What If the Earth Was Flat?

There will always be things in this world that you never imagined even existed. That’s why we at Bright Side would like to share the following curious and fascinating facts about seemingly ordinary things. What would happen if... Do you ever get lost in thought with “What if…” questions? “What if I change my job?” “What if I won the lottery?” But what if we start asking more global, perhaps less realistic, questions? What if the Earth was a cube? What if it was flat or two times bigger? Watch the answers to the most googled questions about our planet! What if you drilled a hole through the Earth? You would also really cut down your travel time. It would only take you 42 minutes to end up on the other side of the planet. But if you’re in the US, you better be careful and grab and inflatable raft before you jump through that Earth-piercing hole. In a little under half an hour, you’d wind up smack dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean! And if you happen to be hanging out in Chile when this bright idea comes to mind, hurray! You could be chowing down on some authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch. First off, depending on where you start drilling, expect anywhere from 20 to 40 miles of continental crust. After that, you’ll have to get through almost two miles of the solid rock of Earth’s mantle. Then, you’ll be seeing the outer core of liquid iron burning at around 10,000°F! FYI, that’s as hot as the surface of the sun! Not to mention this outer core is the size of Mars! Okay, so you’ve gotten through the outer core, now you’re looking at the solid Moon-sized inner core.
