TANGLED BANK. “In The Origin of Species, Darwin memorably envisioned a “tangled bank” in which organisms were “dependent upon each other in so complex a manner” as an outcome of natural selection. To this point, we have generally ignored ecological interactions beyond 'scramble' competition for limiting resources.” https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg3564 View in LinkedIn

ANTI TIME. “They will never coexist in the three necessary points in space, antitime and time. Unless only the present and antipresent are available for interactions, this explanation is unavailable. If gravity does not require similarly behaving exchange particles, this situation will not prevent gravitational interactions between the two universes.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CAVEAT. “None of these three interactions are hypothesized to work between the present and antipresent. The reason, speculatively, is that at any moment the exchange particles from the different universes will always be separate from each other because they move further away in opposite directions in time.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CONSEQUENCES. “The strong and weak interactions propagate via various exchange particles whose antiparticles behave oppositely when time-reversed. The electromagnetic interaction's photon is its own antiparticle so it should also propagate similarly under time reversal, that is outward in time from the Big Bang.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

ASSUMPTIONS. “Let us further assume that the moment of the present or antipresent moves outward from the origin, forward or backward in time respectively, and only interactions occurring in the present or antipresent are possible (these assumptions will be defended below).” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

THE MEASUREMENT PROBLEM. “Another big question is how or if this second universe could be detected. A possible candidate would be gravitational effects. Since gravity is a property of the structure of spacetime, perhaps gravitational forces would apply between masses in the present, +t and the antipresent, -t.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

ENTANGLED HOMOGENEITY. “They communicate the states of their entangled partners to other entangled pairs distributed as above. So all parts of both universe have been in interaction with all other parts, so both universes are identical in fundamental structure and homogeneous internally. The interaction was not limited by the speed of light.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

OUR GREAT DEBT. “Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes to have evolved oxygenic photosynthesis, transforming the biology and chemistry of our planet. Throughout their evolutionary history, cyanobacteria have played a key role in the global carbon cycle.” https://lnkd.in/d938TQDP View in LinkedIn
