PERSONALLY, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN a fan of gravity — this mysterious presence that has been defined but never explained.
Can gravity be attenuated, or amplified..? Can its force be reversed..?
Now, here comes a story about a “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean seabed, called the Indian Ocean Geoid Low.
The density of the earth’s mantle is apparently not consistent. There is a “bubble” of low-density material under the Indian Ocean, apparently, which results in lower gravitational force.
Eureka..!
Science has identified the perfect spot for high-density nuclear waste land fill ..!
(It won’t need launching into space, for disposal, after all.)
This, certainly, is an example of the usefulness of science.
(smile).
You FOOL..!, I hear the screams.
Don’t you KNOW..!!!
That low-density bubble is a void inside the earth, where probably the underworld lives..!
It doesn’t belong to us… to fill with NUCLEAR WASTE..!!!
Okay, okay. But it could be useful for something, I’m sure.
