Do We Know More About Space Than The Ocean
Do we know more about space or the ocean.
Do we know more about space than the ocean. But don t click away yet because that doesn t really get to the point at hand. We only know a tiny bit about earth s vast oceans. Space is infinite and there s no possible way we know as much about it right.
Despite centuries of ocean exploration we. When the line you were quoting was made science was trying to drum up the interest and investment in mapping the whole ocean and exploring parts that look interesting. We can count stars and tell which direction they are heading and even identify that some stars have planets.
Well the answer might surprise you. Considering that we don t know how big space is or even if there s just one universe we can say with reasonable certainty that we probably know more about the ocean than we do about the cosmos. We have better maps of the surface of mars than we do of our own ocean floor and we understand more about the dark side of the moon than ocean life.
Although many scientists do believe that there s much more of the universe to explore comparing 13 billion lightyears to the ocean only being seven miles deep underscores how much technology has developed for space exploration rather than ocean exploration.
