Phyzzle posted:Life (all life) is self-aware? No, I don't think so. While concepts like that are hard to define, just about no one would say that self-awareness is a necessary aspect of being alive. Perception has nothing to do with with self awareness. And Information in the scientific sense has nothing to do with things like words in a books, you are thinking of meaning.

Ytlaya posted:Your argument is very similar to people who, when discussing faster-than-light travel, say "but 150 years ago we thought airplanes were impossible!" as argument in favor of FTL being possible (I'm referring to things actually moving that fast, not stuff involving wormholes or something). There's a big difference between not yet knowing how to do something and something not making sense on a more fundamental level. Well we have real valid understandings of the light speed barrier and why it is impassable. Dark matter & Dark energy are literally things beyond what we can perceive, there indeed could be anything from our limited perspective because we know nothing. While discussing it might not be practical, humanity discusses impractical poo poo all the time.
