And because they didn't have seeds, they're only spores, the spores became sort of the fossils by which we've come to know of their existence.
And because of these spores, we know that this first extinction existed.
But this extinction is actually what enabled plants to...
to resurrect, right?
So the death of these first plants, because they clinked to the rocks and they generated a ton of phosphorus that went into the ocean by clinging to the rocks like 60 times more phosphorus than without them.
And then all this phosphorus basically choked the oceans and made them super cold and without oxygen, ayoxic.
And then we lost the plant kingdom.
And then because of the death of these first plants, they actually enriched the soil and created nutrients for these new plants to come to the planet.
And those planets had like more sophisticated plants.
vein systems, and they were moving beyond spores to seeded plants, et cetera, and flowering plants.
And so in a way, one mass extinction sort of led, in the Ordovician period, sort of led to life as we know it.
And where would we be without plants, in a way?
So I think that death is very much part of life.
And through that definition, that kind of planetary...
wide definition in the context of hundreds of millions of years, life gains a completely new sort of a new light.
And that's where, that's when the particles become a wave, right?
Where humans are, we are not alone.
And we are here because of those plants, right?
So I think death is very much part of life.
So in the context of the redwood tree, perhaps life is defined as 10 generations.
