    World’s deepest hole dubbed ‘well to HELL’

    I remember back when they were drilling this, there were all kinds of prophecies of doom about splitting the earth open, etc...

    EARTH'S deepest artificial hole stretches 40,000 feet below the surface – but it's only covered by a rusty metal lid.

    Russia's Kola Superdeep Borehole was created by the Soviets in the name of science so they could learn more about what's really under our feet and dig to depths unknown.

    The project to drill into the Earth's surface began near Murmansk in the 1970s, when Soviet scientists wanted to learn more about the Earth's crust.

    Over two decades, they managed dig more than 7.5 miles down into the Earth.

    However, in 1992 they had to stop drilling because the temperature was around 180 degrees Celsius, which was far hotter than the scientists predicted it would be.

    Experts still need to figure out away to overcome this temperature issue if they want to keep drilling and not destroy all of their equipment in the process.

    I was listening to audio for that. The screaming sounded like the same few people repeating their screams.

    Does this mean there are only a few people in hell?

        No, just that some are more vocal than others --- probably the lawyers advising you to call their toll-free number.

            Back to science . . .

            Kind of an old and moldy story of the Soviet failure to drill through crust to the mantle, which has been a long quest for more than 50 years. Recent efforts are more promising with better technology. The location is boring through a thin section of ocean crust in the southwestern Indian Ocean.

                  If it's what I'm thinking of, the audio was taken from some horror movie or something.

                    Yeah, I kinda remember something like that.

                      The US considered a deep borehole for a while. The goal was to reach the boundary between the crust and the mantle, called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho for short. So naturally, the project got nicknamed the Mohole.

                        If they pushed the drill in deep enough would it cause a mountain to pop out of the other side of the planet? That way they can make a mountain out of a Mohole.
