    Funny holiday story about the Dead Sea: My late dad was a avid yatchsman and also a ocean swimmer. He lived in the salt water all his life and often swam with no goggles.
    So we are staying at a hotel in Jordan that was situated right on the Dead Sea shore line. My dad had enough of swimming in fresh water pool. So he went up stairs got himself all prepped to go down to the Dead Sea for a swim and take photos with the family.
    We get to the shore line. As I’m looking away dad runs straight into the Dead Sea water like he would at the beach at home and dives down in the water head first. He stands up super quick screaming and yelling like his in severe pain. I turn around to look over to him and I’m like omg dad! What’s wrong! Are you ok? as he continues screaming in severe pain.
    I keep looking at him as he is clutching his face and eyes wondering what the hell is going on..
    I ask him what’s wrong?
    He yells out “my face! My face! My eyes! They buuuuurn!”
    Turns out the idiot had clean shaved his face and half opened his eyes to see under water in literally the most saltiest place on earth lol
    He had no fresh water to wash off the salt and had to run pretty much blind and his face on fire up a massive flight of stairs to wash himself off.
    It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen and to this day wonder what on earth was he thinking going head first, eyes half open with a clean shaven face into the Dead Sea. It also reminds me that I inherited his genes -_-

    I find it rather strange that you did not talk about Litke Deep, which is technically the true natural deepest point on Earth depending on your definition of this, since it is the closest point to the center of the Earth from the surface
    It is a trench in the Artic Ocean whose depht is about 5,449m (17,881ft) under sea level. Due to the Earth not being a true sphere, but rather an ellipsoid that is more flattened at the poles, it means that the Earth surface at the poles is much closer to the center of the planet than at the equator. Thus, while not being that deep under sea level compared to Marianna Trench, this difference in the Earth surface altitude make Litke Deep 6,351.61km (3,947mi) away from the center of the planet, while Challenger Deep is 14km (9mi) farther away, at about 6,337km (3,938mi); and therefore, the deepest natural point on Earth surface, interpreted as the closest point on Earth surface to the center of the planet
    Basic info about Litke Deep can be found on Wikipedia at :
    - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremes_on_Earth#Lowest_natural_points

      Distance from some form of surface has always seen more use than from the center when it comes to comparing depth/height. Using the Earth's bulge is less accurate as we can't physically measure the distance and have to rely on broader estimates than when measuring from the surface.

      I mean, north Russia isn't exactly known for its earthquakes or any other seismic activity, and the rock composition is favorable for drilling. They've had multiple breaks between drilling attempts too, some lasting many months, and the hole was still open at a depth of around 9000 meters where they typically branched out. Last attempt was in the year 1994. The lowest sections probably collapsed a long time ago but I wouldn't be surprised if the hole was still open part way through, maybe even down to the depth of some 8000-9000 meters. Who knows...
      Also, fun fact: if Kola Borehole was wide enough for a human and you jumped into its deepest part, you'd have over three and a half minutes to reflect on your life choices before you reached the bottom.

    I have to wonder then how do they know what is beyond the 12.2km point? Our school text books had pretty pictures of all the layers and the core. But if never been tested or proven why is it stated as fact what the inner earth looks like.

    • @DoomFinger511

      Its tested by using seismic waves and studying the minerals in volcanoes. Recording how earthquakes travel through the Earth gives data of the interior structure. The material in the upper mantle is known as Peridot and is occasionally expelled by volcanoes.

      @Rob Arthur Well...sorta. It's a complex topic. I'm sure they have extensive catalogues where they measured test locations and dug up core samples to see if their predictions were correct. They must have gotten enough predictions correct to say with confidence what the layers are made of. It's like mapping out areas of the brain: they can't say for certain what certain connections do, but after enough experimentation...they have a pretty good idea. Better then me and you at least.

      @Wheres_my_Dragonator Před 2 lety +1

      Most stars stop at fusing elements at iron. Since a lot of them went supernova and expelled all of these iron out, they're the heaviest elements around. They eventually coalesced into the iron cores, which then attracted the star dust clouds of other elements with their gravity to form planets. The intense pressure from the mantle prevents the inner core from melting. Since the mantle and the core are made up of different materials, and the sun/moon forces the planet to rotate, the core moves enough that it grinds against the mantle and the friction melts the outer most layer of the iron core for it to become "liquid". Iron melts with enough heat on it's own, meanwhile rock requires intense pressure, heat, and some water to turn into magma, which isn't present deep in the mantle so that's why the mantle is just a solid rock.

    07:08 I'm not convinced "only certain species ... are able to survive in this brutal environment" is because of the pressure. I think the lack of nutrients is the limiting factor.
    People go on about the "crushing" pressure, but actually, the animals have their whole bodies inside and out at that pressure; it's not a threat. We humans are being "crushed" by atmospheric pressure of 10,000 kg per square meter (14 pounds per square inch USA) and we don't even notice it.

    The 1960 Mariana Trench mission was a US Navy project, which deserves a shout out since you gave the nationality of just about every other venture. The accomplishment was somewhat comparable to the moon landing. More people had visited the moon than Challenger Deep until the recent missions of Texan Victor Viscovo. The Americans bought the Trieste from Italy and modified it for deeper exploration. The sub was tugged by the USS Wandak and supported by project flagship USS Lewis. American LT Don Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard, son of the original sub designer, made the descent. They were the only men to go there until James Cameron's expedition 52 years later. Walsh's son repeated his father's feat (with much more advanced technology) on one of the Viscovo ventures in 2020 and became the 12th person to reach Challenger Deep, finally tying the number who have walked on the moon.

      The Russians have a saying, "The oil is where the oil is." The implication is that many Russian oil men believe that oil is generated at specific geological locations, by deep subterranean processes, and that what seeps to the surface if effectively replenished over time.
      One of the strange things they found when drilling the Kola borehole was a layer of material, a mixture of hydrogen gas, mud slurry of carbonate rocks, and water. From memory, it was around 6km. This did not prove that oil was created by deep geological processes, but it did prove that the precursors for the creation of oil existed in vast quantities, at high temperatures and pressures.
      The Japanese have taken a keen interest, and seek to drill their own deep holes in the thin plate found in the pacific ocean.
      The holy grail of oil exploration would be to tap into a currently mythical "layer" of oil, from which seemingly endless quantities of oil could be extracted.
      This is all vile heresy to the Church of Western Scarcity, which holds the dinosaur juice theory to be a critical article of faith.

      At a certain point during drilling they lowered some microphones down into the Siberian hole. The staff was shocked about what they heard, there were howling and scream noises from the inside of the hole. They thought this to be the entrance to hell, got scared and refused to drill further. The project came to a grinding halt.
