I remember back when they were drilling this, there were all kinds of prophecies of doom about splitting the earth open, etc...
EARTH'S deepest artificial hole stretches 40,000 feet below the surface – but it's only covered by a rusty metal lid.
Russia's Kola Superdeep Borehole was created by the Soviets in the name of science so they could learn more about what's really under our feet and dig to depths unknown.
The project to drill into the Earth's surface began near Murmansk in the 1970s, when Soviet scientists wanted to learn more about the Earth's crust.
Over two decades, they managed dig more than 7.5 miles down into the Earth.
However, in 1992 they had to stop drilling because the temperature was around 180 degrees Celsius, which was far hotter than the scientists predicted it would be.
Experts still need to figure out away to overcome this temperature issue if they want to keep drilling and not destroy all of their equipment in the process.
I left out the part where you can hear the screams of people in Hell.
Synopsis: UNIT is providing security cover at an experimental drilling project designed to penetrate the Earth's crust and release a previously untapped source of energy. Soon, however, the drill head starts to leak an oily green liquid that transforms those who touch it into vicious primeval creatures with a craving for heat.
The Doctor is accidentally transported by the partially repaired TARDIS control console into a parallel universe where the drilling project is at a more advanced stage. Thwarted by his friends' ruthless alter egos, he works to save both universes.Last edited by Mountain Man; 08-26-2019, 12:56 PM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Way back in the 60's there was a dreadful sci-fi disaster movie called Crack In The World. The premise was scientists tried to drill all the way to the Earth's core to tap the geothermal energy there. Of course the experiment backfired and a large crack appeared in the Earth's mantle, a crack which then widened and propagated until it circled the whole globe. (spoiler) The climax is when the crack came all the way around and created a continuous breech in the mantle. Then a giant blob of glowing magma was ejected and created a new moon.
Needless to say the movie wasn't nominated for any Hollywood awards.
Hey, I saw it as a kid eating a 10 cent bag of popcorn at the Saturday matinee so it seems great at the time.
