If I had to guess, I think the boundaries were maintained by three things: the surface tension of the cytoplasm, the cytoskeleton proteins that help shape the cytoplasm, and the polarized nature of the cell membrane's phospholipid bilayer causes the newly exposed ones to reestablish equilibrium by rearranging into a structure where their positively charged tails can avoid the water molecules and the negatively charged heads can remain exposed to water.

That we humans came about through chaotic chance! If you don’t believe in a higher power, one must ask “well then how the heck did we come to be?” And on the other side of the fence, no matter how many higher powers beyond our creators there is, there HAS TO BE a random chaotic event that resulted in the birth of intelligent design somewhere along the way.

​@lowgpu1687 I get your point, but that is pure imagination. Completely natural, of course, as it's an evolved human behaviour to question things Ultimately: no. Based on everything we have verifiably observed about our world, there is simply no way for this organism to 'feel'. To imagine 'feeling' without any mechanism by which to convert an input into a signal, and without anything to decode and interpret that signal, is impossible. It would be like listening without a means to perceive soundwaves, there just isn't anything about these organisms which allows for that kind of thing to happen What's cool though is that, despite how different we are, we're distant cousins to that little cell.

[@elementgermanium]

@@lowgpu1687 Not in any meaningful sense, no. Is it “possible” that there’s an invisible, intangible, inaudible unicorn standing in my room as I type this? Technically, but not in a meaningful way. Same here. A single-celled organism doesn’t have a brain. Whether you believe in an immaterial form of consciousness (a “soul”) or not, the brain is vital to cognition- either as the source of consciousness outright or the interface by which it senses and interacts with the world. (Personally, I think “souls” are nonsense, but just covering my bases here.) Even if single-celled organisms had “souls” and thus a form of consciousness, they’d be cut off from any ability to gather or process information about the outside world. They’d be in a permanent state of total sensory deprivation, so death would be a mercy. Either way- there’s no physical pain.
