Can you drill into the core of the earth?
If you drill, you will go through the Earth's crust, and for approx 1,800 miles of solid material (called the mantle). After that you will enter the core, which is made of iron and nickel, but the temperature goes up to 3700º Celcius and therefore is in liquid form. So, to answer your question, no, you cannot drill into the core of the earth.
