that article (which imho is totally devoid of any substance) still reminded me about other thought experiment by Feynman: What if there's just one electron in the universe, traveling back and force in time, becoming positron when changing time direction, consuming energy when turning forward and releasing when turning back? He was quick to reject this idea, because in this case there would be exactly the same amount of electrons and positrons in the universe, and it doesn't seem to be the case, but I just love the elegance of the conjecture.
- nefitty 6y agoThere’s something fishy about Nautilus. One of their main contributors is the John Templeton Foundation: “The work supported by the John Templeton Foundation crosses disciplinary, religious, and geographical boundaries. Our grantees produce field-leading scholarship across the sciences, theology, and philosophy. From probing gravitational waves to updating the modern evolutionary synthesis, they have contributed to major discoveries in the basic sciences. Other grantees have opened critical new topics to scientific investigation, including prayer, gratitude, immortality, and imagination.” An initial reaction from someone online, https://ksj.mit.edu/archive/does-science-magazine-nautilus-have-agen/ https://ksj.mit.edu/archive/does-science-magazine-nautilus-h... In 2013, Amos Zeeberg, the digital editor of Nautilus said this in an interview: “The Templeton Foundation provided all of the money for our launch and for the initial operation of the magazine. We hope they’ll fund us further, and we also are getting revenue from advertising and potentially other foundations.”
