how many tons of cement would we need to fill in Silicon Valley, hypothetically speaking
enough that if you poured it all at once, the exothermic curing reaction would also succeed in melting it
so we do it very slowly then
no, you misunderstand, that’s the point. if we pour it quickly, the core of the concrete mass will become molten, along with everything trapped within. we won’t just be burying silicon valley. we’ll be melting it. we will erase it from history, so no foolish future civilization will ever have to face the grim possibility of accidentally unearthing it.
tens of thousands of years from now, when the molten core of concrete, metal, glass, and horrible tech industry culture solidifies into an unrecognizable mass, we will be able to safely mine it to reclaim the metals, which will have conveniently sorted themselves by density.
we need visionaries like yourself in public office
