This is the main reason nobody uses Wolfram Alpha.

The first time I ever saw bioluminescence I was peaking on my first real acid trip. It was a moonless summer night in a calm, protected bay in the Pacific Northwest. Looking from the shore, the Milky Way reflected off the water and the ocean and heavens appeared to be fused together as one. The people there who weren't on acid couldn't even believe what they were seeing. As I slowly waded out into the abyss, eddys of flashing blue light swirling all around my limbs, it became increasingly apparent that I was was fusing together with them both. A sense of overwhelming joy was steadily building inside me. I made my way out far enough to begin floating in the water, and it was in that moment I believe I had the most profound experience that is possible for a human being to have. As I lay there floating, almost weightless, gazing up at the heavens, looking down through the glittering water at my body that I could only make out through the light of plankton, I realized that everything I had previously perceived as being separate from me was a great illusion; the entire universe is but one single energy field; we exist in a space and time within that infinite fractal energy that allows the universe experience itself. Oddly comforting.

TL;DR: Took acid, swam in bioluminescence under Milky Way, experienced accidental nirvana.
