Swimming in syrup
More close-up photos of the World's Largest Digging Machine:
• The machine is 95 meters high and 215 meters long (almost 2.5 football fields in length)
• Weight is 45,500 tons (that's equivalent to a bumper to bumper line of jeeps 80 miles long)
• It took 5 years to design and manufacture at a cost of $100 million
• Maximum digging speed is 10 meters per minute
• Can move more than 76,000 cubic meters of coal, rock, and earth per day
It's a question that has taxed generations of the finest minds in physics: do humans swim slower in syrup than in water? And since you ask, the answer's no
