There Is Liquid Water Over 400 Miles Below Earth’s Surface

A new report published today in Science suggests that pockets of liquid water may exist up to 500 miles beneath Earth’s surface—far deeper that previous estimates. This conclusion was reached after scientists discovered a rare form of crystalized water known as ice VII in diamond samples recovered in Africa and China. These ice VII samples are the first time this form of crystalized water has been seen in nature and led the International Mineralogical Association to declare ice VII as a new type of mineral.

Incredibly, the researchers claim it is possible to determine the content of the memory being processed by analyzing this brain activity.
