The earth’s core is constantly shifting. HOW ON EARTH DO THEY THINK THEY CAN KEEP A 12 MILE DEEP HOLE OPEN?!!
I will take a stab at your very legitimate question. I had the same question when I read about this years ago.
As I understand it, there is a large sweet spot just underneath the stable crust and the molten ocean around the core. This article makes it sound as if they are aiming to drill into the core itself but I do not think that is correct.
Fair warning, besides being a bit of a closet nerd who reads a lot about stuff like this I have no expertise on the subject. There are a lot of hypotheses about this subject and none have been tested to my knowledge.
“HOW ON EARTH DO THEY THINK THEY CAN KEEP A 12 MILE DEEP HOLE OPEN?!!”
Bill Clinton has had to confront this very question.
Let that Oak Island Canadian outfit put some can in the ground.
