The hustle of every-day life takes place underneath the surface of the ocean instead of on land. The shrinking ice caps that David Kramer talked about in the Physics Today magazine have all melted. “The melting of the Antarctic ice cap may have reached the point of no return and threatens to raise sea levels by more than three metres, according to a new study.” Now the world is covered in water. There is no longer land available to live on. Phil Pauley designed a self-sustaining dome for people and animals to live beneath the surface of the ocean in a glass and steel dome. “Phil Pauley says that he has dreamed about building an underwater city for the past 20 years, and has now released images of what the futuristic development might look like.”

They attempted to put the glue on the composite before and after entering the water. Each attempt failed as the glue washed away as soon as it touched the water. Liquids disperse as soon as they touch other liquids, so the glue dispersed into the ocean. Soon after the last attempt to fix the steel panels, Alexander Dome City had a town meeting. In the meeting they had to decide either to leave or to keep trying to fix the steel panels. The rich people of Alexander Dome City did not want to leave their luxurious lives under the waves. The people decided to let the scientists keep trying to fix the dome. The very next day, ocean water started to seep through the steel panels. The droplets were small, but over time grew into a major problem. None of the ways the scientists attempted had worked. The dome city would eventually be filled with water from the ocean. By the time that the mayor decided to evacuate the city, the water was rushing through the steel panels. The people of the Alexander Dome City remembered a story they used to be told about a great ocean liner that traveled on the water named the Titanic. The Titanic hit an iceberg and started to take on water; many of the people on the ocean liner died. The situation that Alexander Dome City is in was the same situation that the Titanic was in during the year of 1912. The disaster at Alexander Dome City happens over 1100 years after the disaster on the Titanic. The mayor of the dome city started to evacuate everyone starting with the rich, women, and children. Many of the people did make it, but most of the people that couldn’t swim while waiting on the submarine to return died. Families were separated as the submarines filled up. Children were being held by strangers as their parents passed them into the submarines. It was a chaotic day as the people of Alexander Dome City left their homes to try to escape the rush of
