"Clear, but NOT. Just what was stupid? Stupid is generally when you see the evidence and still say, "I believe...""
I meant, stupid point... Of course water and oil separate. Oil is lighter. It has nothing to go with "order" in the way that you suggest.
sorry.

The separation of oil and water has nothing to do with their density (only the fact that their separation forms layers in a gravitational field is due to their density, but they will still separate into droplets in zero-G), and their separation *is* a valid example of self-organizing order.
