[b]Discovery of ‘worms from hell’ deep beneath Earth’s surface raises new questions[/b] http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/discovery-of-worms-from-hell-deep-beneath-earths-surface-raises-new-questions/2011/05/31/AGnzJTGH_story.html?tid=sm_twitter_washingtonpost Hey BHD, I just had to comment...I love your new icon!(^-^) [/quote] Tnx AC OZ for this link ! snips: [i]- Scientist Tullis Onstott of Princeton University opens a borehole in a section of rock wall in a South African mine near where [u][b]"radiation eating microbes"[/b][/u] were found. - For the first time, scientists have found [b]complex, multi-celled creatures[/b] living a mile and more below the planet’s surface - Nicknamed “worms from hell,” [b]the nematodes, or roundworms, were found in several gold mines in South Africa[/b], where researchers have also made breakthrough discoveries about deep subterranean single-cell life. - creatures so far below ground, [b]with nervous, digestive and reproductive systems[/b], was akin to finding “Moby Dick in Lake Ontario.” - For a relatively complex creature like a nematode to penetrate that deep is simply remarkable - H. mephisto was found [b]in water flowing from a borehole[/b] about one mile below the surface in the [b]Beatrix gold mine[/b]. - it places far more complex life in an environment where researchers have generally held it should not, or even cannot, exist. - nematodes are known to [b]exist on the deep ocean floor[/b], they have generally not been found more than 10 to 20 feet below the surface of the ground or the ocean bed. The nematodes he ultimately discovered live in [b]extremely hot water coming from boreholes fed by rock fissures and pools[/b].[/i] Now isnt THAT interresting ??? maybe they should inject those nematode-extremophiles into the ground at Fukushima ? And yes, for a minute my brains touched the thought of possible relation to AUgie ... xx krispy Edit-add: This shows connection or relations between radiation, gold, and the possibility of existence of complex lifeforms. Does the gold do that ? is that a cathaclist for develloping complex life ? Or is the radiation the key in that ? or are they both a contributor ??? My guess is that this links back to having also complex RNA-properties like many extremophiles have. And just like scientists found out that the most early lifeforms on earth were more RNA-based then DNA-based. A DNA-basis occurs only when the inviroment is stable enough, untill that happens lifeforms need this RNA-based metabolism to profit from and to shange these radiactive and harsh conditions. Just like that fungus that was found eating/living on the radiation in Chernobyl ! It used the radiation without itself becomming radiactive ! That was due to high melanin-levels !!! remember the post from OP about augie being attracted to high levels of melanin ? .. right ... lol... (@ Rken and BHD : This seems to be a substantional and real link to things OP posted of containing real dots and value. There were more. But there is also like Aco admitted himself a lot of fictional things in his posts and in the plot of this thread. There are needles between the hay ... there is truth between the fiction, plot directional agenda-points and their personal interpretaions) :hf: [/quote] More on this [u]Halicephalobus mephisto[/u] from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicephalobus_mephisto - "Halicephalobus mephisto is [b]resistant to high temperatures, it reproduces asexually(***), and feeds on subterranean bacteria[/b]. According to radiocarbon dating, [b]these worms live in groundwater that is 3,000–12,000 years old[/b].[1] The worms are also able to [b]survive in waters with extremely low levels of oxygen[/b], lower than one percent of the level of most oceans. It is the "deepest-living animal" ever found, able to withstand heat and crushing pressure,[4] and the first multicellular organism found at deep subsurface levels." [i]MZK >>> 12,000 YO ... so water from the last cycle !!! Unlike what is said on the wikilink, I think that the surface-variant is descended from the deep-ground variant. It is easier to acclimate to the surface then to grow skills to burry deep and withstand presure and heat. Just like the scientific article that said that the first bacteria/lifeforms on Earth were RNA-based to survive in harsh enviroments.[/i] ** "[u]Asexual reproduction[/u] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which [b]offspring arise from a single parent[/b], and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization. A more stringent definition is agamogenesis which is reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as the archaea, bacteria, and protists. Many plants and fungi reproduce asexually as well. Current hypotheses suggest that asexual reproduction may have short term benefits when rapid population growth is important or in stable environments, while sexual reproduction offers a net advantage by allowing more rapid generation of genetic diversity, allowing adaptation to changing environments." [i]MZK >>> offspring arise from a single parent = Tiamath Amaru, the Mother of all life.[/i] "In binary fission [b]the parent organism is replaced by two daughter organisms, because it literally divides in two[/b]. Many single-celled organisms, both prokaryotes (the archaea and the bacteria), and eukaryotes (such as protists and unicellular fungi), reproduce asexually through binary fission;" [i]MZK >> 2 daughters ... 2 suns ... our sun and the brown dwarf ??? Hmm that is interresting in retrospective to the PARENT of this binucleate solarsystem ...[/i] "Agamogenesis is any form of reproduction that does not involve a male gamete. Examples are parthenogenesis and apomixis." [/quote]
