      Boreholes and similar principles are the only ways we have to explore (through) the deep _solids_ of our world. There other ways today of _roughly charting_ some of it, but drilling / "drilling" down is the only means of sampling and actual observation (in person or by aid of tools).

      The government only access should give everyone an idea that there's stuff there we don't want being found by the public. They have a very specific understanding of history and the events that lead to our current civilizations and understanding of such. I'd guarantee there's something under the ice that would rattle the foundation of our understanding of history / civilization as a whole that they're intentionally keeping hushed.
      They've found Pyramids beneath the ice, that alone is something to question. When you consider the age of the ice shelves themselves, for a megalithic man-made structure to be beneath the ice. It'd suggest we've been inhabiting earth, and intelligent, a lot longer than any historic textbook tells us. That alone is enough for them to conceal it. If we begin to question our history with evidence that they're wrong, or lying.. We begin to question everything else they've taught us.
      They cannot afford to have us questioning our reality. Because we'll starting seeing it's not as they've made us believe.

      @Ryoku Y There are bacteria that feed on diesel fuel and create sludge that can block fuel filters. These bacteria need water as they live in the water and feed on the fuel, so draining water condensation from fuel tanks can eliminate the problem. As for why bacteria would eat fuel, that's simple, it's a rich source of energy and they have adapted to live on it.

    I am so curious about what's under the ice of Europa. I hope we will send a probe to check it out within my lifetime. There are number of problems that we would need to overcome exploring Europa, like high radiation and immense cold of -200'C which may mess up the probes, and how to actually melt or drill through the sourface ice cover, which could be many kilometers thick. The drill probe would have to remain connected to an antenna on the surface so that any data gathered could be sent back to Earth. And to top that off, the entire thing would have to be fully autonomous.

    • @aislingvandegejuchte9818
      @aislingvandegejuchte9818 3 года назад

      I'd think "under the sun" doesn't mean "under the sunlight": when you're in a house at noon you're still under the sun, but when it's nighttime you're no longer under the sun even if you're outside looking at the moon which hits you with reflected sunrays.
      The defined colloquial sense I propose is thus "all matter located in/on the hemisphere of the planet currently illuminated by the nearest star regardless of elevation/concealment"
      Second proof is in the intent of the author stating "There is nothing new under the sun" wherein your interpretation would allow the alternate description "there is nothing in direct sunlight, but new things happen all the time while indoors" which isn't the commonly understood conveyance.
      I hope you enjoyed this extremely long and pointless counterpoint; I'm bored and typing in between Warframe missions.

    9:23 If I understood the video so far, even though it's fortunate that they didn't drill all the way to the lake with the freon and kerosene, all those pollutants are still there and will eventually be pushed down into that lake or others with the normal flow of the ice, will it not?

    • @andrewthomson870
      @andrewthomson870 3 года назад +1

      Hopefully not. I think from what they were saying about the top layer of the lake freezing and the water being replaced after thousands of years it might work in the other direction where the pollutants will move up and away.

      No, the water is pressurized. Water wasn't sucked up, it was contained like capping a geyser. andrew is correct about which direction the water is moving. Watch the video again.

      I can't tell if you're talking about the source of water for the lake or the "water" mixture which ultimately plugged the bore hole.
      The source of water for the lake is the antarctic ice sheet which forms layers that sink downward over many thousands of years. The water that filled the bore holes which got all the way down came from the lake, and it was either sucked up by the lower pressure of the hole or pushed up by the weight of the ice on top (either way, the direction is up through the hole).
