Could I create a shock on Earth's crust so strong that it would affect the other side of the Earth?

Say, if I detonate a ridiculously large nuke on this side of the Earth, is it possible that the shock wave travels through the center of the Earth and create an earthquake on the other side? If yes, how much of force are we looking at?
