00:00When it's summer, the sea is automatically the top destination for Filipinos to swim in the water.
00:05But did you know that not all parts of the sea are cold?
00:08There are also parts that boil because of the heat.
00:12And this is the story of Amazing No. 1.
00:14And Spot Under the Sea.
00:17Our planet is a world of extremes.
00:22There are places that if you think about it, it's impossible for them to survive
00:26just like the hot lava of acid.
00:29Or in the deepest part of the ocean.
00:32But believe it or not, there are some that survive.
00:36Just a quick recap.
00:40If you live on Earth, your source of energy is probably the sun
00:45through photosynthesis or its product.
00:51If not, you're probably an extremophile
00:54who lives in the hot lava under the sea.
00:57It was only discovered in 1977
01:00when man began to study the deepest part of the ocean.
01:06All of this looks like an alien.
01:09Even the octopuses.
01:11The water here is almost frozen.
01:15The pressure is also very high.
01:18The volcanic eruptions are caused by very hot water and toxic chemicals.
01:26But these are the favorite vent shrimps that live here.
01:31They live in the Goldilocks Zone,
01:33the boundary that freezes and boils water.
01:39These shrimps are very active.
01:43The question is, where does their energy come from?
01:49The answer is from the bacteria that live
01:52with the help of chemicals from the small volcanoes.
01:58This is called chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis.
02:03But the bacteria don't eat the shrimps.
02:06They live in their eggs and intestines,
02:09so they get nutrients.
02:12In their world, they don't need the sun.
02:17There are many scientists who believe
02:20that life began with dark and hot chemicals.
02:25And the ability to adjust to the sun's heat
02:28is the real innovation of aliens.
