X Particle Explains Dark Matter and Antimatter at the Same Time

Nice and neat idea.”After all the particles and anti-particles that could find each other collided and eliminated each other, the universe was left with some extra neutrons and a corresponding number of extra anti-dark matter particles.”With Spin Foams and Hologram inscribed event horizons, this is likely more a handy mnemonic, something like “The Left Hand Rule for Motors”, than an illumination of the Universe’s fundamental truths.  http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/12/x-particle/

Microtubules the “tape archive” of the brain?


Evidence for an unexpected new level of organization in the brain is slowly building. In addition to the possibility that quantum effects may be relevant in cognition, there is also evidence that long term memory is “archived” onto microtubules. Taken together these mechanisms probably increase the complexity required to accurately simulate neuron by a factor of a Million – postponing post-humanity, and delaying the Singularity by thirty years.

Is this life real or a simulation? – Matthew R Francis – Aeon

…if we accept the eventual complexity of computer hardware, it’s quite probable we’re already part of an ‘ancestor simulation’, a virtual recreation of humanity’s past.
