Why The Discovery Of Dark Oxygen Gives Us A New Solution To The Fermi Paradox
332Some of the wildest things humanity has ever stumbled upon were found in the depths of space and the mysterious bottom of the ocean. Recently, while diving 13,000 feet down in the Pacific Ocean, dark oxygen was mysteriously discovered in the terrifying darkness. And no, dark oxygen isn't the opposite of oxygen like dark matter; it's just a source of oxygen that shouldn't be there. Since the hunt for alien biospheres has mostly been about searching for oxygen deposits, this discovery might just help answer one of science’s biggest questions: How does this accidental find give us a new angle on the Fermi Paradox? Let’s find out!
A big challenge moving forward in the search for alien life, especially now that we have the James Webb, is figuring out which gases really signal a biosphere. The tricky part is that a lot of gases life on Earth produces aren’t just from living things. Methane and sulfur dioxide, for example, can also come from geological processes, so they don't cut it as biosignatures. Sure, sulfur dioxide can be made by biology, but in many places in the solar system, you’ll find it from non-living sources. So, it can’t really stand alone as proof of life. Volcanoes make it, industries pump it out, and even chemical reactions can create it. It’s all around! That’s the big issue: biology, volcanoes, and chemical reactions all churn out similar gases. The key is to pinpoint the gases that biology produces that nature doesn’t, and then look for another gas that seems out of place and go from there. Stay with us as we explore the recently discovered source of oxygen, and what it means for the Fermi Paradox.
