ANTIMATTER ON EARTH. “Many different kinds of antiparticles are also produced by (and contained in) cosmic rays. In January 2011, research by the American Astronomical Society discovered antimatter (positrons) originating above thunderstorm clouds; positrons are produced in terrestrial gamma-ray flashes created by electrons accelerated by strong electric fields in the clouds.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

PRODUCTS OF BIOLOGY. “One of the -- disturbing -- findings of biosemiotics is that the more we know about biology the more that we understand that the supposedly higher functions of humans (creativity, faith, understanding, language) are (also) biological in nature.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn

RADIOACTIVE DECAY. “Positrons are produced naturally in β+ decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes (for example, potassium-40) and in interactions of gamma quanta (emitted by radioactive nuclei) with matter. Antineutrinos are another kind of antiparticle created by natural radioactivity (β− decay).” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimatter View in LinkedIn

It is constructed in relationship with an Other, be that Other a physical, or material , or biological, or social, or cultural other.

ORGANISMS AS TRANSLATORS. “If all meaning creation is, per definition, is translation, it means that every living organism is a translator. It further means that one needs to consider translational actions at both infraspecific and interspecific levels. It is not only humans that translate and interpret. Communication is coexistent with life, and life itself is the lower threshold of semiosis.” https://lnkd.in/dATmMuTJ View in LinkedIn
