James Cameron Spills the Details From His Deep Dive 43
gbrumfiel writes "James Cameron has released the first batch of scientific results from his historic dive in March to bottom of the Mariana trench and an earlier series of test dives in the New Britain Trench. The Mariana Trench dive was the deepest by a human since 1960. Some of the most interesting results came from trips to the seafloor made by robotic vehicles built by Cameron's team. At the bottom of the trench, one of those robots found bizarre carpets of microbes coating rocks, that scientists say may have implications for the origins of life on Earth and other planets."

What!? That would not stop him. For,
His name is James Cameron! The bravest pioneer! No budget too steep, no sea too deep. Whoâ(TM)s that? Itâ(TM)s him! James Cameron!
James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is... James Cameron.

Watch the replay [youtube.com] of his lecture and you'll see a lot more. I was lucky enough to be there; very impressive work.

There's a bizarre carpet of microbes coating my keyboard but nobody seems to want to get closer to study it.
Why is everyone referencing a South Park episode? (Score:3)
When the obvious thing to ask whether he found or not, would be an alien race of water weirds, and if you think he went specifically to retrieve something, well, that would clearly be the nukes out of a downed US sub.

I'm pretty sure those are Russian Water Tentacles. Better send in the SEALs.

Honestly, when I was quoting the Abyss, I never even considered the hentai angle. Now I can never look at that movie the same way...

Like I'm going to ever watch another Cameron movie that tries to explain human origins.

It makes perfect sense... Life originated in the Marianas Trench. Once one of the little fishies was strong enough to swim to the surface, he directed Titanic.

Why always have be "origin of live of earth?" (Score:1)
Can't it just be "it was really neat down there and we found some awesome new bugs"? Does it always have to have implications for the origins of life on earth and other planets?" Stupid press release writers. Come'on - it's the frickin' Marriana Trench. You don't have to draw "deeper" implications.
