How to Increase gravity on an extreme level

Really fast spinning, or something along those lines can simulate gravity (a.k.a. artificial gravity). Well, that’s how it is in a bunch of SiFi movies, books, and such.

The seas shall become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked! And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!" - Mephisto
Kurgan X showed me this web comic done with Legos. It pokes fun at all six Star Wars films and I found it to be extremely entertaining.

Eat a lot of McDonalds and KFC while posting in the forums.

I have a Very steep driveway. If I roll out (backwards) in nuetral, gravity takes affect and I have this great "lesser g" moment before I reach terminal velocity. Or apply the brake. It's great to scare people that way.

something i'm sure we'll blindly do in the not too distant future...

That's an odd question, if you continued on at straight from your previous tunnel, I suppose it should be easier, but then you would have the effect of the gravity of the mass all around you. That and you're tunnel would probably collapse due to the gravitational pull of all the matter around you to the matter on the other side of the tunnel. So you would probably die long before you ever reached the centre. And even that would be assuming that over 50% of the total matter contained in the Earth suddenly turned solid (the mantle and core).

IS that right? I know gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 and is a constant. I once rounded it up to ten and got in trouble.

The pull of gravity is not constant, but rather effects all things equally, regardless of mass/volume, if you neglect air resistance. So it's 9.81m/s/s near the surface of the Earth. Though since gravity depends on distances from the center, there's less gravity as you move away from it...
