How easy is it to build, equip and support an unlikely object like the
Secret Laboratory of a Mad Scientist, or a dimensional portal?
One Austrian built a cellar and hid and supported a teenage girl for 8
years - nobody found out.
Another Austrian built a cellar and hid and supported an family of
four - eventually an adult woman and two teenagers - for 24 years, all
of it in a household shared with his wife, three grandchildren and I
think more children. No one outside found out and no one inside
managed to escape.
The Secret Laboratory of a Mad Scientist does not necessarily contain
several adults actively trying to escape or needing to be supported at
all times including when it is inconvenient for the mad scientist to
support them.
How does one man build a big, livable cellar without involving any
workers or letting the other residents of household know what is going
on?
Cellars are known to be physically possible. Dimensional portals are
impossible. This means that you could easily conceal a dimensional
portal in a sidewall, ceiling et cetera - you can verify that there
cannot be anything inside. The flagrant impossibility of having
anything big inside a verifiably small volume that contains a
dimensional portal would be helpful in hiding the portal in face of
flagrant evidence that something big did get in and is no longer
found.
How would you rate the problems of building a long-term livable cellar
in the regolith of Moon? What about an airlock into the slope of a
farside crater?
Of course, there are problems like providing qualified medical care
for any persons imprisoned or voluntarily residing in secret hideouts.
