Has anyone ever tried to dig to the center of the earth?

At some point there could be layers of Diamonds, Rare Earths, and other minerals that are valuable that we could find.

Once you'd get to a certain point ( not even close to the center, btw ) the temperature and pressure would be too high.

Do your parents know you have an account on here?

I tried digging to China when I was a kid. Got about 2 feet down before I called it a day

Yes! I tried when I was about 7. I thought “if Buggs Bunny could, so could I”. I made it about waist deep before my Mom beat my arse for digging up the yard.

The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: ???????? ????????????? ???????? ??-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989.[1] It is the result of a scientific drilling effort to penetrate as deeply as possible into the Earth's crust conducted by the Soviet Union in the Pechengsky District of the Kola Peninsula, near the Russian border with Norway.

At the bottom of the Kola Superdeep at 8 miles, it’s over 356 degrees Fahrenheit. The earth’s crust varies between 15 and 45 miles thick.
The earth’s center is about 4,000 miles down.

Yes! I did. I think I was 5 or 6 yrs old.

I got about a foot below the water table as a kid. My dad was pissed when he got home.

I'm no scientist but how could the center of the earth, which is just short of 25k miles in circumference, be only 4k miles to the center? Wouldn't the center be 12k miles or so deep?

I tried, I got like 31" though and gave up
