I'm curious if there were any way to bring up the whiskey bottles without losing the contents when they pop? Something like an underwater bag that they can place the whiskey into, then pump out any air, and pour the popped whiskey from the bag into the bottle when they're on the surface.

- Brian_K_White 2y agoI think if they are popping from coming up, that means the pressure forced lake water into the bottle around the cork, and so the contents are corrupt anyway. Still safe to drink, just not a preseved example of whatever it was originally. Destroying 3 out of 6 of something is a terrible custodial record. Especially the other 2 after they already had the 1st explode. It gives all non-professionals a bad name and gives elitist professionals ammo against anyone but themselves daring to dig or explore or even be interested in anything without a license.
- fsckboy 2y ago>that means the pressure forced lake water into the bottle around the cork no, it doesn't. perhaps the cork seal was tight enough to not let water pass, but helium could get through. The lake water pressure and very trace amounts of helium in the water would slowly increase the pressure in the bottle due to helium infiltration. of course other "air" molecules might make it in, H2 or N2 (i'm not an expert on the size of N2)
- lupusreal 2y agoShouldn't the partial pressure of helium in the lake water be extremely low, given the low partial pressure of helium in the atmosphere above the lake? Physics class was a long time ago but I think that's how Henry's Law works.
- 93po 2y agothe partial pressure of helium in the atmosphere is minimal (about 0.0005%), and the amount in the lake water would be even lower, making helium infiltration unlikely to be a significant factor. my extremely unqualified opinion is that water seeped in through the cork, but the cork was still fairly well lodged in place, so it had the high pressure of being 15 meters down despite not being originally bottled at pressure, and when brought back up, the glass shattered instead of the cork popping out
- refurb 2y agoAre you saying helium would move into the bottle from an area of low concentration to one of higher? Against the gradient? Free energy?
- fsckboy 2y agoare you saying that your coffee water doesn't pass through the coffee filter because it's against the gradient, or that your coffee grounds will pass through the filter to eliminate the gradient? Are you Maxwell's daemon!?
- refurb 2y agoWater moving through a coffee filter is not moving against a concentration gradient, it's moving with it. This is basic science.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoIt's not like he was opening king tuts tomb. I don't think it it was a custodial relationship- it was basically trash
- adolph 2y ago> it was basically trash Exactly. Just like Al Capones vaults. They just needed to wait a few several hundred more years. Then they could do the custodial thing. Maybe if they start a foundation now they can make sure nobody forgets about it until they can make bank with the historicity.
- lupusreal 2y agoAfter enough time has passed, records and analysis of excavations may be lost and proper archeology just becomes looting again. It's possible this has already happened; for instance in Egypt where ancient people might have dug up far more ancient ruins while properly writing down and cataloging their findings, but those records have been lost to us and we remember them as looters.
