Theorizing about Combine Origin

[pomegranate]

How can anything diffuse out into space? Surely for something to move out into space, there would have to be greater relative gravity effecting it than that of the Earth? What difference does mass make?
Not saying anyone is wrong, just curious?

there could be some truth to this fungi idea. Ive known plenty of guys on campus that fit the description of nothing more than slightly intelligent mold.

I can't really explain it myself, but I heard it on a documentary. Apparently fungi and bacteria already live in space too. Here are some related links:

the combine are the humans, in the last level when you're headed for breen's lab you'll see someone cross you with red nightvision goggles stuck in his head. This happens before you reach that red beam where the turret takes you picture (when your sitting in those pods)

If you mean the stalkers, no that are not *the* combine. That are crippled human slaves. And the "nightvision" thingy on their head is actually some kind of restriction, those two lids on the side can be closed so they don't see anything. But this isn't too clear just from what you see while driving/floating by, you actually have to look at the models to recognize this.

/E: I suppose you mean this guy:

so are stalkers phycically sent orders or whats the dealio with their commands?

I read somewhere that the combine were just another human esque race in another universe, and they started relying more and more on technology to sustain themselves longer and make their lives more enjoyable, but they started to depend more and more on the technology they themselves created, losing more and more human features from less and less activity, developing into a race of... whatever they are now... I think its valve saying that this is what technology is doing to us and blah blah blah...

Does anyone else think it looks like it's dancing?

You can see Combine world when the Citadel teleport forms portal to their planet and emit orange particles. These particles is some sort of mirror and you can see Combine world-its some city with many towers.
