Pinnacle of evolution: Existence comprehending itself. [trollville]

every breath, every drink, even my poop are of nature itself; our everything.

Mankind became capable of conscious awareness of itself and words/symbols/articulation was born to natures body.

 

Mankind could identify itself as an "I" to represent an opinion.

Words are mankinds creations, agreed?

 

math, being the universal language............. yes no?!?

 

mankind is describing itself, yes?

and to perfectly 'name' existence itself would be to define it, perhaps?  Ie.... to articulate 'its' processes, a label?  a name?

 

in which language? 

 

If you 'are' it and have that universal 'want', is it to know, to understand?

How about every conscious life ever born, do ya tink dey wanted to know at some point in their life?

 

Will the next generations want to know?  What is our duty as capable human beings, NOW; to the next generations?

 

 

If you were to identify the pinnacle of evolution, could you comprehend the reality of a life, knowing itself, within its environment, capable of creating and enabling life, by choice and not only know it is doing it, but live in them contributions to existence/nature by choice?

 

Meaning; if you were given the magic wand of enabling life ever lasting, would you want to know how it works?  (fuch the magic, cuz to comprehend then you can teach your children and theirs the same)

 

what's the pinnacle of evolution?

No.

Quote:

No 'perfectly' involved.

Naming something only creates a label for it, and defines nothing more than that label, nothing else about what that label refers to.

Quote:

Our own language, of course.

 

Quote:

We are NOT 'existence, only a small part of it. Scientific, empirical study is how we attempt to satisfy our desire to understand,

 

Quote:

Not necessarily, in fact, mostly NO.

Quote:

Some in the next generations will want to know, so it would be nice to do what we can to help that happen.

The "pinnacle of evolution" is largely meaningless and certainly subjective. Irrelevant.

Quote:

If we found a way to indefinitely extend our life-span, that would be nice. You are just confusing the issue by talking about 'magic'.

Quote:

what's the pinnacle of evolution?

A poorly defined concept. Do you mean "What is the most advanced life-form on Earth?". Probably Homo Sapiens, at least right now, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

is it, or is it not?

 

why?

 

I answered before.  Evolution has no pinnacles.  None.  Nada.  Zip.  The question is meaningless.  Therefore, the question has no meaningful answer.

See Mark Twain -

Very well. According to Kelvin's figures it took 99,968,000 years to prepare the world for man, impatient as the Creator doubtless was to see him and admire him. But a large enterprise like this has to be conducted warily, painstakingly, logically. It was foreseen that man would have to have the oyster. Therefore the first preparation was made for the oyster. Very well, you cannot make an oyster out of whole cloth, you must make the oyster's ancestor first. This is not done in a day. You must make a vast variety of invertebrates, to start with -- belemnites, trilobites, jebusites, amalekites, and that sort of fry, and put them to soak in a primary sea, and wait and see what will happen. Some will be a disappointments - the belemnites, the ammonites and such; they will be failures, they will die out and become extinct, in the course of the 19,000,000 years covered by the experiment, but all is not lost, for the amalekites will fetch the home-stake; they will develop gradually into encrinites, and stalactites, and blatherskites, and one thing and another as the mighty ages creep on and the Archaean and the Cambrian Periods pile their lofty crags in the primordial seas, and at last the first grand stage in the preparation of the world for man stands completed, the Oyster is done. An oyster has hardly any more reasoning power than a scientist has; and so it is reasonably certain that this one jumped to the conclusion that the nineteen-million years was a preparation for him; but that would be just like an oyster, which is the most conceited animal there is, except man. And anyway, this one could not know, at that early date, that he was only an incident in a scheme, and that there was some more to the scheme, yet.

The environment is the benchmark against which competing mutated (evolved) organisms are tested against.  If they are better adapted to the environment, they will prevail and out-breed the original organism, conversely, they will die out.

I agree with you on this point Bishadi, but you still have yet to answer my post.

 

Evolutionary changes, as I see it, don't change to suit an environment.  Generally they are random type changes that either allow better survival in the environment or not.  The random changes do not happen because of the environment although environmental factors such as radiation, mutagenic plants and so on may cause genetic mutation.   If the environment directed evolution versus random mutation then there would have been no reason for marine animals to ever "evolve" to walk on land.

 

You made my point Ktulu with your post but credited Bishadi with it.  I'm sure my confusing point by point addressing didn't help the thread read smoothly.

 

At least I think we are looking at evolution the same?

Evolution is RANDOM.  If DNA replication was perfect AND no RANDOM errors with the DNA strand then there would be no evolution as I'm referring to it.  The error I see with your refuting this is that you see evolution as determined.  Rewind the geological clock and set it to run forward from the Cambrian era and you may find that totally different animals evolve because there would have been different RANDOM errors.

 

Sorry you found my comment stupid.   Now you know how I feel about your thread.

No.

  please explain.  I see trade as ooosually being the first order, when cultures bump into each other.

can you explain your point?

Quote:

Quote:

No 'perfectly' involved.

Naming something only creates a label for it, and defines nothing more than that label, nothing else about what that label refers to.

 

perfect is a huge word, i can see that part.  Even if i know it qualifies, you may not know that just yet, so OK.

 

naming existence can be as simple as 'nature' or the universe, etc..... but to define it, in which 'we' as human beings can call upon a action, then defining the measure is absolutely important.

 

for example: moving mountains, mankind can do it because we know how to use iron (of nature), which temp to smelt, forming, production of equipment and so forth......   labeling nature is what we do just for the phenomena in all her forms (gravity as ex).

 

i can see you point of not wanting to box in something with a stupid label.  A fine trait of the objective nature.

 

And again, i apologize for being so upfront with these premises (math; universal language and 'naming' existence) but if you were to sit back and YOU required a defining of how existence operates, how would you think it must be completed?

 

be fair

i see it that just about every conscious life ever to walk has wanted to know what the fuch it is.

to comprehend the 'life' that you are, is how to extend yours........  ah dah.

 

that is what the whole concept enables;  conscious life to live longer by choice, an know it!

funny sheeeeet dood.

 

you said yur kids were perfect reproductions in one sentence, then claim the mutation are normal.

 

which is it?

 

the random is not a form or law of nature, it is that often the cause, is not easily identifiable on the face.

 

for example: i could not look at you and tell if  your integrity is shot or if you had aids.  I can tell that your ignorance is why you are having a hard time with the thread and comprehending to such a level.

 

the whole random/uncertainty/reductionary scope of the sciences is based on walking the planck and the adherance to the 2LoT within todays physics.

 

that model is wrong.

 

it aint rocket science to comprehend or just be honest with that FACT!

when i point to references, perhaps write them down and then go over every line item conveyed, if you learn, just one item, then we both win.

You're the one who changed the topic, not I.

"Why not answer the opening posts questions and start your education, now."

I already addressed the OP. The questions are 99% nonsensical, 1% laughable, and 100% foolish. I'll show you.

1: Words are mankinds creations, agreed?

Maybe. Maybe not. I wasn't there when the first word was spoken. Neither were you.

2: math, being the universal language............. yes no?!?

Maybe. Saying "the" instead of "a" presupposes there isn't a superior universal language.

3: mankind is describing itself, yes?

With what? When? Where? How? Your question has insufficient information to be a question.

4: and to perfectly 'name' existence itself would be to define it, perhaps?

Probably.

5: in which language? 

Does it matter?

6: If you 'are' it and have that universal 'want', is it to know, to understand?

Incomprehensible. Go back to school and learn how to use English.

7: How about every conscious

7: How about every conscious life ever born, do ya tink dey wanted to know at some point in their life?

I don't know. I'm not every life form that was ever conscious.

8: Will the next generations want to know?

Same as 7:.

9: What is our duty as capable human beings, NOW; to the next generations?

Subjective question. There is no duty to forthcoming generations unless we decide to make a duty. Different beings make different choices in this regard. No answer is possible.

10: If you were to identify the pinnacle of evolution, could you comprehend the reality of a life, knowing itself, within its environment, capable of creating and enabling life, by choice and not only know it is doing it, but live in them contributions to existence/nature by choice?

You presuppose a pinnacle where there is none. Evolution is a symptom of entropy. The pinnacle of entropy is equality among forces. The heat death of the universe. The end.

In closing, you are an idiot

In closing, you are an idiot who understands neither English nor science. You've presented a paper of lies and thrown around ad hominem attacks without provocation. You've made ridiculous claims without presenting evidence to back them up.

I conclude you are 12 years old and too stupid to realise how stupid you are. This amuses me. Please continue to make an ass of yourself. Free entertainment is always welcome.

do you understand that paper?  planck's constant?

 

entropy, mathematically imposing to systems direction

 

Your whole 'the end' crap is based on what planck did at the copenhagen meetings with the uncertainty principle of the d/t.

 

dood your are kicking your own self in the butt!

 

 

The whole of the entropic direction to how mankind comprehends nature is based from 'walking the planck'

Wow!

 

I wonder how many on the forum just watched you step on your own dick and you had no idea you were doing it.

 

what a crack up!

that's the same absolutions to a belief as a religious wingnut is to a 'god' and have no idea what your saying,

 

what a goof!

 

to be objective, as i thought this forum was about is also to be capable to finding your own knowledge is also suspect.

 

Oooops!

1. The words we use are our creation. Seems reasonable. So?

2. Math is NOT a universal language. It is a framework, a tool, for analysing and studying many, not all, aspects os reality.

3. We do describe ourselves, both individually and as collectively. In words, and including math, where relevant and appropriate.

4. Simple nonsense. Naming something only defines a label with which we can refer to it. We still need more labels to be defined to refer to the components of reality we identify thru studying it, and for use in the math we use to analyse the relationships between those components. We do not 'define' existence in any way. It is what it is. We learn about its nature by careful study.

5. Which language we use does not matter, as long as it has adequate descriptive power. Math, by itself, is inadequate. Otherwise, why are you not posting math expressions here instead of these strings of words? Math is part of a comprehensive language.

6. I exist, and have a desire to understand and know about existence. What is 'incomprehensible' about that?

5: Not really. Math is very limited. It doesn't even work unless you already have a language to work with.

6: I appear to be.

9: Education at the levels we teach now is anything but instinctive. Learning to breathe is instinctive. Learning to live is instinctive. Taking care of future generations is not. Otherwise global warming wouldn't be an issue. Neither would religion, for that matter.

10: You know you are, yet presuppose that knowing you are is as far as evolution can go. lol.

11: More projection, coupled with further evidence you know nothing about science. Entropy = chaos? ROTFlmfao.

 1. The words we use are

 

1. The words we use are our creation. Seems reasonable.   So?      to define with/articulate

2. Math is NOT a universal language.      It is a framework, a tool, for analysing and studying many, not all, aspects os reality.  I aint debating this

3. We do describe ourselves, both individually and as collectively. In words, and including math, where relevant and appropriate.       Agreed..............  that is a premise of the thread..    Nice to see someone can read.

4. Simple nonsense. Naming something only defines a label with which we can refer to it. We still need more labels to be defined to refer to the components of reality we identify thru studying it, and for use in the math we use to analyse the relationships between those components. We do not 'define' existence in any way. It is what it is. We learn about its nature by careful study.

 

i thought that hat was stupid.  Now i see that 3 and 4 of your comments, contradict and shares a lack of integrity/consistancy 

 

 

6. I exist, and have a desire to understand and know about existence. What is 'incomprehensible' about that?

 

it wasn't.

 

the incomprehensible part is how a mans integrity can be quite low for some!

comprehending how nature works, is what i have been doing most of my life.

 

look up what a paradigm shift is, then come back and open a thread with questions.  Otherwise, this one thread, pretty much represents that science is definitely not your best subject.

I think it's about time someone summed up your post here.  I consider myself to have decent reading comprehension even though English is not my first language.  I am relatively well educated in science and consider myself to be an informed layman as my field is technology and has very little to do with physics other then a few staples such as attenuation, ingress and SNR.  And I have a fair bit of experience with forum, crackpots, and trolls.  

Let's put this in context.  This is a rationality centric forum (see the title).  We're here to identify whether claims are rational.  The proof is directly proportional to the claim.  The more exceptional the claim, the more exceptional proof you will require.  

Now, if you have something to say, or a claim to make, you have to first COHERENTLY make that claim.  For example:

1.  I have knowledge that will combine process X with theory Y to extrapolate that Z is possible.
2. I believe that Z theory is wrong because X, Y and Q prove it to be that way.
3. I claim that X is possible and here is an experiment to prove it.

Those are all claims, a discussion can then ensue to judge the accuracy of your claims.

What hurts your credibility is:

1) The fact that you use extremely poor English.  While you may not care, or find it important, it makes you seem uneducated and sloppy.  If you have anything worthwhile to say take your time and present it coherently.  It will go a long way towards convincing people you have something worthwhile to say.  

2) You are not making any claims, you allude at some greater understanding but never actually put it in simple terms.  Once you have done that, you can then elaborate with scientific detail.  Until you have done so, you're just pissing in the wind and smacking your chest.  The only coherent posts in this thread where what other people trying to understand wtf you are claiming. 

3) Quit using ad hominems.  It really hurts your credibility when you call everyone an idiot.  On that note, if you come in a layman forum and claim that everyone is an idiot for not having the same level of physics education as someone that is a physicist (or someone that spends a lot of time reading physics papers that he/she may or may not understand), you are acting in a self defeating manner.  And that my friend, is the definition of an idiot.

In summation, either put up, or shut up.  I'm tired of giving you credit for what you may or not be saying, from other people's perceived understanding.

I got to agree with Ktulu on this one. Now I know this Bullsheeyaatti is going to call me an idiot (not that I really care) but I virtually have no clue what the fuck his whole point is for all this. I have yet to see him do anything but make a few presuppositions about evolution ( not very clearly defined) and then just starts throwing insults and even more obscure bullshit when answered. Probably best to just let this thread die and fall to the bottom. Unless whatever drugs he is on wears off and he decides to type something coherent.

I thought I should clarify

I thought I should clarify some aspects of evolution.

Evolution is not really  'random'. It happens due to the interaction of random processes of genetic mutation and variation of relative frequency of each gene variant, and the non-random selection of the variation most able to survive and multiply in the particular environment.

So it relies on both random and non-random processes.

Purely random 'evolution', i.e. , in the absence of significant environmental pressure, is called genetic drift, i.e. with no apparent direction.

'Evolution' does not occur at the level of the individual, only possibly taking a step at each generation, in the context of a particular inter-breeding group.

evening off. I was thinking about this the other day. As I understand it, evolution is caused by environmental pressures. If that's so, getting control of our environment (indoors) may slow the process. We have air conditioning and heating so we've reduced environmental effects. Personally. I'm no longer compatible with the climatic environment, it's either to hot or to cold most of the time.

Immortality? That's a possibility but a hard one to imagine. If we acquire a peaceful planet immortality would be OK with me. The pinnacle---it would be interesting to be here to see it.

Good post.

now you are talking on 'species', not on the living process with focus on cause, just the description as accepted in the biological circles as to 'their' current description?

 

what you wrote is about what wiki published, right?

 

but to real man, to find out what is causing them to diviate at mitosis would be real science right?

 

For example; if yu could show that a gamma ray burst, actually damaged cells during mitosis, then rendering that variations can come from gamma could be a cool depth to comprehend the mutations, right?

Quote:
'Evolution' does not occur at the level of the individual, only possibly taking a step at each generation, in the context of a particular inter-breeding group.

 

each cell, is an individual in a sense.

 

the organism as you are rendering of a species, dont change as quick as most.

 

think in the sense of converting an auto from gasoline to solar power.  Both are still cars, but what makes em work is completely different.

Genetic mutation is best

Genetic mutation is best considered as random. In this case it is because the specific result is incidental to whatever affected the transcription process so as to cause an error. It could have a cosmic ray, or an overly energetic molecule in the surrounding fluid which hit at such an angle and velocity as to affect the process. Such effects would be extremely unlikely to cause mutations with any consistent functional effect or direction. 

IOW if an event is triggered by a sufficiently complex combination or chain of prior events and states of the environment, it approximates a conceptually 'random' process so closely as to be justifiably treated as such, mathematically at least.

IE, it can only be 'predicted' statistically, probabilistically.

The specific path of an individual molecule in a volume of gas or liquid is as close to random as really matters, even though the mechanics of each collision with other molecules and/or surrounding solid surfaces obey very deterministic laws. It is sometimes proposed that apparently 'truly' random processes such as quantum scale events are 'caused' by some deeper 'reality' of interacting particles, like the molecules in a gas.

Genetic drift occurs when there is no consistent selection pressure acting, leaving just the undirected effects of occasional transcription errors. I made no reference to Wiki, but I am sure it would be described there - it is a long recognised aspect of evolution. The things that can lead to such errors are indeed the subject of scientific study. We don't anything on the scale of a gamma ray burst to explain the basic 'background' level of mutation. A single gamma ray photon would be enough to cause an error. And we are not really talking about damaging cells in any meaningful way.

 

Evolution can only be said to have occurred when some change in the genomes of the individuals making up an inter-breeding group becomes widespread thru the group and so is passed on to future generations.

You still seem to be somewhat misunderstanding the processes involved.

Genetic mutation is best

Genetic mutation is best considered as random. In this case it is because the specific result is incidental to whatever affected the transcription process so as to cause an error. It could have a cosmic ray, or an overly energetic molecule in the surrounding fluid which hit at such an angle and velocity as to affect the process. Such effects would be extremely unlikely to cause mutations with any consistent functional effect or direction. 

IOW if an event is triggered by a sufficiently complex combination or chain of prior events and states of the environment, it approximates a conceptually 'random' process so closely as to be justifiably treated as such, mathematically at least.

IE, it can only be 'predicted' statistically, probabilistically.

The specific path of an individual molecule in a volume of gas or liquid is as close to random as really matters, even though the mechanics of each collision with other molecules and/or surrounding solid surfaces obey very deterministic laws. It is sometimes proposed that apparently 'truly' random processes such as quantum scale events are 'caused' by some deeper 'reality' of interacting particles, like the molecules in a gas.

Genetic drift occurs when there is no consistent selection pressure acting, leaving just the undirected effects of occasional transcription errors. I made no reference to Wiki, but I am sure it would be described there - it is a long recognised aspect of evolution. The things that can lead to such errors are indeed the subject of scientific study. We don't anything on the scale of a gamma ray burst to explain the basic 'background' level of mutation.

perfect.  I couldnt agree more.  It seems random unless you know, which angle, which wavelength caused which change at the exact time, within the same environment, to duplicate it, for any consistancy to be measured..... i am with you on that.

That example is better considered part of 'cultural' evolution, not genetic. A bit nit-picky, but not unimportant. Learned behaviour is only affected by species evolution in that the enhanced ability to learn from experience can 'evolve', but not specific learning.

Fair enough but to qualify and keep it in context.  Our DNA is composed of base paired Nucleotides.  There are only four DNA nucleotides; adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine;  adenine only bonds with thymine and quanine with cytosine.  The combinations, in long chains, of these four nucleotides are genes.  The DNA of these genes "unzips" and those nucleotides are read like a recipe and turn into proteins which are what living things are made of .  Everytime they unzip they produce the same protein.  They will never produce anything other than what the recipe calls for UNLESS one of those nucleotides is damaged, removed or something is added to the original recipe(mutation).  This is the 'random' of evolution.  If the mutation didn't occur then natural selection and other mechanism would have nothing to "work with", if you'll allow me, and evolution wouldn't be what we refer to it as.

ie... photons aint particles, they are wavelengths of energy (see spectrum) and then that means, they are fields, not 'particles' (all cases)

 Bishadi,I've read through

 Bishadi,

I've read through this thread from start to finish, and I have to say, you appear to be one of these people who considers themself extremely intelligent, but can't really back it up with anything of substance. You make general allusions to how you studied Physics as a child, toured the US's universities, publishing a scientific paper, but yet you can't seem to hold onto scientific or rational language for long enough to even make one salient point on this board. 

You apparently don't understand the concept of Evolution, evident from your OP where you reference the 'pinnacle of evolution' - in itself a nonsensical concept; there is no absolute pinnacle - all lifeforms on earth are adapted to enable them to propagate their genes in an as effective way as they can, given the construct (environment and current genetic traits) they find themselves in - Humans are not the pinnacle of all life forms, as you'd very quickly find if you were left naked in the Serengeti, or dumped 2 miles out at sea. Something else would probably end up eating you, while you consider why your bigger brain isn't too much use to you in this particular environment.

You also ridicule the postulated heat death of the universe - now I am not a physicist, but I have read up enough to know that this is a current theory about how the universe (and time) ends that has potential merit, and so stands as a possible conclusion to everything within our current understanding. If you ridicule this, you better have some darned good maths to back up your alternative supposition (whatever that is.. you don't seem able to propose anything yourself of any gravitas).

So here's the rub. If you do consider yourself an intelligent person, you need to prove you have the ability to reason through your arguments in a logical, and understandable way. Contrary to your beliefs, writing confusing half-sentences does not make you sound intelligent on this board, though it may to those of little education where you can blind them with 'wizard of Oz' occlusion; quite the opposite, as many others have stated, it only serves to reduce any respect that others on this board may hold (a default amount is generally given till proved unwarranted) for you. You may not care about this; it depends why you're here, but if you're here to try and work through a rational supposition rather than merely trying to hit everyone over the head with your brilliance (which really isn't working for you) then I would implore you to try being as intelligent as you claim, and use language and reasoned argument to state and  defend your positions.. start with the stating, as after nearly 100 posts I would bet most readers of this thread still don't know what these are. This is not because these readers are stupid, it is because you don't appear to be able to make a case. Ktulu's post above can help you with this. Some of the most intelligent humans are able to take complex ideas and make them understandable to laypeople - you seem to be doing the opposite.

PS, can you provide this scientific paper you allegedly wrote? I would love to read something by you that has full sentences in it. Was it published?

sorry old timer.

 

Evolution and how energy combines mass within the nature of living things, is what the current PARADIGM has failed in.  ie... why do lives even procreate?

 

life is not a reduction of chemical process.    And that FACT (statement) is something even you dont comprehend just by your above claim on 'to propagate their genes' is just STUPID!

That is where i laugh, as the release has already been underway and it is their failed participation within the sciences, that many do not realize the changes are already underway

no and no

 

it was submitted into peer review and as soon as I read the first response, "a photon cannot be slowed per relativity'..... and i went to my professor and said, im done!

So now, i do what i want, when i want, with who i want and I will not publish the transition of mass/energy/time mathematically ever again.

 

what is important, is the 'life', the understanding and living longer by choice

 

not being vindicated!

 

the changes are already in the works, i just so happen to be the idiot stirring up the globe and few know i am even walking around

Any photon whose wavelength is sufficiently close to the peak absorption wavelength of p680 (680nm) will be absorbed efficiently by the pigment and so contribute its energy to the process.Your question as expressed doesn't quite make sense. "Combines the structure"??? WTF?

Photons are particles , each possessing a specific amount of energy, but they also can behave like waves, ie, they exhibit wave–particle duality, exhibiting properties of both waves and particles. Its energy is equal to Planck's constant multiplied by its frequency.

As for 'random', the trajectory of an individual molecule in a volume of gas, or the time at which a particular radio-active atom will decay, are best understood as random, only definable by a statistical function, although they are two different categories of 'random' . No 'misunderstanding' involved, except perhaps on your part. although it is speculated that there may be something like a 'sea' of interacting particles (analogous to gas molecules) which we have yet to detect underlying the random aspects of Quantum Mechanics.

EDIT:
"Random' is a very good and useful model for events which are ultimately caused by a long sequence of interactions, such as the collisions of molecules in a gas, which have no specific collective direction. Treating them this way allows us to describe aspects of their collective behaviour by precise mathematical 'laws', such as the gas laws relating the pressure , volume, and temperature of a defined quantity of gas, or the 'half-life' of a radio-active isotope of an element.

Ok, now I 'think' I

Ok, now I 'think' I understand your question, and how you are defining Evolution..

 

Your question, if I'm not mistaken, is this:

 

Would a complete understanding of the 'real' workings of the universe be a satisfactory criterion for any conscious entity that understands these universal laws to be deemed the pinnacle of evolution?

 

or: "If someone really understands how the whole universe works, is that as complex as that being needs to get"?

 

In this context you are not using 'Evolution' in the darwinian sense, but in a more general context  - if you think we are just rocks that roll, then by your supposition there is no difference between a man and a sentient machine-gun-wielding robot, except one is more 'evolved' because that rock that rolls can also shoot things. so perhaps you are including technology in your evolution paradigm.. I'm not clear on this. What I would say is that there's a high probability that if your 'pinnacle of evolution' can exist, there's a distinct possibility it would have an artificial Intelligence heritage.

 

Regardless, as Vastet has already stated, The arrow of time, Entropy and the heat death of the universe would eventually render this omniscient entity defunct when heat and time finally run out of steam. (Unless that being works out how to reverse entropy - Asimov's "The last question" springs to mind..)

Ok, so you don't know what entropy is. This post confirms it if you think that life creating other complex life 'abuses' entropy. I have to assume you think that increasing complexity in a particular part of the universe reverses entropy in some way. This is absolute nonsense. Increased complexity in a particular part of the universe is only possible at the expense of increased randomness in other parts - with an overall decrease in complexity.

 

Or in So Cal speak, "Dude, it's all like, second law of thermodynamics, man"...

 Vastet is correct when he says "Life accelerates Entropy", and if you dispute this, which from several of your posts you clearly do, you have to back this up with some solid evidence. Please go for your life, because as it stands you are trying to tell us that all great physicists of the 20th century are wrong. (Or just show me your perpetual motion machine..)

I didnt ask a question about evolution.  I comprehend the context of evolution and its implications on a huge front, just like you do.

How about, if "YOU" wanted to comprehend the absolute, would it be 'what?' YOU are and comprehend, not necessarily everything, but uniformly, "how it works"..... and it be 'fact'?

 The arrow of time, Entropy and the heat death of the universe would eventually render this omniscient entity defunct when heat and time finally run out of steam. (Unless that being works out how to reverse entropy - Asimov's "The last question" springs to mind..)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now that is the old paradigm of thinking.

 

what is conservation?  does that law, exist?

 

now if i tap the surface of a pond, we both can imagine that the 'energy' (wave) will equilibrate over the body of the pond and that ideology is what the 'heat death' is all about 

 

but with intellect, remember that energy (wave), is still there, entangling more mass over time.

 

the whole other half of why the energy is coveying and where it goes, is the missing link.   Kind of like the questions left open in theology.

 

funny aint it?

 

 

If Existence only operates one way, is the math the name to know?
