whether humans can drill down to the earth's core?? may be yes or may be no??



     Of course not easy to answer that question. Now, it seems unlikely humans could drill the earth until translucent. Whether in the future, humans may find more advanced technology in the field of drilling. What is clear, throughout the globe has a diameter of 12,756 kilometers, or more than 12 million meters. So, if people want to drill the earth until translucent, long drill bit required more than 12 million meters. Wow ..., very long....
     In addition, the temperature at the earth's core is very hot. Earth's core consists of thick nickel freezing temperatures reach 1370 km and 4000 0C. Wow, very hot, huh? What tools did not drill melts at temperatures as high as that?

Drilling Deepest
      Earth consists of four distinct layers. The geologists claim, since the Earth cooled 4.6 billion years ago, the heavy material "sinks", while the lighter materials emerge to the surface. Therefore, the skin layer is made of the earth is made of lightweight materials such as granite. While parts of the earth contain heavy metals such as nickel and iron. The skin of the earth is the place we live. Beneath it is a mantle (coat), a pasta-shaped material such as porridge. Earth's core is very hot and has a very high pressure. The human body will be destroyed like cakes when it comes to the center of the earth's core due to very high pressures.

      Humans do the drilling of the earth for various reasons. For the study, searching for oil, water, or other purposes. Humans have managed to examine the layers of the earth, but the core is still a mystery. Petroleum drilling is usually "not in". At a depth of 6,000 meters, oil was discovered. Deepest drilling ever undertaken by man is in the Peninsula city, Russia. Drilling was started in 1970 and reached a depth of 12,262 meters in 1994. Drilling technique is not by turning the drill bit, but pressed a bit by bit, taking out the mud.













 









     The purpose of drilling Kola Peninsula is 15 thousand feet. But to no avail. At that depth, can reach temperatures reaching 300 degrees Celsius or even higher. Too hot to operate a drill in there. Another drilling deep enough to do in the Caspian sea. Reach a depth nearly as deep in the Kola Peninsula. In addition, there is drilling for research in the Bertha Rogers, Oklahoma, Texas with a depth of 9583 meters. On drilling in the Peninsula, was not found oil or natural sources. But the scientists succeeded in studying the arrangement of layers of earth, including plate associated with the earthquake as well as physical and chemical composition of the earth's core. Humans do not always drilling from onshore. Humans also do the drilling at sea. Able to drill in the ocean menririkan base, commonly called the rig. Can also be drilled through the ship, like a ship "JOIDES Resolution". Ship JOIDES Resolution has seven floors, belongs to the Joint Oceanographic Institute engaged in scientific research.

      Well, humans have been able to drill into the earth as deep as more than 12 thousand meters. Though the earth's diameter reaches 12 million meters. So, just one more than a thousand. Could humans one day be drilled to penetrate the earth?
