Deep dives
The Original State of the Earth
The earth initially existed as a living entity characterized by a thick, fluid state that contained all elements in suspension, unlike the solid forms we know today. In this early condition, the water and air were fundamentally different from contemporary counterparts, with water being denser and infused with various minerals and metals. This primordial environment was so viscous that organisms could not swim or walk as they do now, leading to unique life forms adapted to such conditions. The thick air, containing sulfur and other elements, prevented the existence of lungs as known today, resulting in a vastly different mode of living for the organisms of that time.
