Currently we cannot drill to the center of the Earth because no drill could withstand the temperatures in Earth's interior. The deepest hole ever drilled reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) or about 7.6 miles before it stopped working properly due to the heat. Earth has a radius of nearly 4,000 miles. Even if we had a drill that could withstand the temperatures of Earth's core, the outer core is liquid and features active convection currents.

How do you modify the Nerf n-strike cs6?
to make a long story short... you open the gun, take the tube that holds the bullets, drill a hole straight through the AR and through the back. just find it on the internet and this mod will make it shoot ALOT farther!

How can the ocean crust be different ages?
On geologic time scales, new oceanic crust is constantly being formed ad mid-ocean ridges while older crust is destroyed at subduction zones. The crust forms at the ridge and is carried away by the movement of the plate as new crust forms to take its place. The oceanic crust is youngest new a mid ocean ridge and oldest far away from it.
How long would it take to travel through the outer core?
It would be necessary to know at what speed you intend to travel through the outer core.
If you dug a hole through the earth starting from Philadelphia PA where would you end up?
Realistically, about halfway through the crust before pressure killed you. If you could withstand the pressure, quite close to the mantle-crust interface before spontaneuosly combusting. If you can take both and kept a straight line through the centre, you would come out on the seafloor of the Indian Ocean, off the southwest coast of Australia, roughly a thousand miles off-shore from Perth. See discussion.

How long would it take to dig through the crust if you dug one foot per minute?
The crust is not of uniform thickness so it would depend on where you were digging.
Where did project mohole take place?
Project Mohole took place in the deep ocean offshore of Guadalupe Island, about 200 miles off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. The aim of the project was to drill through the Earth's crust to reach the mantle beneath the oceanic crust.

If you could dig one foot per minute how long would it take you to dig through the Earth's crust?
Months
How long will it take to drill to the bottom of the Earth's crust?
It took 19 years to drill 12,262 meters deep. The crust is 30 miles or 50 kilometers deep.Doing the math:12,262 meters/19 years = 645.37 meters/year50 km = 50,000 meters50,000 meters/645.47 meters/year = 77.47 yearsThis is assuming technology remains at the current level of mining and drilling.
How long does it take to drill a water well?
It depends on the drill you use. With diamond drills it can be done in less than two days, but with a cheap, blunt drill, it could take over three weeks.
How do you drill through a toonie?
