Chemistry of Human Existence

You are ninety-nine point nine percent identical to every single person you see.

That tiny fraction of difference is the only thing separating you from a stranger, but the biological

machinery underneath is exactly the same. You are basically a walking bag of water and carbon

running on solar power because every bit of energy you use originally came from the sun.

Your cells are constantly fighting chaos, burning glucose in little explosions just to keep you

warm and moving. From the bacteria in your gut to the whales in the ocean, we are all just

chemistry trying to survive the universe.
