In the sci-fi movies, isn’t this supposed to result in disaster?

Or does that only happen when you drop in the A-bomb?

Why is lava drying interesting or important? I thought they’d be excited about taping into an unlimited source of heat to create clean electric energy. Shows how much I know about science...

The breakthrough was made in 2005. Only now are researchers confident enough about their work to discuss the details publicly.

Yes, I'm sure. Read the rest of the article for more knee slappers.....

Imagine: a magma specialist. Is that a narrow field, or what?

Sounds like a Benny Hill episode.

Were there scantily clad Hawaiian maidens chasing the engineers around a bush?

Thanks for posting the article.


“’This is unprecedented; this is the first time a magma has been found in its natural habitat,’ “

I can’t resist.

“Does it have a mate? Do they have children? What are children of Magma called?”

'Before, all we had to deal with were lava flows; but they are the end of a magma's life. They're lying there on the surface, they've de-gassed. It's not the natural habitat.'

Poor guy. Lava flows are part of magma's natural habitat. Flowing up into a drill hole is not.

I wanted to see that thing do a gusher. Is that so wrong?

Well, since the place didn’t explode, maybe this will give us a clue about how to drill enough holes to decompress the monster Yellowstone magma chamber which is due to blow some time between now and 50,000 years from now, wiping out all human civilization.
