THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION. “Then came the Cambrian explosion of evolution, starting about 540 m.y. ago, and within about 50 m.y. most of the phyla of modern animals had been generated including the chordates to which we belong. Some animals were a meter long.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825219302636?via=ihub View in LinkedIn

“ANTIPARTICLES (e+, p−, D−, anti-3He) constitute a golden channel for this search, since the rare antiparticle component of DM annihilation/decay products, would give rise to an observable excess on these fluxes with respect to the tiny standard astro-physical expectations, not influenced by the otherwise large background of standard CRs.” (DM = dark matter; CR = cosmic ray). https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

NO HEN’S TOOTH. “Since DM is abundant in the Universe, particle astrophysics in space is the right environment for indirect searches of DM particles.” (DM = dark matter). https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

DARK MATTER. “Its particle nature is still the subject of exciting speculations since no evidence has been found, neither in direct production at the LHC, nor in direct detection at underground experiments, over an amazingly large interval of masses and physical properties.” (LHC = The Large Hadron Collider). https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

EVERYTHING DECAYS. “Any kind of order, even that as simple as the arrangement of atoms in a molecule, is unnatural and happens only by chance encounters that reverse the general trend. Life is a rare and unreasonable thing.” (The 2nd law of thermodynamics, and the unstable equilibrium of life). https://lnkd.in/e9Getcik View in LinkedIn

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. “The existence of Dark Matter (DM) is well established and supported by a variety of astrophysical and cosmological observations.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER COSMIC RAYS. “The detection of anti-4He or heavier antinuclei in CRs would shatter our current understanding of early Universe physics with broad cosmological implications or reveal something completely unforeseen in the realm of astrophysics, such as e.g. an anomalous abundance of dense antibaryon stars or anti-cloudlets in our Galaxy.” (CR = cosmic rays). https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

DISCONNECT. “At the same time, theories that either predict the existence of nuclear antimatter in segregated domains or its total absence in the current Universe have no firm foundation in observational data.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn

NO EXPLANATION. “Anti-H atoms exhibit exactly the same emission spectra as H atoms. Limits on proton lifetime does not provide evidence for baryon number violating interactions.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10686-021-09708-w.pdf View in LinkedIn
