Minecraft: Indestructible Blocks?

I was playing Minecraft, and just for fun, I decided to dig down as deep as I could go and see if I could reach the bottom of the "world". About sixty blocks below sea level I found assorted blocks that I couldn't destroy with any tools I know of, let alone with my bare hands. The blocks are anywhere from 59 to 63 blocks below sea level, and I could find no way to burrow below the elevation of -63 blocks. Is there a way to destroy these blocks that I haven't thought of? Or is this a "natural" barrier that keeps us from dropping out of the bottom? - LJS

    What you hit sir, is called Bedrock. Bedrock serves as a barrier to keep you from falling from the world. This block is indestructible in Survival Mode but vulnerable in Creative Mode. If broken through the bottom bedrock in Creative, you fall into the End Of The World and die. Try to mine around bedrock, you get good stuff. (also, there is a block called obsidian that is formed by combining lava with water, it is pitch black and is only minable with diamond pickaxe, and even so, it takes a while to break. Just saying that in case you ever come across it because if you don't know what Bedrock is, it is assumable that you are a noobie.

    As reported on the Wiki, i think the international is actual infinitely spawning. In different words, you litterally have no end everywhere. each place you circulate unexplored remains new. i'm no longer thoroughly useful, regardless of the incontrovertible fact that it would this would be a activity for MCEdit (a international modifying software, enables you to make certain fairly a lot your finished international). and additionally, i think some random factors will in basic terms create strips of land fairly randomly, or a minimum of so MCEdit says. it is kinda tricky to describe, extra effective shown.

    It is called bedrock. It is to stop you falling down into nothingness.

    They're called bedrock, they're indeed there to prevent you from dropping into an empty void.
