Scientists Reached the Bottom of the Mariana Trench— What They Found Changes Energy and Life Forever

Scientists Reached the Bottom of the Mariana Trench — What They Found Changes Energy and Life Forever China's Fendouzhe submersible went to the floor of the Mariana Trench and brought back mud packed with 7,564 kinds of microbes, nearly 90 percent of them new to science. In this video, we follow that discovery and what it could mean for you, from cells that repair themselves under crushing pressure to the snailfish that survives 7,000 meters down. You'll see why metal rich nodules and fire ice on the Pacific floor could reshape the battery and energy race, why the United States and China are taking such different paths in the deep, how the trench helps NASA hunt for life on Europa, and how plastic was waiting at the bottom when Victor Vescovo got there. #MarianaTrench #DeepSea #ChallengerDeep #DeepSeaMining #OceanScience #ScienceDocumentary Mariana Trench, Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench discovery, Fendouzhe, MEER project, deep sea microbes, hadal zone, hadal snailfish, polymetallic nodules, deep sea mining, methane hydrate, fire ice, Clarion Clipperton Zone, Europa Clipper, shadow biosphere, the Bloop, Victor Vescovo, ocean plastic pollution, deepest part of the ocean, deep sea documentary, ocean mysteries, science documentary
