It feels like there have been staggering science stories emerging every other day recently...
First, there was the discovery of a terrifying black hole pointing right at us, then there was a huge hole found in the sun and a missing continent found after going missing for 375 years.
Now, people are only just realising that there’s a massive ocean hidden under the Earth’s crust.
It turns out there’s a huge supply of water 400 miles underground stored in rock known as 'ringwoodite'.
...
Scientists previously discovered that water is stored inside mantle rock in a sponge-like state, which isn’t a liquid, solid or a gas, but instead a fourth state.
The scientific paper titled ‘Dehydration melting at the top of the lower mantle’ .
...
"The ringwoodite is like a sponge, soaking up water, there is something very special about the crystal structure of ringwoodite that allows it to attract hydrogen and trap water,"..
"This mineral can contain a lot of water under conditions of the deep mantle,”
...
we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades."
Scientists made the findings at the time after studying earthquakes and discovering that seismometers were picking up shockwaves under the surface of the Earth.
From that, they were able to establish that the water was being held in the rock known as ringwoodite.
If the rock contained just 1 per cent water, it would mean that there is three times more water under the surface of the Earth than there is in the oceans on the surface.

Not to mention the oceans of oil.
the fountains of the great deep burst forth
Could this be the water of the great flood that “SOMEBODY” soaked up with a big sponge and put under the feet of mankind? Now wouldn’t that be interesting.
Found by? Arne Saknussemm?
Which long supports my firm belief in a Creator and utterly disproving these dolts who for the last hundred years say water is a scarce resource and we’re running out of oil.
Oil and natural gas are probably limitless and are renewed deep in the earth’s crust. Now we find water in abundance there too. We have all that we need to live provided by our Creator.
The H2O in ringwoodite is "locked up" in the same way that hardened concrete contains water, and it would be about as difficult to release it.
If you believe that God is truly "all mighty," why not simply posit that He "materialized" the water ex nihilo?
Regards,
The first paragraph shed the fallacy of this article and I stopped reading. Regarding the title, I say bullshit!! If this was the case, we would have known about it a year or to after GPR was invented....
Yeah, and that's probably where all the bones of the fish who drowned in the Great Flood are hidden. Here's the rest of the Ringwoodite keyword, sorted:
Of course there is. Where do you think the mole people get their water from?
How delightfully disrespectful.
And they just found it? C’est incroyable.

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing
GPR at its best can only penetrate a few thousand meters. This “water” is a little bit deeper than that.

Drilling down 400 miles IS a bit of a problem.
400 miles of drill pipe would be heavy!
