everything is connected, really

on monday, i saw the imax movie at the lincoln square (lincoln center?) loews with ariel and his brother michael. it was called aliens of the deep, and it talked about life in the deep ocean, as well as how that might relate to life outside of our planet. one of the coolest parts was when they visited the areas of volcanic activity, where the superheated water forms chimneys of minerals and out of the chimneys shoots black smoke of very hot temperatures. the most amazing part is that life thrives around these vents of ridiculously hot water, and that creatures swim from the extremely cold water in and out of the extremely hot water.

christopher in the dog incident novel watches one of his educational tapes that talks about the very same thing. connected.
