all life was wiped off this planet by some giant galactic microwave tsunami (or something equally mindblowing destructive) ? Nothing left that contains DNA, cells, water, skin and bones, but dirt and the giant structures, machines we built, cars , iPhones and clothes remain. Would evolution happen all over again (which seems likely) and would it happen differently ? Or would our machines and our creations evolve into a lifeform of their own ? Could organic cells merge with micro components of devices left behind and 'control' them ? Thus creating some new form of hybrid organisms - half being, half machine. It would certainly not look like some walking electric shaver I imagine, but rather a complex structure that would spread like microfibers similar to the connected root system of mushrooms. Found this pic quite cool btw...expresses my theory of
new hybrid life after the abyss (Pic by Werner Bartsch). AJ
