QUANTUM SUPERPOSITION. “An international team of researchers has caused molecule made up of up to 2,000 atoms to occupy two places at the same time.” https://lnkd.in/d2WbhJz View in LinkedIn
THE PREMISE. “The ascription of entropy to a black hole thus permits a generalization of the traditional Second Law, as Bekenstein asserts: “The common entropy in the black-hole exterior plus the black-hole entropy never decreases.” https://lnkd.in/dHGT8xw View in LinkedIn
METABOLIC PATHWAYS. “Centrally located within this network are the sugar phosphate reactions of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. Together with the overlapping reactions of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway and of the Calvin cycle, they provide the precursor metabolites required for the synthesis of RNA, DNA, lipids, energy and redox coenzymes and amino acids—key molecules required for life.” https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.1002/msb.20145351 View in LinkedIn
FINDING. “In this Letter, we have shown that the BBHs observed by LIGO/Virgo strongly disfavour the existence of scalar ultralight bosons with masses in the range 1.3 × 10(−13) eV ≤ μs ≤ 2.7 × 10(−13) eV. The statistical evidence is entirely contributed by the two highly spinning primaries in the systems GW190412 and GW190517.” (BBH = binary black holes). https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn

THE BOTTLENECK. “Another important factor to assess if black holes will be spun down by boson clouds is the time interval between the formation of the black hole and the merger: if a black hole merges too quickly after being born it might not have the time to undergo superradiance, even if bosons of the appropriate mass exist.” https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn
SUBLINEAR SCALING. “It means a city with a large population needs only ~80% as many roads, power lines, and gas stations per person as a city half its size. The second, “superlinear scaling,” applies to outputs of socioeconomic activity. It means a large city produces ~120% more wealth, patents, crime, pollution, and disease per person than a city half its size.” https://www.santafe.edu/news-center/news/researchers-reveal-cloud-geometry-behind-city-scaling View in LinkedIn
ULTRALIGHT BOSONS. “The evidence against the existence of bosons with this mass arises mainly from two highly spinning black holes found in the new data set, namely GW190412 and GW190517.” https://lnkd.in/gnQbwGA View in LinkedIn
