This passageway in old town Girona is hard to photograph on account of the sparse light from the high walls. View in LinkedIn

WIPED CLEAN. “Loss of that shielding, during the next geomagnetic polarity reversal, will potentially have devastating consequences for our highly integrated, technology-based infrastructure.” (Header reference to Blade Runner 2049) https://lnkd.in/g3Z5rDbb View in LinkedIn

FROM CHEMISTRY TO BIOLOGY. “There is no fundamental difference between a living organism and lifeless matter. The complex combination of manifestations and properties so characteristic of life must have arisen in the process of the evolution of matter.” (Oparin, A (1938), note “evolution of matter”). https://lnkd.in/dAtB9vYM View in LinkedIn

INTERPRETATION. “H.A. Lorentz preferred the view that there is indeed a state of "real" rest, defined by the aether (now by the cosmic microwave background radiation) though it could not (then) be identified experimentally. In Bell's words: "the facts of physics do not oblige us to accept one philosophy rather than the other".” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

FINAL HURRAH. “It is now necessary to defend the previous assumption that only the present and antipresent can accommodate interactions. An absolute rest frame can be provided by the cosmic background radiation in present theory, using the doppler effect to establish our motion relative to it.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

LEVEL FIELD. “According to J.S. Bell, Einstein's theory assumes that the laws of physics will look the same to all observers in uniform motion, permitting a very concise and elegant form of the theory.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

OCCHAM’S RAZOR. “Therefore we can still conjure up a universe out of nothing, at no cost, no matter what the energy of our universe turns out to be.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

LOCKED PRESENT. “Quantum interactions are instantaneous, they can only occur in the present, where the volume of the light cones in Minkowski spacetime is zero.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

FUTURO OSCURO. “Somehow the present must allow the future to be consistent with relativity, but we cannot measure anything in the future.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
