From where you currently stand, the farthest you can travel on Earth is about 7,900 miles (12,700 kilometers) straight down. What’s more, were it not for some pesky geophysical realities such as crushing pressure, scorching heat and differential rotation spoiling your fun, you could get there in less than 45 minutes. All you need is a modest tunnel … right?
If you’re an Aussie dag and some bogan is giving you a dunnyflushing, why not spend the time constructively? Watch which way the water swirls down the bog, and then call one of your nerdier Yank mates and compare notes on swirlie physics. Will this settle the age-old argument? Hardly. But, hey, it’s something to pass the time.
