Baby universes

We can go even further and think about the wild implications for multiple universes—such as those presented in my Neoreality series— and what they say about our power in relation to God s. Stanford University physics professor Andrei Linde has speculated that it might be possible to create a new baby universe in a laboratory by violently...

Figure 9.4 Cosmological Darwinism. Researchers postulate that baby universes are spawned from parent universes, and the babies also have babies. According to one theory, the children inherit similar physical laws from their parents, and successful universes have a tendency to produce successful offspring. As explained, successful universes are long-lived and have many children and stars, all of which encourages the formation of biological life.

There are also many proposed solutions to the entropy problem (why there is so very much more than one minimal Boltzmann brain in our L-region and O-region), some of which we have already discussed and /or cited in Sects. 5-8, other than Planck-power input. But there are still other proposed solutions to the entropy problem. One other proposed solution that we have not yet cited entails quantum fluctuations ensuring that every baby Universe starts out with an unstable large cosmological-constant, which corresponds to low total entropy because it is thermodynamically favorable for the consequent high-energy false vacuum to decay spontaneously [169,170], Yet another proposed solution that we have not yet cited entails observer-assisted low entropy [168].

In June 1977 in intact, completely frozen, baby wooly mammoth (named Dima) was uncovered by a bulldozer operation in the Magadan region of northeastern Siberia. A sample of 1.3 grams of muscle was made available to M. Goodman of the Anatomy Department of Wayne State University School of Medicine. At his request, a sample of about. 9 milligrams, obtained from 4 milligrams of muscle, was dated to have an age of 27,000 years. 

Most lists of emotions exclude the esthetic emotions, Pugh (1977) being an exception. Yet how can one otherwise account for the universality of art and music (see also Dissayanake, 1988 Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1989) Various animals seem to have a preference for certain geographical features such a tendency would be adaptive in guiding nomadic species to appropriate habitats, just as humans everywhere seem to perfer savannah-like terrain for their parks. The appeal of ideal features of babies or mates might also be included under this emotion, but perhaps placed elsewhere. 

Folic acid deficiency can cause mental retardation in babies. That s a fact. So researchers at the University of Kentucky wondered whether a deficiency later in life could be associated with the mental impairment that sometimes characterizes aging. They elected to study a group of elderly Minnesota nuns who were keen on contributing to the advancement of science. Nuns are good subjects for studies on aging, because they tend... 

Infants with Iron Deficiency. B. l.o/off (Case Western Reserve University) and associates repotted that "Several consistent results have emerged from five studies of the behavior and development of infant with iron-deliciency anemia, a condition that affects at least 21) to 25 percent of the world s babies." All live studies used careful de lin it ions of iron status and included comparison groups without anemia All showed that infants with anemia scored lower on tests of mental development administered before treatment than infants without anemia did. 

During the past forty years, disposable diapers have become an important part of the economy. Since the average baby uses at least ten diapers per day for an average of two years, the convenience of the product has made it a very popular as well as controversial item. A recent survey by Texas A M University reported that 81 percent of the participants exclusively used disposable diapers, 15 percent used cloth and disposables, while just 4 percent used only cloth diapers. 

It is important to note that, while PA intake must be significantly reduced in affected individuals, PA is still an essential amino acid and cannot be completely eliminated from the diet. As such, growth rate and PA levels need to be monitored regularly. Unfortunately, as clearly identified by Mrs. Urick, these diets are often expensive and universally unpalatable. As such, compliance is frequently a clinical issue (Bodamer, 2003 Scriver, 2000). In this case, the physician is left with several questions Was it appropriate for Mrs. Urick to discontinue her diet What are the implications, if any, for her unborn baby and Will she or her baby be a candidate for BH4 therapy ... 

There in a nutshell was the problem vis-a-vis a psychedelic politics these substances opened up much too much. They were a doorway into a universe of strange and sometimes terrifying information. These were not facile tools rather, they were an invitation to explorers, and a percentage of the Baby Boom s best and brightest responded by turning into mind wanderers, seeking adventure in the unclaimed real estate of the imagination.
