Assuming that this future civilization is sufficiently advanced, wouldn't they have the ability to detect what's inside the ground without actually digging? I know we can through (I believe) echolocation, why wouldn't they?
Then they would see a cavity that's been sealed on all sides by concrete. However I suppose by this point they would have also discovered radiation and nuclear reactions so it might be a moot point.
- delinka 13y agoI believe the assumption is that a future civilization will be less advanced. Should society collapse, you can expect knowledge to be lost and advancement to cease. Sure, we hope that our civilization will continue to advance, but we plan for the worst and leave the message in simple language in the hope that the last remnants of mankind will survive by avoiding a serious threat left by their ancestors.
- lotu 13y agoIf the future civilization is advanced then the warnings are unnecessary. They already have the technology to deal with radiation, in fact it is possible that a future civilization would want to mine one of these sites for fuel. This is actually why I feel the whole exercise is pointless.
