Professor Albert Einstein, along with many other professors particularly in the fields of physics, have very great contemplative and thinking powers . They are able to construct abstract ideas and apply their intelligence in ways far, exceeding 95% of the population . However, they , in their intelligent musings , will admit they are gathering a few grains of sand in the vast “desert ” of the inconceivable nature of even the microbial world what to speak of universal events .Universes where Prof Lisa Randall engages in the studies of the multidimensional universes , her ” brane theory ” as in membranes of existence where one dimension is unaware of another .
Can we ever imagine a microbe understanding Einstein, microbes are intelligent in their ways , see below .
Krishna manifests billions of universes, He also manifests the spiritual kingdoms . Each planet in the spiritual realm is millions of times bigger than our sun , there are millions of such Vaikuntha planets . However, they all fit within the 17-mile track of land called Vrndavana, Goloka Vrndavana, the unlimited spiritual world . Although unlimited, it can be limited to 17 miles . Krishna or God Himself, in his youthful form, appears limited in His form , but when His mother looked into His mouth , she saw the whole of existence in one place . Arjuna on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra saw the universal form of Visnu , the whole of material creation in one place .The Vedas records the unlimited dimensions , but Sukadeva Goswami admits he can know something of the unlimited. The limited can know something of the unlimited, but the unlimited Himself does not know the extent of His unlimited existence.
So facing reality means facing the inconceivable.If you can do that , that faith in the unlimited can take you to the realms of the unlimited where love and beauty predominate , and majesty is left behind .
This is the microbial world below .
“The field of microbial intelligence (or bacterial cognition) proves that single-celled organisms are not just passive bags of chemical reactions. While they lack a brain or nervous system, they process information, calculate risks, and make autonomous choices. [1, 2]
Here is how microbes evaluate data and make specific decisions in laboratory settings.
1. Decision-Making Mechanisms
Microbes navigate their world using an advanced biological communication network. [1]
- Chemical Networks: Protein path systems act like biological computer circuits.
- Signal Integration: Cells weigh multiple sensory inputs before changing direction.
- Memory Storage: Microbes alter their internal state to remember past stimuli for hours.
- Bio-Electricity: Bacterial communities use electrical voltage spikes to pass data quickly. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Types of Choices Microbes Make
In controlled lab environments, researchers observe microbes making distinct, calculated choices. [1]
- Navigating Mazes: Slime molds (Physarum polycephalum) find the shortest path to food.
- Diet Selection: Bacteria analyze food options and choose high-energy sugars first.
- Risk Management: Cells delay or skip replication if environmental stress is too high.
- Altruistic Sacrifice: Individual bacteria die off during starvation to save the colony. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
3. Collective Intelligence (Quorum Sensing)
Microbes communicate using chemical words to make democratic, group-level decisions. [1, 2]
- Counting Heads: Microbes release molecules to count their local population density.
- Voting Systems: They wait until a specific population threshold (a quorum) is reached.
- Coordinated Actions: The group launches a synchronized attack or builds a protective biofilm. “
