:There's this concept in philosophy called a "heap problem."
:You have one of something. It's not a heap. You add another. It's still not a heap. If you have ten thousand it's certainly a heap. So, at what point do you go from a non-heap to a heap?
:Pfft. A heap is just a human concept. We ose it for intellectual book-keeping because we have limited cognitive capacity but, there is no heap just larger amounts of stuff.
:It's only a problem" to the extent that we're upset by the fact that a heap isn't real. Not like a proton is real, anyway.
:We live in aristotles world of stuff. But, we'd like to live in plato's world of ideas.
:But, in a far off galaxy, you will find protons, you will find the same stuff. But, heaps are just an idea in the minds
:Of limited organisms.
:What about mountains or warmth or the color red or love or consciousness? They're some of my favorite things. They're real to me.
:It's not the universe's fault if your favorites arent well-aligned
:With the nature of reality.
:Well, what's your favorite thing?
:Quark-gluon interactions.
