beneath the crust…..?

my friend posted this blog:I was watching a movie ( blood diamond) the other day and they had this part about how the international jewelry companies control the amount of diamonds and gold in order to keep the prices where they want them to be.This idea could be the reason why scientists aren’t allowed to penetrate the earth’s crust.Yea i’ve heard stories about how the pressure is too high, the crust is too thick, and the technology is not advanced enough. but think about it, this is the 21st century, we have gotten people to walk on the moon, we’re building sky scrapers like crazy, almost every home in america has a computer or two. If we can make space suits that can withstand outerspace vacuums then why can’t we make suits that can withstand presssure? ok if that’s not possible, then why not send unmaned submarines? they have made headlines when they explored sunken ships at the bottom of the ocean. Why can’t we go and reach the mantle or be able to penetrate deep into the crust?

the bottom of the ocean is not that deep.

consider both the pressure and the thermal gradient.

the deepest well drilled is the russian kola well at 5+ miles.

reaching beyond that is an impossibly difficult task. exploring deep space is easier than our own planet, in comparison
