It would almost certainly hit the sides.
even if the hole was 1,000 feet across?

Yes. I asked Eotvos and he said "Yep".

okay, so it WILL have contact with the side...won't that result in friction, affecting speed/acceleration, and possibly melting the hammer, as the temperature at the center is as I understand it more than 10,000 degrees F...
also, wouldn't the temperature of the sides also affect air pressure significantly?
Okay, never mind...I'm not sure I could comprehend anything more on this, anyway...

It would hit the sides. How much damage? I don't know. We have a magic tube after all. Perhaps the hammer will survive. Since the sides are stationary (we hope!!
) they cannot contribute to pressure.Air pressure is easy to understand once you know what it is. You are merely supporting the weight of the air above you. That is what air pressure is. What I wish I could figure out is how much pressure before the Ideal Gas Law fails.
SIMPLE mayhem! Simple!Hey! You were the one that wanted mayhem.

Hot gases expand...hot air rises...and rises the most at the seat of government...oh, wait...
