[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gate of Cadia If you drilled a big enough hole, say the size of australia, the pressure on the magma would force it out on a huge scale, with enough speed to acheive escape velocity. Earth would literally bleed it's guts out and collpase under it's own weight. [/quote] It's pressurized by its own gravity, not by being trapped in the earth. Drilling a big whole would just cause a new crust to form over it. If you instantly removed all but the core of the planet, then this might happen, as there would suddenly be that much less gravitational force holding it in, and it would likely explode under it's own pressure (the core is solid, depite it's huge temperatures, due to the pressure from gravity holding it there.
