![“Before the discovery of these [underwater] vents, all life on Earth, the key to life on Earth, was believed to be the sun and photosynthesis. But down there, there is no sun, there is no photosynthesis; it's chemosynthetic environment down there driving it, and it's all so ephemeral.” quote by Mike deGruy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f4b/mike-degruy-62137_chemistry_before-the-discovery-of-these-underwater_1280363.jpg)
