GROUP THINK OF THE ERA. “These are only a few examples of the many that exist. Possibly relevant is the observation that all of these aggregates share similar features and so there may have been little or no dispersal or aggregation until latest Proterozoic time (Meert, 2014).” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

DARK ENERGY. “And it is only at the age of a few billion years that the Dark Energy component, a name hiding our ignorance of its true nature, becomes dominant, leading to a universe of accelerated expansion, where galaxies will find themselves isolated from each other in a (relatively) near future.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

PREVAILING DOGMA. “Piper (2018) illustrated a little-varying Proterozoic supercontinent (Fig. 32b) whose core aggregate was fixed in Proterozoic latitude (which is incompatible with the geodetic expectation that the spin equator be parallel, not perpendicular, to megacontinent/megaocean dichotomy boundary) until it sundered when modern plate tectonics began in the very late Proterozoic.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

PLATE ASSUMPTIONS. “Some investigators infer intricate aggregations and sunderings much more chaotic than modern plate behavior of hypothetical supercontinents Columbia and Rodinia (Fig. 32a) found little change from 1000 to 750 m.y. ago but rationalized that plate activity occurred during that era without differential motions.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

SELECTIVE DATA FITTING. “Nevertheless, there are few relevant dates and selective use of those ambiguous data to fit conflicting models has impeded progress. Buchan (2013) saw only a single continent (northern North America + Greenland) as usefully constrained during the Proterozoic.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

DIFFERENT KNOWING. “That the mind itself has a higher state of existence, beyond reason, a superconscious state, and that when the mind gets to that higher state, then this knowledge beyond reasoning comes.” (William James, Varieties, page 397, 1902) https://lnkd.in/dSyN7rAC View in LinkedIn

FLAWED DOGMA. “At the end of inflation, when the universe is not even 10(−30) seconds old, a new phase of very violent deceleration is supposed to start, leading, about 10(5) years later (virtually an eternity compared to the two previous epochs), to a period where matter, until then mostly irrelevant, manages eventually to become the majority component while radiation as well as dark energy are then totally negligible.” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn

STANDARD MODEL FAILINGS. “In particular, there does not exist any precise fundamental theory allowing to understand how one can not only enter but also leave this phase of inflation. A time slightly too long will lead to a virtually empty universe, whereas a time slightly too short will lead to the re-collapse of the universe in a few Planck times (10(−44 0) s).” https://lnkd.in/daA2SgMy View in LinkedIn
