I Wonder Podcast

What if you could journey through the very core of our planet? Inspired by the imaginative question from our curious friend, 11-year-old James, we embark on a thrilling thought experiment. We tackle the monumental challenges of drilling through Earth's diverse layers—from the rocky crust to the fiery mantle, and even the molten outer core to the solid inner core. With today's technology and these extreme conditions, it seems drilling through the Earth is merely a dream... or is it?

"This image, an artist's concept, illustrates a quasar, or feeding black hole, similar to APM 08279+5255, where astronomers discovered huge amounts of water vapor. Gas and dust likely form a torus around the central black hole, with clouds of charged gas above and below. X-rays emerge from the very central region, while thermal infrared radiation is emitted by dust throughout most of the torus. While this figure shows the quasar's torus approximately edge-on, the torus around APM 08279+5255 is likely positioned face-on from our point of view."
