Theoretically speaking, if there was a hole that went through the planet and you jumped down it, it would take you 42 minutes and 12 seconds to fall through to the other side because of the gravity. The maximum speed you can travel at depends on where the tunnel is. This tunnel does not have to grow straight down the middle of the Earth. It can be placed anywhere, and it would still take you the same time to come out of the other end. This is known as a "Gravity train" and while it is not feasible on Earth, it might be on the Moon because it has no molten core, but it would take 53 minutes to travel through it because the gravity is weaker. The people who worked out the information regarding the 42 minutes and 12 seconds were Sir Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, in a series of letters between them.
