Is Eternal Inflation Past-Eternal? And What if It Is?

, 2012
As a result of discussions with Bousso and Vilenkin I want to return to the question of whether the multiverse is past-eternal or if there was a beginning. Not surprisingly, given three people, there were three answers. However, the discussions have led to some common ground.

Photoperiodism‐Specific QTLs Support Switch‐Like Genetic Control of Obligate Long‐Day Photoperiodism in Mimulus guttatus

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 6, November 2026.
Photoperiodic flowering is well studied in facultative photoperiodism plants, but the genetic basis of obligate photoperiodism remains poorly understood. Using QTL mapping and RNA‐seq in Mimulus guttatus, we identified photoperiodism‐specific QTLs that are distinct from flowering‐time QTLs, supporting switch‐like genetic control of obligate long‐day ...
