Scientists think there’s a mirror universe where time moves backwards.
Some scientists say that our universe could just be one side of the coin. The other side is something they call the “anti-universe”. It’s basically a hypothetical mirror universe where time moves backward.

I've been increasingly impressed by the content of The Rebel Wisdom Channel recently, and then this popped up at the weekend and it's fucking fascinating.
Talks to the origins of left and right brain competences, truth, god and some impressive understanding of how humans view the world.
Hope you enjoy...
- I got his book, The Master and the Emissary after listening to this. It's a beast. McGilchrist is amazingIanbolton
- I really want to buy 'The Matter with Things" but its £95. Maybe Santa will bring it :-)Morning_star
- If only Santa was real hahaIanbolton

- yeah, listen to huberman podcast on vision, side to side eye movement = moving forward in a calm and confident manner from an evolutionary historic perspective.shapesalad

New biotech startup founded by geneticist George Church will try to reverse engineer woolly mammoths from elephant embryos using CRISPR. Discuss...
- Spared no expense.palimpsest
- Like trying to reverse engineer a wolf from a poodlegrafician
- Well people have definitely shown that you can sort of get back to a wild dog (wolf like) through breeding. Can’t get to wolf exactly though, not how it works.monospaced
- With focused intent and some crispr I don’t see why this would be impossible.monospaced
- Elephants and mammoths seem closer than poodles and wolves from my perspective. Fascinating stuff.monospaced
- You can breed a poodle with a wolf and you already have half a wolf. They share 99.9% of DNA.palimpsest
- While mammoths and African elephants share a common ancestor dogs are direct descendants of wolves.
Up to each one to decide what's closer.palimpsest - I gave that example exactly because even with very similar DNA you can't do it.
But sure, let them try. We'll need mammoths for the next ice age anywaygrafician - The mammuthus and modern day elephant are both closely related, they are both from the same Elephantidae family.utopian
- I thought they had been doing this for like 60 years nowscarabin
- There are some projects ongoing to try to reverse engineer chickens into dinosaurs.
https://www.inverse.…yuekit - Obviously this is much harder than the mammoth but apparently they got as far as generating a dinosaur snout and feet on a chicken embryo.yuekit
- A graphic design forum, that's where i go for the truth about genetic engineering.jagara
- Yes. Glad to see we have genetic engineering experts here as well! Do your own research.inteliboy
- Did my own research...checks outs!utopian
- Wasn’t there a film about this in the 90s? I’m sure it will all work out fine.Chimp
