  I dunno, they stopped the borehole due to high temperatures. Drilling under the ocean would mean easy water cooling.

    My opinion based on zero research is that salt water is hell for mechanisms.

      Ordinarily, sure, but we’re talking about hot salt water, which is definitely less corrosive.

      Oh wait.

      Haven’t we solved that? How does offshore oil work?

    We make the hole bigger and install pumps to pull water and debris out. Easy fix! /S

  Okay, but what exactly are we trying to get to? Ya’ll think there’s frosting and gummy bears down there? Ancient pirate treasure?

  There’s no sharp cutoff point, at a certain point the crushing hot rock that flows like bread dough starts to flow more like syrup, then just down for thousands more miles of more heat and more pressure.

  SG-3? Some possible Silurian/Goa’uld crossover perhaps?
