What's The LARGEST STRUCTURE In The World? 🤔 czcams.com/video/SihcUMXu-wA/video.html 🏗
Deepest point on Earth is the bottomless pit that is my ex's heart.
Depth of heart is much than rivers and seas depth
Or her box
... and her lawyer is so low he billed you for a telescope so he can see up from the pit into your wallet.
@@sunnyofabish7835 Unlikely. The box gets tied up with all sorts of strings or it gets tossed soon after the wedding ::(
🤣🤣🤣
I can't really get over the fact that the deepest point on Earth that we've actually made ourselves as people is now covered up with a metal Rusty cap and the actual building is decrepit and abandoned......damn
Need someone to dissappear? Chuck them down that hole!
@@rygerety8384 the hole is to small for a human to fit

I swam over the Marina Trench back in 76/77 on a Coast Guard cadet training cruise. 36,000 feet of water baby. Kinda spooky too...
Cool!
I was once over the Mariana trench too......until her mother walked in.
LOL!
Damn, dropped my keys….
I'm joining the coast guard in January. I'm really excited.

When you mentioned the area that fits the height of the Empire State Building, it reminded me of a mine shaft in Jerome Arizona, which supposedly can fit two or three Empire State buildings, and has a glass that you can stand on as your stare into the void below.
i think you are talking about the mineshaft at Audrey headframe park which is 1900 feet a bit taller then the empire state building but its not 2-3 times the height of it
I went to Jerome back in the late 90's and was told about the haunted hotel.
Then one day I found a video on youtube about it.
I didn't know about the mine though, just that Jerome was known for copper mines.
@@bruce2357 Yeah, apparently that whole town is dedicated to haunted stuff. But if you get the chance to go back , there’s this great restaurant called “The Haunted Hamburger.”
@@JohnTheBeanLover I know this is a month old and all, but when they say they can fit three empire state buildings, they mean that you can put three of them in there next to each other. Not that you can stack them vertically.

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
- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litke_Deep
Doesn't fit the narrative.
i watched this video in hope of finding something like that
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.
You say that the Challenger Deep is 14km farther away from the center of the earth, but your numbers say the opposite.
The Wikipedia article on Litke Deep however says Molloy Deep is the deepest trench in the Arctic?
Great video and animation. I think one comparable like empire state building or eiffel tower or whatever you prefer to use, be used across the board. Switching to canyons or mountains or other buildings doesnt give the impact of how much deeper one is vs the other. Just my feedback.
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 -_-
Yeah dont make kids

The crack on the window was NOT the pressure window, but the outwr windiw there to stop impacts on the pressure window. Had it been the pressure window they would have died before they even knew they were dying.
Yeah that's... exactly what they said in the video
Idiotic comment
i actually knew about the Kola Borehole way back when i was a curious kid and did some research for school, but i thought at first it was the Coca-Cola Borehole and they got their Ingredients from there... yes i believed it for an embarrasing year.
Coca cola secret ingredient, heated minerals
.... need a hug?
@@ProtoMekka Pepsi uses water from the Challenger Deep, whereas Coca Cola uses heated minerals from the Kola Borehole.
Which is the superior drink now?!
Wish they would continue with the project now. We probably have the technology to keep going deeper now. Would be cool to see what other surprises it has in store considering the abundance of surprises it has already presented the scientific community with.
We might see
You'd need to find a really good excuse to do it again because it's gonna be expensive.
High temperature isn't the only challenge at that depth but Rocks behave more like liquid than Solid which makes boring really difficult.
@@90enemies So far the excuse has been curiosity. Like with space and space satellites and mars rovers. Trying to figure out how to drill through such rock could help us out with something else in the future. There is always knowledge to be gained from such ventures i believe.
There is more to it as they tried to drop microphone in it and heard people scream like a pit of hell, also some Claim that demonic things came out of it, so they just abandoned it.
@@tikfamily7925 I know about that but its just superstition lol. The earth's crust is constantly moving and shifting. And the deeper you go, the denser the materials in the ground are and since you have 12 km of this hole, it's not surprising that you hear all that creeking echo all the way up.
Imagine a world in which children could choose to watch and learn from the 'Debunked' videos instead of being forced to sit through unenthusiastic delivery of 45-minute-long monologues given by their teachers.. No one would ever skip school.

How many deep hole videos are you watching
Easily one of the coolest videos I've seen this year
Thanks so much!
I got that sinking feeling...
Some of the comments and sentiments are really deep and almost concerning.

There's a "your mom" joke to be made somewhere around here.
Funny enough I was just thinking about that lmao XD

Already knew most of this. I've been watching too much youtube.
Congrats for 500 K.🎉🎉🎉
It's ironic that the kola borehole, sg-3 was the same hole they claimed to hear the screams of the torture souls in hell.
open up the hole and drop a camera, mic, and thermometer and see if they truly found hell
Great vids.
Subbed and I'll be sorting through them all. ✌😎
They had to stop drilling on the Kola Borehole because at that depth the heat and pressure made the rock sorta flow like putty so there was no way to keep it cleared.
Since the Kola Borehole has been capped for years how do we know if it is still open? I think it likely that geological pressures closed the hole shortly after the drill site was abandoned.
We don't know. But we know it was achieved. I would say video should not be understood as "right now" but rather as "ever in history"
They probably used some kind of fluid to keep the hole. Just like it is done in oil drillings.
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.
@@B3RyL imaginen falling but the thing that kills you isnt falling or hitting the ground, but its the heat that is slowly rising to 180 degrees and cooks you alive before you even reach the bottom
@@stonksrgud7645 it would take about 50 seconds to reach the bottom in a freefall, doubt thats long enough to die from the heat (and since the last 4KM takes about 9 seconds, you would definitely die from the impact, not by boiling alive)

Are you talking about this system or under this system? Looks amazing
@@MThomasB not correct
wrong ..!!!!
Speaking of sea level, that's where Everest gets its claim to fame. But measured from the center of the planet, if you want to get closest to the stars, head to Ecuador.
Mt. Chimborazo's peak is over 7,000 feet further into space than Everest due to the bulge at the equator.
Mauna Kea is the world' "tallest" mountain measured from its base, which is below sea level.
You're confusing distance from the Earth's center with closeness to space.
Chimborazo is the farthest from the center of the Earth, but that doesn't make it closer to space than Mount Everest. The Earth's solid surface has an equatorial bulge, but so does the atmosphere (lucky for us, because it's so thin that if it didn't have an equatorial bulge, there would be no air to breathe at the equator).
@@gabrielrockman Well noted, I stand corrected.
I erroneously added "farthest into space". But still in all, to get as far away from the Earth's center while still on terra firma, head to Ecuador.
I wonder how many climbers would have skipped their Everest trip had they known that!
Before watching I'm 95% sure he's gonna talk about the Kola Superdeep Borehole, which goes down 12 km and was dug by the russians
I got that sinking feeling...
It's always a good day when debunked posts a video!
Wow, how informed am I! Now I got something to talk about when lockdown finishes.

What's The TALLEST Man-Made STRUCTURE To Have Ever Existed on EARTH? czcams.com/video/nx1k6Pznb34/video.html
Spoiler it’s the core
Most likely a ocean oil rig.
The pile of debt I am in over the ex wife and her divorce lawyer and his incredible eye for detail.
your video is wrong , and I'm going to debunk it right now , the deepest point on earth is at the center of it's core ..
@@tomjones2121 wonder where you got that comment..
Another great video!😁
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.
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.
As DoomFingers stated, they use multiple seismographs to measure the delay from one device to another, and with complex math, that tells them about the density and rough information about composition of the earth.
@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.
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.
I believe that the magnetic and electric fields created by the Earth's core also give us an insight into its composition.
I love the fact that the deepest point on earth has the equivalent of "just put a rug over it"
So damn human
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.
Nice 👍🏼
a Very interesting video, thank you... :-)

An excellent presenter, superb graphics and a monumental video! Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! What other topics would you like us to cover?
When people say the deepest point on earth while talking about the Mariana Trench...they are talking about the deepest NATURALLY formed spot, not manmade one. They are taking a common sense bit of conversation and making it something it's not. Nobody is making a mistake, there are talking about different things.
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.
Okay, so you travel to the Mariana trench and get out of the submersible then, just make sure you have plenty of nutrient-rich food and you'll be fine!
@@ThEuNbEaTeN1994 I surely would be fine, given slow enough pressure change, and enough nutrients to wait that out!
@@ThEuNbEaTeN1994 Make sure to stop skipping classes. You really didn't understand what he said.
Hahah
@@flamencoprof i can give you a whole life time to adapt slowly to.....20,000 lbs of pressure lol. Classes are not needed here. You would be crushed.
For some reason it reminds me of the movie Core 2003 I know it didn’t do so well but it kinda reminds me of it and I find this stuff fascinating

How do humans know that there are Mantle, Outer core, and Inner core when humans can only reach 7.5 miles deep?
Hawaiian islands exist because there is a hole in mantle that burns up the crust above it as the crust drifts, as plates are know to do.
Seismology
Because the mantle, outer core, and inner core have effects that can be observed outside of their actual location.
That's like asking how we can know that there's a thunderstorm if we haven't been hit by lightning.
Can you take one object to compare the heights/depths? Like...in one part you compare with stacked Burj Khalifa towers, the other with Chrysler building, and other with mountains...just pick one...or use all of them on each comparison.

Very intresting topics .
Amazing the study of the deepest point of.
Jesus, we've not even gone 'that deep' comparatively speaking and the ambient temp is hot enough to roast a chicken.
Humans can’t go out far or in either.
soviet union : "anyway, we got some money to spent, got any ideas?"
that one guy : "let's dig a hole so deep because why not"
Better than making up geology cross sections of the earth in books and giving it to schools and just calling it science.
Human scale in the animations would be nice, nice vid anyway 👍🏼
Worth noting is that the Challenger Deep will not be the deepest point forever. The next time the Mariana Trench ruptures in that spot, the slip will cover the entire canyon, and another trench will claim the title of deepest point in the ocean.
So why was the Soviet borehole sight "partially destroyed"? I want that story.
It’s probably just wear from extreme conditions and decades of being abandoned
Coz something came up and fucked the building up coz they woke it and pissed it right off lol
I am proud of my country and at the same time very saddened that we have sunk to the bottom, great discoveries and research in the field of geography, space, nuclear science, weapons, geology and a unique political system have turned to cinder, and a poisoned phoenix has appeared in its ashes, insatiable and devouring all the riches accumulated by a great country

Just curious, if we can’t even dig through the first layer of the earths crust, how do we know we are running out of fossil fuels ? I mean we can’t even dig through the first layer. It seems a bit of a stretch when people talk about how we are going to run out of coal or oil. Perhaps we may but not for thousands of years
Fossil fuels come from organic material. You're not going to find anything that was alive that deep.
@@andrewscott7728 how do we know that if we can’t dig that deep ? Not being an ass I genuinely don’t know this stuff
@@andrewscott7728 and what about coal and such ? How deep does that go ?
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.
Throughout this whole video I was thinking that Soviet Bore hole! How come they havent mentioned that yet? It was massive. Getting ready for a nice bit of 'Well actually debunked I think you'll find...."

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.
This is a more realistic explanation than the high temperatures, isn't it?
His voice sounds really nice and fits really well for this video
Nice vid, ty. Those are the known deepest points. Mel's hole has an unkown depth.
I have a stupid question\idea.
So we count Mariana trench which is submerged underwater. Why not count holes submerged in other liquids?
Wouldn't an active volcano be the deepest (natural) hole thus? :)
"No, no. He's got a point."
@@NirousPlayers we are talking about the deepest point "on" earth , volcanic holes go far beyond any where we can call the Earth's surface
Water is a liquid that we can pass through (with vehicles, not our bodies), even at extremely high pressures found at the bottom of the ocean. We currently do not have any technology capable of passing through many kilometers deep of lava.
Hello "Debunked", what software have you used to create the sea bed and continental shelf topography @0:46 ? Thank you very much!
Great vid
Russia: You may have gone to the moon but do you have HOLE
Another thing to ponder: the earth, including Everest and Challenger, is smoother than most billiard balls...
People think of 6 miles deep as crazy amount of distance, but it's only as deep as the next town over is far away.
That's only if you could hold the entire Earth in your hand like a queue ball. Similarly, if you could do that, you could also wipe all of the Earth's ocean water off with a hand towel.
@Sewan & Sawen Creations sometimes it's better to not hit the send button
hey vsauce
Only partially true. Vsauce did an episode on it. Highly entertaining id recommend giving it a look.
One phrase you should have Incorporated into the video is "that we know of" it's very likely that we will find more deeper naturally occurring depths
That's wrong. We already know everything there is to know about science. Read a book.
@wang cool story bro.
If the humidity in Mponeng can exceed 95%, do the miners have to work when it does? The Naica silver mine in Mexico used to reach 90-95% and researchers could only spend 10 minutes in there before they started to drown. Even with air conditioning packs and respirators they could only spend ten minutes in Naica without risking drowning. How do the Mponeng miners deal with that?
- With the hydraulic displacement pressure of waters progressive depth, theoretical there should be no limit to the depth into the earths crust in some place in the oceans off the continental shelfs.
So what would happen if we channeled water from the mediterranean to the dead sea? Like just fill the whole region up as much as we can until water level reaches sea level.
It would change the salinity of the dead sea which likely would have a chain reaction of effects.
It would dilute the salinity of the dead sea but unless it had a steady feed of water, would eventually evaporate and return back to the way it was.
this vid was really well done actually
Hey cliff stop lying to everyone here please, thanks
@@ChicagoMike85 ??????
ELON get to work drilling down. If you could get a hole deep enough to then drop in a heat-exchanger, then you can have some large scale use of geothermal heat that doesnt rely on you being near a volcanic zone.
It is already been done in various locations. The idea is to pump water through deep underground to power a turbine from steam. It is cool on paper, but funnily, it is not an unexsaustable resource. After few years of pumping underground rock cools down, so you gotta wait few years untill it is hot again.
