if the earth is round then why don't we bore a bunch of tunnels through it instead of burning expensive and poisonous jet fuel to fly above it? globeheads cannot explain this
>>221705485Agartha is inhabited by nazis and kaijus
>>221705485You do know what is inside of Earth, don't you?
>>221705485There's enough magma down there to light one quadrillion rööki's
and what would you use to propel yourself underground
>>221705515>>221705540just dodge the core, it's not like the entire thing is made of lava under the ground
>>221705485The earth is round and flat
>>221705555I imagine that scientists would be able to harness the power of Earth's gravitational field to propel vessels with very low amounts of additional fuel required
>>221705560It's at least 500 degrees Celsius at the coolest parts of the mantle. Only about 20km deeper than you.Going around wouldn't be any faster than going around on the surface.
>>221705560metros are common in the world
>>221705485Expensive to build subways over such a long distance plus way slower than the plane.
>>221705588Maybe they can find a way to power vessels with Finnish memes.
>>221705592scientists could use that heat as an energy source for the engines of the vessel
>>221705560Dodge this bullet!
>>221705640And what would you make these vessels out of? The closest thing we have that could survive those temperatures is a space shuttle. And even then it's only for a very limited amount of time.Are you an assberger just having fun playing devils advocate?
iirc the russians could only dig up to 5km, before it being nearly imposible to keep going. There's also the controversy about that most of our models being based on informed guesses, so we don't REALLY know how is the core or mantle actually like.
>>221705685diamonds melt at around 4000 °C and they are the hardest material known to man, just make the vessel out of diamonds. we can already synthesize diamonds so the problem is already solved
>>221705727The mantle gets to that temperature. And that heat has to go somewhere. Anyone inside that vessel would be cooked in seconds.
>just bore through thousands of miles of solid iron bro
>>221705555Jump in and gravity will take you to the other side for free.
>>221705744I already said that the heat would be used to power the engines
>>221705778You're not understanding. If you drop a rock in a pot of boiling water, the rock gets to 100 degrees Celsius.If you put humans in a vessel that's 4000 degrees, the humans also get to 4000 degrees.
>>221705825just make it go faster the hotter it gets and the air flow will cool it
>>221705859You're definitely trolling. And not very well. Even if this were possible it'd take hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars to do. It's far cheaper just to travel by plane.
>>221705882some chud 100 years ago probably said that space flight is impossible too but here we are with permanent space stations in orbit
>>221705882what scares me most is that I could believe a person walking the other way on the street could very well be that stupid t. different
>>221705922>>221705950There's no air in the mantle, outer, or inner core.
>>221706011there will be after you bore the hole
>>221706011I'm agreeing with you and op is trolling. what I'm saying is, stupidity is infinite
>>221705859>air flow will cool itYea just like the air flow in my air fryer cools my food
>>221706117the air in your fryer is not moving at a speed of thousands of miles per hour
>>221706146It doesn't matter if it's moving even at nearly the speed of light. It's still hot because everything around it is hot.
>>221706114Ah I didn't know there was two of you. I didn't think two Finns would be here at like 3am local time.
>>221706146The air around the Concorde was moving at around Mach 2.2 which was its main limiting factor for its cruising speed, as the friction of the fuselage with the thin air in the upper atmosphere, well above any subsonic airliner, would heat it up to over 170°C. For the same reason, the MiG-25 and the SR-71 had to be constructed out of titanium
>>221705685Just use whatever Plotdeviceium they had in the core, it can’t be that hard right?
>>221706267Yeah, this is really reminding me of that crappy movie The Core.
>>221706275>The Core>crappy movieYou take that back
>>221706194>>221706233ok so drain all the air out of the hole then? there is no way that heat would be a problem then because a vacuum cannot conduct heat. it would probably be much more efficient too with no drag from the air
>>221706309It's mediocre at best. Like The Day After Tomorrow or Battleship.
>>221706326The sun is in space though
>>221706365the rules don't apply to the sun, it's incomprehensibly large and burns with the power of a billion hiroshimas
>>221706349Always the leafs with the most atrocious takes possible>>221706326If you drill straight through the center you can make a tube where you can freefall through the planet in about 40 minutes no fuel drill. Why haven’t we done that yet?
>>221705485But they dug too deep and greedily, and let all of the gravity out, and everything on the surface floated away into space
>>221706411perhaps there are no viable locations for the exits? if the tunnel had to go straight through the core it's almost guaranteed that one exit would be in the middle of an ocean and I guess that might be a problem
Elon Musk could have pitched this idea before 2024 and everyone would have believed it btw
>>221706485Pekka please, if you can handle lava you can handle a bit of water
>>221706518I suppose the easiest way to handle that would be to fill the tunnel with water so that both traversing the tunnel and then emerging from the ocean could be done easily in a luxurious submarine
When the Finns play themselves in an attempt to make a joke, it comes out so naturally that many people fall for it.
