Cosmic Triangles Open a Window to the Origin of Time

[Dragonoake]

A close look at fundamental symmetries has exposed hidden patterns in the universe. Physicists think that those same symmetries may also reveal time’s original secret.

I am bookmarking this to read when I have more brain. Just the title sounds fascinating (in a new-agey kind of way).

Too. Cool.

I should be in bed asleep, but instead I'm devouring this article; thanks for posting it!

As someone keen on sacred geometry, this in particular caught my eye:

the bootstrapped equation that he and his collaborators derived may be related to a geometric object, along the lines of the amplituhedron, that encodes the correlations produced during the universe’s birth even more simply and elegantly.

And then the Marvel guy in me thought:

So this made me go back and read the amplutihedron article, which got me all stoked when it first came out...

...and as a sacred geometer who, like so many others, favors the circle as a representation of the ultimate divine, this sentence practically gave me an orgasm:

"They have also found a “master amplituhedron” with an infinite number of facets, analogous to a circle in 2-D, which has an infinite number of sides. Its volume represents, in theory, the total amplitude of all physical processes. Lower-dimensional amplituhedra, which correspond to interactions between finite numbers of particles, live on the faces of this master structure."

A more fitting model of the underlying spirit manifesting itself in our reality, I could not imagine.

Interesting, given the symbolism of triangles in so many cultures; including Hinduism.
