Where IS all the oxygen?

Most people don't realise where all the oxygen is. Do you know?

[black_thunder]

so you're telling me earth isn't filled with lava but a bunch of silly cats??

[WifeWantsAWizard]

For those of you who are wondering, second place is "silicon" at 28%. The ready abundance is part of the reason why the revolution of silicone construction materials is so vital to our modern world.

[andrewjuby]

We're so used to it being a part of the air around us that we forget that oxygen is *super* reactive.

[cslloyd]

Same for the moon. Spectacular amounts of Oxygen on the moon. Just not in breathable form

[thefoxguy]

"wait a min, gotta mine some air real qick!"

[flowckey]

"I can't breathe"
"Eat rocks"

[fastyou]

"(...) down there." (points at groin)

You look like a 90% true copy of my old physics teacher. Hair, outfit, glasses, excitement for science. Haha seems to be a universal go together

[GDT-Studio]

Why is this channel not famous? This is pretty entertaining, in my opinion.

[feraudyh]

My wife, Kate, is silly. She's a breath of fresh air.

[SwordTune]

That's why oxygen in an atmosphere would be a remarkable sign of life.

[punkpanther]

that "no" buzz sound is so satisfying

[VikingTeddy]

Whoa! I thought it was all in that thin strip of atmosphere.

So, hypothetically. If for some weird reason we needed some of that mantle oxygen, could we mine it?

[Clock_Man_]

“I’m running out of air!”

“Breathe sand instead”

[chetus]

I totally LOVE the "Wrong" sound used here.. Its like something a retro video game would use. Really scratches an itch I didn't know I had!

[Fran-orlt]

So much oxygen! Yet I’m still out of breath walking up the stairs.

[Methodician]

I am completely in shock. I have always sought out an exploratory wide-ranging comprehension of the planet and universe and this completely caught me off guard.

[DS-foed]

Well. When it's fused with other elements it's part of a compound so it's not really free elemental oxygen

[defendukraine]

That's where we want to keep it too

[mpjstuff]

So we have free oxygen only because it maxed out all the things it could bond with, rust and corrode? Dang that is so metal.
