Oh god I can hear the tempo of the panic music picking up...

Has only read the title.
Well done dear Sir/Madam you made me read it, turned out to be interesting. Kudos.
This could be a truly amazing discovery 💡
Also casts doubt on markers discovered showing possible life on other planets. We missed a source of oxygen creation on our own planet. Who's to say there aren't other ways that both methane and carbon dioxide are present on other planets.
(I'm certain there's life on other planets. This just makes it less likely that a planets with all the signs is one of those planets)
Methane’s a lot more complex of a molecule to occur on its own though
Last article I read said of the three gasses, methane was the most common to occur without needing life to make it.
Looks like you were downvoted by an anaerobic organism?
Shai hulud!
Aww, come out of there Hulud
There's someone out there who downvotes every single post they read.
We're in a simulation that has aquarium infrastructure
Oh no, we've discovered the under gravel filter!

Its the alien vents that lead back to the Primary Containment Facility.
If this is coming from metals in these rocks forming electrochmical cells, they should've corroded away long time ago. Maybe there's some unknown process that recovers metallic elements back from salts? Maybe some bacteria? Even if, then why? It costs a lot of energy to do this.
Usually putting together metal and water you get metal-oxide and hydrogen gas.
m + H~2~O → mO + H~2~
What they discover is a unusual zone where they have both oxygen (dissolved) and metal. So, i guess they have the reverse process :
m~x~O~y~ + energy → (x)m + (y/2)O~2~
They should measure electrical field intensity in the water near the sea floor to evaluate electrical current going through the sea floor from the ocean.
I have zero knowledge related to this but wild speculation, could the core be leaking it into the mantle and up? Iirc its iron nickel and oxygen
I suddenly realized that for eight years I’d been ignoring this potentially amazing new process, 4,000 metres down on the ocean floor
Makes you wonder what strange things are happening right in front of us, if only we looked with the right tools.
I've been ignoring this process my whole life, I'm afraid.
There's only one response: We've got to drop the big one. We have got to nuke the ocean.
What use is a bomb that doesn’t explode, anyway?
Yeah dude, we've all seen The Abyss.
Hey you. Do you know what "God" means? The people around here, you see, don't really believe in God. Instead, do you know what it is they believe in? It's this place. The Abyss itself. Because the bottom of the Abyss/Netherworld is unknown, and since they're afraid of it, it replaces their god.
Relevant quote from Ozen the Immovable in Made in Abyss.
Thanks for that unpleasant reminder lol
