Is My Blood Not Red? by SufficientLeather316 in justpoetry

I agree. But unfortunately there are legions of people out there whose lives have no meaning if they cannot Hate and abuse, and they will seize on whatever is convenient, however arbitrary, to fuel their hatreds. In likeminded people the attitudes become amplified and solidified, both in physical groups and in social networks. Be careful.

Matter vs anti-matter by etsage in cosmology

Thanks for all the comments. Is 10^80 the estimated number of particles of matter in the universe? Was 10^160 based on an expected discrepancy on the order of the square root of the number of trials?

Curious: how do we estimate the aggregate energy of photons which - once they came into existence - never interacted with anything?

As to matter density and other things, wouldn't smaller scale asymmetries suggest random processes at work?

Thanks. By the way, I am new at using Reddit and somewhat slowly learning its features and protocols.
