The St Narcis Fair of Girona is completely mediaeval in feel with processions following agnostic figures and revelling until the very early hours for days on end. View in LinkedIn

JOHN CAGE’S ‘FOUND ART’. “In the ’70’s, with inspirations like Thoreau and Joyce, Cage took literary texts and transformed them into music. “Roratorio, an Irish Circus on Finnegan’s Wake” (1979), was an outline for re-envisioning any work of literature as music. With a dynamic optimism, he sensed music everywhere, to be made from anything.” https://lnkd.in/dGWvVhiN View in LinkedIn

MATTER LOCALITY. “According to the accepted conviction, the universe in our neighborhood consists solely of matter, and the existence of macroscopically large antimatter objects is absolutely excluded. This is in accordance with the conventional picture that the excess of baryons over antibaryons in the Universe is generated by Sakharov’s mechanism.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

NEW TOOLS. “These lines can be probed in dedicated observations by forthcoming sensitive X-ray spectroscopic missions XRISM and Athena and in wide-field X-ray surveys like SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

SPECTRAL FINGERPRINT. “In astrophysically plausible cases of the interaction of neutral atmospheres or winds from antistars with ionized interstellar gas, the hadronic annihilation will be preceeded by the formation of excited ̄ and He ̄ atoms. These atoms rapidly cascade down to low levels prior to annihilation giving rise to a series of narrow lines which can be associated with the hadronic annihilation gamma-ray emission.”""h https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

ANTISTARS. “The existence of macroscopic objects from antimatter (antistars) is envisaged in some models of baryogenesis. Searches for antistars has been usually carried out in gamma-rays through hadronic annihilation of matter.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

THE KEY. “Our mechanism should produce also the heavier antinuclei, and thus AMS-02 can be the place where to find fantastic animals as anticarbon or antioxygen which would be a key for many mysteries.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

APPROACHING VALIDATION. “Interestingly, the recent analysis based on the 10-year Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) gamma-ray source catalog has identified 14 point-like candidates emitting γ’s with a spectrum compatible to baryon- antibaryon annihilation.” https://lnkd.in/dWfwWeTG View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION AS FIFTH FORM OF MATTER. “These radical theories are based on the principle that information is physical, the information is registered by physical systems, and all physical systems can register information.” A truly exceptional paper by Melvin M. Vopsona, of the School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Portsmouth, UK. https://lnkd.in/dsBdyta7 View in LinkedIn
