“I admit it’s a stretch. But you’ve just proved I might be on to something. We have a creature that doesn’t have a large enough methane source to be as big as it is. Maybe we’re not looking deep enough.”
~An excerpt from Sleep of Reason



THE REAL SCIENCE:
As well as helping to explain the origins of methane deep beneath Earth's surface, the study could also shed light on the presence of methane on other bodies in the solar system. For example, methane is known to exist on Mars and Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus.
