Earth’s Secret Ocean Discovered, Holds More Water Than The Surface

Scientists have been puzzling over the supposed existence of a secret ocean of this nature for years, with a number of researchers estimating that the water molecules exist in a state of matter outside of our comprehension. According to a recently published dossier on the findings, the water stored within the mantle rock exists in a sponge-like state, defying our usual understanding of basic solid, liquid, and gas.

This sponge-like nature is due to the soaking abilities of the ringwoodite, which crystallizes hydrogen into a series of porous minerals, trapping water inside.
