What if the universe doesn’t lose energy…
but records it?
In this article I explore the Void Ledger — a mechanical idea where universes leak energy over time, and the surrounding void keeps the account.
No exotic physics.
No singularities.
Just pressure, drift, and conservation.

finished reading I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
by Ed Yong.

Delves into the many varied & amazing ways humans & animals have evolved to depend upon microbes. Most of this was familiar to me already, though told in the author's excellent clear & awed way. New was the incredible nesting of microbes within high-order animal cells, with each doing distinct jobs, such that none can survive without the others. Yong is always good for a celebration of life & its complexity.
