CAUTION. “Unlike ordinary matter, the quanta of the dark sector are shown to obey infinite statistics.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn

DARK MATTER CANDIDATES. “While the majority of DM candidates are new fundamental particles, DM doesn’t have to be a particle. Non-particles candidates, such as Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), can also be constrained by various astrophysical and cosmological processes.” (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

DEFINITION. “That means every given thing must have a consistent definition (a definition which doesn't contradict itself), and that thing must be defined in contrast to something else (otherwise it wouldn't be a given thing, it would be the entire universe).” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

RESTATED. “This might sound obvious but we realize something profound if we rephrase it slightly. Being identical to itself means having the same properties, and being different from something else means having different properties, and the set of properties which apply to a given thing are determined by the definition of the thing.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

BOOLEAN LOGIC. “You're asking if every thing in the universe connects. George Boole (creator of Boolean Logic) stated that any given thing must be identical to itself (if not it would be a different thing), and also it must be different from another thing (if not it would be the self-same thing).” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

THE STARTING POINT. “Q. Does everything in the universe connect? A. First let's answer that question logically, and then see if empirical science confirms the logical conclusion.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE this weekend is from an unusual source but caught my attention. The question posed was “Does everything in the universe connect?”. Many people think this is true but finding serious-minded articles on the topic has proved challenging. This one response by somebody claiming to be a (unpublished) quantum physicist but with very little footprint on the web seemed to me to be quite profound: is it brilliance or complex stupidity? https://lnkd.in/eGcaKNch View in LinkedIn

KANT’S OUTER BRAIN. “The brain does not live inside the head, even though that is its formal habitat. It reaches out to the body, and with the body it reaches out to the world. The brain is hand and the hand is brain.” (Neurologist Frank Wilson). https://lnkd.in/eeu8k7FF View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM ENTROPY. ‘Entropy S can be written in terms of a microscopic probabilistic quantity W as S=klogW, where k is the Boltzmann constant. Deeply ingrained in probabilities, S finds its true home in quantum mechanics.” https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/21/11/1035/htm View in LinkedIn
