Mysterious hole found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean
Aliens or not? Or the site of an ancient civilization?
Human beings have a feeling of familiarity and strangeness with the ocean.
In order to expand the scope of human exploration of the oceans, countries are working on seabed probes to discover new faces of the deep world.
In the process, many unexplained phenomena have been discovered.
Among them is a mysterious hole found at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
When people saw this, two ideas came into their minds, one is the remains of an alien civilization, the other is a prehistoric civilization.
So what are these mysterious holes?
A hole in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean
An American underwater probe, on the ocean floor north of the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, found something it had never seen before.
The holes were found at a depth of 2,500 meters. Instead of being circular, they look like the marks of a knife that was inserted and then pulled out.
The holes were arranged in a neat line, with equal distances between them, as if they had been drilled by some human mind.
What's more, there is more than one such hole on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. Four more have been found in another part of the ocean 483 kilometers away, at a depth of about 1,600 meters.
The hole was found in the mid-east part of the Atlantic Ocean, near the famous Atlantic Ridge.
This ridge is the junction of the American plate with the African and Eurasian plates, mainly in the state of expansion.
The hole in particular looks like a type of breeches used to thread a needle and connect the two plates.
Or maybe the holes look a bit like the street drains in some countries, the undersea drains, which are strange at any rate.
The discovery of a mysterious hole in the Atlantic caused an immediate uproar. In the scientific community, such a strange hole had never been found in the bottom of the sea.
The first thing that comes to mind is aliens.
Alien ruins
Why do people always say aliens are responsible for anything they can't explain?
This is because in the minds of most people, alien civilizations are more advanced than Earth civilizations.
Human technology is indeed very powerful on Earth, but in the universe is not necessarily.
According to the hierarchy of civilizations in the universe, higher civilizations have the ability to create lower civilizations, so many people believe that the birth of human civilization was due to the intervention of aliens.
And those unexplained phenomena may be the remnants of alien involvement in the transformation of human civilization.
For example, the pyramids are believed to be the signal towers left on Earth by aliens, the Mayans who created a splendid culture were picked up by aliens, and so on.
So what are these holes in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, remnants of aliens?
Some people believe that the holes in the Atlantic Ocean are likely to be the marks left by advanced alien civilizations when they designed the Earth's plates.
It's like sewing clothes. We have a lot of sewing machine threads on our clothes, stitching pieces of fabric together to make a garment.
In the same way, we can think of the Earth's crust as a garment, and the holes are its needle and thread eyes.
But others argue that our Earth's plates have undergone many shifts.
The Atlantic Ocean, for example, began to form during the Jurassic period, about 185 million years ago, and has since expanded to become what it is today, suggesting that aliens didn't start out as sewn as they are today.
Supporters say this is evidence of that.
Maybe some fish
Some fish scientists, however, think it may be the work of some deep-sea fish.
The hole was found between 1,600 and 2,500 meters below the sea floor, a depth inaccessible to humans but only by robots.
But for fish, this depth is not a problem at all. Fish can be found at depths of more than 8,000 meters.
Some of the most exotic species of deep-sea fish are those that like to hide in the sand and cosplay with kelp and seaweed to confuse prey and avoid predators.
These holes could be the work of some hairtail fish that lived here for a while and then migrated away, leaving these traces behind.
The animals' own mistakes are not unheard of.
About the Creator
Microbiota, microbiome or microflora: how to speak correctly and why it is for health.
You've probably heard the phrase, "We are what we eat." But modern science says more precisely: we are also those who live in us. Until 2016, it was believed that there are many times more bacteria in our body than our own cells. The latest calculations by mathematicians show that we divide the body with our microorganisms by about 50/50: about 30 trillion of our cells versus 38 trillion bacterial ones.

Chinese EVs Closing In on America After Canadian Tariffs Deal
The electric vehicle race is no longer just about climate goals or consumer choice — it has become a geopolitical contest. And in early 2026, a subtle but powerful move by Canada may have tilted the board. By agreeing to sharply reduce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, Canada has opened a door that the United States has worked hard to keep shut. While Chinese EVs are still largely barred from the American market, they are now edging closer than ever — not by crossing the border directly, but by entering through Canada. This development raises a pressing question: Are Chinese EVs closing in on America, and what does that mean for the future of North American auto markets? The Deal That Changed the Game Canada’s new agreement with China allows up to 49,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles per year to enter the Canadian market at a tariff rate of just over 6%, a dramatic drop from the previous 100% tariff that effectively blocked them. On paper, the quota seems small. In reality, it carries enormous symbolic and strategic weight. For years, both Canada and the United States aligned closely on keeping Chinese EVs out, citing concerns over unfair subsidies, national security, and the protection of domestic auto industries. This new deal marks a clear shift — and a divergence from U.S. policy. Canada didn’t make the decision in isolation. The EV tariff reduction was part of a broader trade reset with China, tied to agricultural exports such as canola and efforts to stabilize a strained economic relationship. Why Chinese EVs Matter So Much China is the undisputed leader of the global electric vehicle industry. Its manufacturers produce EVs at scale, often at prices Western automakers struggle to match. Brands like BYD, Nio, and Xpeng have already expanded aggressively into Europe, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Middle East. North America has remained one of the final fortified markets — until now. Chinese EVs are appealing not just because they’re cheaper, but because they’ve rapidly improved in quality, range, and technology. For consumers priced out of North American and European EV models, Chinese vehicles offer something rare: affordability without sacrificing features. Canada’s decision gives Chinese automakers their first legitimate foothold in North America — and footholds tend to grow. Why the U.S. Is Nervous The United States still enforces a 100% tariff on Chinese EV imports, making them effectively unsellable in the American market. But Canada’s move has triggered concern in Washington. U.S. officials argue that Chinese EVs entering Canada could indirectly pressure American markets, influence supply chains, and weaken Washington’s leverage in future trade negotiations. There’s also a political dimension. Both major U.S. parties have framed Chinese dominance in EVs as a strategic threat — not just to auto jobs, but to technological leadership. Modern EVs collect vast amounts of data, and lawmakers have raised concerns about cybersecurity and foreign data access. While Chinese EVs aren’t rolling onto American roads yet, their presence just across the border changes the conversation. Canada’s Risk — and Opportunity Inside Canada, the reaction has been mixed. Automotive hubs like Ontario worry that opening the market could undermine domestic manufacturing and strain relations with the U.S., Canada’s largest trading partner. Some leaders have called the deal “lopsided,” warning it could cost jobs if American retaliation follows. Others see opportunity. A more competitive EV market could lower prices for Canadian consumers and accelerate EV adoption. It may also attract Chinese investment into Canada itself — including factories, battery plants, and supply chain partnerships. If Chinese automakers choose to build in Canada rather than simply export to it, the country could position itself as a bridge between Chinese EV innovation and North American demand. That balancing act — between economic opportunity and political risk — defines Canada’s strategy. Are Chinese EVs Really ‘Closing In’ on America? For now, the answer is: not directly — but strategically, yes. Chinese EVs sold in Canada won’t automatically flood the U.S. market. Regulations, trade rules, and tariffs still stand in the way. But proximity matters. Supply chains overlap. Consumer awareness spreads. Manufacturing footprints expand. There’s also the possibility of a workaround: Chinese companies could eventually build EVs in North America to bypass tariffs altogether. This idea has already been floated — but it faces fierce resistance from U.S. lawmakers and unions. Still, history shows that once a global industry leader gains regional access, momentum often follows. What This Means for Consumers For Canadian buyers, the impact could be immediate: more choice and lower prices in an EV market that has long been criticized for being expensive and limited. For American consumers, the effect will be indirect — at least at first. But increased competition could eventually pressure U.S. automakers to reduce prices, improve features, and accelerate innovation. The larger question is whether North America wants competition or insulation — and how long insulation can realistically last in a globalized EV economy. The Bigger Picture: A Global EV Power Shift Canada’s tariff deal reflects a broader reality: China’s dominance in electric vehicles is reshaping global trade, whether governments like it or not. Europe is already grappling with an influx of Chinese EVs. Emerging markets are embracing them. And now, North America has its first real crack in the wall. This isn’t just about cars. It’s about who controls the future of clean transportation, supply chains, and industrial policy. Final Thoughts Chinese EVs aren’t driving down American highways yet — but after Canada’s tariff deal, they’re closer than ever. This move doesn’t spell immediate disruption, but it does signal a shift. One country has decided that economic pragmatism outweighs political alignment. And in doing so, Canada may have opened the door to a new phase of EV competition in North America. Whether that door swings wider — or slams shut — will depend on how the U.S., automakers, and consumers respond. One thing is certain: the EV race just entered a new chapter.
