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 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 …
