Many a child has dreamed of digging a hole deep enough in their backyard to get to China. Unfortunately, they're usually not armed with the right equipment. According to Business Insider, some hyper-specialized tools are required--and most of them don't exist yet. Besides that, digging from anywhere in the US would make you end up in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So you'd have to start either in Argentina or Chile. At the bottom of the first of the Earth's layers, you'd need lots of insulation, as the temperature is around 180 degrees Celsius. Digging through the second layer, you'd have to switch from a heat-resistant drill to a heat-resistant propeller, as the pressure is so high the rock melts. At the third layer, you'd need a super heat-and pressure-proof submarine that moves like rockets in space by shooting fuel out the back end. Easy!
Bwejuu, Tanzania, Dec 3 (EFE).- Dressed in a marine blue tunic and headscarf, kelp farmer Maryam Pandu’s attire reflects and honors the Indian Ocean that has given her a job and financial independence, luxuries which most women in deeply conservative Tanzania don’t enjoy. FOOTAGE OF SEAWEED FARMERS AND FARMERS WORKING IN THE WATER. SOUNDBITES AND TRANSLATIONS OF: Nali Hassan, Seaweed farmer in Bwejuu: "Before, every day we planted a lot of algae and they grew large and healthy, they did not spoil. But for six years now we barely harvested anything." Maryam Pandu, leader of a group of 20 algae farmers in Bwejuu:"I always tell the community girls that growing seaweed is very beneficial, specially for women with a very low income or who don't have a job. Growing seaweed means no longer being stuck and start being economically independent. Besides, it doesn't mean so much work and return is good. " "I will continue to grow algae until I am old and I can't even walk. I will continue to do so. What else can I do?"
