Secrets Of The Cosmos Astronomer Bob Berman

Anyway, in the news, they're talking about there's plenty of water, enough water, JC, to supply.

New York for 800 years.

Now the catch to it is off New England, about 2,800 feet deep.

And then that's not in the ocean.

That's going from the bottom of the ocean, the seabed down.

They found water like a sponge and they figured it is from the last ice age.

Yeah, and, you know, I think it also, they think it extends all the way from roughly New York to Maine, like over 200 miles.

Listen, I've seen some videos before of, you know, just little kind of freshwater pockets on the bottom of saltwater.

It's very beautiful.

eerie looking and freaky, but this is underneath what they drilled down to discover, I guess.

Yeah, through the

seabed.

But you could imagine, though, what other parts of this world might have water like

that.

Fresh water.

And that's the thing.

I believe they think, exactly.

Who knows where else around the world that these spots are? Now, my question to you, Gary...

Is it feasible money-wise to access this fresh water in a time of need or is it, you know, the cost outweighs the source?

Well, here's my question to you.

How come when you go to the bottom of the seabed, it's 2,800 feet below that and it's ice left over from the ice age? That's what it is, is ice.

Yeah.

I would say it must be externally cold down here.

But, you know, you got me thinking now, since it's from the ice age, who knows what other microorganisms is in that water, if you think about it, if you know what I mean.

Well, you know, there was a lady who drank water from ice on a glacier up in one of the mountains here recently, and she died within 24 hours.
