re: Two lifeforms merge in once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event

This will eventually lead to plants developing nitrogen fertilizer bombs and destroying AI that run the world. At that point, man will crawl out of the caves we began to inhabit when AI took over and worship the plants that saved us from destruction.
Good plot for a date night movie. I see Brad Pitt playing a pothos plant, going against some up and coming actor who plays the king of all AI computers.

Is this supposed to make me believe humans and octopus' came from the same singular cell billions of years ago.
One of us just evolved to walk and one of us evolved to have 8 tentacles and lives in the sea?
Well, this along with the mountain of other evidence that points to the same conclusion.

Eventually we are going to all become zombie mushrooms, aren't we?

Is that a man year, or God year.
Man year or God year doesn’t matter. God is timeless. Also, if you think of God as energy the closer we get to pure energy the slower “time” becomes.
I listened to a lecture years ago on the mathematical and Physics proof of Gods existence. It was mind blowing. It was also hard as hell to follow completely as some of the math used was so far over my head.

Next up: plants that don't need fertilizer.
I know most on here aren’t entirely plugged into the world fertilizer market, but imagine if we could generate massive tons of ammonia without the need of methane or without the energy needed to split water. That would be amazing. Bad for my business but amazing.
We would still need potassium and phosphates/phosphorous plus other trace fertilizer elements, but this would be a huge step in “decarbonization” of modern industry.

it occurs when one microbial organism engulfs another, and starts using it like an internal organ
I’m not sure why, but this sentence terrifies me on some weird existential level, as if some alien organism could use me as its internal organ.

As I was reading, I kept expecting some sort of punchline. It never came. It was just science the whole time.

That idea never works and Braarudosphaera bigelowii is gonna wind up in an abusive relationship with nitrogen

So let me try to understand this like a 5 year old. They are saying the last time this supposedly happened was 1.6 billion years ago. How in the hell do they know this? Humans have only been on Earth 0.0125% of that 1.6 billion years, and able to detect microscopic organisms far less than that.

In the 4-billion-odd-year history of life on Earth, primary endosymbiosis is thought to have only happened twice that we know of
If the theory of evolution is true, and this type of giant leap has only happened twice, and even then it just resulted in plants, how did we go from this….
To this…

And now, scientists have discovered that it’s happening again. A species of algae called Braarudosphaera bigelowii was found to have engulfed a cyanobacterium that lets them do something that algae, and plants in general, can’t normally do – "fixing" nitrogen straight from the air, and combining it with other elements to create more useful compounds.
In unrelated news, we've been seeing an upward trend in the frequency and size of algae blooms. More at 6.

The entire big fertilizer big chemical ag business needs a huge humbling. We need more regenerative farming.

That's what I'm talking about.
