Profound Scientific Discovery: Deep Ocean Floor Rocks Electrolyze Water Producing “Dark Oxygen”
I chat about the implications of a major new scientific discovery which will likely change our views on the origins and development of life on Earth.

Rocks on the bottom of the deep ocean (manganese nodules, or polymetallic nodules) up to the size of potato’s act like batteries and generate enough voltage and current to break down sea water into hydrogen and oxygen.
We thought that oxygen on the Earth is completely derived from plants.
We were wrong.

Scientists find ‘dark oxygen’ being produced from metals on the seafloor - Organisms normally need light to produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis.

Scientists Shocked by Electric Rocks Producing Oxygen in Deep Ocean. The discovery that electric rocks make oxygen challenges the long-held belief that only photosynthetic organisms produce our planet's oxygen.

Peer reviewed paper:
Evidence of dark oxygen production at the abyssal seafloor
Abstract: Deep-seafloor organisms consume oxygen, which can be measured by
in situ benthic chamber experiments. Here we report such experiments
at the polymetallic nodule-covered abyssal seafloor in the Pacific Ocean
in which oxygen increased over two days to more than three times the background concentration, which from ex situ incubations we attribute to the polymetallic nodules. Given high voltage potentials (up to 0.95 V) on nodule surfaces, we hypothesize that seawater electrolysis may contribute to this dark oxygen production.
