When a marsh thrives, it is a busy cosmopolitan center where species of many kinds interact with flair...
From above, it resembles a cluster of molds prospering on a bounty of rotting fruit. But then, really, what is the difference? We eat a food, breaking it down in our stomachs: An internal process of forced decay. We hang our meats to make this process occur externally - even relishing the flavor of a bi-product of protein breakdown:Monosodium glutamate (MSG). Our meats once ate plants, which rely on decayed matter in the soil, which is often assisted in decay by bacteria, fungi and molds. If life is a build up of molecules, and; if death is a breakdown of molecules, and; if life feeds by the death of other life: then life is a product of death. In other words, the build up of one set of molecules is a product of the breakdown of another set of molecules, kept in perpetual cycles by the energy of the sun or the thermal/chemical energy of the *Earths' core: Without added energy to the system, life will gradually peter out.
*Note: It may well be that animal life began as a result of geothermal processes independant of the development of the solar-based plantlife, both following the same rules of chemistry and physics to result in the simple encoding of the DNA (see:Nanosemaphore), then, just as any chemical process reflects the environment in which it occurs, the two lifeforms became inter-re-active. Perhaps such entities as certain bacteria, molds or fungi took advantage of gaps between the two, profiting by being biochemical mediators. WATER TOUR LAST 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NEXT
