Is it possible for people to travel to the center of the planet? Why or why not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because it gets hotter when you go down and the last layer of earth is the core and nobody can resist to go there

The Inner Core At the center of this spherical body of liquid is the inner core, a ball of iron alloy one-third the size of the moon. This metal ball is broiling hot at 11000 degrees Fahrenheit, comparable to the surface of the sun, but it remains solid because of the enormous weight of all the rest of Earth bearing down on it.

Although most geophysicists feel confident that they understand the topography of the inner Earth within a resolution of several hundred miles, it is possible that our assumptions from seismic data could be as inaccurate as were our assumptions about other planets when earthbound telescopes were our only source of observation. “If we have only remote information—the information we get from indirect methods—then we get only part of the picture,” says David Stevenson, a professor of planetary science at Caltech.
