2/5 "The #gut #microbiome is a key modulator of body temperature variation both in #health and critical illness, and is thus a major, understudied target for modulating #physiologic #heterogeneity in #sepsis."
3/5 The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking from September 1 to September 2, 1859 during solar cycle 10.
4/5 In healthy individuals, normal body temperature has decreased consistently since the Carrington Event. Could this be an adaptation, a radio-resistance induced, virtually imperceptible hypothermia, making us better suited to withstand steadily increasing cosmic radiation?
5/5 Hypothermia has proven itself to be an effective countermeasure against galactic cosmic radiation. Galactic cosmic radiation doses are rising. Perhaps our microbiomes know something more about what's coming than we do.
