The Role of Sulfur in the Evolution of Life on Earth
2:46:41 - 2:52:35 (05:53)
The assumption that evolution works slowly over billions of years is challenged with the idea that a huge diversity of animals were created in a short amount of time due to sulfur instead of oxygen in the atmosphere. This theory is imperative in explaining the paradox of mass balance in the air and oceans of the Earth.
