Here's a mind=blown thought. There *really* no ''two'' of anything. Apples. You get an apple and another apple. In a sense, you have two apples. But - they're not the same. They're in two different points in space. They're different shapes, slightly. Their molecules and atom and subatomic things are moving in different ways. We just call it ''two'' for OUR human convenience, because we like patterns. They are well traveled roads in our brain that are comforting, so we put them into a 'category'. But one apple may be sweet and the other may have worms on the inside, making them quite different. So really, there's only 2 or more of something because humans are really BIG and miss a lot of details and our brains tend to stereotype things... and... people.
