This video discusses the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, a slit located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean that is over 11,000 feet deep. The video explores the unknown life forms that exist in this abyss, despite the harsh conditions of extreme pressure and near-zero light.
Jacques Piccard, a Swiss researcher, was the first to venture into the Mariana Trench in 1960. Despite only staying for 20 minutes due to the intense pressure, his team observed signs of life in the abyss. Piccard noted that the atmosphere is a thousand times denser than in the rest of the ocean, making it unlike swimming in any other part of the sea.
In 1985, an American vessel, the Glomar Challenger, sent a device to explore the trench. However, the device was destroyed after being pulled from the water, leading to speculation about unknown sea creatures. Some believe it could have been a prehistoric animal known as the Megalodon.
In 2012, filmmaker James Cameron explored the Mariana Trench himself, spending 70 minutes submerged in a specially designed submarine. Despite the darkness and extreme cold, he confirmed the existence of life forms in the abyss, including bacteria, invertebrates, and molluscs.
The video concludes by emphasizing the mystery surrounding the Mariana Trench, with many unknown creatures and unanswered questions about its inhabitants. The video encourages viewers to share their thoughts and ideas in the comments section.
