THE BEST CONCEPT EVER. “Dirac had shown that antimatter appears as the matter of negative energy going backwards in time.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

PARITY UNIVERSE. “The Dirac-Milne Universe is a universe that contains as much matter as antimatter.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

NEGATIVE ENERGY. “Since fermions always come in pairs, the vacuum breaks down with pair creation when a electron of mass me is confined in a potential well of depth larger than −2mec2 and not mec2, so that the electron has a negative total energy of −mec2 when the vacuum starts to break down.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

NOT EXTREME CONDITIONS. “Surprisingly, even at low fields, such a gravitational polarization will lead to observational consequences.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

THE ORIGINS OF THE MYTH. “Because 1970s conjectures that whole-mantle convection and plate tectonics operated throughout most of Earth history dominate paleodynamic literature, studies of the magnetization of Precambrian rocks have mostly interpreted data in these terms.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

TECTONIC MINDSET. “Phanerozoic lithosphere motions are well documented by paleomagnetic recordings of plate-tectonic sundering of supercontinent Pangea and complex dispersion and assembly of major fragments to present-day configurations during the last 600 m.y.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

THE PERSISTENT MYTH. “Precambrian paleomagnetism? Evidence often cited for a permanent liquid core and ancient plate tectonics comes from paleomagnetic interpretations that may be in error.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC SHIELD THESIS. “The Cambrian explosion of evolution produced almost all phyla of modern animals within about 50 m.y., possibly because the newly-formed strong dipolar magnetic field provided a shield against ionized radiation.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

WARREN’S EPITAPH. “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to fit facts.” Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Watson, in A Scandal in Bohemia (A.C. Doyle, 1891). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

WITH THE HELP OF FRIENDS. “Warren passed away leaving behind a manuscript of more than 39,000 words, which he judged to be 95 percent complete—with “all the hard parts” done. Colleagues, friends, and family have picked up this legacy and carried it the last steps. The great man’s final paper will be published posthumously in 2019.” https://lnkd.in/dNVjJKA9 View in LinkedIn
