Earth-shattering news has just come out of Cardiff University.
For the first time ever, geologists are moving to use a drill to penetrate the ocean floor and go from there into the Earth’s mantle. The researchers involved in this momentous project are hoping that the drill will be able to collect samples of the protective matter underlying the planet’s crust and overlaying it’s core and bring them back for further study. While this is certainly an exciting development, the scientists involved are running some very serious risks if they go forward with their plans to drill deep into the Earth.
One of the project’s leaders, Professor Christopher MacLeod, has expressed his desire to use the drill to explore the Moho boundary, a region between crust and the mantle. This area is known for it’s regular seismic activity and is held responsible for triggering numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, potentially putting us on the surface at risk.

It’s like a huge everlasting gobstopper!
You do understand that this is impossible, right? Honestly, considering the farthest down we’ve ever drilled is, in scale, equivalent to not even breaking through the skin of an apple.
some things are better left alone
Leave the earth alone….have you not seen enough on how the earth gets even….fools….
Why they must be libtards also
BRILLIANT!
Is those geologist STUPID OR WHAT
Not likely.
They tried it and everything got too hot to continue so why try it again it won’t work
Yup. Cause our poor earth hasn’t gone through enough, you gotta drill a huge hole right through it. ….I hope you all fall in.
