... its fields we have derived many partial subjective truths but no fundamental ones, nor is there the prospect of any. There is nothing but ignorance. Among the many disciplines I chose to review in the first few chapters of my book to show that this condition of uncertainty is true of every academic field, I will summarize the situation in cosmology as a typical example, because it bears directly upon the debate about catastrophism. Science reporter John Boslough, in his 1992 book Masters of Time, reviews the course of astronomical theory over the past quarter century, a period of high excitement in the field, but his estimate of the state of astronomy today is depressingly like the impasse ...
62. On Method [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Part Three TECHNICAL NOTES On Method Scientific method goes far beyond such tasks as washing test tubes antiseptically or inventing a better particle shield. It is more than a logical or mathematical calculation. On any question of importance, as here in cosmology, it invokes a sociology of science and a philosophy of being and change. In the famous Piltdown Hoax, a deliberately buried modern brain case and orangutan jaw were exhumed in 1912 and pronounced an exciting discovery in human evolution (see Johanson and Edey, pp77-83). Most scientists, led by an authoritative English group, assigned to the ...
63. Thoth Vol canoes" of [Journals] [Thoth]
... on Monday, January 10, 7:00- 10:00 p.m . Pacific Time. Discussion will highlight recent discoveries from space, including the supposed "Volcanoes" of Jupiter's moon Io; the mysteries of Mars and its great chasm, the Valles Marineris; new data on the electrical Sun; and the breakdown of modern cosmology (Big Bang and everything that goes with it). Also, you'll gain many unique insights into the ancient world: the origins of Doomsday anxiety and its relation to calendar systems; global memories of the Golden Age and the fall into celestial chaos; and the ancient New Years celebration, commemorating the renewal of the world after cosmic ...
64. The Poem of Erra [Journals] [Aeon]
... upon Mesopotamian cities represented a scourge to civilized peoples of the second and first millennia BCE). Other researchers have offered similar opinions. (6 ) It is our opinion, however, that while political events may well be alluded to in several passages of the poem, its central theme- Erra's assault upon the kingdom of Marduk- is cosmological in nature and was inspired by great celestial cataclysms. Indeed it seems quite clear that the Poem of Erra describes a cataclysmic episode, or a series of events involving several planets, the end result of which was a significant shake-up of the ruling powers in the heavens. We are not the first to raise the possibility that the Poem ...

67. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... is given with regret, for he taught at UCLA during my student days, and all of us owe him much. But the remark is so typical of "logical positivists", so full of groundless self-assurance, that I give it as a specimen of what to ignore not only in Reichenbach, but in all of modern philosophy. Cosmology and Ontology cannot be ruled out as legitimate studies, least of all by those whose sole competence is in semantics and symbolic logic. Particle physics is an ontological study. What is the ultimate ground stuff of the universe? General relativity is a cosmological study. What is the universe as a whole? What is the connection between its ...
68. The Reflective Canopy Model and the Mytho-historical Record [Journals] [Aeon]
... It is thus only fair that, in evaluating and/or criticizing Zysman's model, my own should be held at bay. The comparison of Zysman's model with the competing Saturnian scenario, while tempting, shall not be relied upon. Instead, the reflective canopy model shall be tested against the mytho-historical record on the basis of which all historical cosmological models have to be reconstructed. To cover each and every aspect of Zysman's complex model is, of course, not possible in a critique that, for want of space, must necessarily be kept as short as possible. My intention, therefore, is to stress those aspects of the model which constitute its major components and which, ...

70. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... By Wal Thornhill. The grandest canyon in the solar system is Valles Marineris on Mars. It stretches a third of the way around the planet. But what in heaven can spiral galaxies have to do with the geology of Mars? In October 2001, I wrote "In light of more than a century's research in the field of plasma cosmology and the 20th century discoveries of the space age, we can confidently propose the celestial thunderbolt as a common cause of the formation of canyons and rilles on rocky planets and moons." At that time I had not come to any conclusion about the details of the electrical event that created the colossal Valles Marineris canyons on Mars. Like ...
