Fungi are more closely related to humans than to plants, but are so diverse in form and lifestyle they might as well come from outer space. View in LinkedIn

NEVER FORGET THIS. “99.9% of all species that have existed are extinct (Raup, 1986)”. https://lnkd.in/dsrys6uc View in LinkedIn

AN ISSUE OF COSMIC SCALE. “An analogous situation can be realized in heavy ion collisions at CERN, although boosted to much larger energies and densities. Such a dense and hot shock wave will induce high-energy processes that can only be realized in the very early universe. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn

GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE is “similar to the shock that blasts the outer layers of a star when it explodes as a supernova, except that here the surrounding plasma is extremely dense and thus ultra-high-energy interactions occur very frequently.” https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn

BEYOND EXPLOSIVE. “The gravitational collapse of a ball of radiation the size of the horizon at the QCD epoch onto a black hole of a solar mass is an extremely violent process, where a very dense plasma of relativistic particles acquire energies thousands of times their mass out of the gravitational potential energy of the collapse.” (QCD = quark matter). https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn

MATTER FROM BLACK HOLES. “Baryogenesis is somehow linked with PBH formation and that the reason why the observed BAU is so small is due to the extreme rarity of the number of Hubble domains that collapse to form PBH, which is itself responsible for a late matter domination after equality.” (PBH = primordial black hole; BAU = baryon asymmetry). https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn

THE FIRST MOMENTS. “All the ingredients for efficient electroweak baryogenesis occur naturally around those rare and very localized hot spots associated with primordial black hole collapse during the QCD epoch.” (Hint: QCD does not mean Quit Claim Deed, but 10(-5) to 10(-3) seconds after the Big Bang). https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn

THE EARLY UNIVERSE. “Baryon number density is then radiated away from those hot pockets, by diffusion through the relativistic plasma at the speed of sound, s= /3‾√3, until they are homogeneously distributed within a fraction of a second, well before primordial nucleosynthesis.”"" https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2019.0091 View in LinkedIn
