The existence of aliens is often claimed around the world. Not only this, many scientists are doing research on the reality of aliens. Now researchers have discovered oxygen in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The scientists who conducted the research have called this oxygen dark oxygen and they believe that this oxygen is connected to aliens. Today we will tell you why the discovery of oxygen in the Pacific Ocean is being linked to aliens.
Dark oxygen in the Pacific Ocean
Let us tell you that Andrew Sweetman of the Scottish Association for Marine Science and experts from Boston University focused on the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in their research. This place is an area spread over 1.7 million square miles between Hawaii and Mexico. This research challenged all those researches and beliefs, which say that as we go down in the sea, the level of oxygen keeps decreasing.
How is oxygen being formed?
According to the information, sunlight does not reach at a depth of more than 12,000 feet. But the research team found that polymetallic nodules, i.e. rock-like structures rich in rare metals, are producing oxygen through a process like electrolysis in the depths of the sea. However, at the beginning of the research, Jeffrey Marlow, a professor of biology at Boston University and co-author of the study, suspected that microbial activity was responsible for oxygen production.
But research has shown that the metals condensed in the nodules separate electrical charges similar to a battery, producing enough energy to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. Scientists have called this phenomenon "Dark Oxygen" This discovery raises questions about the possibility of similar processes on other planets and moons, such as Jupiter’s Europa or Saturn’s Enceladus. Although this "Dark Oxygen" The exact method of production is still unclear, but this discovery opens new avenues for research in astrobiology and deep sea ecology. Apart from this, this research is showing scientists a way, through which they can also see the deep sea as a production instead of just consumption.
Old research on aliens
It is worth noting that even before this, 2 Harvard scientists believed that aliens must have always been on Earth. According to the news of Daily Mail, the team had written in the research that there are no maps of 80 percent of our oceans. They had argued that there is a lot of space for the alleged aliens to live in these places on Earth. It is not necessary that they must have come from another world, they believed that it is possible that they may have been living among us from the beginning.
