Drill to the center of the earth?

It seems that scientists never stop coming up with stupid ideas.

They want to drill all the way down into the Earth, to reach magma, to build geothermal wells.

So what if something goes wrong? What if magma erupts or earthquakes occur while drilling? They never think about the consequences.

These are called Deep-earth drilling projects.

There have been several notable deep-earth drilling projects, with the most famous being the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, which reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 feet). Other significant projects include the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB) which reached 9,101 meters, and various deep sea drilling projects like DSDP/ODP/IODP Hole 504B. China is also currently undertaking a major drilling project in the Taklamakan Desert, aiming for depths exceeding 11,000 meters.

China is currently undertaking a deep-earth drilling project aimed at creating the country's deepest borehole, reaching a depth of 10,000 meters (approximately 32,808 feet) within the Tarim Basin. This project, known as "Shendi Take 1", is part of a broader scientific exploration initiative announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping to study the deep Earth and potentially discover new resources. The drilling project is also intended to advance China's deep-Earth drilling technology and enhance its ability to explore for oil and gas in ultra-deep formations. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Objective:

The primary goal is to penetrate the Earth's crust and study its internal structure, evolution, and potential resources. 

Location:

The drilling is taking place in the Tarim Basin, a region known for its rich oil and gas reserves. 

Significance:

This project is China's first scientific exploration borehole designed to exceed a depth of 10,000 meters. It is expected to set new records for deep-Earth drilling in Asia and contribute to a better understanding of the Earth's history, geological evolution, and ancient climate changes.
