THE CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. “Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873) and John Stevens Henslow (1796–1861). Both men were aware that the study of the sciences in their University was largely moribund. Although there were professors of both botany and geology at Cambridge, and post-Newtonian mathematics was flourishing, the sciences...were a “peripheral activity”. The purpose of the University was primarily as a training ground for clerics.” https://lnkd.in/gkn3BKFd View in LinkedIn

SYNTHESIS OF CONJECTURES. “Let us combine the Feynman-Stueckelberg interpretation with the STH above, at times +t and -t very close to zero, when equal amounts of matter and antimatter are being created.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CONSENSUS. “Physicists insist that the Schrodinger equation is symmetric in time and has no preference for a particular now. Let us take this completely seriously.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

GO FOR THE RIDE. “If we are faced with two alternative hypotheses, both consistent with experiment, one with great explanatory power and leading to a completely symmetric spacetime, the other asymmetric and full of philosophical problems, perhaps we can suspend our disbelief still further and see what the STH predicts.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER BACKWARDS IN TIME. “From now on in this essay all antiparticles are assumed for the sake of the argument to move backward in time as a matter of physical reality.” https://lnkd.in/d4BvAHFn View in LinkedIn

THE LAST STANDING. “Surely only residual Classical prejudices stand in the way of acceptance of the Feynman-Stueckelberg interpretation if this argument is correct.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

BEDROCK ISSUES. “These views of the collapse of the wave function and direction of causality must be defended below, since they are necessary for the logical foundation of the STH model.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CAUSALITY DIRECTION. “In either case, this is a reasonable definition of "causality", whose direction is, perhaps, that of the overwhelming majority of available superpositions, outward from the origin.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

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
