    :This is NOT a feature of any scientifically accepted modern quantum theory, however.

    Yeah, but it does prove the earth is flat.

    I think this ties into the thread, thought you might find it interesting....

    Bugs/lizards that can walk vertically on any surface or even upside down, particularly Geckos. It was discovered that their feet are covered with hairs so fine that they actually bond with the building blocks (cells) of the surface, and those hairs branch out into millions more.

    Fascinating stuff.

    There are simpler self replicating molecules.

    These molecules are self-replicating and capable of Darwinian evolution.

    They pretty much meet the definition of alive.

    Prions were discovered, because they caused disease and death in humans and animals. Viroids, because they damaged human food plants like potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers. When stuff affects us, then we get interested. I wonder, if there are other, even smaller, wierder bugs out there that we don't know about, because they haven't caught our attention.

    The fact is that there are about 100 trillion cells in the human body, and that 90% of them are non human. We've got a lot to learn yet.

    When I was a young child, I used to speculate that there were little men inside of me pushing knobs and pulling levers to run everything.

    You mean there aren't?

    JD,

    When I was a young child, I used to speculate that there were little men inside of me pushing knobs and pulling levers to run everything.

    Reminds me of a heavy Morning Glory seed trip I took a couple of years ago when I felt under the control of an unseen entity.
