Oct 7, 2020 at 17:57 comment added John Dvorak @DarrelHoffman Freshwater life, on the other hand, would be wrecked. Trouts would take the longest - they can live just fine in saltwater, but they'd no longer have suitable breeding grounds.
Oct 7, 2020 at 13:51 comment added Darrel Hoffman Even "swallowing the land utterly" would not just spare the bacteria - most life in the sea would be perfectly fine as well. Sure you'd have beached whales and fish etc. all over the land when the flood receded, but the vast majority of sea life would be unaffected.
Oct 6, 2020 at 19:30 comment added Nuclear Hoagie Agree you'd need great awareness to determine what water molecules to affect, but you'd have to actually control a surprisingly small fraction of the planet's water. The total biomass of the planet Earth is about 550 million tonnes (carbon weight), while the mass of the oceans is around 1 billion billion tonnes. Even assuming organisms are, on average, 99% water, you could control all the water inside the entire biomass of the planet and still leave 99.99999% of the world's water untouched.
