-:Fictional scientists have been known to accidentally open gates to worlds with dangerous life forms, so this is possibly what Hardy was thinking when he introduced phase technology. The interesting question is, If a scientist one day opened a portal to another world, and bad stuff came through, wouldn't he have closed it? If he was killed before he could do so, wouldn't the portal have eventually ceased functioning if the lab got overrun by hostile life? If so, is life continuing to come through the phase veil on its own, and by what means, and in which places? Or is the spreading Wilderness simply reflecting the success of this foreign life in starting from a single point of introduction and rapidly invading our biosphere?

+:A. If he was killed before he could do so, one would think that the portal would have eventually ceased functioning after the lab got overrun by hostile life.
+:::Perhaps alien life is continuing to come through the phase veil on its own, but by what means, and in which places?
+:::Or is the spreading Wilderness simply reflecting the success of this foreign life in starting from a single, brief point of introduction and rapidly invading our biosphere?
+:B. Maybe the scientists who opened up these phase portals were entirely unaware that anything was coming through. As speculated in the "What is the Daodan?" section, if the Daodan is microscopic, it might have slipped through unseen and infected life in our world. The great E.C. Segar played with that notion in a comic strip [http://www.geocities.ws/jeeptoys/eu6.jpg 75 years ago]!
+:::Also, if the Screaming Cells are being harvested through continual openings of the phase veil, rather than from the Wilderness, then we have a ready-made explanation for how the Daodan could be brought over by accident, continuously and in different places around the globe.
 ===How bad is the pollution and how is the world dealing with it?===
