This is what is commonly referred >to as "literal death." Since my short answer was unclear... I'll try a long one :-) It seems to me... when it stops being 'gorgeous'... it is also most likely the same instant, when Life*... which had been motivating a particular assemblage of atoms and molecules into cooperative action... 'recycles'. The particular assemblage of 'matter', which is no longer motivated into cooperative effort, begins to succumb to the accumulating effects of entrophy. A condition, which the term 'literal death' would seem to apply... at least from my 'point of view'... at this 'point in time'. (I prefer my short answer... rather than this, "baffle 'em with BS," long one :-) sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
