INEQUALITIES. “In other words, non-baryonic DM is required for perturbations to grow sufficiently from the initial amplitude, as measured from the CMB anisotropies.”(DM = dark matter; CMB = cosmic microwave background). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

MONSTER CRATER. “The Bouguer gravity anomaly shows a large well-defined semi-circular concentric anomaly pattern with amplitudes up to 30 mGals with a 40 km diameter central high and two lows at about 70 km and 120 km diameters (Figure 2). Semi- circular concentric anomalies were inferred at 52.5±5km,77.1±6.3 km, 99.6±6 km and 139 ± 11 km radial distance, which define a multi-ring structure with central peak ring limited by ring 1.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

VISIBLE MATTER. “Baryons, however, are tightly coupled to photons until decoupling, at tdec ≈ 0.4 Myr and therefore perturbations in baryons can only grow after decoupling. Consequently in a universe without non-baryonic DM the initial density perturbations have to be larger, and produce larger temperature fluctuations in the CMB, ∆T/T ∼ 10(-4), for observed structures to form.” (DM = dark matter; CMB = cosmic microwave background). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes tomorrow on the theme of the physiological reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Such an existential threat from a meteor strike on our planet is very real, as one glance at the pockmarked surface of the moon will confirm. The universe is violent and unpredictable, on scales beyond our ability to change, so hurry about your business without a care. View in LinkedIn

PRESENT BY ABSENCE. “The detailed scale dependence of the temperature anisotropies in the CMB allow the total, matter and baryon density parameters to be measured precisely. However the measured typical amplitude of the fluctuations, ∆T/T ≈ 10(-5), alone provides evidence for non-baryonic DM.” (DM = dark matter; CMB = cosmic microwave background). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT GRAVITY. “We see flocks of birds and schools of fish undertake coherent motion in groups, but they are really made up of individual animals. We say that the group behavior is emergent. It may be that something that arises out of the pixelation of spacetime has just been given the name gravity because we don’t yet understand what the guts of spacetime are.” https://lnkd.in/eAGRJ6Qh View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT WORLD. “The world is made of qubits ... What we perceive to some degree of approximation as a world of single-valued variables is actually part of a larger reality in which the full answer to a yes-no question is not just yes or no, nor even both yes and no in parallel, but a quantum-observable – something that can be represented as a large Hermitian matrix”. (Professor David Deutsch, Oxford University, page 15). https://lnkd.in/eAxeE3iE View in LinkedIn

SEARCH FOR STRUCTURE. “The density distribution of the SHM is formally infinite and hence the velocity distribution extends to infinity too. In reality the Milky Way halo is finite, and particles with speeds greater than the escape speed…will not be gravitationally bound to the MW.” (SHM = The standard halo model; MW = Milky Way). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn
