The Biggest Threat to Humanity? Black Goo

Seen most recently in sci-fi shows like Westworld and Severance, the sinister substance also exists in the real world—where it may control us all.

Black Goo shows the ability to organize itself and display highly intelligent consciousness.

According to witnesses, the goo's energy instructs them to have thoughts of murder. Reported to smell like sulfur, those who have spotted the goo off the Gulf of Mexico have touched it stating the texture is slimy and looks like crude oil.
