When I was working in a bacteria research lab I often thought about how cool/terrible it would be to have magic glasses to actually see the invisible, biologically thriving worlds that are present on basically every surface of this planet, in the style of the movie 'they live'. [1] It would be either terrifyingly fascinating or fascinatingly terrifying.
This invisible world is even on all of the surfaces in and around our bodies, right now! We are all each host to a personalized ecosystem of microbial organisms. Something like 1-3 percent of 'your' body mass actually belongs to other organisms that we can't see.
P.S. all reading this pls stay up to date on the tetanus vaccine! It's not just in rusty nails, it's pretty much everywhere.
There are infinite parallel universes. We co-exist with many of them, able to affect them only in the grossest, most indirect ways. Often we can only observe them with special tools and by inference and detection of signals subject to much other noise.
I can rant about the interconnection of our microbiomes to the larger macro-biome (made up of the microbiomes of everything else around you) and how that makes things like living in the woods with hounds a better lifestyle than city life... but thats close to preaching :)
I do like the woods and the hounds but I'm willing to roll the dice in the name of hedonism. I'm down to be a party/war barge for my little microbiological amigos. No harm no foul, game recognize game etc. Jeez, I am so high right now.
