Kingman Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The centre of the Earth is about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun It is approximately 3,950 mi (6,370 km) from Earth's surface to its center. Geologists understand the structure and composition of the surface by direct observation and by analysis of rock samples raised by drilling projects; however, the depth of drill holes and, therefore, the depth limit of scientists' ability to directly observe Earth's interior is severely limited. Even the deepest drill holes (7.5 mi [12 km]) penetrate less than 0.2% of the distance to Earth's center. Thus, we know more about the layers near Earth's surface than about the depths, and can only investigate conditions deeper in the interior through indirect means.

useless Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 In the UK it's always the left Escalator that goes up and the left Escalator that goes down, to match the side of the road we drive on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the Leeds Clas Ohlson it isn't. not anywhere does the left hand one do the up and the down surely? where's the one on the right going? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) If you stand before two escalators it's always the one your left as you face it that you catch, whether going up or down. And in the US it's the other way around, to match the side of the road the drive on. Well that's what I'd read somewhere, maybe not true though it seems.

The_Rev Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That's not true. It might be in most cases, but not all. There is no law about where you have to position escalators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm pretty sure under british standards escalators have to have the ability to go both ways, although it will eventually break it if it's continuous use in the wrong direction, so that would suggest to me that there isn't a law or guideline saying they have to go a certain way It'll be market researched half to death though, there will be a logic to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 having installed a small number of escalators, I know for a fact I've put in a mid floor landing where you could go left or right, up or down although the first official and patented escalator was installed somewhere in America in about 1896 or so, the first ever recorded 'one off' non-patented escalator was installed 7 years earlier in the refurbished private quarters of Cardiff Castle by Lord Bute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Atoms are made up mostly of empty space. If the space were removed from atoms, all the protons, neutrons and electrons in all the human bodies on the planet would fit into something the size of a sugar cube.

useless Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Maybe that's why if you keep walking into a wall you'll eventually walk through it, like a ghost in the cartoons. I'm guessing the reason it doesn't usually happen is because the atoms and it's constitute parts are moving that fast that they seem to be in more than one place at the time, so the wall might as well be solid.
