HYPOTHETICAL
3,488 years, 234 days
12,742 km at 10 m/day
Formula
days = distance ÷ digging rate
= 30,580,800 hours
Physically impossible: the core is around 5,000 °C+.
Dig through the Earth calculator
Thought experiment only.
What if…?
3,488 years, 234 days
Values are in the calculator’s base unit (km).
Put that time in perspective
- 1,270,000 days, or 182,000 weeks.
- 3,489 years — longer than a century.
- 765,000 working weeks if done only in working hours.Assumption: A working week is 40 hours.
Dig through the Earth — inputs
Assumption: Earth's mean diameter (NASA).
m/day
Assumption: Pure guess for a very determined digger.Links and cards contain only the calculator inputs and result — never the question you typed.
