Question: Do you think it's possible to travel to the core of the Earth with a vessel of some sort?

  1. I don’t think so – it gets hot very quickly, and very high pressures – and I don’t think there is much to see there anyway! Heather probably knows best.

  2. Pressure, temperature, solid and liquid states. As it is fewer people have gone to the bottom of the ocean, than into outer space. So I can’t imagine it such travel being possible at this stage. But lets see what Heather says?

  3. A heat and pressure resistant boat? people have really only just managed to get down to the deepest parts of the oceans, so I guess it would be one giant challenge to get through the earth

  4. My feeling is that it would be technically very difficult. Given that we’ve landed a probe on Venus though, albeit only for a short time, I wonder how close we could get. I’ll be interested in Heather’s answer too! I don’t think that humans could survive though, despite what Hollywood movies say!

  5. No. Its too hot and the pressure is too high.
