DARK MATTER HALOS. “The spherical collapse model for the formation of individual DM halos.” (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

ONE OF THREE. “Chicxulub is one of only three multi-ring craters documented in the terrestrial record and impact has been related to the global environmental/ climatic effects and mass extinction that mark the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

WIMP HALOS. “The first WIMP halos to form are roughly Earth mass microhalos.” (WIMP = weakly interacting massive particle). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

HISTORICAL FAVORITE CRATER. “The Chicxulub impact crater is part of a select group of unique geological sites, being a natural laboratory to investigate crater formation processes and global effects of large-scale impacts.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

WIMP: weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP), heavy, electromagnetically neutral subatomic particle that is hypothesized to make up most dark matter and therefore some 22 percent of the universe.” https://lnkd.in/eEwV_wZp View in LinkedIn

COSMIC STRUCTURES. “Perturbations on scales smaller than galaxy clusters are erased, and structure formation is ‘top down’: large objects form first.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

DARK MATTER. “The nature of DM affects the evolution of the density perturbations. Cold dark matter (CDM) decouples when non-relativistic, and has very small velocity dispersion today. Hot dark matter (HDM) decouples when relativistic and has non-zero velocity dispersion today.” Thus dark matter is closely interconnected to gravity. https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

GRAVITY-CENTRIC. “Structures (galaxies, galaxy clusters) form via gravitational instability: small initial over-densities grow due to gravity. How the perturbations grow, and hence how galaxies cluster, depends on the contents of the Universe.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

This Hubble picture could easily be an exotic imaginary mountain landscape. https://lnkd.in/eSwH5GEm View in LinkedIn

PEAK EXPERIENCES. “Awe is a lightning bolt that marks in memory those moments when the doors of perception are cleansed and we see with startling clarity what is truly important in life. Moments of awe may be the most important, transformative experiences of life.” (Page 35) https://lnkd.in/eTQYza-q View in LinkedIn
