... particles. They cross-infect each other with their theoretical requirements both to save appearances and convince governments to spend large sums of research money for super-colliders to replay bits of a hypothetical Big Bang, or to build gravity-wave telescopes when we have no proof such waves exist. The above report brings such strange science sharply into focus. It is not ordinary ... , but scientific models that are being pushed to extremes. Einstein warned: "Most mistakes in philosophy and logic occur because the human mind is apt to take the symbol for reality". Neutron stars and quarks have never been seen. They are derived from mathematical symbols. Let's take quarks first. There is little to suggest that any ...
122. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Gods', which should have ended the Conference, was brought forward to the first evening: David Talbott's video Remembering the End of the World shown on a big screen. It was visually impressive, with an excellent sound track but I thought there was too much Talbott and not enough about the Polar Configuration, though some of ... unlike a gas. Electric currents flowing through a plasma conspire to twist into ropes. Filaments down to 1km in size were recently found on the Sun's surface. Unlike Big Bang theory, which works forward from a perfect state in the remote past, we need to work backwards, asking basic questions such as: what is electric charge? ...
123. Psychoceramics [Journals] [Aeon]
... There were dissenters, to be sure, but they were rapidly becoming an unheard, voiceless minority. The universe became more tightly closed, with an hypothetical origination in a Big Bang and a destiny to return to that beginning, (30) although at first there were hesitant, unsure steps in exploring such unknown theoretical territory. Nuclear transformations ... radiodecay were deemed acausal events, which lent themselves to statistical analysis but couldn't approach the whys and wherefores until the nuclear weak force was propounded. (31) As time went on, more and more nuclear particles were discovered, as atom smashers bombarded nuclei just to see what the fragmented bits and pieces looked like and behaved. When the ...
124. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , as well of those walking alongside. The recounting of one's precursors has in it an element of snobbery, like the genealogical research that discovers barons but not brigands, big shots rather than bums. V. was especially careful to admit no disgraceful ancestors and came near to the point of acknowledging no one; pari passu he would not ... so deep drawn out that in between them you plan how you will shape a bust in stone, and next time play that passage piu adagio. Fingering the fiddleneck and banging the chisel, just and nice your big hands were that shook my big hands roughly. Your pot of tea is pouring interminably into our china cups and, yes ...
125. Thoth Vol III, No. 8: May 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... philosophers will deliberate on how the Universe came to exist, our place in it, and a selection of cosmic destinies. Nobody will claim to know the answers to these Big Questions yet but discussing them is now almost commonplace in scientific circles. Cosmologists are convinced that the universe began with a big bang, and think they know more or ... how it happened. They are pretty sure of the fine details after the first trillionth of a second or so. For the moment, physicists believe they are on the verge of a "theory of everything" linking all fundamental forces and particles of nature in a mathematical frame-work. Some key topics are still deeply mysterious. The origin of ...
126. Thoth Vol II, No. 14: Sept 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... learn, you're hopping to another, usually very close, branch. The Truth you believe in today is a little different from yesterday's. And sometimes the change is so big you find yourself clinging to the branch of a different tree: You change religions, or switch political parties, or experience a paradigm shift. After doing it several ... Boston and Australia say they have direct observational evidence that the expansion of the universe is speeding up. Since gravity is a brake on the expansion that began with the Big Bang about 15 billion years ago, then there must be some other countering force. They call it a repulsive force, or antigravity. On a scale of half the ...
127. Prehistory and Earth Models [Books]
... that continental drift may no longer be an unacceptable theory but rather a fairly well-supported one. This all tended to generate further interest and belief in the original contention. The big question in the author's mind was: how were geologic time and uniformitarianism going to survive an established continental drift, which would seem to strike at the very foundations of ... , Calvin [1956], Urey [1952], Fox [1956] and others. The universe is supposed to have assumed approximately its present form following the big bang' and nuclear synthesis' around five billion years ago. Then in the next two or three billion years' nuclear radiation is supposed to have subsided to the point ...
128. Morphic Fields and Resonances [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... b ) Evolutionary. Eternity (from the Greek) implies shapes, maths, timely principals of change, but is never changing. Evolutionary implies that everything changes. The Big Bang theory has made physics evolutionary! An example of evolutionary morphic resonance involves the formation of new crystals for the first time, which predicts that after a crystal has ... formed the first time, it should get easier producing it subsequently. And indeed, this is what is observed. The standard model suggests this is due to their being microscopic crystals contaminating future crystalisations; but this often happens in new laboratories (where it is suggested that the crystal contamination is carried on the beards of chemists!). ...

... swirling gas and dust cloud 4.5 billion years ago, and the order of the planets has not changed since. (2 ) The universe began in a "big bang" some 10 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. (3 ) Newtonian gravitation is the sole force that governs the cosmos and electromagnetic forces have ... or no effect (whether direct or indirect) on the motions of the planets. (4 ) Comets are dirty balls of snowy ice that sublimate when near the sun. Although nearly every shred of data collected to date contradicts these axioms that were voted into prominence before the space age ever began, all journal articles and other theoretical work ...

... , 484, 1995). Does it really matter who writes the letter? Is an apparently vindicated prediction of no interest if it conflicts with conventional assumptions? If the Big Bang model had predicted this, would a Letter pointing out this fact have been treated differently? Are the editors of Science justified in their actions? To me it ... that predictions play such an important role in science that ignoring or suppressing them or their empirical tests is unscientific. What do you think? ...
