If you could travel to he center of the Earth, you'd be weightless.

Kinda hard to wrap your head around what would actually happen. I don't agree you'd be weightless. The generally accepted science is that inside a black hole, your weight would be infinite. All that fluid pressing down on you in the center of the earth would presumably make you heavier.

How can there be a "center of the Earth" if the world is flat?

When I say travel down to the center of the earth I mean like in a tunnel without all the matter on top of you. Otherwise you'd be correct.

The air would still be on top of you.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to say.

Even weightless, the OT will still call you fat.

Regarding your body as a whole near-weightless is a better term but weightless is rarely used with perfect precision.

Not quite, but close. There is a point in the earth at which you would be weightless. If you went to the exact center of mass of the earth you would still have a weight vector, likely pointed at the sun.
