DARWINIZING GAIA. “Attempts to reconcile the Gaia hypothesis with Darwinian theory falter when organisms, species or even multi-species communities are seen as the relevant “units of selection”. If, instead, the biogeochemical cycles and other interaction networks that are implemented by such multi-species communities are taken as units of selection, a coherent theory of maintenance (if not also origins) can be articulated.” (Professor W. Ford Doolittle). https://lnkd.in/dVhTMKFm View in LinkedIn

CLEAR SEPARATION. “The process is self-limiting, and no primordial matter survives on the (-) side or primordial antimatter on the (+) side.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

THE OTHER RESIDUAL. “The same quantities of antimatter derive from the same mechanism on the (-) side. All the antimatter or matter created far from the origin on either side was annihilated. Therefore one would expect only a very small ratio of baryons to gauge bosons on the (-) side or the (+) side respectively.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

RESIDUAL MATTER. “Thus some of the matter on our side was contributed by leakage from the other side of the Big Bang, and the rest as the leftover partners of the antimatter which leaked or moved in time to or toward the other side respectively.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

DOMINANT TYPES. “In cases (i) and (ii) leftover matter and antimatter respectively would each move toward the origin and annihilation or destruction. In cases (iii) and (iv) the remaining opposite particles in both cases move away from the origin, and thus contribute to the preponderance of antimatter on the (-) side and matter on the (+) side respectively.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

MATTER-ANTIMATTER UNIVERSES. “Now consider the fate of the opposite partner particles left behind in all these cases. In case (A) antimatter is left on the (-) side; in case (B) matter is left on the (+) side.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

THE FULCRUM. “Annihilation would destroy the antimatter in case (iv) similarly created very close to the origin on the (+) side moving backward in time toward the origin. Close approach to the origin will in any case destroy all particles as the temperature rises.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

KNOWN UNKNOWNS. “We do not know what time is. Matter is not alien to space; material elementary particles (non-zero rest energy) are longitudinal wavepackets of contracted, or dilated, space, which are the bivalent elementary electric charges. Space must be an elastic fluid.” (Shlomo Barak). https://lnkd.in/dsc-CDEc View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this second and last weekend on the subject of mutations in evolution. It is clear that this topic is central to cancer development and understanding how populations of cells evolve in culture has led to the beginning of new approaches to thinking about cancer treatment. https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3564 View in LinkedIn
