Gaia - What Is Life?

[voidroid]

It's pretty much an essay (which I actually wrote more or less out of my own free will) and doesn't leave much room for discussion. But hopefully you'll read it anyway. My main sources of information in writing this are as follows: In the Beginning by John Gribbin, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, and Wikipedia.

Dear God....the only thing I remembered was about the human sexual reproduction system...

That's only the tip of the iceburg. Life is a much more complex stream of events. Really, it's a side effect of creation, which in and of itself is life in even more of a determinable state than organic life. While stating a planet, or a even a star as a complete living being may be taking it into extremes, the massive scale of this example: a galaxy is indeed very much alive. They way it's maintained through a process of gravitation via clusters of dark matter, massive clouds experiencing 'sonic boom' effects that create short lived stars which then explode to create more stars, and the birthing process of black holes from galaxies. Then of course, evolution from one form of galaxy to another. Simple cluster galaxies of the olde times evolved with time into the spiral galaxies we see today (as the cloud galaxies crashed into each other), and in time, spiral galaxies become eliptical galaxies, much like our own galaxy - the milky way - will become when it runs into the Andromeda galaxy

How ironic that I hate reading, yet I work at a library...:p

I find it ironic that I hate reading, but do it anyway. In fact, that by STRICT definition is the epitome of irony. :P
