If you read the thread called "mirror test of self awareness" in this forum your question Should be answered.

Quite right. By the way is your hat in any danger?

The thread is called mirror test of self awareness please read. you will see my point. Besides a "real contibution" would imply an actual answer not a question of this uninformed type.

Having taken part in a thread that challenged the mirror test (I believe correctly). This Ambiguity throws up a question. If there are animals selfaware and animals not selfaware means we have an awareness graph. This also means we have a point at which basic selfawareness starts. Any ideas what that animal or genus might be?

its easy to look into the shadows and see monsters (my anticonspiracy theory saying) give life a go its easy really (very cheesy) probably this has been said before but i've never consciously heard it... never gamble with more than you can afford to loose.(common sense) Time is part of the process that is our universe and as you and I are part of the universe we both observe and experience this process.(random) This is my favorite but I don't claim authorship "The stone age didn't end because they ran out of stones"(for rose spec's wearers)

The recent court case in america is what has finally decided me on the matter of evolution. the argument being that of intelligent design*. this is about as close to actual proof of the theory as is possible to get. *the argument being that advocates say they had found a microbe which couldn't be simplirfied. Prooved wrong. As for the big bang.... the universe did start somewhere thats for shizz (to quote snoop) but its now common thinking that it was more of an inflation than a simple explosion so needs definition as a question.

Time is part of the process that is our universe and as you and I are part of the universe we both observe and experience this process.

i think your right, I see no reason to assume that the inability to recognise your reflection should result in this absolute. Dogs are very capable of learning basic tasks and interacting with the pack. This must mean atleast a basic sense of the self in order to inturpret the behaviour of others. This however doesn't mean that all socially interactive animals are, wilderbeast for instance, evolved to be as stupid as possible* and so I feel is unlikely to have a sense of self. Somewhere then there must excist an animal that has just an iota of awareness. * they must be unintellegent in order for swam intellegence too work.

how long after?

time isn't quantifiable. its purely a measure imposed by us.the only way time could be measured is useing planks min length to describe a unit, and even then its diferent for every body in the universe.

Thats fair enough, if you can move the thread thanks. I'm just a noob looking for some help fleshing out or destroying this theory thats been encroaching on my ponderings for so long. Thanks for your input Chris your absolutely right, what I really need is help with the math, but that part of the theory is more speculation. The main part is the energy/spacetime interaction.

Hi anilkumar I see you've posted on my thread that "theory" explains it. As for the maths I'd need alot of help 2 express.

I am aware the m = mass, but in my theory energy/spacetime interaction is matter, the equation describes the amount of energy needed.

E=MC2 says energy and matter are the same You are quite right in saying that everything is a process, this however doesn't refute the existance of matter.

comprehensive answer thank you. I imagine the stress' on the arms are mostly tension (swing through the trees, carrying etc) so no need for a patella (though an elbowcap would save the pain of hiting my funnybone).

Whilst walking the dogs this morning, pondering the world around me. The thought struck "why have we got kneecaps and not elbowcaps"

I believe the universe fundamentaly is made of 2 things (for want of a better word) ENERGY and SPACETIME. I think the start of our universe was a black hole (being made of spacetime) that, having reached a crittical mass, would reach planks max temperature at the core thus melting spacetime creating an event that creates our universe. In this event energy condenses spacetime into matter (imagine your fist is energy and rubber foam is spacetime, the fist grabs the foam thus creating a dimple in spacetime E=MC2) my Question, please tell me why this statement is wrong
