THE BEDROCK. “R. P. Feynman developed earlier work by Stueckelberg to produce the Feynman-Stueckelberg Interpretation of antimatter.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. “Can the reader imagine a conceptually simpler, or indeed any other, hypothesis which results in Weyl's symmetry in the case of time as we know it? If not, perhaps we should suspend our natural disbelief a little longer.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
SATISFIES DEFINITION. “All the laws would operate in the same way, no observer could tell which universe they were in, and entropy would increase as time proceeds. Weyl's criterion is satisfied.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
CANCER AS SPECIES. “Heritable genomic variation and natural selection have long been acknowledged as striking parallels between evolution and cancer. The logical conclusion, that cancer really is a form of speciation, has seldom been expounded directly.” https://lnkd.in/dgvfyNj9 View in LinkedIn
MIRROR OPPOSITES. “The histories would be expected to diverge significantly due to the effect of randomness and chaotic interactions, for example, but existence would appear the same in the (+) and (-) universes, not like a reversed cinema film of each other.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
THE CONJECTURE. “Let us call this the Symmetrical Time Hypothesis (STH). Symmetry suggests that after reversing time direction (T), all properties of each universe are identical, including rate of expansion of space-time. Charge (C) and parity (P) will appear reversed from the other universe's standpoint, so the two universes will be CPT invariant.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
THE STRESS LEVER. “Stressful environments can sometimes help to separate the more beneficial mutations from the less beneficial mutations.” https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3564 View in LinkedIn
BACTERIAL EXAMPLE. “For example, whole-genome sequencing of experimentally evolved Myxococcus xanthus strains found that 14 mutations were substituted after 1,000 generations in a liquid medium, while social motility and the capability to form fruiting bodies were lost, but only one mutation was involved in the subsequent restoration of those functions.” https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3564 View in LinkedIn
MANY PATHWAYS. “Indeed, divergent paths have been described in most evolution experiments with microorganisms, and these dynamics have been reconstructed in certain cases.” https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3564 View in LinkedIn
