Summary

This appears to be a philosophical or literary essay about the destabilization of what humans have assumed are permanent conditions of Earth's environment. It is not a scientific study and is not directly related to microplastics research.

Amid the liquefaction of the apparently solid conditions of the Earth as they have existed for the entirety of human history, which now retreat like tides around our accumulated observations and predictions of normalcy, it becomes evident that our relationship with the precarious intangibles undergirding our existence is more fraught than has been previously assumed.
