A preferred direction to the universe?

The universe may have a preferred direction. A new study has found a spatial variation in the Fine Structure Constant (a pure number approximately equal to 1/137) with a 3.9 sigma level of confidence, that means there is a 0.8% chance it's just a statistical fluke. It's not good enough to claim a d

COVID-19 has killed more Americans than the Vietnam War

It took the Vietnam War 12 years to kill 47,424 Americans in combat, 58,209 if you include non combat deaths. As of today April 28 at 19:52 GMT COVID-19 has killed 58,269 Americans and it did it in less than 2 months. The US only has 4% of the world's population but, even though it is a rich techno

I understand the need for non-belief, as well as feeling belief, and not surprisingly my amygdala has a lot to say about it-   https://www.neuroscientificallychallenged.com/blog/know-your-brain-amygdala I downloaded a book out of my amgydala's need for something scientific, and selected Brian Gr

Re: The Observer & The Existence of Reality

Thanks Bruno. Plotinus and Plato could easily have  been absolutely accurate, and maybe we may or but in my way of thinking, maybe not for quite a while. Having said this, if you go for my latching on to a ridiculous conjecture (driven surely by emotionalism!), I guess that given enormous time,

Re: A preferred direction to the universe?

Well, having read the article this is a result I hope disappears in the light of further work. This would almost mean the universe has no rhyme or reason at all. Then again, on the other hand … , strange things can turn up. It makes little sense that the fine structure constant α = e^2/(4πεħc)
