“PLATO concludes that the body is composed of the same elements as the universe, and that, finally, the universe is ruled by mind.” (Page 104). https://lnkd.in/eq8pQ57b View in LinkedIn
SULFUR DIOXIDE ANOMALY. “One biologically significant property of stratospheric SO2 is that it strongly absorbs solar UV light in the UVB wavelength range of 290 to 320 nm.” https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
SULFATE STORY. “One estimate is that 326–527 gigatonnes of SO2 were distributed globally in the stratosphere. Another, in broad agreement, put the quantity of stratospheric SO2 in the range of 200–400 gigatonnes.” https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
BLOCKING THE SUN. “A result of the asteroid impact would have been the ejection into the stratosphere of particulate carbon soot, CO2 and sulfate aerosols. This would have had a marked cooling effect on the climate from the absorption of much solar radiation.” https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
TYPE OF DUST. “The Chicxulub site contains vast amounts of limestone (CaCO3), anhydrite (CaSO4) and gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) as well as hydrocarbons.” https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
SO ENDS this Fragment. Dr Fraser, in private correspondence with me revealed the following. “I suspect that few palaeontologists would browse a nutrition journal and those that I have spoken to are mystified by the idea of biological mechanisms for species extinction.” In other words, this very credible and testable hypothesis has been overlooked. https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
LAG. “DM self-interactions transfer momentum between the cluster halos, so they lag behind the collisionless galaxies, leading to an offset between the DM and galaxies. Merging clusters also lead to constraints from the cluster surviving the merger.” (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn
THIN SHELLS AND VITAMIN D. “By comparison with egg biology of modern birds, the thinning of the shells was attributed to abnormal hormonal control of the calcification process, as a result of environmental stress. Strangely, as a possible explanation, there was no mention of cholecalciferol deficiency which is a well-established cause of thin shells in eggs of the domestic hen.” https://lnkd.in/e5hTuW74 View in LinkedIn
STRUCTURE SUPPRESSION. “Self-interacting DM (SIDM) is DM particles which scatter elastically with each other; couplings with other particles in the early universe can suppress the power spectrum (and hence structure formation) on small scales.“ (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn
PRESENT BY DISTURBANCE. “A DM sub-halo passing by a stellar stream gives the stars in the stream a kick and perturbs their orbits, leading to a gap in the stream which is observable for sub-halo masses.” (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn
