is it possible to build a domed house under the ocean?

yes but you you would have to make sure that the water pressure is not too high so only on shallowish sea beds and it would be dangerous if the structure did fail it's bye bye to everyone.\nWe have made air tight structures before (eg space craft and submarines) so its possible just not practical.

You could do it the risky way, by sailing to the edge and hoping the current pulling water off the edge doesn't get you, too.  I don't recommend this.  The young men in my village (I live on an island close to the edge of the world) used to do this on dares, until we lost three young husbands and twelve manlings on an ill-fated drunken bet.  There was such a shortage of men we had to dress some of the maids in armour and set them to the oars during our next raid, just to have enough people!\n\n(Some people are so ignorant -- I'm still chortling.  Next I bet your friend Eric Halfwit will tell you that thunder is created by something soft like clouds rather than by Thor's mighty hammer!  Or that the sun is made of flaming air, rather than the shining Goddess Sol, fleeing across the sky from the wolf Skoll.)\n\nThe safer way to prove the earth is not round is by digging a hole deep enough that you come to the bottom of the earth, then you can stick your heads through and show him how the earth rests on the back of four giant elephants.  The bottom of the earth has no hills or mountains, so it's easier to see its flatness, too.\n\nPlus, how could it be a pig's bladder?  Wouldn't it pop and fly out of its place in the center of the universe the first time somebody dug a well and punctured its surface?  Hasn't Eric Halfwit thought of this yet?\n\nThis all shows that too much thinking is dangerous.  We should be making babies and pillaging villages -- ideas like that may anger the gods and ruin next year's crops. . . in the villages we raid.

Sure. They can raise a sunken boat by putting inflatables inside the hull and blow in air. That's just like a big balloon.

I don't think so.  A signal having to fight through a mile of earth would get deflected/weakened unless you had relay nodes already burried.  Without those, communication would be spotty at best even with high grade equipment.

sure, just make up a saline mixture of simulated seawater at 3.5% salinity. T

You mine it.  Marble is found in many places.  It does not have to be mined from under the ocean.  It may have formed under an ocean many millennia ago, but much of the earth which was underwater then is now not.

Try contacting the DR Horton Homes, and Centex or any large developer that builds homes and has a design studio.  It s a cool job and its indoors, (limits outside noises).

Well i don't think it is possible....but if it is created it will be great...but the cost will be very high...many unsolved mysteries would be solved...hope someone invents it.. ;)

No, that is not even possible. Even if an explosion big enough to do the job were set off on the Moon, if it were set off at the Moon's south pole it would push the Moon away from the Earth, not toward it. And nobody on Earth, not the US government, not anybody, has the ability to make an explosion that big anyway.

The best way would be to collect the condensation from boiled ocean water. A moderate expense.

Many people think that London, New York, Amsterdam will perish if the sea level rises due the melting of the poles. But a Norwegian scientist confound this theory by carrying out a simple experiment with a glass of water and ice cubes. I might be wrong, but if I remember rightly, the melted ice cubes did not raise the level of water in the glass. If somebody can, please correct me!

In theory yes, but you does not have enough instruments to do it. You must build everything. \n\nConsidering huge cetaceans, it would be more dificult due its size. \n\nIts harder than do CPR into a Dog.

No we don't have the ability now, not only is the temperature too great, there is way too much pressure for us to overcome. It would crush anything significant before we got to far. \n\nThe farthest down that we have been is only a few thousand km, and that with a tiny drill.\n\nThe deepest holes in the crust are natural. Volcanoes bring up material from tens of km depth. The crust thickness averages about 18 miles (30 kilometers) under the continents, but is only about 3 miles (5 kilometers) under the oceans. It is light and brittle and can break. \n\nHere is a great article that explains a lot:\nhttp://www.livescience.com/technology/050407_earth_drill.html\n\nThe reason we explore space more, is because not only is it easier to accomplish, but it is also far safer and less costly. I agree though that exploring below the Earth can be quite rewarding, but we simply can't do it as of now.

Ice burgs melting wouldn't raise the sea level.  It's the ice on land melting that adds to the ocean.  Miami, and most of Florida would be something like 15-20 feet under water if all the ice melted.

Under what conditions?\n\nI recall seeing an article about a hotel in the Florida Keys that has made a series of underwater "bungaloes" that guests need to SCUBA dive down to, and out of.  Looks like it would be interesting.  And there are deep-sea researchers that live at depth for some time.\n\nBut either one requires a great deal of support at this time, since none of them could be considered self-sufficient.  Perhaps in the future?

Well,  there is a new island forming just south of the big island.  It is about 3000 feet under sea, and is not expected to break the surface of the ocean for another 10,000 years.  I'd say that is pretty fast in geological terms.

Sure - particularly if you're someplace where ground level is 999 ft above sea level.
