Talk:Dictyoglomus thermophilum

Philosophy of Dictyoglomi
Well I have always been interested in the philosophy of Dictryoglomi. Why are they here? How did they get here? What is their purpose? Where are they going?

This new concern about the philosophical side of Dictyoglomi has arisen as of late and these questions are being asked frequently. It has been stated in the past that "This organism is extremely thermophilic, meaning it thrives at extremely high temperatures." But in all reality, what does that mean? Why would the Dictyoglomi have to worry about this when it is trying to go back to its source? And what about this other statement: "This organism is of interest because it elaborates an enzyme, xylanase, which digests xylan, a heteropolymer of the pentose sugar xylose."

I take a quote from a very ancient text that has been unknown to the general public for centuries:

Extraction of 234U from natural uranium is not feasible. Pure U-234 can be extracted (by ion exchange) from pure plutonium-238 which has been aged to allow some of it to decay to 234U. Enriched uranium contains more U-234 than natural uranium; this is a side effect of enrichment for U-235, which concentrates even lighter isotopes even more, and does not bring any benefit. Similarly, depleted uranium contains much less U-234 (around 0.001% [1]) which makes its radioactivity slightly more than half that of natural uranium, since natural uranium has an equilibrium concentration of 234U and therefore an equal number of decays of 238U and 234U.

And another quote:

"In general relativity, light follows a special variety of straightest-possible world-line, so-called light-like or null geodesics—a generalization of the straight lines along which light travels in classical physics, and the invariance of lightspeed in special relativity.As one examines suitable model spacetimes (either the exterior Schwarzschild solution or, for more than a single mass, the Post-Newtonian expansion), several effects of gravity on light propagation emerge."

And finally:

"'Jimi Hendrix isn't as good as me!' David Gilmour, Live at Pompeii (video), Dark Side of the Moon Sessions, 1972"

As you have seen ladies and gentlemen, my point is clearly evident. The chicken came before the egg whether you like it or not. The evidence is clear, outstanding and concise. Whether the meaning of life for a Dictyoglamus is found out or not, it is entirely up to them.

Case closed, point proven. Beat that.

Easy there, bro
As much as I appreciate the humour of placing this bit of nonsense in the discussion for a relatively obscure bacterium, might I humbly suggest you do something a tad more productive with your time?
