The deep sea is like a cathedral of quiet. In those silent pockets, we’ve found that pressure shapes life in ways we’re only just beginning to understand. The organisms there have evolved almost no sound – their movements and communications are almost invisible. My research shows that even in that stillness, there’s a hidden symphony of chemical signals and slow, deliberate motions that keep ecosystems humming. It’s a reminder that silence can be just as rich and mysterious as any song.
