If I dig a very deep hole where does it come out again?

I'm disappointed that we're some way from land, we'd have to go out in the North Sea to even hit a very small volcanic island.

On the other hand if you tunneled through the earth you could probably be a very small volcanic island...

True, but you'd tend to be one on this side of the globe rather than the other one.

*pout* why do you have to spoil everything?

You just need to go round the other side before you start, then you can be a pacific atoll!

That's a brilliant new way to create land!

This of course assumes that you can keep digging in a straight line as gravity changes around you, and dig upwards as you come ou the other side... half of the hole is very deep, and the other half (from the digger's perspective) is very high!

Errr... I think it's wrong. It's reflecting in the equator, but it's forgetting to rotate halfway round the world.

zoom out, it corrects itself then.
If I dug from Edinburgh I'd come out just SE of New Zealand.
