Aliens Live In Deep Underground Oceans, Scientists Suggest
In science, water is one of the major indications of life. Scientists discovered an active deep water beneath the Earth's surface. Could this mean that aliens are inhabiting the heart of the Earth?
A report by the NY Post shares that this discovery might be the answer to the everlasting search for alien life. Researchers from the Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois suggest that the Earth's mantle core could be carrying huge bodies of water. These deep waters are found around 1,000 kilometers, or about 620 miles, beneath the Earth's crust.
In a comprehensive interview with the New Scientist, Northwestern University researcher Steve Jacobsen tries to enlighten the people on their recent hypothesis. According to Jacobsen and his colleagues, lifeforms at these bodies of water is possible and since they won't be able to instantly confirm what creatures they may be, the scientists refer to them as aliens.
The search, although it may still look vague for others, could be closer to confirmation with smaller discoveries leading to the bigger ones. For one, the scientists found diamonds in Brazil that existed from at least 90 million years ago and they came from halfway to the Earth's core. The researchers took a deeper examination with these imperfect diamonds and the imperfections, they discovered, were caused by hydroxyl ions that came from water presence.
In an even earlier study, scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and Florida State University have a similar belief that in the core of the Earth, indeed, lies water that is protected by the mineral Brucite, reports The Inquistr.
Meanwhile, the researchers are further contemplating on their discoveries and early proofs to come up with an even clearer conclusion. Should these bodies of water do exist and be capable of providing life, the next question would be: what lies ahead for the relationship between present Earth's creatures and the alien lifeforms underneath the surface of the globe.
