STASIS WITH CHANGE. “The Universe will have provided the amazing capacity to both constrain reality by rigid laws and symmetries and simultaneously provide for evolutionary change. All known anisotropy and violations of symmetry would be resolved. It would be no longer necessary for physicists to claim that the direction of time in our universe should be reversible, contrary to all observation.” https://lnkd.in/d4BvAHFn View in LinkedIn

CLOCK SWITCH. “What remains to be fully elucidated is the functional significance of this potential transcriptional switch from canonical CLOCK–BMAL1 control to MYC-dependent signaling, and therefore the extent of the prospective shared gene expression network in normal and transformed cells that regulates metabolism.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

CONSEQUENT RESOLUTIONS. “Acceptance of the reality of the collapse of the wave function would require no more of us than the acceptance that there were certain initial conditions at the Big Bang. There would be no conflict between relativity and quantum theory. Schrodinger's cat could be either dead or alive, but not both.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CLOCK INNARDS. “These data suggest a counterbalance may exist between the transcriptional networks of the circadian clock and MYC.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

NO ARROW OF TIME. “In conclusion, if the STH was accepted, the fact that all the laws of physics do not have a preferred direction in time would be rooted in reality via the antiuniverse.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend featuring an article linking abnormal circadian rhythms of cells to at least one cause of cancer down to a molecular level. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-018-0271-8?fbclid=IwAR01C2Z4J5lxVYDLhxIb9dPb3fhNSZSxwimZvhHaJ4n3-nVPpkt2PNqoukk View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING PROGRAMMING. “The result is machines which work in mysterious ways. Computer software is being evolved in similar ways, randomly modified, selecting the fittest. If there has ever been any trace of true randomness or quantum uncertainty in the universe, it will by now have been amplified to overwhelming proportions by the sources of unpredictability above.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this encyclopedic and thoughtful paper on the arrow of time by an author outside the traditional club of quantum physicists. It was largely ignored possibly because of the lack of membership and possibly because the ideas were not mainstream. Regardless it is a tour de force and worth close consideration. https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
