Wait that's crazy that I've neeeever heard of these before? Like finding Nemo hellooooo why wasnt this in it?? This is sick

Ocean Pog crazy to think about how far we went into space but only made it about 10 km deep into the sea.

MUSHROOM, also super excited for the marine arc

Crazy that we know so little about the Ocean

Dakota Sanders

Im down for calling Oarfish sea serpents, I get it honestly

So I was curious to find out what "we've only explored 10% of the oceans" means. Like, what is the definition of "exploring" here? Turns out, we have mapped all of the oceans using satellites, but they have a very poor resolution of about 3 miles or so, so anything smaller than three miles can't be seen on that. It's good for mapping out those massive geographic features like underwater mountains Maya talked about, and it means we can be pretty sure that the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the ocean (because otherwise it'd need to be, like, a small super deep hole in the ocean floor which would be weird). But we have only mapped about 20-25% of the oceans with sonar imagery which has a better resolution of 100 meters or less. (It was 10% only about a decade ago, we are making good progress on this). People are hoping to have mapped out the ocean floor fully by 2030 at this resolution. By comparison, we have had 100m resolution maps of Mars and Venus for a long time and we have maps of the moon at a resolution of 7m. But all of that would only get us a decent understanding of the ocean floor geologically, and maybe help find ship wrecks and such. In terms of exploring deep ocean life, it's actually much less than that-- that's really limited to the occasional submersible deep dive. Imagine trying to get a handle on what surface sealife is like from having gone scuba diving like 50 times across the globe.

also, this is pretty wild and could be a fun episode if there's enough to talk about here-- scientists just revived a worm that was frozen in Siberia for 46,000 years and it started reproducing. maybe not enough on this specific worm for a whole episode but it could be a good educational piece on permafrost thawing and on the one hand releasing methane and on the other hand also thawing random ancient organisms and viruses that might revive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/07/27/nematode-revived-siberian-permafrost/

The ocean is incredible and terrifying I’d love to learn more

melmo

loved the ocean facts

Simon Hanson

Do you know why they are called doomsday fish? I read few articles about it and people making out its a bad omen or something haha.

Shirley Grace

The only reason I know about oarfish is because of a tapping video game that explored ocean life. The fact that there have been TWO encounters with oarfish in the past month has made a few scientists concerned about the state of the oceans.

Ash

I first learned about them from animal crossing and I've been obsessed ever since

Mitch Mitcherson

Giant Squids are pretty wild too. Another great episode, the bonus Mushroom content was nice 😊

Darren Hertenstein

There could be a whole civilization of water people down there that think we're crazy because we breathe poisonous air!

Yeah I was gonna say, that fishing pole in AC must be long if it can catch one of these lol

bakedLaska

I only know about oarfish because of animal crossing

Katariina

My favourite episode so far! The ocean is fascinating

Bailey

this just convinced me mermaids are definitely real

Limelight

I have always loooved learning about the deep!

Dindonmasker

there are some really cool VR experiences to go explore the deep sea. one i really like that is more story based is called biolum it's sold on steam for like $5. i highly recommend it!
