Sometimes I let my hair down and lay perpendicular on my bed so my head hangs over upside down in hopes that everything inside of me will become overwhelmed by gravity and drain from my head through each strand of hair into the carpet through the floors of this building into the ground to the center of the earth.

If everything inside of you were overwhelmed by gravity and traveled through each strand of your hair into the carpet through the floors of your building into the ground, and continued on a straight path to its destination and it weren't overwhelmed by anything else (like friction or air resistance), then it would take exactly 42 minutes for it to reach its destination. A straight line from your head to Denver through the Earth? 42 minutes. A straight line from your head to Bethany? Still 42 minutes.
The time is dependent on the speed...not the distance alone. 42 minutes is irrelevant if you don't have a speed. And I'm probably completely missing what you're saying and making a fool out of my self...but that's what I do!
Also Jenny..does it work?

Your mass still has to be taken into account.
It's not about science. And no, it doesn't work.
SCIENCE! I was driving home tonight and I realized how silly it was I was arguing about the speed with which one would travel through the center of the earth. It seemed perfectly fine to put out of mind the whole impossibility of every other aspect...yes, it really wasn't until later I realized how silly it was.
my word verification was PIDDLE!
I miss you and your gravity defying hugs. It's saturday night and we should be spending time together and you could take pictures of us while we talk about inappropriate things.
Your spot within us will never be filled. Promise.
