people are much too afraid of risk. Science needs more provocation

@Jackaloftheazuresand Agreed. We haven't made any breakthroughs because we don't push forward. We're too busy talking and not enough actually doing.

There were no life forms like ourselves then and it seems unlikely to me any microbes from then would be equipped to harm us.

I'm actually really excited about these microbes for some reason.

That is so awesome lol. I love science, it rocks.

The world has turned to cowards and who can blame them that's what fear mongering mainstream media did with their fear porn...

Prediction: kills SARS-Cov-2, but unfortunately all of us, too. Paging Steven Spielberg.
