The ocean to end all oceans discovered near Earth's core A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth's surface. The finding could help explain where Earth's seas came from. The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies 700 kilometers underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth's surface and its core. The huge size of the reservoir throws new light on the origin of Earth's water. Some geologists think water arrived in comets as they struck the planet, but the new discovery supports an alternative idea that the oceans gradually oozed out of the interior of the early Earth. [New Scientist] Now if only scientists could figure out how magnets work. - - Ryu Spaeth theweek.com/article/index/263158/speedreads-the-ocean-to-end-all-oceans-discovered-near-earths-core#axzz34XnPZvdj

It's funny how these things like the water from comets are all theories and yet they are taught like they're the ultimate, 100% confirmed truth.

BJ: There is always a reason given for things like this. I think the scientific community has a hard time saying they do not know.
