DARK ENERGY. “And it is only at the age of a few billion years that the Dark Energy component, a name hiding our ignorance of its true nature, becomes dominant, leading to a universe of accelerated expansion, where galaxies will find themselves isolated from each other in a (relatively) near future.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

NEVER FORGET THIS. “Another major drawback of the Standard Model is the fact that it uses two predominant components, dark matter and dark energy, supposed to represent about 95% of the universe energy density, but which have remarkably resisted to experimental identification so far.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

CURIOUS. “Several authors have noted that our universe is very similar to a gravitationally empty or coasting universe (neither accelerating or decelerating).” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

PROPOSED SOLUTION. “On this basis, Benoit-Levy and Chardin proposed the so-called “Dirac-Milne” universe, a universe containing the same amount of matter and anti-matter (hence Dirac’s name), endowed respectively with positive and negative mass.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

1ST PROBLEM. “Taken at face value, there are two observational problems facing the Dirac-Milne universe. The first problem is related to an overproduction, by nearly a factor 10, of helium-3.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

MUDDLED FINDING. “But helium-3 is a bad probe of the primordial universe since it can be both destroyed and produced after the initial phases of the universe. As a result, it has sparked little enthusiasm from experimentalists, and the measurements, clearly below the prediction of the Dirac-Milne universe, are probably inconclusive since the authors themselves note that (their) “result for 3He is exactly the opposite of what one would expect (...).” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

“ISAAC NEWTON was so haunted by that sense of the transcendent that he devoted the latter part of his life to alchemical studies.” https://lnkd.in/dCkkSu3Y View in LinkedIn

A Caganer (Catalan pronunciation: [kəɣəˈne]) is a figurine depicted in the act of defecation appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia and neighbouring areas with Catalan culture such as Andorra, Valencia, and Northern Catalonia (in southern France). It is most popular and widespread in these areas, but can also be found in other areas of Spain (Murcia), Portugal, and southern Italy (Naples)." " https://lnkd.in/dkEcYBAS View in LinkedIn
