>>5030846 Then you are probably not a star. I will let you draw your own conclusions from that.

how to find out: 1: figure out what "alive" means. 2: compare that to definition of a star. you're welcome.

Stars are very energetic. That sort of energy tends to obliterate structures. Stars also don't seem to act upon volition (that we've detected).

i guess one could argue that seeing as how we're made with the same raw material as anything else in the world, everything would be in a state of alive or dead, but seeing how there's no way to prove this, i'm gonna have to say probably not
