Woskov observes yet another advantage: “Our beams don’t need to be round. Forces underground are anisotropic — not symmetrical. That is one reason holes collapse. But we can shape our beam to respond to local pressures. You can create an elliptical hole with the major axis corresponding to the anisotropy of the forces, essentially recovering the strength of a round hole in a symmetrical force field.”

Life not just surviving but thriving in such extreme environments are referred to as “extremophilic”, but perhaps that term is a bit of a misnomer. After all, year by year, the number of new species found in these extreme environments rises considerably, which makes their presence in the strangest of nooks ever more expected and, well, normal. Those environments may be inhospitable to life we can see with our eyes, but it’s increasingly becoming clear that we’re in the minority here – fragile, larger lifeforms, wandering about on a planet that doesn’t belong to us as much as we would like to think.

The experts are prepared to investigate Randall Sullivan’s theory that a second set of flood tunnels lay off of the island’s southern shore.

Club conundrum: Fighting on two fronts. Sarries should have won the league again. Winning the Champions Cup for the second season in a row clearly took a lot out of them – the schedule scuppering their chances to take a breath. It didn’t help that Exeter were awesome either. Can they juggle both competitions this year?
