Where Did Water Come From?

  • Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all super low on water - so where did ours come from and why do we have so much of it? We think our water came from a few unlikely sources: meteorites, space dust, and even the sun.

      Also, as the Earth cools, more water is being reabsorbed by the rock. Our oceans will dry up and the planet will be like Mars. I am not sure if this is supposed to happen before 600 million years from now when the Sun will be so hot it will boil all the water off anyway.
      She said Mars has no water in this episode, but it actually has quite a lot stored in rock, just like Earth. However, Mars' core is dead and all the water has been reabsorbed. It did have surface water and likely oceans at one time.

    This is the best Earth Water story that I have ever watched, even from cinematic space documentary series and cable channel productions. Other documentaries about the origin of water have a feel that the film makers didn't understand the details, and so skipped over most of it. Eons talks about the early sun, gravity, heat, pressure, MINERALS, time limits, and most importantly the acknowledgment that billions of years have affected the evidence left for us to study today.

    The more you learn about how the earth formed it just feels seems more and more improbable. The fact that we exist means these series of improbable events did happen. But the more improbable we find it to be the less likely that complex life is common outside of the solar system. It will be truly fascinating to learn of another life form one day and how they formed.

      Yes, complex life (let alone sentient with the ability to create, not just Think) is likely extremely rare.. not a scientist but would just throw one in a million out there and have someone tell me I am optimistic.. then there is "come and gone" with "wait for it.." making a meeting pretty unlikely.
      Having a moon and tides is possibly the greatest example of "dumb luck" that our little arm of the this galaxy will ever have.. at least as far as complex, somewhat creative and vaguely sentient life is concerned.. 😉😃

      I can get that same kind of feeling from multiverse theory, or, at least, the popular idea of it. Try and picture an infinite array a possibilities, from whether you put on a different shirt this morning to whether Earth never cooled enough for our kind of life to exist, leaving sentience to emerge from, like, interconnected networks of extremophile bacteria. Of all the many ways the history of our planet could have been different, we ended up with the one where we exist, right now, talking to each other. Right now, we're creating that history, and that future, navigating through a tiny, barely-perceived part of an infinite web of possibilities. Life's amazing, is what I'm saying, and it's a miracle it even resembles something familiar.

      Actually if you go into organic chemistry you'll see water giving up it's hydrogens and picking up extras (to later relase one of them at random) quite a lot. The destruction of water molecules is rather rare yes but it has quite a lot of turnover in the hydrogen atoms.
      It's more correct to say that the oxygen atoms involved in water tend to stay as part of water, the hydrogen atoms are more fickle.

    • @DaDunge
      @DaDunge ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Actually she got it slightly wrong. It's not the Pressure it's the pressure of water vapour alone. Each evaporaiton/condensation pairing depends only on it's own pressure as a gas compared to it's temperature as gas and liquid. If we said filled the atmosphere with Argon (which is pretty much intert) we'd not see a drop more rainfall.
      Thus it's because Earth was so hot after it's colision with Theia that the water vapour pressure could get so high, it was so warm it kept evaporating water even at super high pressures. Until the pressure got so high or the temperature dipped low enough that this equilibrium started shifting the other way and condensation overcame evaporaiton.
      It's why if we sent water the venus it would not fall as rain, because hwile the Pressure there is likely a lot like the hadean period, it's relative pressure for water vapour is low because if the lack of water in it's atmosphere.

    We can suppose that Mars had water similar to Earth, but that it lost its magnetic field and most of its atmosphere, with any water boiling away to space. But I don't think this explanation works for Venus, which still has a very dense atmosphere.

      This model explains why earth was once super hot (it was a star)
      And it explains why earth was also once covered in water.
      Earth used to look more like Neptune.
      In the future it'll look more like mars/venus and eventually the moon/mercury - once earths volcanic activity stops regenerating our atmosphere, the oceans have evaporated and the atmosphere blasted away by solar wind.
