In a twist, they’re digging a hole from China...

“hit an unknown”

Well ..... the pressure from the three gorges dam forces the lava to blow out the hole as the water from the lake rushes down into the earth blowing torrents of steam into the atmosphere ....

Causing the wode governments to call Bruce Willis to cap the lava with his one of kind lava plug.
Mean while John Rambo kicks all the china engineers behinds.

...... roll credits .....
(I thought everyone knew that)

25 miles below sea level is molten lava. We are safe from Chinese entering through a hole.

With that amount of heat, it will be a hell of a wok to get to the other side.

how the hell was there a light source in the Genesis cave?)

a possible explanation:
Various lichens and other organisms are light emitting.

Geological shift happens.
Your question is a good question.

Too easy.
Why are they doing it?
To get to the other side.

From the radioactivity that powered Genesis. But after watching Spock and Bones reprise Steve Martin’s All of Me, that was hardly my biggest issue.

I had a dog once that dug a hole one night that was at least five feet deep. I have no idea why he did it............

Because he was bored.

A lot of folks buy working breeds because they look cool not realizing they need a job to do every day.

When not given a job, the dog will find a way to burn off the excess energy.

“ I have no idea why he did it............”

It’s obvious, he wanted to go to China

It was good for some laughs. Science fiction is Fiction with some faux science trappings, but this one is really bad. Probably just a lame-assed anti-nuke script idea by some hack writer.

He was just a mutt, a mixture of at least three different types of dog...............

No, to learn what is there of course.

The deepest I have ever drilled is about 27,000 feet. All the way through the sediment and into the basement rock. Most wells were less than 20,000 feet in the Anadarko Basin. Across the world they were usually less deep than that.

I would go out to the shale shakers and pick samples and marvel that sometime in the past they were deposited as grains of something falling in an ancient ocean or washed from ancient rivers. In the Granite Wash formation they came from other ancient mountains that you could see in the distance on a clear day; so the pebble puppies told us.

In Utah we drilled a well that passed through nearly 18,000 feet of the same rock straight as an arrow until someone decided to run a dip meter and we learned it was the Ochre formation turned on its side. Less than 5 miles away another well was drilled and saw regular bedding. Imagine what took place to turn the world on its side at that time in the past? I can’t.

The subsalt basins are yet another fascination left when seas evaporated then the salt heated, rose and spread under the weight of additional sediments; so we are told. That is the simple version of it. Allochthonous salt is what it is called.

The oil found in the deep waters of the Gulf of America is an anomaly. At such formation depths it should be so hot that the mobile hydrocarbons should have cooked off leaving only tar at best but it is cooler there at depth than normal so they have not and they probably exist much deeper than we have drilled.

Fascinating and captivating business.

Gee, I was off a county. Roger Mills is about ten miles west.
