What's the timeline here?
As the EM Field
becomes more and more unstable,
we'll start seeing
isolated incidents.
One plane will fall from the
sky, and then two, and then...
in a few months, anything...
everything electronic will be fried.
Static discharges in the atmosphere
will create "super-storms"
with hundreds of lightening strikes
per square mile.
After that, it gets bad.
The Earth's EM Field
shields us from the solar winds,
which are a lethal blend of...
radioactive particles
and microwaves.
When that shield collapses,
microwave radiation will
literally cook our planet.
This is the Sun.
This is the Earth...
without the EM Field.
Would you?
Three months, gentlemen,
and we're back in the Stone Age.
A full year, the field collapses...
and that.
May I?
Feel free to throw up.
I know I did.
So, how do we fix it?
We can't.
Not in my vocabulary.
Then you might want to get one of those
Word-A-Day calendars, General
because it's impossible.
The core is the size
of Mars.
You're talking about
jump-starting a planet.
This is a superheated
hyper-fluid
of molten iron and nickel
at 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit,
2,000 miles down,
1,000 miles thick.
And the deepest we've ever been
is... seven miles
with a two-inch drill bit.
If we can go into space,
we...
Well, space is easy. It's empty.
We're talking about millions of
pounds of pressure per square inch.
Even if we somehow came up with
a brilliant plan to fix the core
we just can't get there.
Yes, but...
...what if we could?
