Like his peers, geophysicist Steven Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed that water on Earth originated from comets. But by studying rocks, which allow scientists to peer back in time, he discovered water hidden inside ringwoodite, which lies in the Earth’s mantle, and which suggests that the oceans gradually made its way out of the planet’s interior many centuries ago.
美國西北大學(xué)地球物理學(xué)家史蒂文·雅各布森曾認為，地球上的水源于彗星。但通過對巖石的研究，他發(fā)現(xiàn)地幔的林伍德石里面也藏有水，這一發(fā)現(xiàn)表明或許在N個世紀之前，海洋是從地球內(nèi)部自己慢慢溢出來的。
“I had a pretty hard time convincing others,” he admits. Yet two key pieces of evidence uncovered this year seem to support his point of view. Time will tell whether the new theories are true, and there may be further twists to the tale. “But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn’t happen very often,” he says. “When it does it’s thrilling.”
