The “Macro” Story of Life - The “Macro” Biome (Ep. 2)

“Brief” introduction to the “way” to the totality of life

(Romanian)

In the previous material, I described the microbiome and the immense support of this “effort” that brought about the manifestation of what would be “macro life”, the multicellular organisms, which will continue the “work” of the microbiome and will be permanently “supported” of the microbiome.

For Us, it was a long road, full of efforts, which “passed” through numerous stages of “radical” change, which You call “extinction”. But, as you will see, it was something else entirely.

Calculate the “percentage” that is Earth’s “path” “through” the microbiome (over 85%) and this “path” alongside the microbiome “into” “macro” life (less than 15%), considering the range of 4, 3 billion years, and just over 0.6 billion years, the next “road”, “macro”.

Or, as a “suggestive image”, if you were to “compress” this entire “journey” into just 24 hours (one day), the microbiome’s “journey” would be “just over 20 hours”, while “the rest of the way” it would be “less than 4 hours”. An “exhausting” day of work that continues even now (you will see along the development of my “life” materials).

So, “chronologically” (to the previous material) we arrived at…

After the “Ice Globe” period, contrary to “expectations”, the first forms of life appeared, called new simple animals (such as bilaterians — so named due to bilateral symmetry, the contribution of the “symmetrical Universe” — and fish).

Now, life, which had “once” passed through the “fiery” temperatures of a molten planet, passes (again) through the glacial temperatures of a frozen planet (literally), “escaping” this freezing, in a certain way, only now 550 millions of years, when the supercontinent Rodinia fragmented and allowed the Earth to thaw (through the reappearance of oceanic currents transporting equatorial heat to the poles) and “leave” on the “road of life” with the start of the Precambrian Cambrian.

In this period of the end of the Precambrian and the warming of the Earth, in addition to the microbiome and algae, the first proto-amphibians appear, as well as fungi, corals, anemones, and others.

542 million years ago, another massive extinction of life took place, with many species disappearing at the beginning of the Cambrian. The reasoning behind this precise dating is interesting because it represents a model of deductive paleo-geological thinking.

Thus, exactly at the beginning of the Cambrian period, there was a significant decrease in the abundance of the element C13. This is so widespread that it represents the best indicator of the position of the (geological) boundary between Precambrian and Cambrian. The evidence found in Oman shows that the decrease in the concentration of carbon 13 is closely related to the disappearance of many species of living things.

What would be good to “notice”, is the fact that what would be the biomass of those times was immense, even if the “diversity” of “life” seemed quite “reduced” in manifestation.

“Fortunately”, this area also proves an intense volcanic activity, revealing the cause of this massive extinction and, “fortunately”, the volcanic ash contains zirconium, which allowed a very accurate dating of the “period” of the event.

For Us, a large group of energetic entities have completed their stage of “terraforming” and “migrated” to other material areas of the universe, to participate in the “manifestations” and experience necessary for the development of those areas.

Then comes the Cambrian, known especially for the explosion of life, the so-called “Cambrian Explosion” (starting 545 million years ago until 505 million years ago). But, this explosion of life took place, almost exclusively, at the aquatic level, the land being “vaguely” populated only in the coastal areas, where the tides provided the algae with a kind of amphibious environment, which forced the plants to “climb” on land.

But, to remember, the coastal areas were increasingly larger and more significant, due to tectonic developments, and this form of propulsion for the evolution of life became a real engine that would fuel the population of the land.

Now are the “times” in which the evolution of life “calls” on all three incipient ways of diversification.

According to specialists, mass extinction is one of the “paths” already used by history. It seems paradoxical, but mass extinction allows new forms of life to evolve in an environment that was previously in a stable, “invincible” balance. Moreover, mass extinctions also allow a kind of “forced” adaptation of life forms that continue their existence, based on natural selection.

The next “form” is represented by “stem evolution”. This form of evolution has also already been tested by history and is represented by the appearance of new species, very little differentiated from the first, original one, which appears through genetic differentiation or genetic mutation.

And the last form is represented by “evolution in the crown”. This is a form of evolution of stem evolution because the latter manifests itself in relatively small areas and does not allow a massive diversification (which would be the evolution in the crown).

But, through tectonic movements, the small areas of stem evolution were separated and had a restricted evolution in the remaining area.

Through the recombination of small continents, along the tectonic evolution, these “separate evolutions” recombined and, due to the relatively similar genetic potential, genetic recombinations with an explosion of evolutionary variants were possible, which describes “evolution in the crown”.

Thus, from a limited number of species, a significant number of new species result quickly (in evolutionary terms) through recombination.

Anyway, it was obvious that the evolution of life is directly related to environmental changes and global factors such as the terrestrial “space”, the atmosphere, the external environment of the Earth, etc.

Now, the first multicellular organisms more complex than sponges are discovered (officially recognized — because there is indirect evidence that fish and proto-amphibians already existed), and about 50 major groups of “life” have appeared. In short, life messes up…

This is even though, in the period between 460 and 420 million years ago, a significant glaciation took place, called by researchers the Andrean-Saharan glaciation (Andrean-Saharan), which “unfolded” throughout the Late Ordovician and the Silurian period. This glaciation was due to the cleaning of CO2 from the atmosphere by plants, following the significant increase in oxygen levels.

It is the period of the famous Trilobites and crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, brachiopods, gigantic sea scorpions, but also the famous placoderm fish and cephalopods. 435 million years ago, the plants also climbed, timidly, on land, the water level was very high (there were not polar ice caps) the tides “revealed” large land surfaces, allowing the constant “land” development of plants.

Even now, the first ancestors of vertebrates appear (in some placoderm fish species). And this “invasion” of life continues in the Ordovician until…

415 million years ago, at the end of the Ordovician, from where the Silurian period of the Precambrian will start, when Earth was a real paradise of aquatic life, a new Armageddon took place.

A star, located 600 light years (?!?) from our planet, goes supernova, exploding. Through this explosion, this star sends a “beam” of gamma radiation that “intersects” our planet and…

This controversial theory begins by specifying that, if the supernova were closer to us, it would have shattered the atmosphere, or rather, it would have “eviscerated” the surface of the entire planet.

But to begin with, it destroyed over 30% of the already thin ozone layer of the atmosphere, allowing solar radiation to affect plankton, in its form of existence at that time (without taking into account the direct deadly effect of gamma radiation on life).

And, as in our times, it is the main source of food for many of the existing species. Thus, the basis of the “food chain” (trophic chain) was almost destroyed.

The action of the gamma current on the atmosphere also attracted a process that led to the cooling of the entire planet, enough to negatively affect and lead to the destruction of coral-type structures, with everything that this attracts for the living things “in their ecosystem” (both lack of food and breeding places).

The cooling of the climate also attracted the appearance of new ocean currents, and superstorms appeared (after a long period of tens of millions of years of stable, calm weather) and wreaked havoc in the shallow waters where most life forms had developed.

And, climate change attracted the formation of a massive polar ice cap, up (N), where the supercontinent Gondwana was.

And, look, the cumulative effect of all that was presented caused the loss of more than 70% of the life forms existing at that time.

Here, it should be “noted” a new massive migration of energy entities from this “material” area to other areas that required their participation. In compensation came energy entities that will participate in the great transformations of life forms in this material area (Solar System).

But there are also other good things… This caused a great drop in the ocean level and thus an increase in the land surface, a fact that caused not only the “forcing” of plants to become terrestrial, but also the appearance of the first terrestrial insects.

These have “taken advantage” of the “invasion” of the coastal areas by the algae that have evolved towards the terrestrial environment, starting a kind of evolution in direct symbiosis with them (symbiosis that already existed in the aquatic environment).

And, after 3 million years, everything is back to normal. Throughout the Silurian (415–400 million years ago) and then the Devonian (400–360 million years ago), the climate became tropical and the diversity of life, however affected by earlier events, continued.

The first fish with jaws and teeth appeared (410 million years ago), most of the modern plants have ancestors during this period (395 million years ago), and insects populate the land in close connection with the development of plant-related ecosystems (400 million years ago years) and, at the end of the Devonian, the first amphibious tetrapods appear.

Now is the time when life forms such as Ichthyostega appear, considered to be one of the ancestors of amphibians, beginning the diversification of life along this line.

The global environment is more and more supported by the development of plants that produce more and more oxygen (in those days, there was 1.5 times more oxygen in the atmosphere than in our times), permanently improving the evolution of life and the population of land.

But even now, life is not allowed to go forward “freely”. A new “change” at the top of the food chain was needed. 377 million years ago, at the end of the Late Devonian, another Armageddon-like event was recorded.

Everything will be triggered by the movement of a “superplume” of magma through the mantle that will emerge above the Earth’s crust in the area where Siberia is today.

The scale of the eruption was immense, and so was the area over which it occurred. The effects were immediate for the nearby areas, but almost everything would be covered by the poisoning (literally) of the waters with volcanic toxins, then by increasing the greenhouse effect through the gases released into the atmosphere (CO2 in particular, which attracted the phenomenon of global warming with all its adverse effects).

It is estimated that the temperature of ocean waters has exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, which has caused serious disruption to ecosystems. However, although the Earth was on the verge of losing life on it, this warming greatly favored the development of terrestrial life (and the birth of live young, typical of mammals, “appears”) for all kingdoms that had populated the land.

But, unfavorably, it also “over” facilitated the development of algae (as biomass) that began to de-oxygenate the ocean waters — the “Pink Ocean” (after more than 250,000 years of continuous volcanic activity), the planetary ocean taking on a green color (of death). Then, after 750,000 years of aquatic action, volcanoes were unleashed on land as well.

The volume of ash thrown into the atmosphere was huge, almost completely reflecting the sun’s rays “arriving” the frost, even if the vegetation fires covered almost the entire planet. Only after 1.5 million years did everything “calm down”, after more than 70% of all species of life had disappeared.

And, all traces were “erased” only after 10 million years, life resumed its expansion, and at the end of this period, the first true amphibian appeared (which has all the characteristics of modern amphibians).

Next comes the luxuriant Carboniferous period, between 360 and 285 million years ago. During this period, Earth experienced a “global warming” of about 10 degrees Celsius, and sea levels rose by about 100 meters.

The dry land is slowly but surely covered by tropical forests that allow a massive diversification of life on land, first of all the plants and insects that had claimed the land a long time ago, besides these the amphibians (now 340 million years), the first vertebrate amniotes appear (330 million years ago), the first reptiles (305 million years ago) (22:20 on the digital dial of the “clock of life” in one of the previous images indicates the “times” of 322.5 million years ago).

Be that as it may, the plant mass (biomass) was immense, their “degradation” being due to the immense coal deposits existing on Earth.

It is worth noting that from this period come the first fossils that show us the appearance of lungs in amphibians and their evolution both in amphibians and in newly appeared reptiles.

During this period, the therapsids (the ancestors of mammals) separated from the synapsids and many, many others. Life “bloomed” in diversity and evolution in the next period, called by scientists, Permian.

Proof of the “luxury” in which life developed is not only the huge coal deposits but also oil and natural gas today, which are nothing more than the “fossilized remains of life back then”.

Earth has been a place of peace and prosperity for many millions of years, a “Garden of Eden for all life” both in water and on land…

But, as a kind of balance of this “Eden”, in the Carboniferous and the early Permian (360 to 260 million years ago), the polar caps had immense dimensions, the cause is also the cleaning of the atmosphere by the vegetation of CO2 against the background of growth of the O2 concentration.

The time comes 250 million years ago (at the end of the Permian) with a new attempt for life on Earth. It is the moment of the greatest volcanic activity ever recorded (discovered), which “lasted” a million years.

It is the moment of the greatest catastrophe of life, the so-called “Mother of all extinctions”, when more than 95% of the forms of life are lost, passing by the “moment of complete annihilation” (96% of marine species, 70% of terrestrial species, being the only “extinction” that “massively affected” insects as well).

The phenomenon was referred to as the “Great Death”… But it was not “talked” of such a thing. It was the “time” of new “switches” of energy groups, all the “phenomena” that happened then had their evolutionary “reason”.

It is the moment when the process of “fragmentation” of the supercontinent called Pangea begins, with the faults starting from the area of present-day Siberia. Here, the old super volcanic area of Siberia relapses, maybe that’s why it was called the “Siberian Trap”…

As a parenthesis, there is some scientific evidence indicating that our galaxy, the Milky Way, intersected a “dark nebula” (dark matter) that supercharged Earth’s magmatic interior, causing the great Siberian eruption.

The scenario is the same as for all the volcanic disasters that have been and will follow: toxic gases, waves of lava, volcanic ash, overheated air, etc. The “initial” surface of the starting phenomena is, of course, huge, fueling all the “decisive” changes that will follow, the entire terrestrial surface will be affected, slowly but surely.

To all this is added the immense duration of the continuously manifested volcanic phenomena, as well as the fact that almost the entire land surface was “grouped” in the supercontinent of Pangaea.

As last time, the gases (CO2, in particular) and ash emanating from the eruptions attract dramatic climate changes, starting with global warming, followed by acid rains of intensity and aggression hard to imagine.

This warming favored the development of reptiles and mammals but disadvantaged all other forms of existence, including plants (whose massive “loss” will cause atmospheric oxygen levels to drop to life-threatening levels — an effect that effectively caused the collapse of the food chain).

And, at the level of the planetary ocean, the devastation was similar, except that 70% of all life forms were here and, consequently, the losses were enormous (following the same scenario of warming followed by oxygen loss, then actual poisoning).

But, after 1.2 million years, all this passed and life resumed its evolution, even starting from less than 10% of its pre-extinction forms.

It is the turn of the Mesozoic (middle) era, with its first part represented by the Triassic (its start being 245 million years ago). Life is recovering from all points of view (plants and all forms of terrestrial life), this first period is also called the “Mesozoic Marine Revolution”, with terrestrial reptiles standing out that thrive against the background of the particularly warm climate (due to the action of the levers “ The Siberian Trap”, which will “last” for a long time).

And, 225 million years ago the first saurians appeared, 220 million years ago the first species of fish with a complete bony skeleton were “attested”, the first fully developed mammals, similar to those of our days, the first gymnosperm forests, etc.

In short, in a short period (relative to the age of evolution) everything explodes from “almost nothing left” and gets closer and closer to what we know today.

Another turning point, which can be considered a kind of transition moment from the Triassic to the Jurassic, was 200 million years ago. And the Earth was still “recovering” from the “Mother of all extinctions”, the ecosystems being close to something that could be considered normal…

Now, the starting point also located in the “right” of the current Siberia, “sends” its cracks throughout the entire Pangaea, realizing the real, palpable initiation of its fragmentation.

Now there are also eruptions of the “lava wave” (“lava wall”) type, their characteristics being represented by the violent release of lava, gases, etc. along the crevices of the earth’s crust (like a wall of lava stretching for whole kilometers).

A new detail in this inferno (compared to the previous extinction) is the one related to forest fires (no traces of massive vegetation fires appeared in the previous sediments).

And, of course, the radioactivity of the fossils from that period induces as the cause of all the problems, an interstellar energetic insertion, this time it is a supernova.

But, after 500,000 years, everything ended with the breaking of the supercontinent, which then created what is nowadays the “Atlantic Rift” and the “initiation” of the existence of the continents that we know today, but also “attracted” the loss of 75 % of existing life forms.

Another feature related to life appears as the first accepted evidence of a virus (geminiviridae) infecting eukaryotic cells (the history of protoviruses and viruses is still poorly known/studied and it seems that, following this evidence, they arose from (and through ) the evolution of life itself, as a relatively recent phenomenon).

Some researchers state that this “explosion” of viruses is due to the major development in the length of DNA chains, far superior in “magnification” / “size” compared to “current” DNA “chains” (don’t be surprised, compared to human DNA that seems “simplified” having about 26,000 “constituent elements”, for example, the rice plant has 40,000 such “elements”), which drew an increased “permissiveness” of errors in RNA activities and thus the path to “ virology” was opened (you will receive details in the following materials).

The Jurassic brings us the dinosaurs (so familiar to us). Now, the environment was perfect for their development (and not only that). The first pterosaurs and sauropod dinosaurs appeared “rapidly” (195 million years ago) along with an increase in the diversity of all saurians.

190 million years ago, plant life seems to have completely recovered by reconquering the Earth, both the dry and the aquatic environment, favoring the explosion (literally) of all life forms.

I could present many time points of the evolution of life forms, but everything flourishes and diversifies. For example, in this period, angiosperms appeared with particularly advanced reproductive capacities for those times (“using” insects for pollination), even if their habitat was massively constrained by the existence of these insects.

For example, 155 million years ago, the “traces” of the first insects that feed on blood (the ancestors of the annoying mosquitoes) appeared, and Archeopteryx appeared (considered to be the ancestor of today’s birds).

And, 144 million years ago, the last “sequence” of the Mesozoic, the Cretaceous, began. It is the time when angiosperms (flowering plants — 130 million years ago) appeared, the first monotreme mammals (115 million years ago), the first bees (100 million years ago), the first ants (80 million years ago)…

90 million years ago, the “traces” of the first placental mammal appear, if I may say so (some researchers dispute this date, but the dating 66 million years ago is unanimously accepted). According to the researchers, they appear next to the rifts of the then-great continent, Gondwana, initially “benefiting” from “stem evolutions”.

In short, everything benefits from the over 125 million years of silence, peace (as much as possible, if we take into account the great predatory dinosaurs), and development…

What must be remembered: towards the end of this period, it seems that the processes of prosperity and unusual development had intensified, everything becoming a wonderful explosion of life…

Now, 65 million years ago, “death from the sky” comes… Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula (Chicxulub Crater) was hit by Mount Everest (an asteroid that was almost 10 kilometers in its maximum size at an unimaginable speed for the human mind.

The force of the impact is estimated to have been similar to 20 million Hiroshima bombs (1 megaton for every 6 kilometers of the planet — the total force is estimated to have been 100 megatons — that’s it?!?).

Life hundreds of kilometers away from the impact zone disappeared instantly. Then, in the “neighborhoods,” followed devastating earthquakes, landslides, and, last but not least, a tsunami difficult to imagine in dimensions (the wall of water was hundreds of meters high) that swept away life on the ocean coasts (all at speeds faster than the speed of sound).

The remnants of matter thrown into the air by the force of the impact “manage” to affect the rest of the Earth within 6–7 hours of the impact (the period in which the entire planet is affected by the impact and its effective results alone).

Anyway, the debris will fall from the sky for a long time, Earth, viewed from space, is surrounded by numerous debris that will fall back many days (even months) after the impact.

Fires cover the entire plant world, the air heats, storms of an intensity hard to imagine, acid rains, the light no longer reaches the vegetation for a very long time, the oceans are poisoned, the increase in atmospheric temperatures by tens of degrees Celsius followed by a long period of global cooling, etc.

Everything repeats quite similarly to the previous volcanic Armageddon, but compressed in time, in a maximum of 1,000 years. It’s hard to believe that anyone escaped, but the “terrestrial” dinosaurs disappeared from this point (along with 70% of all life forms since then).

Should I mention the departure of a large group of energy entities?!? However, now it would be something different, “spicy” for you. It is the only group of energy entities that has been forcibly “released” from this area, to be placed back in the “Draco zone”, the “headquarters” of manifestation of what you would try to describe (erroneously, of course) as the reptilians.

And everything enters a new period of peace and development, the land of life being dedicated this time to the mammals that will conquer the earth, “culminating” with Homo Sapiens over 50 million years ago (you will see in the following materials) begins his “ development”.

Among the events that are somewhat more “difficult to interpret” (for you), on a global level it can be remembered that 34 million years ago Antarctica began to be covered by ice, in the middle of the Cenozoic and 2.6 million years ago, in Quaternary, the formation of the Arctic ice cap began, which will permanently regulate the flow of “fresh” water at the global level.

The known “modern” glacial periods appear only towards the end of this “period”, with the so-called Riss glaciation, from 180,000 years ago to 130,000 years ago.

Finally, 74,000 years ago, humanity “participated” in a new event that can be associated with extinction. Scientists say that Homo Sapiens was then very close to extinction (based on genetic studies it is estimated that this event “lowered” the level of humanity to less than 20,000 individuals, representing a particularly dangerous critical limit to the manifestation of “ evolutionarily stable genetic potential).

The last great glaciation (Wurm), between 70,000 years ago and 10,000 years ago, also intervened.

There would be a new volcanic eruption of great proportions (in the current area of Sumatra — the super volcano Toba), with everything that was described in the other big eruptions that caused extinction. But this time the proportions were much smaller (but with global effects).

For example, the eruption lasted only a month, the sunlight was “taken” from life for only 10 months, but the global cooling that followed was “framed” as a kind of return of a new ice age (at that time, Earth it was in an interglacial phase and it is said that this is the event that triggered the new ice age that lasted approximately 10,000 years).

Then, after this ice age, it seems that the flood mentioned in almost all the holy books of the earth’s religions “occurred”, because this last glaciation “caught” man.

And, if I still get to the man, I will end this post and start the ones about the man… But not before “drawing” some conclusions.

What is certain is that life has been put to the test many times, proving that, each time, it has used death to move forward stronger than before. Life has passed over fiery planets, bombarded, frozen planets, over impossible pressures and temperatures, over catastrophic cosmic events…

And, each time, he “terraformed” the environment and took advantage of it in all the splendor and diversity possible…

And, for all this, we need not only matter, water, macro and microbiome, evolution, and… Chance?!? By no means…

The entire cosmos (universe) is fine-tuned for the existence of life. The necessary adjustments are not being “chance”, struggling to adjust “extinctions” or other blah blahs, but active, structured, coordinated, continuously manifesting participation of every energetic entity in this “material zone”.

And “life”, wherever it finds the vaguest opportunities, will transform everything to exist… Regardless of the form in which it manifests itself, regardless of the top of the food chain, regardless of whether it ends in a place to start everything from ends in another…

Because We need the manifestation in matter (I have described this to you in previous materials)!

Yes, and one more thing… Did you notice that in all the “extinctions” there was always some kind of “transfer” pattern (I won’t go into details)? We will discuss a whole type of pattern in the following material. More surprising than today’s…
