The Earth Had Another Owner Before Us — And Webb Found Proof

The Earth Had Another Owner Before Us — And Webb Found Proof

Every history book begins with humans. But Earth is four and a half billion years old. We have been here for a fraction of a fraction of that time. Fifty-six million years ago, something pumped a massive burst of carbon into the atmosphere. The planet heated up fast. Scientists still argue about what did it. And Webb just proved that rocky planets billions of years old can hold onto their atmospheres long after we thought they’d be destroyed. So here is the question. What if something was here before us? We are going to walk through the rock record, the deep ocean, the oldest crystals on the planet, and what Webb is reading in the atmospheres of worlds far away. If you find this mind-bending, like and subscribe — we are just getting started. Prepare yourself. We begin.
