Interesting idea, and changes some of the ideas of the water cycle.

    I would assume bound in some way, as they said: "His team has previously found evidence of massive amounts of water some 600 kilometres down, mixed in with rock." Also with temperatures going up the deeper you go, I would say it would have to be in some form of a gas or definitely tied or bound to some mineral.

    In Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (mentioned in the article), there was an ocean near the dead center with a prehistoric sea monster in it plus a handy volcano that will ride all the way to the top and spit you out.

    Water, water everywhere and some is good to drink. After all this time, there are still places on earth that we have yet to discover. If old Yaweh is real, he (it?) sure gave us a great gift when he created the earth. (Messed up a lot, otherwise.)

    This finding has implications most of you would never imagine. Though the article didn't say whether this water was liquid, or bound as hydrates.

    +1 for questioning, to question is good.
    Latest from the Electric Universe...the stuff is everywhere...
    The sun is electric plasma and if you could get by it, say maybe into a coronal hole...with the right kind of suit, you could survive...it's no hot on the surface.
    There is a faction in the Electric universe folks that take things too far but the main theory seems to be dead on...it's an on going study but they seem to be nipping at the heals of the lamestream.

    Indeed, so. If there is enough that can be made available, colonization gets a lot closer. Maybe then we can pack up and create something worth having, over our current cesspool.

    Scientists are finding water in the most unexpected location. On Mars and in middle earth. Next they'll find it on the Moon and Venus and the dark side of Mercury.
    It may be more abundant than we think. Could bode well for interstellar exploration and life on other planets.
