Falling Through the Center of a Non-Uniform Density Earth - Python Simulation

Explore the physics of falling through the Earth's center in this 23-minute video tutorial by Dot Physics. Compare the time it takes to orbit the Earth versus falling through a tunnel passing through its center. Discover why, in a uniform density Earth model, both scenarios take the same amount of time. Delve into a more sophisticated non-uniform density model in 3D using Python. Access the provided Python code to experiment with the model yourself. For those interested in building an even more accurate model, examine the Wikipedia plot of Earth's changing density. Gain insights into complex physics concepts and computational modeling techniques through this engaging and informative tutorial.
