language phrase that started in England, London puts you off New Zealand.

Probably the same people who came up with the joke if all Chinese jumped up and down at once

But if everyone digs a hole to the other end of the world, where will they put all the dirt?  That is a lot of holes.

I guess so.  Going through Albuquerque gets you no where.

Well hell, I was always told I would end up in China. Over 60 years of beliefs, shattered, next someone will tell me there are more than two genders.  :O


I ended up directly east of Cape Town and Southeast of Madagascar. It may be wet but it is a great spot for sport fishing!

Well, your compass may not work well during the dig so a wrong turn is very possible. 

The newer Total Recall movie said London would link to Australia or something.  A clean miss.
