So, I just re-watched the Angel season five episode 15 - "A Hole in the World".
So, the premise was that all the sarcophagus-es of the Old Ones were in the "Deeper Well", which was a hole that went all the way through the world. Spike got on this tangent about how there could be someone standing on the other side of the world staring into the same hole he was.
So, suspending disbelief about the possibility of a hole that goes through the center of the earth...
What would happen if you jumped? Surely at the center, the force of gravity from both surfaces would be equal, and you would hover indefinitely. Well, probably after bouncing back and forth a bit from the velocity of your fall... But /then/ hover indefinitely.
Seems like a great way to get rid of my enemies. *coughs* Hypothetically.
