    I am a well driller in Michigan.
    While drilling a well, we had an issue.
    We hit something hard and it bounced our bit.
    We continued to drill the spot as we where over 120 feet down already.
    It took us 1 hour to drill 11 inches.
    As we continued after 12 inches we just about lost our bit and rods.(roughly $90,000 worth of equipment)
    We broke threw what was stopping us and our rods dropped 10 feet before we could stop it.
    We added more rods and continued.
    As we continued to drill and now previous issue happened again.
    As we drilled, the stuff that came up.
    We looked at it and what we had drilled into was crystal fragments.
    We determined that we drilled into a giant amethyst agate.
    The well hole ended up being 160 feet deep.

    If you tried to fall through the earth, it would take you literally an infinite amount of time. Assuming your invincible to the elements present at the core of the earth, by the time you reached the center, both forces of gravity would be keeping you in a state of suspension

    • @beaku3
      @beaku3 Před 2 lety

      No it would not. Gravity decreases linearly as you go down, therefore you get a Simple Harmonic Motion. Quite similar to a spring oscillation. So if you jump down a tunnel that goes across earth, you'll accelerate til you reach centre (where there's 0 gravity) then you'll be pulled back and slow down, till you reach 0 velocity at the other end and fall back down again. So you'll oscillate infinitely and not get suspended in centre.

      By a strange coincidence it's also the Thai word for a deep well or a waterhole. บ่อ It's a coincidence as it's derived from the original Tai language, not a later loanword or Indo-European crossover via Sanskrit or Persian. I guess people just naturally looked at deep holes in the past and said, "Bor".

      The current idea based off of what you are talking about is to locate pockets (like caves)closer to the surface and set up a thermal hydraulic power production facility there. There are several pockets deep enough to be used that reach the Temps needed to turn water into steam under the right pressure. It's a good idea and one I hope to see before too long because it's completely passive to the heating and cooling of the planet (weather) and has zero ecological risk. If we are able to automate the process it could have substantially lower risk to employees and be one of the safest most cost effective environmentally friendly ways to produce electricity.... that was theorized in the 1950s.

    At extreme depths and temperatures rock starts to behave in very strange ways. It's not liquid at the depths they drilled to, but it does begin to act a bit like one. Normally rock is quite brittle and will fracture readily under a drill bit. As you go deeper and deeper, it stops shattering and starts sloughing off more and more. This can cause real problems for a bit that's not designed specifically for softer rock.

      @@fruitkid4759 It's partially a materials problem and partially one of cost.
      Do we have materials capable of effectively dealing with that regime? Maybe. But the cost of drilling a hole that deep is immense and is unlikely to yield much useful information.
      Just to give a little scale, costs ramp up significantly as you drill deeper. Drilling 5,000ft deep doesn't cost 1000x as much as drilling 5ft deep. I used to work in oil and gas and the wells we worked on (I was frac, not drilling) were about a mile deep. Let's say 5,000ft for simplicity. Kola was about 23,000ft deep, so about 4.5x deeper. I can't independently confirm this but I was told once that each well we worked on cost about $11m to drill. When you consider that there's much more infrastructure involved in drilling a much deeper hole, it's not hard to let your mind run about what it would cost to drill that deep.
      I found a CNN Business article from 2012 that talks about a plan to drill 6km (about a kilometer shallower than Kola) that had a budget of $1B.
      So while there's probably a significant technical challenge to drilling that deep, it's also a question of cost vs. reward. We don't stand to gain a great deal by drilling that deep into the ground that we can't already learn from active volcanoes and other geologic features.

      @@fruitkid4759 Also, I don't recall if it's mentioned in the video (I'm sure it is) because it's been a minute since I watched it, but the ground gets hotter the further down you go, and the gradient isn't as linear as we usually assume. For shallower holes like O&G deals with the difference doesn't matter all that much, but even tenths of a degree per 100ft matter a *lot* when you're drilling as deep as we're talking about here. The overlap between materials capable of handling that temperature and materials capable of performing that task is likely to be quite small.

      @@fruitkid4759 The exact geophysics are way beyond my knowledge level, but you can learn a lot through the study of seismic waves. The two main kinds (P-waves and S-waves) travel differently through different materials so by precisely reading the timing of their arrival at different locations we can get a pretty clear picture of what's happening. It's similar in principle to echolocation.
      I'm sure there are other tools but that's the main one I'm aware of. Even on the surface we can "see" deep into/across the planet by having a large network of stations that measure the same waves at different times and locations and then comparing those readings to each other. You can build a picture from that data to understand what happened between the creation of the wave (from, say, an earthquake) to the point that you actually sensed the wave yourself and then say, "Ok, there must be this kind of material or this structure underneath us." It's super interesting and I highly recommend looking into it more.

      His name is literally a pun on 42, so it's obvious that it will sound the same when he says it (and in case you don't know why, the number "42" is unofficially regarded as "the meaning of life").

      ​@@csibesz07 That is exactly my thinking. Encouraging or allowing the existence of something designed to misinform you, especially for monetary gain, should be illegal by law. So many people for example, look past the flat earthers because they know they're crazy, but when those people continue to spread their bullshit, it has a tendency to convince A LOT of other dumb people to believe it... This can and will have catastrophic results on society.
      You could absolutely say the same about the show Ancient Aliens or the Book/movie "The Secret"; everything they claim on the show Ancient Aliens for example that is alien related, is 100% a lie, and that is in no way an exaggeration. They get away with making these boldly false claims, because a bulk of the people watching have no idea about the history or facts concerning the specific culture or topics being discussed. For people who want to know more about the facts concerning ancient aliens, please visit the provided link and watch the video on that page. www.ancientaliensdebunked.com/
      When it comes to the book, "The Secret" also a Show on Netflix, the book encourages the reader to will things into existence; that if you want something, anything... all you have to do is focus your mind on it and convince yourself that you already have it...then manifest destiny will just make it happen for you... Most of these pathetic new-age self-help books are built on zero grounds, often using or claiming ties to history and influential people, but its all bullshit with absolutely no truth behind it, all created to give false credibility to their lies. This should be illegal without question, because its directly and intentionally defrauding people who are depressed or who are "looking for help". The people reading these books don't care about looking through additional history books to fact check a bunch of claims, they're looking for a quick simple solution to their problem without directly facing what makes them unhappy, or taking any actions to change it...
      By all respects, The Secret encourages you pick up your chin, but doesn't guide you to do anything else to achieve your dream aside from, "see yourself with it, and you'll eventually have it"... Which to anyone who's actually worked hard for something, whether it be your actual job to earn a paycheck, a job interview, your school degree ect, we know that these things were not free... Seeing yourself with that degree before you have it is fine, but Hard work is what gets you there, not sitting on your ass wishing for it to happen and it just falls from the sky. This thinking is mega damaging because it encourages people to feel entitled just because they want it badly enough without working for the end goal to actually earn or deserve it.
      Sorry for the long reply btw, your comment just rang true to me, and I had to express my opinion. There is just way to much of this happening today, where people bend facts to tell a lie, and its honestly a large part of whats destroying society... that is aside from COVID, Race, Politics and all those other evils of course..
