Could humans to drill the earth until translucent?

Certainly not easy to answer that question. Now, it seems unlikely humans could drill the earth until translucent. Whether in the future, people may find more advanced technology in the field of drilling. 

Clearly, the whole globe has a diameter of 12,756 kilometers or more than 12 million meters. So, if people want to drill the earth until translucent, needed a drill that are more than 12 million meters. Wow ..., long. 

addition, the temperature at the Earth's core is very hot. Core is composed of nickel-thick frozen temperatures reach 1370 km and 4000 0C. Wow, very hot, huh? What tools did not drill that melts at high temperatures? 

please see the picture below

Drilling Deepest 
Earth consists of four distinct layers. The geologists said since the Earth cooled 4.6 billion years ago, a heavy material "sink",Source. while the lighter material surfaced.Therefore, the layers of the earth is made ​​is made ​​of lightweight materials such as granite. While the interior of the Earth contains heavy metals such as nickel and iron.




Earth's crust is a place in which we live. Underneath is the mantle (mantle), a pasty material in paste form. 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 central core of the earth due to the very high pressure. 

drilling earth man for a variety of reasons. For the study, the search for oil, water, or other purposes. Humans have managed to examine layers of the earth, but the earth's core remains a mystery. 

Drilling oil usually "not in". At a depth of 6,000 meters, oil was discovered. Drilling deepest ever done was done in the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Drilling began in 1970 and reached a depth of 12,262 feet in 1994. Mechanical drilling with twist drills, but reduced little by little, taking out mud. 

purpose of drilling the Kola Peninsula is 15 thousand meters. But to no avail. At that depth, the temperature can reach up to 300 degrees Celsius or even higher. Too hot to operate a drill in there. 

Drilling Other well done in the Caspian Sea. Reached a depth of nearly as deep as in the Kola Peninsula. In addition, there is drilling for research in Bertha Rogers, Oklahoma, Texas with a depth of 9583 meters. 

drilling in the Peninsula, there is no oil or natural resources. But the scientists managed to study the composition of Earth's layers, including plates related to earthquakes as well as the physical and chemical composition of the Earth's core.

Not forever man drill from the ground. Humans also drilling at sea. Able to drill in the sea menririkan base, commonly called rig. Can also drilled through the ship, such ship "JOIDES Resolution". Ship JOIDES Resolution has seven floors, owned Joint Oceanographic Institute engaged in scientific research.
Well, people have been able to drill deep into the earth over 12 thousand feet.Though the diameter of the Earth reaches 12 million meters. So, just one more than a thousand. Could humans one day be able to drill the earth until translucent?
