Screams From hell .. !!
Has anyone heard about the Kola super deep borehole. Allegedly (by which I mean, in another, fictional version of reality), researchers were digging in Siberia and dug so deep that they broke into an empty chamber under the ground that reached temperatures of over 1000 degrees. They then lowered their microphones down into the pit and recorded the screams of thousands, if not millions of humans trapped and suffering.

Geothermal activity easily explains any heat found deep in the crust. Magma, molten rock from the heat generated from extreme pressures is a pretty well understood aspect of science. Hell is a fictional place, not even a part of the earliest human myths and attempts to explain the universe. Given the universes infinite size, the center of the earth would make a fairly poor choice of places to eternally store the damned, as its the only place in the known universe where living people could drill down and free them.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that picture is not the Kola Superdeep Borehole! It is the Mirny Diamond mine. The Mirny Diamond Mine is 525m deep and has a diameter of 1200m. It was the first, and one of the largest, diamond Pipes in the USSR. It is now abandoned. While it was still operational, it would take two hours for trucks to drive from the top to the bottom of the mine. The Kola Superdeep Borehole is much less impressive looking. Over a 24 year period the Russians drilled a central shaft that split into a variety of smaller holes. SG-3, a 9 inch wide hole completed in 1989, was halted when the temperatures found were higher than expected. It reached an eventual depth of 12,261 meters, or 7.62 miles. That is more than 32 times the height of the Empire State Building.
ReplyDeleteOkay, This comment will answer. First off:Your pic is wrong there Hun. Second:It's actually been documented that this is true, it filled newspapers and magazines. If you look it up, you can find a list of the documents and pictures of the newspapers. My father is a scientist, and I cannot stand it when amatures think they can just call it the wind, and hey, it's fine! Grr. Anyway, I also think it's hilarious how you all just jump to conclusions like that. I think professional scientist just might know a bit more on the subject than a grocery clerk... Just stating true fact.
ReplyDeleteChloe, for the daughter of a "scientist", you don't seem to have a very good understanding of what fact is. Just because newspapers and magazines (The Examiner, The Star, etc.) publish a shocking story doesn't make it fact. It seems in this case, the lowly "amateurs" and grocery clerks have a more logical opinion that is more easily proved by real fact than some supposed scientists and their misled progeny. And I agree, great post, OP!
