... that is what is important and I am sure Rose would agree. It is flattering, but incorrect, to be termed by him "the world's leading authority on Egyptian astronomy".

Let us begin with Dr. Mage's remarks. He questions my use of the verb "shown" in reference to the Senmut and Ramesseum astronomical ceilings. Of course these ceilings were not for "show".

... really are. He has just spoken of the "hard and fast" results of science, especially by physicists and astronomers, but consider the following short observations made about astronomy and physics by "real" astronomers and "real" physicists, some of whom may be even better-known than Asimov. 1. "We can only see nature ... "natural phenomena only." " . . . wow, will that get God mad! However, I don't suppose Velikovskians are any better at theological subtleties than at astronomical ones."

... questions, it became evident that hitherto we have had no knowledge as to the appearance of the skies to an observer in Egypt about the time that the Egyptian ideas of astronomy were beginning to take share. The first thing to do, therefore, was to get a map constructed for the northern heavens. The point of observation was taken ...

The bond between astronomy and acoustics was mathematical. ... ) were linked together by a common concern for number. Thus an epistemology taking number as its basis is a perfectly legitimate approach to the early history of both musical and astronomical thought. Why not try Rashevsky's idea!
