i understand this problem perfectly from different point.. when i grow weed, the younglings are most vulnerable to ph changes (absorbtion balance of minerals, nutrients..) oh and balance of bacteria in medium aswell. Point is, tap water without letting it sit is enough to mess up the balance, and you notice the difference. growth might be hindered or the plant dies alltogether.. Ph is everything.

anyway, id imagine sea life being even more directly vulnerable since there is no medium (buffer) in between.

allright but the universe as we know it might be one string, layer of whatever. looking at the big picture, anything goes really. assuming the universe is same shape as the rest of stuff (toroidal) doing same stuff as atoms, quantum particles and stuff like that on what knows dimensions..

well, i guess we live in positive side of universe since stuff seems to expand. One string in a field. perhaps that is the part what scientists would call the universe part.

to be continued...
