Have you ever wondered how deep we could dig into the Earth? No one's ever gone deeper than 12 km, which is about 7 1/2 m. That's deeper than Mount Everest is tall. And that took the Soviets 20 years. Still, it's just a scratch on the surface, a mere 0. 2% of the way to the Earth's core. It turns out that the deeper you go, the more the earth pushes back. But new technology could make it possible to dig further. — Whoa. Isn't that insane? — It just started to fly apart. Just so you could see how this rock became literally glass. And this could be the ticket to unlimited clean energy. just depths down to 6 km that you could produce 1400 gawatts of new geothermal power. That's bigger than the current US power grid. So, can these drilling techniques make a 20 km hole possible? And how far down can we actually go?
