Bacterial Contaminants
#sonnet #excerpt
If we find microbial life “from space,”
turns out, we shouldn’t get so excited.
Ryugu’s samples are one point in case:
Life’s “evidence” came along, invited.

“Earth Bacteria In An Asteroid,”
is a click-bait headline we’d best avoid.

Life beyond our Earth
may elude understanding
but not detection.

Marie Curie’s pioneering research on radioactivity changed the course of science. Her discoveries of polonium and radium opened new frontiers in physics, chemistry, and modern medicine.

What modern breakthroughs do you think trace back to Marie Curie’s discoveries? 🧪

Evolving from one strand of 🧬
when amino acids were ⚡ struck,
life reproduced itself in an array
of forms from this unlikely bit of ☘️.
We think, ... life happened only once,
and all the organisms present here –
from ocean plankton to the beast that hunts –
were given just this one chance to appear.

They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
They looked out across the vacant land.
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
None upon none.
The war it was over before it begun.
Two little kings playing a game.
They gave a war and nobody came.
And nobody came.
And nobody came.

FLEEING FROM THE PAST
#fibonacci
Big
Bang,
it's dubbed,
but the start
of our universe
is more like an un-popped bubble
expanding forever faster and ever faster
fleeing from the only edge time's arrow insists upon and the only edge allowed.

"For galactic eons you’ve been the same
yet changing, independent of all form.
Whoever you might think you are is small,
though it takes you outside this planet’s norm --
infinitesimal compared by all
you truly are and all the lives you’ve known."
