Life has forever been hiding in plain sight. Microbes too small to see, living in places we didn't even think to look, surviving off of chemical and electrical metabolisms we never considered. Our challenge has never been finding life, it's been recognizing it.
- negamax 7y agoIsn't our bodies host to most of such life? I always wondered if microbes created us i.e. more complex life so they could thrive. They are single celled and only want to create copies of themselves. Complex life forms like ours wants to create better version of themselves to tackle the environment. It's a win for microbes really
- bdamm 7y agoOdd sci-fi for the evening; our body is host to many bacteria, including some which sense the choices of which parallel universes to stay attached to. These sometimes influence our behavior to stay alive; after all, they want the host to live, also. Consistency is good for their river of life and death.
