CREATED IN COLLISIONS. “Antiparticles are created everywhere in the universe where high-energy particle collisions take place. High-energy cosmic rays impacting Earth's atmosphere (or any other matter in the Solar System) produce minute quantities of antiparticles in the resulting particle jets, which are immediately annihilated by contact with nearby matter.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

COSMIC ANTIMATTER. “Most matter observable from the Earth seems to be made of matter rather than antimatter. If antimatter-dominated regions of space existed, the gamma rays produced in annihilation reactions along the boundary between matter and antimatter regions would be detectable.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

FEW CRITICAL AMINO ACIDS. “Small changes (e.g., replacement of one amino acid by another) can sometimes cause large changes in structure (this is not always true). Most proteins (particularly the globular proteins) have very similar amino acid composition. A major part of the protein structure acts as a scaffold for the active site. The active site is composed of a relatively few amino acids.” https://lnkd.in/duf9FtUq View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER ON EARTH. “Many different kinds of antiparticles are also produced by (and contained in) cosmic rays. In January 2011, research by the American Astronomical Society discovered antimatter (positrons) originating above thunderstorm clouds; positrons are produced in terrestrial gamma-ray flashes created by electrons accelerated by strong electric fields in the clouds.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

PRODUCTS OF BIOLOGY. “One of the -- disturbing -- findings of biosemiotics is that the more we know about biology the more that we understand that the supposedly higher functions of humans (creativity, faith, understanding, language) are (also) biological in nature.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn

RADIOACTIVE DECAY. “Positrons are produced naturally in β+ decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes (for example, potassium-40) and in interactions of gamma quanta (emitted by radioactive nuclei) with matter. Antineutrinos are another kind of antiparticle created by natural radioactivity (β− decay).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

RELATIONALITY. “Knowledge “is constructed relationally, which is why it is relative. It is constructed in relationship with an Other, be that Other a physical, or material , or biological, or social, or cultural other. Life is as much constructed as it is constructing.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn
