How long would it take to drain the ocean with different tools? Level 1. A teaspoon. The ocean holds 1.335 billion cubic kilometers of water. At one scoop per second, you'd finish in 2.6 quadrillion years. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. You're not even close. Level 2. A bucket. 10 liters per toss. Every second. Still 4.2 trillion years. Your arm hurts already. Level 3. A swimming pool pump. Suddenly, you feel powerful. You'd finish in only 840 million years. Every species that ever lived on earth is gone. You're still on level 3. Level 4. The world's largest industrial pump. Now we're talking. 84,000 years. Socrates jumps in. If the ocean is your power, what are you without the water? You keep pumping. Level 5. All rivers on earth flowing backward simultaneously. 3000 years. Civilizations rise and fall while you wait. Level 6. A black hole appears above the Pacific. The entire ocean vanishes in 0.003 seconds. The earth goes with it. Socrates nods. I asked what you'd be without the water. Turns out the answer was nothing.
