I find this very interesting...
Warning Sign.
The people responsible for burying the nuclear waste in the yucca mountain complex here in the USA are having a serious problem. The waste will be dangerous for the next 10,000 and the rock is stable enough geologically to be trusted not to move. However what if future civilizations cant understand the danger and accidentally uncover it?
Some of the comments at the bottom by readers are really funny;
"This is high up on my DI scale. I think it's very nobel that the people behind this have the foresight to warn a culture existing thousands of years from now.
I think I like the landscape of thorns idea, but I can just picture stupid college students from the 6013 A.D. having drinking parties there. After that, it's only a matter of time before they try to break into the waste storage area looking for more booze. "
Its really pretty funny to think that people so far advanced in the future wouldnt understand that the area is dangerous. Unless of course humanity de-evolves into tribal societys that cant maintain a historical record. In that case they wont have the tools necessary to dig up the stuff so its no problem then.
Sincerely,
