What If You Drilled a Hole at the Bottom of the Mariana Trench?
What If You Drilled a Hole at the Bottom of the Mariana Trench?
This is the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth. It stretches 11km (7 mi) down below sea level. But what if we made it even deeper? Get a giant drill because we’re about to dig a hole in one of the most hostile environments on the planet. Has anyone attempted to do this before? What kind of nasty conditions would you be stepping into? Could you drill all the way to the Earth’s core? What will this hostile environment be like?

Maybe you will reach space from down π€£π€£
Than you have a big hole
If you drilled a whole through Challenger Deep, you would get a get a error message saying βBarrier reached. Please go backβ
You might end up meeting the Lava Boss. Say hi!
WTF is wrong with you people? Working really hard at destroying the earth so let’s drill to the earths core in the Atlantic ocean? You people must have worms eating your brain! Have that checked out and quit making decisions for everyone. This sounds as stupid as nuking an active volcano. I can’t handle anymore complete ignorant stupidity. I listened to 33 seconds of this assinine video. No more.
Titanium – Tungesten Alloy
1:23 anybody know what movie that scene is from?
i don’t know why scientist is making space ship to explore outer space if we haven’t even explored the 65% of earth
You’ll release more Megalodons along the way & then demons to finalize.
Drilling a hole at the bottom of the Mariana Trench would be an extremely difficult and expensive undertaking, and it is not currently being proposed or planned by any organization. However, if it were to be attempted, it would likely have significant environmental impacts due to the unique and fragile ecosystem of the trench. Additionally, there could be geological risks associated with drilling at such extreme depths, such as the release of gases or destabilization of the seafloor. It is also important to consider the potential impact on the scientific research and understanding of the trench.
I thought it would be something new but nvm I guessπ€·ββοΈ
Why wonβt the lava turn into obsidian
Long story short: youβll die from pressure
What if earth moves to another solar system
Humans constantly create apocalyptic non-sense exploration from their crazy ideas to destroy their environment and unconsciously end their own lives ~ Unknown
Watch the movie Underwater
I think mariana trench is 34.000+ feet
What is the clip at for 1:26 from
these vidoes are more entartaing than any big budget hollywood movies
What if we stopped using papers for a year
Let’s just build The Virgil for this.
How do u kknow itβs the deepest of only 5 percent of the ocean has been discovered
Dudes!I’m not sure π
Easy, you wouldβve drilled a hole in the Mariana Trench.
Yes me
It would be awesome if you make a video on
What if we lived in a different universe where the laws of physics are different
imagine you and your whole team/crew drilled the mariana trench and right after you drilled it somebody removes your VR and said "unfortunately you have been permanently banned from the simulation for trying to destroy the its world" and obviously you’re so shocked and you just looked at the personel dead in the eye and then you looked around and see thousands or millions of people wearing VR and then you realized that all of it was just a simulation and all the people youve met and the good and bad things happened is just a part of it and none of it was real .

Drilling a hole at the Mariana Trench is not a very feasible thing.
But y will they start the drilling from the Surface of the Ocean, won’t it b more clever to send a robotic drill to the bottom then start drilling from there.
He sounds too young in this video
Anyways,Iβve been learning so many more things from you than my school.
And Iβve been a fan since
3 mil
Balayya trailer π
This guy acts a lot while talking so I’m leaving this channel
I love this channel but I swear you contradict yourself lol it would be cold just above freezing… then you report in Japan the water is to hot to work with… I know there are other variable factors but i just wish these videos were more than 5 minutes bc i feel like there are very seldom facts to your "what ifs"
get Elon Musk out here
Maybe to mantle π€¨
You would make a underground volcano and die
Next time on What If: What if you built the Burj Khalifa on top of Mt. Everest? π
Hola
What if perpetual motion machines work?
stahp hooman just let the trench aloneπ coz im sure there’ll be alotta victims abt supermassive this project..
When you find out that the Mariana Trench is as deep as the earth is wide. The earth is 12km wide approx 7900 miles the Mariana Trench is 11Km deep approx 6800 miles πππ€π€ something got me thinking but I canβt sayβ¦
Don’t do it! You will release all of SATAN’S demons. We have enough venom on Earth now to deal with.
They already know outcome why would there be need of experiments π€£
Nice video.
Iβm going to out pizza the hut
This channel chooses some of the most demanding situations , but fails to mention adequate information
This channel is totally based on fiction/fantasy world
It is possible to drill in mariana trench. Usa vs soviet Union drilling down into the earth is a perfect example. Russians went through the crust and achieved 13km which is deeper then Mariana. And usa actually drilled through the water
I wonder if you could use some kind of gyro mechanism to keep it level
