It's a quantum singularity, so all we need do is fire a beam of neutrinos into it and PRESTO! It will a. carry us back in time, or b. stop the expansion of the hole in spacetime c. whatever else the writer needs to happen...

Oh, sorry, got lost in the terminology...

Seems Mars has always stolen the thunder from Venus in the cultural imagination, because you can SEE the surface. People just assume Venus is always cloudy and thus there's no oppportunity for theories about lost civilizations.

Anything lost on Venus is likely to stay lost for a long time.

I've always thought Venus was a better candidate for terraforming because of the thick atmosphere. If we could engineer some microbes and plants to start trapping toxic substances in the atmosphere, we could start making changes that could eventually result in the planet being habitable.

There's also this small matter of Venus having an avg surface temp of roughly 400 deg celcius! I really doubt ANY civilization could've taken rot there, ever. Mars on the other hand, was once warmer and had water and a half-decent atmospheric covering. My vote is for mars to be further explored for signs of past life.
