“Everyone at some point in our lives, has wanted to dig to the center of the earth.” The fact that this is his most viewed video only enforces this point.

What about the idea that oil is actually abiotic and produced by deep pressures in the Earth rather than fossils? Many geo-scientists have stated this. It's why wells that run dry fill up again
I really liked the way how you depicted the distance in terms of two countries compared to how much we have covered. This really shows that you know people (atleast me) are not good enough in assuming how much we have done.
If you dropped a golf ball (for example) down a tunnel that went all the way through the earth, in a straight line, would it slow down as it approached the earth's centre (since beyond that point it would be travelling upwards)? Or would it acquire enough momentum as it fell to carry it through the centre of the earth? At what point would it slow down? And where would it finally come to rest? The earth's centre of gravity is approximately 40 km from the centre of the earth in the direction of the moon. Is this where the ball would eventually come to rest? And would it float in mid air, given that the force (or pull) of gravity would be equal on all sides?
Damn, best comment! I'm thinking after terminal velocity was reached, continuing toward the centre it would actually slow as it approached the center then cruise past, and finally slow to a stop and reverse, like a pendulum untill it finally rested in the middle
@@davalleyguy5020 I remember this question in school. It will maintain terminal velocity until it reaches the core, then it begins to slow down and begin a pendulum past the core. Then eventually coming to a rest.
@@HenryDoohickeyII And without any air resistance or other means of friction, it would speed up until reaching the center (though the *acceleration* would decrease the whole time), at the center it would have its maximum speed, and then it would have precisely enough kinetic energy to travel up the shaft and come to a stop for a moment exactly at the opposite surface point. (Again with more assumptions needed, this time at least of a perfectly round planet.)

I was digging a knee-length hole at the beach when I was younger, and water started coming out, people actually came to look at it. That and the 43.3M views shows that people really like the concept of digging holes.
You ca also dig lateral holes for example the Gothard-tunnel or the Loetschental-tunnel which is 3000 meters beneath the top of the mountain, and they are 30 km long and for this reason much deeper than the « deepest » road tunnel in Norway (300m).
this video is insanely nostalgic, i used to have some weird interests but sometimes i refind this and it reminds me of fun times when i was younger and curious :)
Maybe because when you fall, the gravity drops you at high speed. Digging down has nothing to do with gravity. When you dig a hole, you're holding the handle. The gravity is keeping you on the ground. But when you fall, the gravity is pulling you down with high force. So that's why.
interestingly, if we were to decide to build downwards instead of upwards we could effectively put a geothermic energy instalation at the lowest levels able to power not just the residence but likely an entire cityblock, central heating would also be no problem offcourse, you could even use it for desalination purposes, letting salt water drive the system and catching the steam at the top, remineralise it to drinkwater conditions and voila, you could in addition utilise a tradition steam turbine with sterling engines which could hug a massive tank of the desalinated water on top and the lowest point of the system down below to have an even greater temperature difference than if the cool side were just the surface temperature above maybe it's just wishfull thinking but the idea clearly beats "the line" in both purpose and plausability
Are you playing on a mod? The max height of a Minecraft World is only 255 Meters in vanilla, but this cave you have found goes down to around 600 meters.
these are the deepest holes dug so far, but how far could we really dig if like you said, it's our main focus and we use all money and technology available for it
@@wisemoldsthoughts2119 that was 30 years ago and it seems that they stoped drilling due to lack of funds more than a technical issue... the answer would be a theorical number and explanation on how deep could we dig a hole if "humanity decided that digging a hole was the number 1 objective for our species" (top materials, trillions on funds and the best professionals). Question definitively not answered.
It’s interesting that there is no access to the sun underground yet it gets hotter the deeper you dig. We’ll never reach the center because it’ll get too hot. I’m sure hell is in the middle 👀
it should really be an invitation to push our boundaries, and in fact overcoming problems is what advances civilisations as the methods and technologies used and the discoveries made would carry over in advancements in other sectors of human endeavor, for instance creating equipment that can effectively withstand the heat and pressure at these depths would carry over into things like space exploration (for instance materials for suits and verhicles)
About 2800 km, at that depth there's a temperature of around 3000 Kelvin, so Tungsten could still work to build with, but lower than that and even tungsten melts. (It's not a sharp limit, just an approximation). The theoretical limit is all the way through if we just get rid of that pesky heat melting everything, like let's say we cool the earths core down completely, I mean, what has that hot core ever done for us except create the magnetic field around the earth protecting us from the suns radiation stripping away our atmosphere. Who needs an atmosphere when you have a spaceship! Get rid of it I say! Then finally we can have our hole all the way through an we can drive spaceships through the planet all day without any stupid dirt stopping us! You could possibly build some sort of plasma container around your tunnel by instead of cooling the surrounding magma you super heat it into a plasma and then contain it with a super strong magnetic field, but that would require like... tons of energy, and magnetic fields stronger than anything we can make today.
Yep. Everybody wants to dig a hole that deep. My grandma would go on and on about it as well as everyone I know. And as the narrator states it's a problem that no one has done this yet.
I honestly think we should try, go to a desolate desert or tundra section off a massive area and start digging down as if we are building a quarry or an open air mine, but at an absolutely massive scale, in effect an inverted piramid of sorts, just more stable and allows the hole to be much wider, the goal should be to just go all in on this, really try to get as deep as possible all the while investigating the minerals and soil as we go until we reach our limit, likely due to the extreme heat at which point we start designing equipment that let's us go deeper still, ever further who knows maybe it would open up possibilities for geothermal energy and desalination if you use seawater for the steam
He answers the question in 2 ways explaining that they weren't able to drill deeper because the heat would not allow it, and also giving the full depth of the earths crust. Our current technology won't allow us to drill any deeper. Future technology may allow us to go deeper, but we wont ever get further than the crust.
So you're assuming the Soviet's several decades old drilling tech is the most advanced humanity could manage today in 2017? That's ridiculous. - No the question was never answered.
He also set the premise that if our sole purpose on this planet is to dig as deep as we can how far could we have dug? He didnt aswer it and just put a bunch of random depths that the internet already has thousands of videoes on.
So the centre of the earth is 6000 Celsius, assuming liquid nitrogen (or something better) would work at that point and we could find something that wouldn't melt before we cool it or crack while cooling it, and that we could also drill through the earths crust, then we'd probably have a small chance of getting there....
Kieran Brown but i suppose we could dig to the other side if we have a propulsion really, really, really, really strong, it has to be constant so it can dig through the Earth and resist the immense gravity, which i don't think it would be possible for humans
It’s interesting to see that his top five most popular videos had 25mill+ views and this being at 47 million views which is only a number of people can dream of which is fascinating.
Drilling as deep holes as they did in Russia might be expensive... but if you think about it, at least as far as heating goes... this would actually in the long run be pretty cheap. We already drill down to get heating for houses... and that isn't all that far. So if we drilled as far as they did in Russia, we should in theory be able to make use of that energy/heat to heat much much larger areas. I'd imagine one or two such holes should be able to provide enough heat for a small city/town. Especially if we can suck up that hot air with pumps.
We currently don't have the technological capability to dig that far down and even if we did no human could survive the pressure and temperatures at those extreme depths. I would also suppose that at that temperature and atmospheric pressure found in the depth would be an engineering nightmare. New alloys and technology would need to be invented to even attempt it. He DID answer the question and "unknown" is an acceptable answer.
Spelunking Tips: Don’t dig straight up or down, since everyone knows that this method is a bad idea, especially in video games such as Minecraft, since you could run into potential hazards that could lurk above and/or below the surface such as electrical lines, irrigation and sewage systems, gas pipes, underground caves (especially the ones that are super huge and reach hundreds or thousands of feet in depth), and bodies of water, lava, or even radioactive waste.

When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement.

And uses the unit of an "entire phone call" to emphasize. Lmao terrible reference point
while thinking about what you have done.
how do they know how long it would take a human to hit the ground at that depth? do they just push someone or something
@Russian Occupant I don't know what kind of 8th grade you had, but fucking hell, you had it rough.
I'd love to imagine you fall down into a hole and call an expert of that hole about what to do. Would be quite an akward conversation.

Great Graphics; loved the video.
I honestly think we should try, go to a desolate desert or tundra section off a massive area and start digging down as if we are building a quarry or an open air mine, but at an absolutely massive scale, in effect an inverted piramid of sorts, just more stable and allows the hole to be much wider, the goal should be to just go all in on this, really try to get as deep as possible all the while investigating the minerals and soil as we go until we reach our limit, likely due to the extreme heat at which point we start designing equipment that let's us go deeper still, ever further
who knows maybe it would open up possibilities for geothermal energy and desalination if you use seawater for the steam
You didn't answer the question.
Yes he did.
Where did he answer the question?
He answers the question in 2 ways explaining that they weren't able to drill deeper because the heat would not allow it, and also giving the full depth of the earths crust. Our current technology won't allow us to drill any deeper. Future technology may allow us to go deeper, but we wont ever get further than the crust.
So you're assuming the Soviet's several decades old drilling tech is the most advanced humanity could manage today in 2017? That's ridiculous. - No the question was never answered.
He also set the premise that if our sole purpose on this planet is to dig as deep as we can how far could we have dug?
He didnt aswer it and just put a bunch of random depths that the internet already has thousands of videoes on.
You never answered the question.
How deep can we possibly dig.
So the centre of the earth is 6000 Celsius, assuming liquid nitrogen (or something better) would work at that point and we could find something that wouldn't melt before we cool it or crack while cooling it, and that we could also drill through the earths crust, then we'd probably have a small chance of getting there....
Kieran Brown but we can only get to the core because gravity
Kieran Brown but i suppose we could dig to the other side if we have a propulsion really, really, really, really strong, it has to be constant so it can dig through the Earth and resist the immense gravity, which i don't think it would be possible for humans
Patsy Sparks thanks, i guess...?
not far cause it gets to hot idiot, its not that hard to understand, did you even watch the videos?
It’s interesting to see that his top five most popular videos had 25mill+ views and this being at 47 million views which is only a number of people can dream of which is fascinating.
Drilling as deep holes as they did in Russia might be expensive... but if you think about it, at least as far as heating goes... this would actually in the long run be pretty cheap. We already drill down to get heating for houses... and that isn't all that far. So if we drilled as far as they did in Russia, we should in theory be able to make use of that energy/heat to heat much much larger areas. I'd imagine one or two such holes should be able to provide enough heat for a small city/town. Especially if we can suck up that hot air with pumps.
You didn't answer the question though...
Nothing More We can dig very far...
Nothing More he answered it at 5:59. 7.7 mi ( so far )
I'm not sure if drilling a hole is the same as digging....
man..
this was...
*deep*
Samovar maker lol nice one
Samovar maker 😂😂
Зоя Рябова wwse
Samovar maker 😂😂😂 that was *punny*
ok wow
We currently don't have the technological capability to dig that far down and even if we did no human could survive the pressure and temperatures at those extreme depths. I would also suppose that at that temperature and atmospheric pressure found in the depth would be an engineering nightmare. New alloys and technology would need to be invented to even attempt it. He DID answer the question and "unknown" is an acceptable answer.
i love the idea that digging a big fuck of hole is what will unite humanity

Classy.

and theres no stone even at the deepst parts xD

I like how it’s just the Minecraft dirt texture.
Spelunking Tips:
Don’t dig straight up or down, since everyone knows that this method is a bad idea, especially in video games such as Minecraft, since you could run into potential hazards that could lurk above and/or below the surface such as electrical lines, irrigation and sewage systems, gas pipes, underground caves (especially the ones that are super huge and reach hundreds or thousands of feet in depth), and bodies of water, lava, or even radioactive waste.
The confusion in flat earthers right now :(
What? This makes one believe flat earth more actually

When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
My main takeaway from this is how shallow we bury nuclear waste
WAIT WHAT?!
The deepest concert in the world happened in Finland

The genius behind the band that held a concert underground was that if you were there... you were a part of the Mile Down Club lmao 🤣
I read somewhere that if all the water from the surface of the earth was removed and we'd only have the surface like the mountains and deep sea trenches, the earth's surface would still be smoother than a cue ball if it was the same size.
That's trick. Great perspective.
Oh the deepest concert ever held happened at 1,410 meters down... ALL MY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED NOW
Jot Singh 😂😂 right
Jot Singh its finland we do it for fun :D (im from finland)
I would have a concert for Trump called "Music for Cucks" and then bury him there :-)
Jot Singh and the deepest band is Marianas Trench
Bass must have been the deepest bass too :P
The question you didn’t answer was “how deep would we get if we put our collective minds to it with the technology of today” still, great vid and scary how little we’ve accomplished in this field compared to space travel, for example.
Yeah shit video, i was waiting for his analysis but all i got was facts and figures
I’m very bothered by this..
Glad I’m not the only one.
Poses good question. Doesn’t even attempt to answer that question.
Same, I was really hoping to hear how far we could "dig" not drill.
Repent to Jesus Christ
““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV
i actually asked this question in middle school and the teacher said "great question" and briefly explained that temperatures get too high for any tools to operate normally after a certain depth.
This is one of those "WOW" videos. Very cool.
You can dig until you hit bedrock duh
Ztak12 go in creative mode
Rush SR Survival too, as long as you know what's down (if you're risking to dig straight down) or make a staircase down
