Rick Rosner explains his idea of “everything eats its tail” as matter under extreme pressure becoming degenerate, then differentiating into new states—essentially a universe as an information processor. Time itself emerges from this unfolding differentiation. He compares the incompleteness of his own ideas to George Gamow, who conceptualized the Big Bang before all the math was worked out. Asked about unsung physics heroes, Rosner points to Rosalind Franklin, whose crystallography enabled Crick and Watson’s DNA breakthrough but who died before Nobel recognition. He critiques the Nobel system as topical, political, and inconsistent, likening it to basketball MVP awards or Obama’s premature Peace Prize.
