If we started mining the earth’s core, it would seem infinite at first. Can we be trusted to only take a little bit and not eventually hollow it out?

- cossatot 4y agoIf we took the entire core to the surface (without collapsing the Earth which is impossible) we would cover the Earth with iron and nickel to a depth of hundreds of km.
