    I could’ve mentioned that the mass of all of the earth surrounding the pit would get pushed out into the pit the further toward the core it gets, but after a point, we’re talking about a cartoon.

      there is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, I think a Soviet Union experiment to find out how far they could drill, over 12 KM down (which is not quite through the earth’s crust).

      Not bottomless, but far enough to get that sense of bottomlessness. Not very wide, though.
