+Smoke Fumus Actually if you fell through a hole that was designed to not feel the temperature of the core of the world, you would fall through but then stop and then start falling back through and then do the same thing again but the distances would get shorter, imagine a swing that isn't being provided with any force once it's pushed, it will keep going back and forth for shorter and shorter distances until it stops in the center, the same thing would happen to you.

Yes, that was nice to hear that a fear of heights isn't entirely irrational. Previous to this I thought my (extreme) acrophobia only has to do with the incident when I fell off a swing when I was about 5 years old. Stupidly I studied art history, where I had to go up (and even worse down) several spiral staircases (in church spires and castles) and the so-called "Death Stairs" of a concentration camp (which I admittedly in the end crawled up on all fours).

I guess I must have acquired vertigo, and not a fear of heights. I never knew what vertigo was until about age 40, no matter the height. (When I was young, I toured the highest observation level of the Empire State building with no vertigo.) The first vertigo was a sudden shock. I believed I must be having a stroke. As I staggered I could hardly keep from falling, but the feeling vanished when I turned away from a second story window, and came back when the window came into my peripheral vision. I have never had vertigo if I were standing at a height lower than 10 feet. So no vertigo standing on the top of a 6 foot step ladder. If I look directly ahead at a height, the vertigo is reduced from seeing the height in my peripheral vision, and is tolerable. Vertigo does not increase looking down. I don't feel afraid, everything just looks like it is spinning, so I can't balance.

I have another theory. Maybe it's all about self trust or self control. We fear falling from great heights because we have all done it before.... in our dreams. We don't know why we jumped or fell in these dreams-but we remember the fear/feeling. Maybe on a sub-conscious level we don't entirely trust ourselves not to do it again in real life.

I would have said the hardness is more towards the structure of the carbon atoms, in the giant tetrahedral structure, than the covalent bonds. The covalent bonds more come in to play in heating. That is at least my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong. Hardness is an ambiguous term, since there are a plethora of definitions for that category. Such as toughness, hardness, strength (torsional, compressional) etc.
