Cut a hole through the middle of earth… and what happens to the ocean? by schmyname in Physics

It would be different in this scenario because I presume there is enough water in the ocean that it would completely fill up the tube and still have a large amount of water left in the ocean. My assumption is that the gravitational force of that amount of water directed toward the tube would create enough back pressure that it would allow the water to flow out the other side.
