If you had a pipe to the bottom of the trench, it could easily hold up against the pressure so long as the pipe had a fluid inside with the approximate same pressure or higher to counter balance the internal and external pressures. The problem with people going down that deep is we are essentially sacks of jelly filled donuts with hollow air sacs called lungs that have evolved to exist at the surface pressure of 1 atmosphere or 101 kilopascals. Those soft tissues with gases inside are sensitive to pressure changes (higher or lower. The same issue applies to submarines that have an internal space for humans filled with air, that is susceptible to compression from external pressure force. If you made a drone submarine with all solid parts and no internal air spaces, then it could go to the bottom without much issue.

we've drilled much deeper than this for oil, gas, and samples in both land and ocean. Drilling takes a pipe to bore down to keep the bore hole open. the trick is keeping inner and outer pressures equalized so the pipe doesn't collapse or explode. An answer to why put a pipe down that deep: water can't be compressed but the gasses contained inside can. If that high pressure water was brought to the surface then decompressed through a turbine it could make electricity

What if we built a giant city size tank in the middle of a desert and created great lengths of piping and fed water into that tank to combat the rising sea levels? Will it help? Would there be a tiny weather system such as rain? Would there be more life there?

The real question here is what would be inside the pipe? Id assume either someone found a massive oil deposit at the bottom of the trench or it-s an oxygen pipe for an extremely advanced research habitat to study the trench

For the guys who are wondering why they are doing a video abt the topic which is a cmplt nonsence. It is answer to question of a video in what if 'we dump all our waste in mariana treanch'. To do so we need a pipeline.

My little brain doesn't understand what would happen if it was a really straight pipe. Would it get affected by pressure or what.
And also why would we need to build a really long pipe

Me- i think pipes are made to for delivering water to the necessary place
What if - imagine building pipe are water
Me - but why u cant get water directly
What if - yes

Instead of building the pipe underwater, can they just connect the pipes on the surface and sink it slowly and keep connecting the pipe untill the pipe reach to the bottom: /

Keep water in the pipe and the only outer material (thickness of the steel) could easily withstand the pressure. As soon as you remove the water to air it would just collapse

I thought one of the 3 questions at the start would be -why would we build this? - but no we are just left in the dark as to what the use would be. Kinda sucks

I think the reason why are they creating pipes at the bottom of the mariana trench is for the trash. Because of the pressure on the deepest part can shrink you lol

If there is no light in the deep then we can use normal light right
Because there is no other light to disturb ur light source
I'm not clear, just a doubt

Idea for an episode: what if dinosaurs and humans lived in the same era(sorry idk if this was done already)
another idea: what if the purge was a real thing

I didn-t know that elephants and whales are an official unit of pressure. really educational content, always something new to learn -

I don't like the approach in this. Is it really not possible to build the pipe at the surface and submerge it piece by piece?

I have a question. WHY? Why should we construct a pipe to that place if we're not planning on transporting any fluids?
