JAK:They look in a mirror (or TV monitor) and realize they are seeing their own image. Lower animals tend to see their own reflection and react as if the image was another animal.
Thanks. I did not know that. I've seen the evidence but drew no conclusions about it. Seems a valid conclusion though.
The difference between us and the apes is that we made the mirror.

JAK:Gravity appears to move oppositely to entropy. As interstellar gas condenses, stars (high energy sources) are formed. Essentially, resources go from relatively disordered, low energy sources (high entropy) to well ordered, complex, systematic, high energy sources (low entropy).
You say, "potato" ....I say, "po..tah..to".
However, if gravity is not an 'attracting' force, stillness would be perfect zero entropy, right?


If it's not simple, then it's probably wrong.
