Science is math and measurement and testable theories. Michael Faraday was doing science. Maxwell was doing science. It wasn't just pie-in-the-sky "here's a cool theory" stuff.
600 million years ago, oxygen may have burst forth.
Please describe the testing which is planned in order to verify this guess.

"600 million years ago, oxygen may have burst forth.
Please describe the testing which is planned in order to verify this guess." The article here does not tell us where they got the data suggesting a huge increase in oxygen levels, from .1% to something similar to today's 20%.
But oxygen levels would leave clues in various chemical processes, from magma to the amount of iron in sedimentary rocks.
The article should at least have mentioned where their data came from.
