igorchudov |Pfizer is “pausing advertising on Twitter”
because it is “concerned that Mr. Musk could scale back content
moderation, which they worry would lead to an increase in objectionable
content on the platform.”
Pfizer
was one of the most significant sources of revenue for Twitter. I
constantly saw Pfizer ads and promoted posts, such as this creepy one:
(If you are not sure why “the human brain” becomes so sweaty once pink “science” grabs it firmly from behind, neither am I)
What
is interesting is that this advertising pause involves not only Pfizer
but other large multinationals with no specific issues related to
Twitter censorship, such as General Mills, a producer of popular but
unhealthy breakfast cereals.
Who is behind this? Meet a new “action coalition” called “Accountable Tech”
that is directing efforts to withhold advertising money from
misbehaving technology companies. You may be very surprised, or not, but
“Accountable Tech” is packed with Democratic operatives:
Accountable Tech is spearheading this letter to Twitter advertisers:
Accountable Tech joined more than 25 groups to deliver the below message in a letter to Twitter’s top advertisers to demand nonnegotiable requirements for their ad business in the midst of Elon Musk’s acquisition:
To whom it may concern:
Elon
Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify our information
ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety, especially among
those already most vulnerable and marginalized.
The undersigned organizations believe that Twitter should continue to uphold the practices that serve as guideposts for other Big Tech platforms. We
call on you – Twitter’s top advertisers – to commit to these standards
as non-negotiable requirements for advertising on the platform:
Keep
accounts including those of public figures and politicians that were
removed for egregious violations of Twitter Rules – such as harassment,
violence, and hateful conduct – off the platform
All
these coalitions attempt to influence large advertisers into doing
their bidding by withholding ad money from tech companies that
“Accountable Tech” wants to punish.
I understand why Pfizer, a
company selling the fraudulent “Covid vaccine” and relying on censorship
for continued sales, has a vested interest in Twitter continuing to
censor vaccine skeptics. However, other companies mentioned above do not
have such reasons.
theintercept | Under President Joe Biden, the shifting focus on disinformation has continued. In January 2021, CISA replaced
the Countering Foreign Influence Task force with the “Misinformation,
Disinformation and Malinformation” team, which was created “to promote
more flexibility to focus on general MDM.” By now, the scope of the
effort had expanded beyond disinformation produced by foreign
governments to include domestic versions. The MDM team, according to one
CISA official quoted in the IG report, “counters all types of
disinformation, to be responsive to current events.”
Jen Easterly, Biden’s appointed director of CISA, swiftly made it
clear that she would continue to shift resources in the agency to combat
the spread of dangerous forms of information on social media. “One
could argue we’re in the business of critical infrastructure, and the
most critical infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure, so
building that resilience to misinformation and disinformation, I think,
is incredibly important,” said Easterly, speaking at a conference in
November 2021.
Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S.
government has used its power to try to shape online discourse.
According to meeting minutes
and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney
General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate,
discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government
intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining
takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with
gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft
executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a
DHS director, in February.
In a March meeting,
Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive
information on social media could undermine support for the U.S.
government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by
senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we
need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”
“We do not coordinate with other entities when making content
moderation decisions, and we independently evaluate content in line with
the Twitter Rules,” a spokesperson for Twitter wrote in a statement to
The Intercept.
There is also a formalized process for government officials to
directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be
throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal
that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time
of writing, the “content request system” at
facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent
company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI
declined to comment.
DHS’s
mission to fight disinformation, stemming from concerns around Russian
influence in the 2016 presidential election, began taking shape during
the 2020 election and over efforts to shape discussions around vaccine
policy during the coronavirus pandemic. Documents collected by The
Intercept from a variety of sources, including current officials and
publicly available reports, reveal the evolution of more active measures
by DHS.
According to a draft copy of DHS’s Quadrennial Homeland Security
Review, DHS’s capstone report outlining the department’s strategy and
priorities in the coming years, the department plans to target
“inaccurate information” on a wide range of topics, including “the
origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines,
racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S.
support to Ukraine.”
“The challenge is particularly acute in marginalized communities,”
the report states, “which are often the targets of false or misleading
information, such as false information on voting procedures targeting
people of color.”
The inclusion of the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is
particularly noteworthy, given that House Republicans, should they take
the majority in the midterms, have vowed to investigate. “This makes
Benghazi look like a much smaller issue,” said Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., a member of the Armed Services Committee, adding that finding answers “will be a top priority.”
How disinformation is defined by the government has not been clearly
articulated, and the inherently subjective nature of what constitutes
disinformation provides a broad opening for DHS officials to make
politically motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous
speech.
jonathanturley | We have been discussing
how Democratic leaders like Hillary Clinton called on foreign companies
to pass censorship laws to prevent Elon Musk from restoring free speech
protections on Twitter. The EU has responded aggressively to warn Musk
not to allow greater free speech or face crippling fines and even
potential criminal enforcement. After years of using
censorship-by-surrogates in social media companies, Democratic leaders
seem to have rediscovered good old-fashioned state censorship.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) declared Musk’s pledge to restore
free speech values on social media as threatening Democracy itself. She
has promised that “there are going to be rules” to
block such changes. She is not alone. Former President Obama has
declared “regulation has to be part of the answer” to disinformation.
For her part, Hillary Clinton is looking to Europe to fill the vacuum
and called upon her European counterparts to pass a massive censorship
law to “bolster global democracy before it’s too late.”
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern recently repeated this call for global censorship at the United Nations to the applause of diplomats and media alike.
EU censors have assured Democratic leaders that they will not allow
free speech to break out on Twitter regardless of the wishes of its
owner and customers.
One of the most anti-free speech figures in the West, EU’s Internal
Market Commissioner Thierry Breton has been raising the alarm that
Twitter users might be able to read uncensored material or hear
unauthorized views.
Breton himself threatened
that Twitter must “fly by [the European Union’s] rules” in censoring
views deemed misleading or harmful by EU bureaucrats. Breton has been
moving publicly to warn Musk not to try to reintroduce protections that
go beyond the tolerance of the EU for free speech. Musk is planning to
meet with the EU censors and has conceded that he may not be able resist
such mandatory censorship rules.
Breton has made no secret that he views free speech as a danger
coming from the United States that needs to be walled off from the
Internet. He previously declared that, with the DSA, the EU is now able
to prevent the Internet from again becoming a place for largely
unregulated free speech, which he referred to as the “Wild West” period of the Internet.

that's the only explanation I can get is that that if they if people are here
9:10
from another civilization then they if they've understood the the

higher the higher the finer points of quantum of quantum physics and how to
9:20
couple that from particles into beings that can do what quantum what particles
The best way to understand their approach is by considering something
else ordered yet non-repeating: "quasicrystals." A typical crystal has a
regular, repeating structure, like the hexagons in a honeycomb. A
quasicrystal still has order, but its patterns never repeat. (Penrose
tiling is one example of this.) Even more mind-boggling is that
quasicrystals are crystals from higher dimensions projected, or squished
down, into lower dimensions. Those higher dimensions can even be beyond
physical space's three dimensions: A 2D Penrose tiling, for instance,
is a projected slice of a 5-D lattice.
9:25
can do now when I was at wright-patterson we had the flying saucers it went up I think they covered the distance from
9:32
Columbus to Detroit in something like equivalent of about 20,000 miles an hour
9:39
I don't think anyone in the canoe in the ordinary aerospace business would have
9:46
had any knowledge of what they were even talking about if you mentioned quantum
9:51
physics or or wormholes are the type of things we know now because if you went
9:59
to CERN and talked to the particle physicists they would tell you certainly some of this was possible because they
10:06
see it all the time where they think they see mass they really see they
10:12
really see energy frozen in it in a time quantum and what they're seeing is not
10:18
is this is really a frozen bundle of energy and it moves back and forth
10:25
almost without any restriction
I thought there were enough credible stories that I may not be able to
10:32
explain them but they weren't phenomenon that were people's imagination whatever
10:41
they saw was real but I couldn't explain how it how it was real what made it real but I think what they I think they saw
10:48
what they saw near st. Louis there was a fairly large triangular object seen and
10:54
it covered the distance down to south st. Louis in some in some of its
11:00
sightings it was moving relatively benign Lee but then it it literally jumped about 20 miles in a sec couple of
11:07
seconds and I've received a lot of phone calls from the local newspapers and TV
11:13
stations is how can that be and
I said I don't know how it can be except if you
11:18
explain it through something like a quantum physics explanation of time and
11:24
space relationships it gave you time and space travel but other than that I don't
11:30
there's no way I know that I can put the biggest rocket engine I could think of
11:36
on it it still couldn't get there at that speed and the noise and the sounds
11:42
you would make doing something like that would wake everybody up for 10 miles and
11:47
it made no sound at all it's see it starts out at hover and it literally almost disappears and pops
11:53
over here so it's not like it's not like a cartoon where it goes whoosh it's
12:00
almost like it disappears and comes up over here at least that the descriptions
12:06
that some of the police officers gave to it a lot of combat pilots routinely go
12:13
up to 7 and 8 GS but that's a very specific direction that's from your head
12:19
downward along the axis of your spine if you were to take that what's called
12:24
eyeballs in which is when you accelerate the forces this way you literally would
12:32
have your eyeballs and compressed out of their sockets and you have brain damage so that the G's the do that might be in
12:40
the level of order of so no that's not physically possible for any even even insects to take that level
12:48
of acceleration even over a short period of time you might get in an automobile
12:53
accident you might get a hundred two hundred and fifty G's and that's when the car is completely crushed so that's
13:00
what happened would happen to a human being if that were a conventional force accelerator so it's not a conventional
13:06
force accelerator because if there's people in human beings in them or something being in them that isn't
13:13
crushed then it has to be a different way of doing it the hard part is to find
13:19
a way to physically do that
you know there are people who have been experimenting with zero-point energy or
13:25
try to tap zero-point energy for years every once in a while someone will do it
13:30
accidentally they'll call it cold fusion but I don't think it's cold fusion I just think it's a zero-point energy tap
13:36
except for three people that I know no
13:41
one has been able to control it when it happens it happens for a short period of time
13:47
and it's almost always destructive it's like drilling a hole into the base of Grand Coulee Dam and all of a sudden
13:54
this jet of water comes out that literally has enough pressure to cut you in half without a valve on it you can't
14:02
shut it off does one guy that that that
14:07
a friend of mine actually visited in Ann Arbor Michigan that was I consider a mathematical genius that actually
14:14
figured out a way to control it he was so paranoid he divorced his wife
14:20
left his wife and children and went in hiding because he was terrified that someone
14:26
would would kill him for the knowledge that he had the ability to tap this whenever he chose to and control it we
14:33
don't know worried we haven't seen him in five years I don't worry is you know right now today you've got an energy
14:39
problem with the price of oil what do you think would happen if you introduced
14:45
an ability to attempt zero-point energy represents about 40 to 50 megawatts of
14:53
power per cubic inch of space that's a lot of power
15:00
that's 4600 million watts of power and
15:07
if you could tap it at will then no one
15:12
would have to sell gasoline or oil anymore you would just tap into it it would be it would be like taking and
15:20
going out to the Great Lakes and taking out one drop and using it it would you'd
15:25
hardly miss it and since it permeates the whole universe and it continually
15:31
fluctuates as it as as that as the matter and antimatter interact it's not
15:40
like it's a steady lake it's um you see it's a pool the size of the universe so
15:45
you'd never for what we've used before you never even miss it the only thing this one guy claimed that happened is if
15:52
you bottle it and move it to another location and release it he sounded
16:00
exactly like mr. Spock he said you create a tear in the in the time time
16:07
domain of the of local space and actually caused a problem which he
16:13
claims he did and he will never do it again which is bottle and move it the other part is that you're knock it
16:19
doesn't work on conventional jet engines one has to create an actual zero point
16:25
energy engine to do that this one guy in Ann Arbor Mich Michigan had one running in his basement
16:30
not connected to any power source whatsoever sitting in the middle of a table and it had been running for a year
medium | In the late 1940’s and early 50’s, Karl Pribram,
a neuroscientist, performed defining neuro-behavioural experiments that
established the underlying structure of the executive functions of the
prefrontal cortex and the limbic system.
In essence, the neural architectures of thought and feeling.
Additionally, he discovered that the sensory-specific associationcortex
of the parietal and temporal lobes, where associations are made between
the body’s senses in real-time, “operate to organize the choices we
make among sensory stimuli, and not the sensing of the stimuli themselves.”
But what Pribram is best known for is holonomic brain theory, which describes human cognition by modeling the brain as a holographic storage network, with consciousness being shaped by the quantum effects occurring within and between brain cells.
In 1975, Pribram was inspired by the work of Bohm who had noted that the universe would look like a hologram to us if we did not have the use of lenses.
Building on this insight, Pribram concluded that our view of the world would be a hologram — a diffuse scattering of the interference patterns of electromagnetic waves — if not for the lenses of our eyes.
And
that the neural processes of perception are formed by several stages of
transformation, each stage having its roots in quantum mechanics.
In a famous collaboration with Bohm that followed, Pribram laid the foundation for a quantum theory of consciousness, connecting Bohm’s theory of holomovment with the mathematics of holography and neuroscience.
Pribram hypothesized that memory takes the form of interference patterns similar to those of holograms produced by a laser.
Pribram suggested that cognition involved electrical oscillations in the delicate fibers of the dendritic web, which are different from the more commonly known action potentials of axons and synapses.
In other words, the space between the neurons — and not the neurons themselves —was responsible for consciousness.
Pribram hypothesized that the fluctuations of brainwaves riding on gray matter, glial cells, and the synapto-dendritic web “create interference patterns in which memory is encoded naturally, and the waves may be analyzed by a Fourier transform.”
And remember, with a hologram,any part of it with sufficient size contains the whole of the stored information.
In
this theory, a piece of a long-term memory is similarly distributed
over a dendritic arbor so that each part of the dendritic network
contains all the information stored over the entire network.
This
structuring of the brain provides the capability of responding to
stimuli without specialized and constrained paths of nerve conduction.
Instead,
the brain operates as a general purpose computer with built-in
redundancy, each part receiving information about the whole and
performing a specific computation on it — at all scales.
Like
many structures found in nature, the brain’s architecture is fractal.
And perhaps it follows that the algorithm is as well. Consciousness
itself.
In this model, consciousness is expressed by a Fourier transform between the frequency and space-time domains of reality. It’s what reveals the available degrees of freedom with respect to the past and the future —in essence, it’s a function to decide what to pay attention to.
But ultimately, consciousness is really the platform for making a choice. A multi-dimensional awareness of and response to the environment. The basis for an informed decision, at any scale.
Perception,
then, is the re-construction of the hologram, a momentary collapse of
the wave-function into an explicate order. The filtering and focusing of
attention predicated on the past and future.
Perception is the simulation.
The
electrical signals of the nervous system are the read-write interface
to the hologram. And consciousness is what illuminates the choices
available now, in the present — focusing our attention — distorted and myopic as it may be.
Holographic Associative Memory
In
the typical operation of holograms, we shine a reference beam on a
holographic film to re-construct the visual image of the object beam,
thereby observing a virtual image in the reflected light.
And
in theory, we can also reverse the procedure, using the object beam to
illuminate the hologram, re-creating the original reference beam.
The light itself.
In
this dual mode of operation, a holographic associative memory —HAM, for
short— is a form of data storage where information from the object beam
and reference beam can be saved and retrieved by associating them with
one another in interference patterns. Each part of the pattern contains
them both, and each can be used to retrieve the other.
In other words, a hologram with a read-write interface.
HAM
is part of the family of analog, correlation-based, associative,
stimulus-response memories, where information is mapped onto the phase
orientation of complex numbers operating on a Riemann surface.
It can be considered as a complex valued artificial neural network.
The HAM also exhibits some remarkable characteristics, as it has been shown to be effective for associative memory tasks, generalization, and pattern recognition with changeable attention.
And the ability of dynamic search localization
is central to natural memory. For example, in visual perception, humans
always tend to focus on some specific objects in a pattern. Humans can
effortlessly change the focus from object to object without requiring
relearning.
HAM provides a computational model which can mimic this ability by creating a representation for focus
Stimulus-response associations are both learned and expressed in one non-iterative transformation. No backpropagation of error terms or iterative processing required.
The method forms a non-connectionist model
in which the ability to superimpose a very large number of
stimulus-response patterns or complex associations may be superimposed
or “enfolded” on a single neural element.
The generated phase angle communicates response information, andmagnitude communicates a measure of recognition (or confidence in the result).
The process permits a capability with neural system to establish dominance profile of stored information, thus exhibiting amemory profileof any range — from short-term to long-term memory.
The process follows the non-disturbance rule, that is prior stimulus-response associations are minimally influenced by subsequent learning.
The information is presented in abstract form by a complex vector which may be expressed directly by a waveformpossessing frequency and magnitude. This waveform is analogous to electro-chemical impulses believed to transmit information between biological neuron cells.
To the point, the universe is a HAM and the brain is it’s tuner.
YOU - don't have to follow the detailed equations and everything. The
celestial sphere is a Riemann sphere and the collection of light
rays/points/events comprise a lorentz group in minkowski
space.
Points on the Riemann sphere are conformal comprising a circle
on the sphere. A Riemann sphere is a complex curve or manifold, twistor
space is therefore a complex space.
Quantum mechanics is based on complex numbers and amplitudes and thus we need a complex and non-local space-time manifold.
An entire light ray is a point, a simultaneous
entity. A photon doesn't experience "time" and thus its mechanics are
and can be non-local.

weylmann |The notion of electron spin was first surmised in 1922 when the German physicists Otto Stern and WaltherGerlach noticed that a stream of silver atoms (each having a single electron in the outer 5s orbital) could be separated by a non-uniform magnetic field into two streams, ‘‘up’’ and ‘‘down.’’ At the time, no one knew what to make of this odd behavior, but three years later George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit proposed that electrons could exist in two spin states,±1/2, each with the units of angular momentumħh=h/2Ï€.
Still, the concept of electron spin varied between a simplistic physical ‘‘spinning’’ of the electron about some axis (like a child’s top) and a kind of internal angular momentum.
Today we look upon electrons and other spin-1/2 particles as havingan intrinsic angular momentum with no classical counterpart. This gave rise to the notion of such particles living in ‘‘spin space,’’ an abstract two-dimensional internal space that requires a description beyond that of scalars,vectors and tensors. Cartan’s spinor formalism was found to be appropriate for this description.
Many attempts have been made over the years to explain spinors at an intuitive, elementary level, but the simplest approach remains an appeal to basic Lorentz group theory. This is rather a pity, because undergraduate students often express an aversion to group theory because of its mathematical nature. But the theory of Lorentz rotations and boosts is relatively simple, and it has the nice property of being relativistic from the start.
In addition, it neatly admits a formalism that underlies that of the 4-vectors it ordinarily applies to, which is where spinors come in.
Even better, Lorentz theory confirms the intuitive notion that if a spinor represents half of a 4-vector (rather than the square root), then there should be two kinds of spinor: one comprising the upper half and another representing the lower half. This observation is critical, since a single two-component spinor can be shown to violate odd-even parity in quantum physics, and it takes two spinors acting together to preserve it. Thus, the Dirac bispinor—a four-component object consisting of two stacked spinors—fully preserves parity.
Our approach will therefore be based on the Lorentz transformations of rotations and boosts. There are, however,a few subtleties that other, more advanced treatments either gloss over or assert by inference, and I will try toexplain these in a more straightforward and understandable manner as we go along.
The Dirac Equation
When it was discovered that electrons can exist in both+12and12spin states, the Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli suggested in 1927 that the scalar wave functionΨin Schrödinger’s equation be replaced by a two-component spinor, each component representing one of the electron’s allowed spin states.
But while Pauli’s approach worked,it presented a problem having to do withparity; that is, the sign reversal operationΨ(x,t)→Ψ(−x,t)gaveinconsistent results in Pauli’s approach, violating the notion that Nature should be mirror-image invariant.
However, in 1928, at the age of just 25, the great British mathematical physicist Paul Adrienne Maurice Diracmade a monumental discovery, perhaps the greatest discovery in all of modern physics. The student can look upthe details, but what Dirac did was essentially take the square root of the relativistic energy-mass equation
E2=m2c4+c2p
He ended up with the set of four partial differential equations in (1) involving four4×4 matricesγμ(now calledthe Dirac gamma matrices), along with a new four-component wave functionΨa(x,t), where
a=0,1,2,3.
It was soon realized that Dirac’sΨwas abispinor, a four-component mathematical object consisting of theφRandφLWeyl spinors we identified earlier:
Ψ=Ψ0Ψ1Ψ2Ψ3=ïφRφLò
Dirac’s bispinor was found to preserve parity under the sign reversal operation
Ψ(x,t)→Ψ(−x,t).
Far more importantly, the spinorφReffectively represents the spin-up and spin-down components of an ordinary electron,while φL represents the spin-up and spin-down components of an anti-electron (known as a positron)—Dirac’swork thus predicted the existence of antimatter (the positron was subsequently discovered in 1932, for which the Caltech experimental physicist Carl Anderson won the Nobel Prize).
Dirac’s relativistic electron equation alsoexplained electron spin as a form of intrinsic angular momentum called S. Thus, the angular momentum L of an electron alone is not conserved—instead, it is L+S that is conserved.Dirac’s equation and its underlying mathematics today represent the foundation of much of modern quantum field theory.
space | Penrose admits it's a wild suggestion, but believes that like all
good scientific theories, it might be tested through experiment and
observation. These tests stem from the idea that our aeon and the one
preceding it were not completely isolated from one another. "Information
does get through," he said. "It gets through in the form of a shock
wave in our universe's initial dark matter."
Dark matter,
like dark energy, is a shadowy substance, this time needed to account
for the way structures such as galaxies and clusters of galaxies formed
in the early universe. According to Penrose's calculations, that shock
wave would have had an effect on the cosmic microwave background (CMB),
which is the leftover radiation from the Big Bang, released when the
universe was under 400,000 years old. "You'd see rings in the CMB that
are slightly warmer or cooler than the average temperature," he said.
The
equations of CCC predict that a shock wave arriving from a previous
aeon would have dragged matter into our universe. If that caused
material to head toward us, we would see light from that region shunted
to shorter wavelengths — an effect astronomers call blueshift. Equally, a
region carried away from us by a CCC shock wave would be redshifted,
meaning its wavelength would be stretched out.
Blueshifted
regions would appear hotter and redshifted areas cooler. It's these
changes Penrose believes we'd see as rings in the cosmic microwave
background. Multiple shockwaves might even have produced a series of
concentric rings. "I asked whether anyone had looked for these rings in
the sky," Penrose said.
Several years ago, it did seem as if those rings had been found, a
veritable smoking gun for CCC. "Except nobody believed us. They said it
must have been a fluke or something," Penrose said.
"But those
signatures have been confirmed by alternative groups," said Vahe
Gurzadyan a physicist at the Yerevan Physics Institute in Armenia and
Penrose's long time collaborator on CCC.
The scientists point to
the fact that a team of Polish and Canadian researchers confirmed the
presence of the rings to a confidence level of 99.7%. However, there are
still many doubters. Gurzadyan remains steadfast. "These structures are
real – there is no doubt that our calculations are reliable and
correct," he said. Still, Penrose has been exploring other approaches
that might further support the pair's claims about CCC and a time before
the Big Bang.
The transition between aeons would do something more fundamental that
just create a shock wave in our dark matter and rings in the cosmic
microwave background. "A new material, the dominant material in the
universe, is created at the crossover," Penrose said. He regards that
new material as the initial form of dark matter itself.
"But
in order that it doesn't build up from aeon to aeon, it has to decay,"
he said. He calls these initial dark matter particles erebons after
Erebos, the Greek god of darkness.
On
average it would take 100 billion years for an erebon to decay, but
there are some that will have decayed in the 14-billion-year history of
our universe. Crucially, as they decay, Penrose says erebons dump all
their energy into gravitational waves.
