MATTER PRODICTION. “One can also envisage a co-baryogenesis scenario e.g. via the processes which violate B and B′ but conserve B = B + B′.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

CONJECTURE. “The compact stars in M sector can be the mirror neutron stars (MNS) or anti-mirror neutron stars (AMNS) consisting respectively of the MB or AMB.” (M= mirror; AMB = anti-mirror baryons; MB = mirror baryons). https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

EXTRAORDINARY IDEA. “Transitions in the MNS…can create the cores of ordinary matter (or antimatter) in their interior.” (MNS = mirror neutron stars). https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

NEUTRON STARS. “In both cases these cores can be detectable as hot compact sources emitting the photons in the far UV and soft X- ray ranges, the photons in the far UV and soft X- ray ranges, but this electromagnetic emission cannot trace their composition (matter or antimatter).” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

HIGH ENERGY GAMMA RAYS. “However, the presence of interstellar medium makes the difference. Namely, accretion of interstellar gas on the MNS with O matter core can only heat it and induce X-ray emission. However, in the case of AMNS, the accreted gas will annihilate on the antimatter core producing gamma-rays with energies up to a GeV or so.” (MNS = mirror neutron stars; AMNS = anti-mirror neutron stars; (O = ordinary). https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

PAIN. “There appear to be at least three general types of physical pain, each associated with a certain profile of ion channel activation: thermal (heat, cold, capsaicin), chemical (lactic acid buildup), and mechanical (punctures, abrasions, etc).” http://opentheory.net/PrincipiaQualia.pdf View in LinkedIn

The ancient fair of St Narcis in Girona, celebrating the patron saint, goes on for days. https://lnkd.in/dsY82Kqn View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend examines the newly discovered phenomena of electroreception in bees, which may be widespread in insects. This new sense gives the bee a new experience of the world and flowers, which co-evolved in tight synchrony with their pollinators, helped create this new sensorium for their special relationship. https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

BEE CRITICAL. “While bees carry out fewer total flower visits than other pollinators, they are responsible for about half of all crop pollination.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT CO-ASSOCIATION. “Flowers use bees as vehicles to enhance pollen transport and fertilization, while bees greatly benefit from pollen and nectar as food sources. This co-evolutionary relationship turns out to be rich and complex.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn
