If you fell into Jupiter's atmosphere would you fall all

If you fell into Jupiters atmosphere would you fall all the way to the core or would the atmosphere get so thick that you would float?......


If you fell into Jupiter's atmosphere would you fall all the way to the core or would the atmosphere get so thick that you would float?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
William say: You would be ripped to shreds and simply be absorbed into the atmosphere, the flesh and fluids of your body vaporized.
-
Donut Tim say: The answer from "Bela" is correct.
-
CarolOklaNola say: You would fall all the way to whatever surface is down there, but NOT all the way to the iron nickel core which Jupiter HAS to have.

Hydrogen has the LOWEST specific GRAVITY. Iron has one of the HIGHEST specific GRAVITIES, NOT densities. Density implies volume.
-
Zardoz say: You would burn up as a meteor before you got into an atmosphere dense enough that it wouldn't be considered a good vacuum for a high school science lab.

An invulnerable person would eventually float.
-
nineteenthly say: The core is solid metallic hydrogen. What was left of you would eventually float but by then you'd've been zonked into your component molecules by the heat generated by your fall.
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: Well, you'd likely die as you fell, due to the ever-increasing pressure... at some point, you'd stop falling - and (if you were still alive), you'd see that the 'atmosphere' was behaving like a liquid.
-
ocularnervosa say: You'd be crushed to death by the pressure just a few miles into the atmosphere.
-
James say: Why don’t you go up there and try it?
-
Francis say: The gravity and heat would destroy you before you fell very far
-
Bela say: Assuming that you were wearing a heatproof and pressure-resistant suit, that you were somehow windproof and not held aloft by high-speed winds, and that your velocity entering Jupiter's atmosphere was all but zero, then the latter. You'd reach an altitude at which your buoyancy would prevent further fall.
