If you take warm water, you have little order, but if you freeze it, you have order that forms the solid of ice.
The order of life is created from energy from geological vents and the sun dissipating where replication is a good way to do so.
Basically, life replicates because it is acting as entropy on the environment.
Single celled organisms came to be because of energy dissipation and hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecular interaction.
Emotions are waaaaaaay more abstract.
When you eat and shit, the shit is in a more disordered state. You built order in yourself but made the universe more disordered.
You know how oil and water don't mix. Something like that is how life came to be.
Basically, something got energy, the energy spread out, created order, and the most convenient way for it to spread is by life eating stuff
All the energy of your body likely came from the sun.
Life is nothing more than a really good solar powered engine.
I agree that emotions are far more abstract than anything a single-celled organism experiences, but I tend to think they are basically super-complex versions of sensations, involving far more neurons.
I love mathematical elegance, and the math behind life is gorgeous.
I would love to know more about the math behind life.
😄
Emotions are only slightly caused by neurons.
Is cortisol a neuron?
I love the math behind physics, and any science has elegant math that can blow the mind.
How about adrenaline?
Testosterone?
Cortisol and adrenaline affect neurons, no? Else they would be less relevant to emotions, right?
Affect and caused by are different.
And, I'm citing hormones.
Right. Neurotransmitters, which are certain types of hormones, right?
Like adrenaline and testosterone
No, different system. Endocrine system.
how is dik make hard
... What?
Okay, so noradrenaline and norepinephrine, for example, are neurotransmitters, while adrenaline refers to the hormone. I just looked it up. Is this right?
Adrenaline-epinephrine
=
man i'm hungry
Oh, noradrenaline IS norepinephrine, isn't it?
No. Your adrenaline glands are right above your kidneys.
Yes, I knew where the adrenal glands were.
Which isn't in your brain.
So for something to be a neurotransmitter, it has to be produced in the brain?
Hormones are too big to enter the brain. It's called the blood brain boundary.
In the brain or nervous system. For example, serotonin is in the nerve ganglia of the gut.
Okay
Hormones are too big to enter the brain. They act on other organs.
