As a species, we've always been discoverers and adventurers, and space and the deep ocean are some of the last frontiers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In science fiction, we're always searching for new frontiers. We're drawn to the unknown.
The amazing thing about the sea is that it is perhaps the last truly unexplored frontier; most oceanographers estimate that only about ninety-five per cent of the sea has been studied. Meanwhile, the oceans are believed to contain more animals than exist on land, a majority of which have never been discovered.
New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
We've explored very little of the ocean. We really don't know what's out there. But people think we've figured it all out.
We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It's as alien as going to outer space.
Science is our last and greatest frontier.
The ocean is the last frontier of human empirical knowledge; even the contours on that eighth-grader's globe are the product of a mix of scientific measurement, inference and conjecture.
We've only explored about five percent of our ocean. There are great discoveries yet to be made down there, fantastic creatures representing millions of years of evolution and possibly bioactive compounds that could benefit us in ways that we can't even yet imagine.
It's our human nature to explore. Tens of thousands of years ago, our species walked out of Africa, traveling far and wide across the entire planet, from the Arctic to the tip of Tierra Del Fuego, making us the most geographically diversified species on Earth.
We may have charted all the continents on the planet, and we may have discovered all the mammals, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing left to explore on Earth.
