If you carved a hollow sphere roughly the size of a small house at the very center of the earth could you walk

Yes, there would be a very small gravity, pulling outward from the sphere. I dont know the value, but it probably would be so small that it is not possible to walk, as walking requires a certain minimum gravity.......
all of the way around the edge of the sphere without falling down? Please explain the reason for your answer.
thanks, Fergus

skipping heat and pressure.

Yes, there would be a very small gravity, pulling outward from the sphere. I don't know the value, but it probably would be so small that it is not possible to walk, as walking requires a certain minimum gravity. Your steps, or attempts at steps, would propel you upwards to the center of the sphere and to the other side.

no, because if the heat didnt kill you the pressure sure as he11 would. besides, drilling the hole to carve said hollow space into the earth would relaase a catastrophic explosion of lava and gas from within the planet most likely killing every living thing on earth.

No, first of all because it's way too hot. And if you don't want to count that, the pressure down there wouldn't let you walk either. If you don't count either of those, then well gravity wouldn't work and i can't answer your question...
