You mean while it's full of magma? Some kind of magma-related shenanigans, I'd wager.

I wouldn't place any hope in that sort of thing.

"With the projected further increase in temperature with increasing depth, drilling to 15,000 m (49,000 ft) would have meant working at a temperature of 300 °C (570 °F), where the drill bit would no longer work."

No drilling head ever designed by Humans will survive drilling into such hot pressurized rock. There's a limit to the science of materials.

quick question:

If no one has ever drilled to the mantle of the earth, let alone the core, how have we developed a model of what's beneath our feet?

Earthquakes full wave invertion

Basically, sonar. Reflected soundwaves from earthquakes mostly. Perhaps some from nuke blasts and other large explosions as well.

seismic activity among other things.

We actually use earthquakes to measure the size of the earth's core

If we got through the mantle what then? infinite geothermal energy?

that's pretty fucking cool

This.

You would stuck to the side of your tunnel eventually.
