What If People Lived Inside the Earth

What Would Happen If The Earth Rotated At The Speed Of Light

Our planet rotates once every 24 hours in respect to the Sun - this time is know as the solar day. The current speed of rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour. That's a lot, but we don't really feel this speed and it doesn't affect us. But what if this speed got much faster - let's say... the speed of light. If the Earth was rotating at the speed of light, how would it affect our planet and our lives? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

What If People Lived Inside the Earth

Could humans survive underground? Not so long ago, astronomers discovered a planet that's about 33 light-years away from Earth. This makes it our next-door neighbor. The space body is only a planet candidate because astronomers haven't measured its mass yet. But they have high hopes. Just 1.7 million miles away from its star, it completes its orbit in a day and a half. It's a scorching, deserted world with the temperatures at the surface rising up to 1,000˚F. Even more astounding, the entire planet is likely to be covered in magma! So, the question is, "What if Earth once went through some catastrophic event, and it left our planet in the same state: boiling hot, with the surface covered by a thick layer of lava? Would people manage to adapt to such conditions and move to live underground?" It sounds unbelievable, but experts are sure that with time, humans would turn into healthy and rather happy mole people! Of course, life would be very different than today...

What If You Fell Through Earth and Came Out the Other Side

In the world's deepest gold mines, people work at a depth of over 13,000 ft. The deepest oil well on the planet is located in the Russian Far East, it goes more than 40,000 feet down. It's fifteen Burj Khalifa towers put on top of each other. One of the world's deepest and most famous artificial holes is the Kola Superdeep Borehole. Its depth is also over 40,000 feet! If you dropped a coin down the shaft, it would be falling for 50 seconds before it reached the bottom. A mere 9 inches across, this well was created for scientific purposes. People wanted to drill through the Earth's crust and see what lay below. But what if, by some miracle, you managed to drill a hole all the way through Earth? You've got through 8,000 miles of molten magma and solid rock. You've withstood the temperatures of almost 11,000˚F and extreme pressure - more than 300 million times more than at the surface of the planet. The well is wide enough for an adult to pass without having to squeeze through. It's also perfectly straight. The hole's walls are incredibly strong and won't collapse or melt. And then, while standing on the well's edge, admiring your handiwork, you slip and fall into the gaping abyss! Learn more about your ad choices.

Scientists Discovered a Mystery Layer in Earth's Core

The Earth has three compositional layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. At least this is what we've long been told by geologists. But a recent discovery suggests that our planet has one more layer. Scientists that studies earthquakes found one more layer in the Earth's inner core. Let's take a look at it! #brightside Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

We Finally Visited the Other Side of the Moon

In 2023, India made history by successfully landing on the other side of the moon with its Chandrayaan-3 mission. This achievement marked a huge milestone for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and showcased India's growing capabilities in space exploration. The mission aimed to study the moon's geology and search for water ice, which could be crucial for future lunar missions. Scientists and the public alike were thrilled with the wealth of data and stunning images sent back. This accomplishment has ignited even more excitement and ambition for India's future space endeavors! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
