Damn it, while I’m out immersing myself in the science fiction world all week at Denvention 3, science goes and spits out something truly amazing and I’m only just now reading about it. Check this out:
There is a large virus that gets sick by becoming infected by a smaller virus.
If that does not blow your mind, then nothing will.
It definitely settles the debate for me as to whether or not viruses are life. Maybe one of the definitions of life should boil down to “something that can be infected by a virus.”
