Fire: Alive or not

Why can fire be not considered a living thing?? It possesses all the features that a living being does. Please someone guide me...

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Thank God u know Mein bahut bore ho rahi thi

Jahnvi Verma - 6 years ago

Yeah , you must have heard people saying that fire destroys everything in it's path and it dies out and stuff like that right ?

But first tell me , how would you define a Living Thing ? I can explain it to you but you'll be able to understand it better if I explain it along your lines of thought .

Think about it , this could very well turn out to be an interesting thing to ponder over :)

Here are a few points:

Fire does not have cells.

Cells are the main component of something we might consider "living".

Fire does not act as a rational agent.

Fire doesn't always seem to tend to the behavior of benefit of itself. It will keep on burning until all of its resources have been consumed, leading to its own destruction, which brings us to...

The population of fire does not stabilize based on the resources of its environment.

Most organisms (excluding us) use resources in a manner in which the resources used by them will generate faster or equally fast as the rate at which they use the resources.

Fire cannot evolve.

Although it can be argued that large scale fires "evolve" in a sense, it's not the same thing. The fire doesn't gain new traits, it just gets bigger.
