"chemical scum"...,

Tendrils of cold dust

«The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among hundreds of billion of galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole cosmos exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.»

Hawking interviewed by Ken Campbell (1995).

One of the best dixit from Stephen Hawking! (Perhaps, however, the term "race" is not a good term, the term "species" is a better term.)

It is not only the human organisms that are self-sustained "chemical scum", it may be pertinent to state that: all life is "chemical scum".

Biochemics is enacted by a electrochemical gravitic mix, the "scum"/humus is the enacted substance.
