WTF is this hyperbolic nonsense article title? It’s ridiculous not only because it wildly oversells the importance of the discovery being reported, but also because it is fundamentally anti-scientific to act as if previous findings are “beliefs” to be “upended” or that rewriting textbooks to reflect new research is anything but routine and expected.

No offense, OP, but get this shit out of here.

The URL didn’t give it away? 🤣

The aliens dropped these oxygen making nodules in the ocean. Kinda like when we fertilize soil.

They made life possible, they started the cycle. Papa bless.
