The Cambrian Period was a biological Big Bang.

 The Cambrian Period was a biological Big Bang.

Trilobites are extinct marine animals with a curious fossil record. Their diversity numbers are off the hook. Their evolution is something of a mystery. During the Cambrian Period, trilobites suddenly went from being soft-bodied animals to developing hard shells. And...
Quantum mechanics needs to be compatible with general relativity.

Quantum mechanics needs to be compatible with general relativity.

QUANTUM PROBABILITIES ARE DECIDED AT THE FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL OF PHYSICS. Quantum mechanics is incompatible with general relativity because, in quantum field theory, forces act locally through the exchange of well-defined quanta. In quantum mechanics, fields are...

The universe is not reductionist; it is a constructor.

The universe is not reductionist; it is a constructor. The goal of scientific reductionists. Science deals in reductionism.  It deals with a logical deduction process. The goal of which is to reduce to a small number of options and rules. Biology can be reduced to...

The trinitarian interactions of the elementary particles.

A stroll through the particle zoo. The trinity interactions of the elementary particles: The three generations of particles differ by their flavor, quantum number, and mass. Their electric and strong interactions are identical. Particles combine their kinetic energy...
Elementary particles are merely excited states of some field.

Elementary particles are merely excited states of some field.

Most of an atom’s mass is in the nucleus, a small, dense area at the center of every bit composed of nucleons. Nucleons include protons and neutrons. All the positive charge of an atom is contained in the nucleus and originates from the protons. All matter is...
