Is it possible to swim under Australia? I mean islands are not connected to the core of the earth so you could actually swim under them. Well it isn’t possible because islands are like upside down mountains but…
Basically, is Australia attached to the core like all other countries or is it an actual island? So just say we could swim under islands because they arent attached to the core, would we be able to swim under Australia?
(I know it is a stupid question but I have to do a project and I am supposed to research about a question that has been on your mind lately. So if you dont mind I would really appreciate it if you could answer my question. Thank you!!)

What is it like being a scientist? What expiriments have you recently done? Have you worked in a laboratory? If you have, what is it like? Do you know any scientists with wild white hair and are in a lab coat? What do you do on an average day as a scientist?

How many large objects (stars or planets / solid or gas) have been identified in the universe, so far and are there estimates about how many more will be discovered in the next 100 years? Is it known / acknowledged that the universe is expanding continuously and that there are an infinite number of large objects?

Why didn’t all the dinosaurs die out? That is, for example, if birds are descended from dinosaurs how did their ancestors manage to survive when others died out?
