2,516 meters = 8,254.5 feet for those who want to know in feet.

Well, they did throw money down black holes, but I don’t think this was one of them!.............

Oh.

Well, nothing like a human, but it would still be traumatizing to see a gerbil fall in there.

I know little on this subject.
Previously, I had understaood nuclear waste was carried on rockets as ‘payloads’ into space?

Does anyone know here what the U.S.is doing today on disposal?

I only found this article:

adiabatic definition adjective

occurring without loss or gain of heat

Adiabatic oil is not a term commonly used in the context of oil formation or extraction. However, the concept of adiabatic compression is relevant in the context of oil exploration and extraction, particularly in understanding the behavior of gases and fluids under high pressure and temperature conditions. For example, adiabatic compression can occur when oxygen cylinders are quickly opened, leading to a sudden increase in local pressure and temperature, which can pose safety risks. Regarding oil formation, the abiotic oil theory proposes that some oil and natural gas deposits are formed inorganically, without the involvement of biological matter. This theory suggests that hydrocarbons can be synthesized deep within the Earth's mantle and then migrate to the surface.

However, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports a biogenic origin for most of the world's oil deposits, meaning that oil is primarily formed from the decomposition of long-dead organisms.

The abiotic oil theory, while not widely accepted, has gained some attention due to findings like the Eugene Island oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, which showed unexpected increases in production and changes in the geological age of the oil.

Some researchers, such as Vladimir Kutcherov and Alexander Kitchka, argue that a significant portion of oil deposits could be of abiotic origin and that oil may be found in geological structures where it is not traditionally sought.

It is important to note that while the abiotic oil theory challenges the conventional understanding of oil formation, the majority of scientific evidence still supports the biogenic origin of oil.

But scientific evidence is not necessarily accurate or correct.

However, some natural environments, like volcanoes and hydrothermal vents, also release potential toxins.

See, it's not just us. We're actually one supervolcano away from a year without Summer--or double the CO2 parts per million, depending on what gases get belched out.

In the end, they’re going to find out that Detlef Furbisnogger dumped the used oil from his Saab down the pipe.

How many people did the Oklo natural nuclear reactors, along with their fissions products, kill when they were operating without containment or an environmental impact statement 1.7 billion years ago?

As a Gen X’er who suffered being taught both the English and Metric systems poorly your comment immediately brought to mind how America s are forced to constantly make conversion in their heads to understand metric measurements. Below is hilarious skit poking fun at the issue.

Theoretically the center of the Earth is a nuclear reactor...............

Well, don't tell the fekkin democrats.

Google sucks in researching how the Outokumpu bore hole was made and cleared…rotary rig and drilling mud, no more information.

8551 feet depth is not great in oil field perspective. Would guess that it is not cased except for the surface casing of not given depth.

Questions lacking answers is; how did they evacuated the mud?

How did they clean off the bore hole walls?

How did they remove the drilling mud at depth that would have flowed into lower zones by way of hydrostatic pressure?

After 25 years, is some of their sampling the decomposition of embedded drilling mud at depth?

Not humans. :)

More likely the fellow dropped some rotted fish or whatever the Finns eat.

lots! It was an experiment that when haywire. The perps paid dearly and promptly went extinct.

Just judging from the size of the cable I’d say it’s too small for anyone to fall in.............

Would Zelenskyy fit? He's just a little guy after all.

ā€œFortunately, humans do not live 1.56336992 miles below the surface of the earth.ā€
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, they do but not for 24 hours a day and they can’t do it without help....

The deepest mine in the world is the Mponeng Gold Mine in South Africa, which reaches a depth of approximately 13,123 feet (4 kilometers) below the Earth’s surface. https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1fbd5zr/til_that_the_deepest_mine_in_the_world_mponeng/?rdt=38577

At that depth, the walls would be 140 degrees F if they didn’t use cooling. For the record, there are mines that hit that temperature at lower depth than the Mponeng mine.... there are many factors that go into what the temperature might be but the depth of the earth’s crust is a big one.
