Mar 20, 2015 at 15:24 comment added BrianH @mrwaim That's a very good point! To be able to pull this off successfully you'd need at least a very good understanding of all the physics and geology involved, and it's very unclear as to whether or not these are "chaotic" processes that can't be predicted. In such a case either it's a crap shoot, you'd have to plan for things that could go wrong (like flooding), or you need to build a number of cities the same way around the world with the expectation that they won't all necessarily survive.
Mar 20, 2015 at 9:30 comment added mrwaim There is some hindsight bias here - Looking back, we would find really old caves that preserved well - but could we do the same looking forward? Which of the caves on earth today would survive the next 10 million years?
