Breathing ancient #oxygen at #MONA, where they liberate it from banded iron formations in their 'Breathe' installation.
A taste of the gas from back when it was corroding a new world into existence

Before the 'Oxygen Apocalypse', Earth was purple, the oceans ferrous, and H₂O's oxygen safely locked away 🟣
Then, bacteria developed a quantum lockpick 🗝️⚡
The seas rusted and the ancients died out. Complex organisms burn the fuel of this cataclysm still, but pay the price by ageing 🦠
This is the story of how symmetry saves us from the flames ⚛️Full post: https://keiran-rowell.github.io/oxygen/2026-04-02-the-oxygen-apocalypse/

Today, molybdenum is one of the most common trace elements in the ocean due to oxidative weathering of #Molybdenite. But in the Archean the oceans were reducing, and molybdenum was scarce.
Other nitrogenases evolved to use other transition elements, but Mo-nitrogenase was first, and best.
Molybdenite enables the Earth's biosphere!

There is nothing so special about this time, seen from the perspective of an immortal. Anything has happened before. Earth doesn't need us.
The only new thing us that humans, in contrast to the #cyanobacteria of the #GreatOxidationEvent, were conscious: -

#ClimateCatastrophe
#ExtinctionLevelEventYes, the only other species known to me to have ever been so stupid as to have destroyed their whole biosphere on a global level, are #cyanobacteria in the #GreatOxidationEvent in the #Paleoproterozoic Era.
2.4 billion years and #humanity collectively has an #IQ of these ancient bacteria.
Maybe, it deserves to become extinct?
Cheers!

Spannend. Weshalb führt ein hermetisch abgeschlossenes System nicht zu einem Überangebot an Sauerstoff wie seinerzeit bei den Cyano-Bakterien im #GreatOxidationEvent?
Vielleicht eine blöde Frage, aber Biounterricht ist lange her...
