ROOTED IN BIOLOGY. “Biosemiotics argue that meaning-making is not a purely logical system of differences at play, but part of the tools that have evolved to assist organisms to survive and adapt.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn

BOTTOM UP. “As Deacon puts it eloquently: “ Minds were not somehow grafted onto biological systems; mentality emerged from and grew out of organisms during their evolution.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn

RELATEDNESS. “One of the key tenets of biosemiotic thinking is the unity of life...all life has a common ancestor and no living organism, no matter how far evolved (like humans) stops being a biological entity.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn

OUR VERY BEST HOPE. “Assuming a 100% conversion of antiprotons to antihydrogen, it would take 100 billion years to produce 1 gram or 1 mole of antihydrogen (approximately 6.02×10(23) atoms of anti-hydrogen). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

LIMITING GATE NEARLY RESOLVED. “The biggest limiting factor in the large-scale production of antimatter is the availability of antiprotons. Recent data released by CERN states that, when fully operational, their facilities are capable of producing ten million antiprotons per minute.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

FOURTH MILESTONE. “On 26 April 2011, ALPHA announced that they had trapped 309 antihydrogen atoms, some for as long as 1,000 seconds (about 17 minutes). This was longer than neutral antimatter had ever been trapped before.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

THIRD MILESTONE. “In November 2010, the ALPHA collaboration announced that they had so trapped 38 antihydrogen atoms for about a sixth of a second. This was the first time that neutral antimatter had been trapped. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

REALITY. We are "both spectators and actors." (From Being to Becoming (1979) by Nobel Laureate, Ilya Prigogine). https://lnkd.in/dDHtwje View in LinkedIn

SECOND MILESTONE. “In late 2002 the ATHENA project announced that they had created the world's first "cold" antihydrogen.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn
