THE HIDDEN LANDSCAPE. “I travelled to Haverfordwest to get to the past. From Paddington Station a Great Western locomotive took me on a journey westwards from London further and further back into geological time, from the age of mammals to the age of trilobites...Under the River Severn and into Wales, I was back before the time of the dinosaurs, to a time when Wales steamed and sweated with the humid heat of moss-laden and boggy forests in coal-swamps, where dragonflies the size of hawks flitted in the mist; and then on back still further in time, so far back that life had not yet slithered or crawled upon the land from its aqueous nursery.” (Richard A. Fortey, 1993). https://lnkd.in/gmRTQ2gq View in LinkedIn

ANTIPARTICLE REALITY. “Causality proceeds forward in time as far as the observer can see. If we can believe that each collapse of the wave function eliminates or drastically reduces the future contribution of superpositions of states of the particle which are inconsistent with the events at, say, T2 having occurred, how is this different for the antiparticle?” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

DETAILS OF CONJECTURE. “Consider the direction of causality in this example. At T2 when the physicist measures the particles they exist in one state of position and momentum each. Via the U-process they arrive at T3 in positions and momenta consistent with physical law and their states at T2 and so on with each measurement until Tn after which they can no longer be detected.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

PARITY. “Note that the Feynman diagram for the above process is the same as for the scattering of an incident electron by a photon which has previously produced a positron and electron pair, the positron going on to annihilate the incident electron, the remaining electron from the pair proceeding onward in time.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

MIRROR EXPLANTATION. “At times very near the origin the following mechanism is suggested. In case (A) matter leaking via quantum uncertainty from the (-) side of the origin to the (+) side moves forward in time away from the origin and after many annihilations makes a contribution to the preponderance of matter on the (+) side.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

MIRROR WORLDS. “The probability of a particle or antiparticle created on one side of the origin being found on the other would rapidly decrease as space-time expands, since the required time displacement from the origin would increase while the extent of quantum uncertainty in time would not.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

GIRONA CATHEDRAL. “The cathedral's interior includes the widest Gothic nave in the world, with a width of 23 metres (75 ft), and the second-widest of any church after that of St. Peter's Basilica (for comparison, the width of the nave of Reims Cathedral is 14.65 m, Saint-Étienne de Sens, 15.25 m and 12 m, in Notre Dame de Paris).” https://lnkd.in/gvmpNwbx View in LinkedIn

WHEN [MATTER] = [ANTIMATTER]. “At such times, close to the Planck time after or before zero, there should be an equal probability of finding any particle or antiparticle on either side of the Big Bang in time.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM INFORMATION. “With his aphorism ‘it from bit’, Wheeler argued that anything physical, any it, ultimately derives its very existence entirely from discrete detector-elicited information-theoretic answers to yes or no quantum binary choices: bits. In this spirit, many theorists now give ontological primacy to information.” (Julian Barbour). https://lnkd.in/gVen_Bc8 View in LinkedIn
