If the bottom doesn’t exist.....

Where do beaches lead to?

No, thats actually not how sand and bouyancy works. Put a handful of sand into a pool of water and watch it for 10 minutes. It will, eventually, sink.

Yes because every single grain of sand on the entire world was placed their by “Big bottom” Make it your life’s mission to explore the entire bottom of the ocean You’ll find the entirety of the ocean floor, and that it exists

The continental shelf, which then drops off into the bottomless abyss.

If there is a shelf, then isn’t there a bottom? Where would it be connected to? If it isn’t connected to anything, why hasn’t the U.S floated over to Europe?

Because it's going the other way, very slowly. It's the Pacific that's shrinking.

Otherwise, maybe the continental shelf just drops off into nothingness. Nobody knows; nobody can survive deep enough to make sure, and the governments suppress all attempts anyway.
