The previous post was the closing post on the my essay about the working of consciousness, this one’s foreshadowing the alien variety:

#eukaryotic cells and the proto-ancient Halls Of #Asgard and #FirstContact

*The Conversation* has an interesting read about how #Stromatolites may demonstrate a mechanism for the evolution of Eucaryotic cells like those that make up you or possibly me.[1][2]

The First Contact is actually literal.
Perhaps it's "First" and perhaps that's just __enthusiastic titling__ :)

#Evolution is a thing.
So are Stromatolites::

"" Nerearchaeum marumarumayae. The species name – marumarumayae – is derived from the Aboriginal language of the Malgana people, meaning “ancient home”, a reference to stromatolites being of ancient origin in Earth’s history. ""

[2] I checked Tea and Chilli are Eucaryotic so ... Me too.

‘First contact’ that may have led to complex life on Earth finally witnessed by scientists

Stromatolites might look like rocks. But they are living relics of ancient systems that thrived on Earth billions of years ago.

Oh yeah, before it's too late (it's 11 PM here) ...

Happy First Contact Day!

#StarTrek #FirstContact

Passend zum heutigen First Contact Day, mach ich mir jetzt erstmal eine Schüssel Plomeeksuppe (Nicht wirklich!) und schau mir dann zum gefühlt 2000sten Mal #StarTrek #FirstContact an (auch wenn ich es schon längst mitsprechen kann). Und vielleicht danach auch nochmal die Lower Decks Folge in Bozeman, Montana.

In diesem Sinne: Happy #FirstContactDay, y'all! 🖖

For me, understanding First Contact is more important today than ever. It's a reminder that our greatest tools of destruction can be repurposed to build a future of peace.

Commander Data said it best: "It is an historical irony that Dr. Cochrane would choose an instrument of mass destruction to inaugurate an era of peace."

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Happy First Contact Day. Live long and prosper!🖖🏾

Da war doch heute noch was. Ach ja, das hier... 😉 #sfcd #startrek #firstcontact
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2063 (in #StarTrek, at least) humanity breached the warp barrier and made #FirstContact with a Vulcan survey. I hope to live long enough to be there, and to see right-wingers stop blocking progress toward peace, unity, and #PostScarcity prosperity for all.
