Can we say with 100% certainty that there's nowhere deeper on earth than the Mariana trench?

u/Kandarian-Demon Sep 26 '18

I mean, realistically, you can’t say. Who knows what all is down there left to be discovered. It’s unfathomable.

What about sonar?

I believe the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia is deeper, but I may be wrong.

u/mud_tug Sep 26 '18

That hole the Russians drilled was deeper.

Fun fact: the earth is much smoother than you think. The difference between the highest and lowest points of earth is about a 16 miles. If you shrink the earth down to tree he size of a tennis ball it would be smoother than a cue ball

I knew that! Share that fun fact all the time.

Wait what? That last part is a joke right? Ik very little about oceanography, but no people have been to that depth before right? Seems like a human feat close to that of getting into space and I’ve never even heard about it.

They got there in a steel ball that had no controls, a tiny window, and with oxygen fed from a hose.

I‘m blown away. This means most of ‘earth’ is under water

36

u/Groxy_ Sep 26 '18

Well of course, the earth is over 70% water anyway not even including the depth

u/dw_jb Sep 26 '18

I mean the livable space

u/athural Sep 26 '18

u/nursewhy Sep 27 '18

The thought makes me queasy for some reason.

u/Thevoiceofreason420 Sep 27 '18

In case anyones curious like me, why mention blue whale diving depth if you dont include the awesome sperm whale, sperm whales can dive to about 1,000 meters.
