Antipode's

Out of interest I sent a text through to the AQA service
http://www.issuebits.com/
The service tries to answer your questions.

Question: If I drilled a hold down from Newbury through the core and kept going where which Country / town would I end up in?

A few minutes passed....

Answer: If you drilled a hold down through Newbury, you wouldn't arrive in a country. You would accelerate to the centre and burn up in the fiery molten core.

I though that this was a bit of a cop out, obviously the student who was answering the question couldn't be arsed to do a little research and learn something about it!, so this is dedicated to the lazy student who couldn't be arsed to answer the question and came back with a sarcastic answer...

Firstly you need to know the Latitude and Longitude of the start location. In this instance I used Newbury Racecourse which is located at N51°23.45, W001°17.59.

There is a little bit of software on the net that will convert this to the opposite.

The location then comes out as:

51°23'45"S
178°42'1"E

Using google earth you can enter the co-ordinates, this puts you South of New Zealand towards Antarctica. The nearest Island is aptly named Antipodes island with list 118 miles north of Newbury's actual Antipode.

So the proper answer should have been

You would actually enter the South Pacific Sea, approximately 118miles south of the Antipodes Islands.

During the research a friend of mine also came up with the same answer but also found out that it would take you 42 minutes to fall through the earth! As you pass through the geographic centre of the earth you would be weightless and travelling at around 17,700 mph! You would need to be caught as you exited the hole otherwise you would fall back through the hole and head back to your start point.

So overall quite an interesting morning :O)
Cheers Alex for you added research on this! :O)
