Difference between and living and non -living
one question that i found most intriguing is that what actually is the difference between living and non-living???
well if i ask this question to anyone around they would obviously say something like
living people can move around whereas non-living cannot..
living people can think and they are intelligent ..
living people has emotions whereas non-living doesn't..
and what not... the list continues...
but what if we design a robot which has artificial intelligence..
which can think on its own ..(if we can develop a program to make it think then we can also develop program to express emotion)..
so where should we catagorize these robots??? they behave in exactly the same way as any other living being,execpt that the dermatological difference...
Also, we are made up of various molecules( our skin is made up of one kind of molecules our bones of other kind etc).. but these molecules are made up of atoms( usually Nitrogen ,oxygen and hydrogen )... even these the non living things are made up of various molecules (including Nitrogen , oxygen and hydrogen).. so wher comes the difference?? we both are made up of the same material....
the difference is that we think we are living .. we think we are superior to other things available around us..its our brain( even which is made up of some complex molecules and atoms afterall...) which takes electrical signals from various senses of our body and make us feel we are living...so, its actually a feeling that we are different from other things..

intersertin
The way of ur thinkin is quite interrestin... the thin line between livin and non livin can be interpreted in many ways...
In 1 way we humans r also very complex kind of robots wic r far more advanced from the lastest A.I robot we say see now .Luckily we control ourselfs by our brain wic is inturn the most complex processor ......
we know tat all organisms r livin example-ameoba is considered livin but a satellite or supercomputer non-livin also a super computer interprets data more intellectually than ameoba or
even a monkey... ameoba only searches for food(energy for its survival)but super computer u know!!
So anything wic works for itself for its survival is livin...
livin is abt how anything can adapt to the surroundin and live for its benfits..
cockroacks are more livin than humans becoz they r prepared n evolved for any climatic hazards then we r....
generally we think abt basic examples like living people can move arnd etc..its really good that u have given examples of artificialintelligence.....robot......molecules ..but i admire wat u have written :)
the last statement should be changed..
its actually other way around..
we r feeling becoz we r living...
by the way nice stuff.
