The deepest hole ever dug was in Russia. I believe it's just over 7 miles deep. This is what we know about the earth.  So if the deepest hole ever dug doesn't even pass through the first layer. How do we know what other layers are there and how thick they are? |

The right off the top of my head answer is by bouncing, uh rays through and see how they react. Because we know how certain rays react when they meet intrusions and such.
Pick up "A Brief History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Byrson. It does answer this, I'm just too many beers in to give you a clear answer.
He also talks about this hole you're talking about and the States attempts to dig a hole too.

I remember hearing something about using sound waves, with the sound moving faster or slower depending on what materials it goes through. |

NASA keeps it hush-hush...but we blew up Venus in 1974 and studied the remains to get that diagram.

I believe it starts getting hot, the deeper you go, so I don't think we can travel down all that far really.
