What If You Drilled a Hole Through Earth?

Ғылым және технология

You know what might be the best way to travel to the other side of the world? By drilling your way right through the planet. Imagine going from Argentina to China in less than an hour. This would be the journey of a lifetime, if you don't mind riding through molten rock and crushing pressure. What would you see along the way? How long would this journey through Earth take? And how would a gravity train keep you alive? The heat is on, and you're under all sorts of pressure. How deep is the deepest hole drilled in the Earth?

Although some of its features are really consistent, like if you tried to ascend in the abyss, humans die immediately and everyone calls it a curse, while in actuality, the abyss is so deep that the pressure difference gets to them, although they never addressed the heat, I think it would be a problem at lower levels.

Would potentially make a volcano given it would be like poking a hole into a balloon full of water. In that it would create a point of which magma could use to escape. Given that's what volcanos essentially are, their holes in the crust that magma uses to escape to the surface due to the immense pressure that pushes it out of the mantle.

    Drilling a hole that reaches the nucleus or through the Earth would not affect the magnetic field at all. The magnetic field is produced by the rotational movement of the nucleus (Aprox. composed of 80 % iron and 10 % nickel ) and by the rotation of the Earth.That movement works like a giant dynamo that generates the magnetic field. Drilling an insignificant hole or tunnel compare to the size of the earth would not change that movement at all. However we should be worry about magnetic changes when they are inverted between the Poles (North /South). The last magnetic change occurred 780,000 years ago, so the human being has already gone through this dramatic change. But is impossible to predict when is going to be the next magnetic changes and what would be its consequences, but Im´sure it won`t be good

    On a gravity train, you'd experience weightlessness for the entire trip, not just at the centre. At the centre, the train itself would momentarily stop accelerating, but the observer inside wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.

    Another thing about that 42 minute travel time: it remains the same no matter where the ends of your tunnel are. You don't have to drill it through the center; you will travel a shorter distance but at a reduced speed. Let's say you start at Chicago and end in London. As long as there is no friction or air resistance, the time is still 42 minutes. This is because your direction of travel is "diagonal" (or tangential if you prefer) to the Earth's center of gravity, so you accelerate downward more slowly. Then as you pass the midpoint and begin to decelerate toward the surface, you do so more slowly as well, so you come to the surface in the same amount of time as through the center, travelling at a lower velocity. The shallower the tunnel, the slower the velocity and shorter the distance - always resulting in a 42 minute trip.

    The gravity train concept only works for the first half of the trip, when the train is going towards the same direction of gravity. For the second half, the train would go against the gravity in order to reach the other side of the planet, so it would need some kind of engine.

    momentum wouldn't matter because you would begin to slow down after passing the halfway mark, as gravity flips and you stop falling and start climbing. a gravity train would only work until it hit the centre, then you would need propulsion.

    You just have to make a drill capable of cutting through pure Diamond, Iron and Nickel in their pure, solid, and pressurised forms and also withstanding thousands of degrees of extereme heat and the of course the high pressure. So basically, travel will be like a submarine made from materials from Space Shuttles, Tanks, Submarines, mining drills and lots and lots of Uranium layers (heat, chemical and pressure reactions will change its state to weapons grade enriched, then it completly solidifies to what you get in reactors and what makes up the armor of some military tanks.
