@Coloma

Cuuuttteee ! :D

I wonder what funnier looking creatures are nearer to the bottom o_O

@rojo

Trying to be funny thanks, I’m actually curious to know…. I don’t think you actually believe SpongBob lives in a pineapple…. but I guess thanks for the attempt?

@AloraCrimson I sent you a PM.

Ok, here is a video of the bottom of the Mariannas Trench; about as deep as you can go. What you can see is silt, small rocks, weird sea creatures (both vertebrate in inverebrate) and, if you look real close, in the background what may be a pineapple.

ok, So I made up the last part, but the rest is real

Once you get down below the twilight zone where no light penetrates what life does exist must be able to do so under rather harsh conditions and without the benefits derived from sunlight, so most things seem to be shades of grey and mostly mouth.

Sand, rocks, and whale poop.

People have gone down to look at some parts, but there is not just one “the bottom”. Most of the planet’s surface is ocean, and all of it has a bottom, and most of it we haven’t gone to see, and it is dark.

Yes there are volcanoes and creatures that are adapted to live down there under tremendous pressure and no light. Some of them are also adapted to live right near geothermal vents.

There are some good articles and documentaries on some of the findings.

So yes, some people really know some things. We don’t know everything, not by a long shot.

We know more about outer space than we do about our own oceans. Have you heard of “The Bloop”? A strange noise picked up on sonar a few years ago, that they assume was some unknown oceanic animal. Still unidentified.

It’s water, all the way down and life, but not as we know it.

So interesting… thanks guys for your answers…. I wonder what’s down there…. ahh… we may never know….... there must be some really weird creatures down there…? Because where there is water there’s life right?

All the gods and demons that were pushed into retirement as society marched on. I bet they have helluva party down there.

Always thought these were cool but that could just be because I’m a rock geek.

@Espiritus_Corvus Damn I wanna go there now!

@Sneki2 These sculptures are found on the bottom of almost all the world’s oceans now. One of the first sculpture gardens, and one of the largest, is just off the island of Cozumel, site of a large, ancient Mayan fertility temple off the Caribbean side of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. As a linguist, you would find the Spanish spoken there very interesting as it is still laced with ancient Mayan words and phrases.

I’m sending you my complete Somerset Maugham folder in a few minutes.

@AloraCrimson Ummm… just drop me off at the next dock. And you’re gonna need a bigger boat.

A lot of guys wearing cement boots.

Water, all the way up.

I love reading about the Mariannas Trench. Fascinating that life actually thrives in a place where science would say it’s impossible, if they hadn’t seen if for them selves.
It echos of the beginning of life in my mind. Life began in the absence of oxygen.

And to add to someone’s point above that there is no one bottom: The bottom of the ocean is just like the geography on dry earth. You have mountains and valleys and volcanoes, all the things that dry earth has.
