Evolution & Genetics
Evolution & Genetics Sapolsky: Sexual selection and reproductive fitness Kinship and degree of relatedness Reciprocal altruism. Must be smart enough to remember each other and their interactions. Must be long lived. Cooperation, cheating, detecting cheating. Caveat: bacteria still do tit for tat and reciprocal interaction. Game theory. Prisoner’s dilemma Optimizing genetics for the given environment. […]

Entropy
Entropy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385400/ Connection between the universal demonstration of entropy and our micro example. Our role as an entropy accelerator rather than a resistor. Complexity theory, feedback loops, Jeremy England theory, mitochondrial synergy. Once we have an averaged energy systems model to detect dysfunction/metabolic leakage, we should be able to use computational neuroscience to replicate and […]

The Big Bang
The Big Bang Deep History Notes Big bang (13.7bya)->First galaxies (10bya)->Solar system (4.6bya)->Molten earth (4.5bya)->Earth cools (4.2bya)->Life (~3.8bya) Water provided a medium for chemical compounds to dissolve and be reconfigured as other compounds. Water + heat + carbon. The compounds carbon create are highly stable and don’t readily come apart in water unless the temperature […]
