View Full Version : Door to Hell
Check this out. Has anyone ever heard of this? Something like this happened back home in PA a while back.

Cool, I bet that looks pretty neat from an overflying aircraft at night!:cool:

That's it! We've found the cause of global warming!

How did you get a picture of my Mother-In-Law's house? :D
I think there is an area in PA that has an underground coal fire for about 80 years or so, and I night have read of a similar place in Germany.

That's what they get for not getting Al Gores' permission to drill/dig. Same thing happened in Pa, Gore did not approve the coal minning sites.
Place is in serious need of a hot dog/ hamburger/ marshmellow stand. By fresh and cook it your self!

Was thinking the same thing.
Really disheartening story about that town.

Founder was Johnathan Faust. That's freaky. :eek:

I am surprised that with the price of NG that someone hasn't figured out how to put the fire out and tap the gas for sale, especially if it is a large deposit. The coal fires I saw in eastern PA that burned for decades were put out by strip mining operations when the technology became available to do so without too much fuss...

Holy CRAP.
That is the worlds biggest BBQ!
Bring the Beer and the Brats and the tater salad pronto!
There is also a fire like that in a mining cave in Colorado close to Grand Junction.
Caught on fire during mining in early 1900's if I am not mistaken. Fire is still going in the cave.
Recently, fire broke out on surrounding hills.

I've got it from a good source that, if you sit quietly nearby at night, you will be able to hear a chorus of tortured voices screaming,"Allah, you have forsaken us! We were promised 72 virgins!":D

Para,
Wonder what the eight year old carrying the remote detonated bomb is saying?

That is freaking hilarious!:D
Pretty amazing...I have never heard of this. Is this natural gas they are burnng or is it oil? The pictures are cool.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm on a different continent. I wonder how they ever got that passed?
"Ok, uh, well, we want to shoot some invisible things at each other at speeds you can't imagine, which will produce some unknown particles called higs somethings that we don't know what in the hell they are and they travel at billions of times light speed, and, yeah, we're building it under your houses and cities and, well, we kind of don't really know what will happen when we turn it on."
"Eh, ok, go for it."
(whispering) "That was easy! Glad you didn't mention the micro black holes that will be released!"
Dr Ray Stantz: You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment.
Dr. Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
Dr. Peter Venkman: So do I.
Dr Ray Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

My sentiments exactly.
I read the article and even though I'm scientifically challenged, I did come away with enough of a feeling that his could be a dangerous enterprise. I hope that everything turns out alright. Many people may be in for some big trouble, if it doesn't.

On the other hand, mini black holes that just swirl around randomly eating shit up and making it disappear would be kind of cool. I mean we don't have any predators anymore, we're at the "top" of the food chain (though those bacterium and viruses sure give us a run for our money), and we've for the most part become fat, lazy, and despondent.
If there were tens of thousands of tiny black holes released then people may get some survival instinct back. I mean it wouldn't help because as soon as one got near you it would suck you into another dimension, but it would be a really fucking good science fiction story.

I'm not a physicist, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either, but I do recall one lazy summer afternoon while interning at the Air & Space Museum when, out of curiosity, I calculated the diameter of my event horizon should I somehow turn myself into a black hole. (I can't believe I just wrote that with a straight face.)
Anyway, it was a very small number preceded by many, many zeroes.
Wouldn't a mini black hole have a really teeny tiny event horizon? Could a person even get close enough to one to actually be sucked anywhere?
Of course, I wouldn't volunteer to be a test subject for my little hypothesis.... :D
^ Nerd alert!
Reading that just made me want to buy a pocket protector.
And then read about an Event Horizon, which, as far as I know, was one of the spookiest space-science-fiction movies ever "Liberate tutemet ex inferis"

Stay safe.

What if somehow they were changed and became animated and predatory, so that they willingly flew around sucking shit up? One minute you're talking to the po-po about why you shouldn't be ticketed for speeding, and the next minute the po-po is sucked into a tiny black hole.
Success!
Or one minute you're opening the door to the cab for the hottie of your dreams who really really wants you to flood her insides with your baby makers, and the next she's gone because a little black hole was sitting on the cab seat.
Failure!
There are many many combinations of the above.
Black holes are thought to be expansive = to the amount of material they absorb. They have also been seen (not really SEEN as much as the stuff AROUND them shows) to merge. So if a bunch of little ones got near each other they could also grow that way.
Some scientists believe there are already small black holes here now. This might be an explanation for the Bermuda and Devil's triangles, as well as Hillary Clinton's mouth. :D

Sorry about all that. Normally I can suppress the nerd-urges but every now and then I'll have a relapse. :D
Damn KidA and his talk of mini black holes...........:mad:

I recall that a single teaspoon size of black hole material has a mass something on the order of a hundred times the earth. :eek:
