How moon controls release of methane in Arctic Ocean, new study ANI | Updated: Dec 15, 2020 08:45 IST
Oslo [Norway], December 15 (ANI): A study lead by University in Tromso (UIT) The Arctic University of Norway has claimed that the moon has a role to play in controlling the amount of methane gas released by the Arctic Ocean.
The Arctic Ocean, according to various researches leaks enormous amounts of the potent greenhouse gasmethane which have been ongoing for thousands of years but could be intensified by a future warmer ocean. The potential for this gas to escape the ocean, and contribute to the greenhouse gas budget in the atmosphere, is an important mystery that scientists are trying to solve.

“Fine-tuning” can be applied to biology, not just physics
Thorvaldsen and Hössjer approached the subject by looking at the concept of fine-tuning. In physics, this is the process in which parameters of a model must be adjusted very precisely in order to fit with certain observations.
The use of fine-tuning in physics has led to the discovery that the fundamental constants and quantities fall into an extraordinarily precise range. Had these not fallen into this range, then the origin and evolution of the universe as it exists today would not have happened.
“Fine-tuning has received much attention in physics, and it states that the fundamental constants of physics are finely tuned to precise values for a rich chemistry and life permittance,” they write. “It has not yet been applied in a broad manner to molecular biology.”
