It survives in high temperatures, poisons, acids, and ionising radiation that would kill sny life on Earth. How? It has a very effective way of mending its own DNA using gen uvrA and unique enzimes! 210

The connection lets trees inform each other about for example attack of a parasitic insect so that they have time to produce insecticide! 110

This is dictated by the fact that airbursts provide way less radiation and don't contaminate terrain as much. That's one of the reasons we can live in Nagasaki today but cant in Chernobyl. 210

For now no one has checked it in practice yet. Why? Its simple, its half-life is lesser than a milisecond and there were only about 3-4 atoms ever fusioned! 010
