Into Eternity

documentary

Mind-boggling piece on the world's first nuclear waste depository now being built in Finland. It will have to be stable and safe for 100,000 years. Mankind has never constructed anything that has lasted 1/10 that long. The pyramids were built 4,500 years ago.

How should you keep people out? Is that possible? Should you install warnings? What if they can't read? What about human curiousity? It's not possible for us to think in those time frames.

Thoughtful film. What the hell are we doing?
