Why doesn't nature's cells consume all of Earth?
1 cell takes in soil & water, it grows into 2 cells....4 8 16 32 64 128...
Why isn't all the soil in the center of Earth cells by now if there is so many different types of cells after so many years?
I get that a lot of the center of Earth gets pretty hot and void of water.....BUT....why isn't all of the soil just beneath our feet as deep as say 10 stories all "organism" organs and stuff by now?
Again,....1 cell duplicated......4.....8....16....
soil light water?

That link above explains a lot about the evolution of atmosphere, bedrock, soil, plants, really educational as ever lolz.
-
SO, there's only a sheath of soil below then bedrock lolz, organism do live in it but not like huge organs n stuff idk why, and soil is water/air/minerals.
Sedament hmm.....I'll look up the Earth layers diagram.
-
hm.....see the 2 images?

here's some cool pictures
so much silicon https://www.redbubble.com/de/people/adorman/works/7672667-earth-cross-section?p=metal-print

I dont see how we arent all just destroyed by evolutions viruses, doesnt make sense to me.
-
Alright so....is it really possible then for 1 nanobot to turn all or most of Earth into a borg? There seems to be lots of silicon, crystalline rock, heat ROFL. You would think that's a gooood thing because it needs those I'd imagine. Of course it can re-arrange the particles too for any atom type.

It becomes fossil fuel.
::)

If you just stop for a minute and look around you...
Everything you see and touch came from the Earth. Cars, houses, computers, silverware, glass, plastic...everything in your life came from the Earth.
And if left alone long enough, without humans, it would go back to the Earth once more!

Life on earth uses Sun heat as a power source to produce organic compounds from compounds found on the Earth (Stephen Hawking).

No type of organism consumes infinite resources because there is always some limiting factor on its ability to grow in numbers. Here are some examples:
*When a species' population grows, it is easier for that species' predators to find and catch a member.
*Disease spreads more easily through a large population in a small space.
*Eventually the population starts to run out of food. The lack of food slows reproduction and/or causes outright starvation.
*Members of the same species compete for limited territory, and may harm or kill each other, or limit one another's reproductive opportunities.
*Some species have relatively benign, socially enforced limits on reproduction (e.g. in a pack of wolves, there is typically only one pair that breeds at a time).
Not all of these considerations apply to microbes, but some do. If any species of microbes started to get close to consuming all the available resources in an area, they would either begin to starve and die back, or be eaten in large numbers by predators attracted to their surplus, or simply stop growing because there is not enough room -- no more suitable habitat in the form of soil-grain surface area.
-
No competing for limited territory! :P
Maybe individuals populated lots before a multi-celled blob saturated all soil as an immortal jellyfish blob pumpkin. They were like, eh!, attackkk!! Nibble nibble, then the pumpkin disappeared and left were the mites.

Yeah, as if the Kudzu hasn't already done enough damage...

Keep it up and we'll be an all Green country before anyone else!! (but in the wrong way of course).

The Martians had a similar problem back in the early 19th century with red weed; they just gave up trying to control it and invaded another planet lol.
I’m surprised that some entrepreneur hasn’t launched Kudzu burgers or some similar method of profiting from the stuff.
:)

Yeah well, it does make me wonder just what all that weird looking lettuce & leafy stuff is in my salads when I eat at some of these more "youthful" almost Yuppie places. Looks very akin to weeds we had to pull from the garden as kids, not to mention Dandelion leaves and other 'Greenery'.
Kudzu in a salad...who'd know for sure once it's decorated with those croutons and onions and doused with dressing? Hmm... ;)
Getting back to topic (sry), the one main reason that the Earth hasn't 'consumed' and melted everything surrounding its core is that no one has turned the heat up high enough (yet).
Like melting lead or other metal in a small crucible. Only so much can be melted until the thermal temperature of the molten metal begins to cool within the pot, even with the addition of more metal. The situation might require a larger crucible for one but mainly more heat to aid in the consumption process.

As you guys probably know about me, I think its only miracles stopping evolution from destroying the world, its insanely powerful and things dont make sense to me.
Evolution is the hill climbing method in the purest form, inside the "natural model" like Archimedes "Give me a long enough lever, and ill lift the world"
I would say, in Darwins name "Give me enough robots in separate bodies doing only just hillclimbing, and ill have a very devil-like efficient pattern in its digital hive mind."
To put my point further.
Are our killer predators out there as savage as evolution can make them?
Are u sure sexual reproduction is more efficient than asexual reproduction?
Imagine a creature that clones its intelligence into its offspring so they dont have to start from nothing?
Imagine a creature thats constantly giving birth to itself.
And more, just think about "the cracks in the system".
This is what evolution could make that people dont even consider.
-
Made my day ranch. "constantly giving birth to itself" That's so horrifyingly beautiful.

In asexual reproduction there is no generation improvement. A child is exact genetic copy of its parent.
