Dark Oxygen & Electric Rocks: The Ocean Just Changed Science Forever

Scientists just stumbled upon a mind-blowing discovery in the deep ocean—rocks that generate oxygen without sunlight. Found in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), these polymetallic nodules are not only packed with valuable metals but also produce oxygen geologically—completely rewriting what we thought we knew about oxygen production.

🔹 Dark Oxygen – The shocking revelation that oxygen isn’t just from photosynthesis.
🔹 Seafloor Batteries? – These deep-sea rocks carry an electrical charge similar to a battery.
🔹 Geological Electrolysis – A natural process splitting seawater into hydrogen and oxygen.
🔹 Life Depends on Them – Half of all deep-sea megafauna in the CCZ rely on these nodules.
🔹 What Else Don’t We Know? – If oxygen can be produced geologically, what other hidden processes exist?

Could this change our understanding of ocean ecosystems, planetary science, and even extraterrestrial life? The more we explore, the stranger reality becomes.
