  • This is the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth. It stretches 11km (7 mi) down below sea level. But what if we made it even deeper? Get a giant drill because we're about to dig a hole in one of the most hostile environments on the planet. Has anyone attempted to do this before? What kind of nasty conditions would you be stepping into? Could you drill all the way to the Earth's core? What will this hostile environment be like?

    Drilling a hole at the bottom of the Mariana Trench would be an extremely difficult and expensive undertaking, and it is not currently being proposed or planned by any organization. However, if it were to be attempted, it would likely have significant environmental impacts due to the unique and fragile ecosystem of the trench. Additionally, there could be geological risks associated with drilling at such extreme depths, such as the release of gases or destabilization of the seafloor. It is also important to consider the potential impact on the scientific research and understanding of the trench.

    imagine you and your whole team/crew drilled the mariana trench and right after you drilled it somebody removes your VR and said "unfortunately you have been permanently banned from the simulation for trying to destroy the its world" and obviously you're so shocked and you just looked at the personel dead in the eye and then you looked around and see thousands or millions of people wearing VR and then you realized that all of it was just a simulation and all the people youve met and the good and bad things happened is just a part of it and none of it was real .

    It is possible to drill in mariana trench. Usa vs soviet Union drilling down into the earth is a perfect example. Russians went through the crust and achieved 13km which is deeper then Mariana. And usa actually drilled through the water

      @mosesagofure4567 Před 2 lety

      Water only boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure. The more the pressure, the higher the boiling point. So, water can even get to 200°C without boiling.

    You wouldn't get to the bottom first then drill....you would drill from the ocean surface also you couldn't drill to the core because it would melt any type of steal we have available to us. You wouldn't even be able to get close. The pressure itself would collapse the drill pipe
