We also discuss the beauty and awe-inspiring nature of volcanoes, and how they have shaped the Earth's landscape.

We discuss the following topics in this episode!

• Earth's Core and Gravity: Discussion on Earth's super-dense core generating gravity, comparing it to airplane heights.
• Challenges of Deep Drilling: Friction and heat obstacles when drilling deep, the limitations of mechanical methods, and the potential of laser-based drilling.
• Setting off Volcanoes: Concerns about triggering volcanic eruptions while drilling into high-pressure areas, emphasizing caution near volcanoes.
• Gravity Trains: Introduction of gravity trains, a fast transportation concept using a tunnel from the surface to the core, assuming low friction.
• Volcano Worries and Perspective: Reassurance that for most people, volcano concerns are low, with heart disease posing a greater risk. Advice to stay informed and follow local authorities' guidance in volcanic regions.
