ORIGINS. “Smaller HBBs could form compact stars or antistars. They were created in the very early universe after the QCD phase transition.” (HBB = high baryonic number; QCD = Quark matter or QCD matter (quantum chromodynamic). https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

WIDE RANGE. “Such PBHs could have masses in a wide range from a fraction of solar mass to thousands solar masses. Of course, there is no noticeable difference between a PBH and an anti-PBH.” (PBH = primordial black holes) https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

GAIA. “Almost 60 years ago, I suggested our planet self-regulated like a living organism. I called this the Gaia theory, and was later joined by biologist Lynn Margulis, who also espoused this idea. Both of us were roundly criticised by scientists in academia.” (James Lovelock). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/02/beware-gaia-theory-climate-crisis-earth?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other View in LinkedIn

SECOND INTERPRETATION. “In the Feynman-Stueckelberg Interpretation, antimatter is identical to matter but moves backward in time. https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

GEOMETRY IS KEY. “Just as morphology, geometry and specific impedance of structures are key influences on the electric field at the scale of trees and plants (Fig. 2), this remains true at the smaller scale of a flower’s anther, stigma, and pollen grain.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

POLLEN FUNCTION. “During the bee’s final approach to the flower, electrostatic forces between these two bodies grow rapidly larger (Fig. 5). This has been suggested to have important consequences for pollen transfer from anther to bee and back from bee to stigma.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

LANDING GUIDES. “At a distance of 2–3 cm shown in Fig. 4, the region between the bee and the flower has an electric field of over 5 kV/m. This is comparable in magnitude to the electric field at the ground under a high-voltage power line. This field strength is much higher than that required to elicit mechanical and neural responses from bumble bee hairs.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

LOCAL FIELDS. “The bee carries a positive charge that it acquires while flying. The flower gains a negative charge through electrostatic induction. The forces that exist between charges fall off with the square of their distance, so that the forces between bee and flower increase quickly as the bee approaches.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn
