•Is It Possible to Dig All the Way Through the Earth to the Other Side?

Geophysicist: If I had been able to dig straight through the planet, I would have ended up in the Indian Ocean .
Earthâs outer layers exert pressure on layers underneath, and these forces increase steadily with depth.
Deep boreholes like this one can tell a lot about Earth 's interior, he says.
The deepest hole in the Earth is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in northwestern Russia , which extends 7.5 miles deep.
The slow movement of Earthâs mantle would eventually cause a borehole to bend and collapse.
Magma , gases and liquid metal deep in the Earth , under tremendous pressure, could explode upward through the borehole.
Current drilling technologies just arenât fast enough or durable enough to drill through the mantle and core.
