The video discusses the existence of life beneath the Earth's surface, challenging the common perception of Earth as an isolated and lifeless place. It highlights the discovery of microscopic beings living more than 2 km deep, leading to the hypothesis that there may be a vast, hidden ecosystem beneath our feet.
In 2019, scientists found microbes living in an underground mine almost 3 km deep, where they were found to be reducers of sulfate, indicating that they don't need oxygen to breathe but require sulfate. These microbes have never seen the surface of the Earth and have been living underground for millions of years.
The video also mentions a discovery in Antarctica, where a subglacial lake was found containing about 10,000 bacterial cells per milliliter, indicating the presence of life in extreme conditions.
The video concludes by suggesting that the existence of these deep-living microbes implies life could exist on other planets under similar extreme conditions. It also mentions a theory suggesting that life on Earth may have started in the underground, challenging the common belief that life started in the sea.
The video encourages viewers to subscribe to the channel and share it with others, implying that this content is part of a larger effort to explore and understand the hidden life on Earth and potentially in the universe.
1. There is a gigantic ecosystem beneath the Earth's surface, housing several unknown beings.
2. Scientists have discovered microscopic beings living more than 2 km deep underground.
3. The underground world is not just a place to sustain life on the Earth's surface but can support more life than the Earth's surface.
4. The underground world is estimated to be more alive than imagined, potentially housing more life than the Earth's surface.
5. In 2019, scientists discovered very ancient life deep in the Earth.
6. Some microbes found in an underground mine do not need oxygen to breathe but require sulfate.
7. These microbes have never seen the surface of the Earth and have always lived underground.
8. The discovery of these microbes suggests that there may be beings that live on other planets that would be impossible for us.
9. The discovery of these microbes implies that there could be extremely different forms of life in the universe, including those that breathe sulfate and others that can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, vacuum, toxic gases.
10. There could be around 200 trillion tons of living beings living underground, but most of them are microscopic and cannot be seen.
11. The underground biosphere may have twice the size of all the oceans on the planet, potentially having more diversity than the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands.
12. According to a study carried out in 2018, a biosphere with millions of microbes living several kilometers below the Earth was discovered.
13. The underground biosphere has the potential to house more microorganisms than the surface of the Earth.
14. Some types of microbes and extremophiles can live 3 km deep, a place so deep in the Earth that they are even affected by the planet's radiation and magma eruptions.
15. NASA has created an institute to study the life that inhabits us and the life that exists beyond our planet.
16. There is a theory that life on Earth began inside the planet, not on the surface.
