Brainteaser - Earth and Gravity

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-06-15] [Hit: ]
there was a empty space in the center of earth.If we managed to get to that empty space AKA the center of our planet, how would gravity effect us?Earth is pulling us twards its center right? So if we got to the center of Earth how would gravity affect us?1 - I think we would just float in the center of Earth as if we were in space.......
Ok, as you are aware of, we are pulled to Earth by Earths gravitational pull.
In the center of Earth, there is magma.
But lets say, there was a empty space in the center of earth.
If we managed to get to that empty space AKA the center of our planet, how would gravity effect us?

Earth is pulling us twards its center right? So if we got to the center of Earth how would gravity affect us?

My theories:
1 - I think we would just float in the center of Earth as if we were in space.
2 - Gravity wouldnt be any different and we would fall to ground of the empty center.
3 - Gravity would literally pull us apart.

I would like your theories and or if you know the true answer then tell me it!

-
There is no net gravitational force at any point inside a hollow, homogeneous, spherical shell.

Edit: Were the Earth made into a spherical shell 100 km thick there would be a central hollow 59,000 km across. A spelunkronaut anywhere within the shell would float as if in space. Even those touching the wall of the shell 29,500 km from the center.
