DETECTING ANTISTARS. “Many have been detected, but are much too heavy, so should be visible. If this hypothesis is correct, there are many antistars to be so detected. Binaries should also be very common, as they are in our universe, and we should expect binary MACHOS to be detected by gravitational lensing.” https://lnkd.in/d4BvAHFn View in LinkedIn

NEW TOOLS. “Recent work on attempting to detect massive compact halo objects (MACHOS) by gravitational lensing has been very successful. The assumption was that MACHOS would be very large stray planets or very small stars, both being too small to initiate significant nuclear fusion and hence visible radiation.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS. “In the event that somehow a survey showed that dark matter throughout the visible universe were moving on average in some net direction, it would imply under this hypothesis that the two universes were rotating relative to each other's background radiation rest frame.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

HOLOBIONTS. “Three claims might be taken as implicit in this language: (1) that many of the microbial and macrobial taxa associated in such multi-species assemblages are metabolically (or developmentally or structurally) interdependent, (2) that such interdependence has co-evolved as a consequence of their association, and (3) that holobionts can be considered units of selection.” https://lnkd.in/dk3R9p6y View in LinkedIn

Probably a good thing that we do not know what they are really thinking! View in LinkedIn

HYBRID COMMUNITIES. “Animals and plants together with all the microbes in and on them are now often called ‘‘holobionts’’, and the ensembles of their genomes ‘‘hologenomes’’.” https://lnkd.in/dk3R9p6y View in LinkedIn

ROOT OF ALL THINGS. “All life on Earth is dependent on biologically mediated electron transfer (i.e., redox) reactions that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium.” https://lnkd.in/dTh3gub5 View in LinkedIn

RADICAL PROPOSITION. “We propose casting metabolic and developmental interaction patterns, rather than the taxa responsible for them, as units of selection.” https://lnkd.in/dk3R9p6y View in LinkedIn

DARK MATTER LENSE. “Even if there are other contributors to the missing mass problem, this mechanism should cause galaxies, or parts of galaxies, to be associated with widely varying ratios of dark matter. If some of these ratios of missing mass to mass are very low it would suggest that the antiuniverse could be the major explanation for the missing mass, along with so far undiscovered ordinary matter.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

THE REFRAIN. “It’s the song, not the singer: an exploration of holobiosis and evolutionary theory.” (2016). https://lnkd.in/dk3R9p6y View in LinkedIn
