ANALOGY. “Hologenomic evolution is most easily understood by equating a gene in the nuclear genome to a microbe in the microbiome...

SO ENDS this first of two weekends on the startling consequences of promiscuous horizontal gene transfer in microorganisms, creating the planet’s largest gene pool. These tiny creatures, so long overlooked, are the Atlases that drive immense biogeochemical cycles of matter. Professor Doolittle ingeniously suggests that their tiny metabolisms cog with these great cycles of matter as functional units of natural selection, rather than their rather meaningless species designations. https://lnkd.in/dk3R9p6y View in LinkedIn

NOW THE FUN STARTS. “We can therefore predict that twice as many black holes will be found as would be expected under any non-STH theory. What happens when an antimatter black hole collides with a "normal" one, if anything?” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn
