You imply microorganisms capable of digesting glass, stone, and sand, via a hydrofluoric-acid-concentrating biochemistry that I suspect is not even remotely possible in Earth's atmosphere, which is something of a relief because if it did happen, it would almost certainly end all other life on Earth within a span of years to decades.

- throwanem 11mo agoNothing is impossible in theory.
- johnisgood 11mo agoOK, well, is it completely impossible in practice? I just want to get educated! Gosh.
