HIGHER ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES. “The candidate organizing concepts include self-organization, energy landscapes, chemical motors that supply energy, and above all, evolution and replication – as biological systems are often far from equilibrium. Their study is made even more difficult because evolution has fine tuned earlier organizing principles. Thus, what we can observe is often the remnants of many interacting evolutionary processes.” (Santa Fe Institute on vestigial evolutionary systems). https://lnkd.in/d-PcKak View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE INFLUENCE. “One of the outstanding issues for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is how the presence of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) affects its host galaxy. Observations have shown that the growth of SMBHs is tightly linked with their host galaxies, as revealed by correlations between the black hole mass and the bulge stellar mass.” (SMBH = supermassive black hole). https://lnkd.in/dsQ34Hf View in LinkedIn

END OF THIS PAPER, an extraordinary tour de force led by mathematical modeling and compared to real data, again revealing in detail that black holes are largely outside in depth observation and measurement, by definition, and that understanding has to largely be derived from theoretical studies and models. https://lnkd.in/dhkbfnG View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “The present paper focuses on the second of these three phases. Consider a massive binary at the center of a galaxy. Five variables are needed to completely specify the shape and orientation of the binary's orbit. The binary is assumed to interact with stars, causing changes in its orbital elements. In the simplest representation, the binary's orbit would evolve smoothly and deterministically with respect to time.” https://lnkd.in/dhkbfnG View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE MERGERS STAGE (2). “When they are close enough together—roughly speaking, within their mutual spheres of gravitational influence—the two SBHs form a bound pair. Their two-body orbit continues to shrink due to exchange of energy and angular momentum with nearby matter: through gravitational slingshot interactions with stars or gravitational torques from gas.” (SBH = supermassive black hole). https://lnkd.in/dhkbfnG View in LinkedIn

MERGED GIANT BLACK HOLES. “Begelman et al. (1980), who broke down the likely evolution of a massive binary into three stages: (1) In the early phases of the galaxy merger, the two SBHs are far enough apart that they move independently in the potential of the merger remnant. Both SBHs sink toward the center of the potential due to dynamical friction against the stars.” (SBH = supermassive black hole). https://lnkd.in/dhkbfnG View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this last of two weekends looking EO Wilson’s eusocial ants. “As the worker ants lack the means of reproduction that humans are usually innately born with, they are coerced by the ruling ant-queen class in order to survive as a colony, and a species. Individual ants cannot reproduce without a queen and are exploited by them as such. Humans, while we do possess reproductive independence, have been violently, historically and exploited by the ruling class, our bosses. Individual human beings cannot live without a job, and bosses exploit us as such. They hold the means of production that we need in order to survive in this world as an individual, as a family, or as a species. We are not ants. We will overcome the most horrific socioeconomic…
