if i was to put a thick pipe around the world ?

Question

and talk through it would the other person on the end of it hear me?

Answer 1

If you put a pipe round the world the person on both ends would be you, so the answer to the question is yes

Answer 2

Yes, you would be able to hear something, but it would just be a series of very loud explosions.
The Earth as you know is curved, so the weight of your voice would be continually falling and therefore building up speed until eventually it would break the sound barrier and your words would not be decipherable, just a series of very loud bangs.
I guess it would be the same if you threw a tennis ball down the pipe too, except it would hit you on the back of your head glowing white hot like a meteor and making a very loud bang in the process.
I hope this helps.

Oh, I sell pipe by the way, so please come to me for a great discount when you eventually decide to construct this wonderful device.

Answer 3

No, the world will only hear what it wants to hear, whether the pipe is thick or thin

Answer 4

uh, why not just try the internet or a phonecall, alot easier than making a big pipe costing billions and lots and lots of time to fail, lol

Answer 5

depends on how load your voice is!
sound waves dissipate quite quickly in air, if it was full of water you'd stand a better chance!

Answer 6

might have to wait a week to receive the sound

Answer 7

If thats the kind of questions you ask your hubbies sister, then sweetheart, i'm not surprised she doesn't want to see you.

Answer 8

a major phone company would soon find out and start charging you long distance 'calls'.

Answer 9

Well, wouldn't you just be talking to yourself??

Answer 10

you will wind up where you started
