181 pages of results. 821. Catalogue Of Discordant Redshift Associations (Book review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... by Amy Acheson The opening words of Halton Arp's new book are these: "Empirical evidence which is repeatable forms the indispensable basis of science. The following- Catalogue of Discordant Redshift Associations- applies this principle to the problem of extragalactic redshifts. The Catalogue entries establishes unequivocally that high redshift objects are often at the same distance as, and physically associated with, galaxies of much lower redshift." Arp follows with a 39-page review of how discordant redshifts were discovered and why they are important, using examples, pictures, and diagrams taken from previous books and papers. He discusses the alignment of high redshift objects along the spin axes of low redshift active galaxies, and how in ...
822. "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 2 (Winter 1981) Home | Issue Contents "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review Thomas Mccreery Thomas McCreery lectures in physics at Cardonald College Glasgow. The past two decades have witnessed an ever increasing interest in archaeoastronomy, resulting in the inevitable boom in subject literature. As a rule, these publications are distinguished more for their excessive partiality and cavalier approach to data appraisal in favour of the ideas being advanced than for their critical evaluation of these hypotheses. What promised to be an exception to this trend, In Search of Ancient Astronomies, was warmly recommended by the Bulletin of the Center for Archaeoastronomy [henceforth Archaeoastronomy ( ...
823. ABC's of Astrophysics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . His head contained a large quantity of whispers and scratches telling him what to avoid and what might be chosen. He disagreed with most of Teilhard de Chardin's work, for instance but in reading The Appearance of Man, he caught a fine phrase that would describe his own mental set: "On the cosmic scale (as all modern Physics teaches us) only the fantastic has a chance of being true." Chardin followed this course by continuing as a Catholic priest; Deg followed it more specifically. It was strange that an old, different order of the heavens did not suggest itself much earlier. However, going through the hundreds of titles that Earl Milton and he ...
824. When Was the Lunar Surface Last Molten? [Journals] [Pensee]
... challenge concerning the last time the lunar surface was heated and became also partly molten. I intend to show that of the three possibilities in Professor Derek York's discourse, the evidence is for (c ) - - "there is something wrong with the radioactive clocks or our reading of them." First, I will cite the impression the physical appearance of the lunar rocks made on qualified observers. The Lunar Sample Preliminary Examination Team (" Preliminary Examination of Lunar Samples from Apollo 11") recorded "the extremely fresh appearance of the interior of all crystalline rocks, in spite of their microfractures and high potassium-argon age." As to the exterior of the lunar material, T ...
825. Myths, Monuments, and Mnemonics [Journals] [Horus]
... Myths, Monuments, and Mnemonics by David Griffard The Pyramids at Gizeh have drawn many visitors in both ancient and modern times - a genuine "Wonder of the World". Unfortunately time has blurred our knowledge of their meaning or purpose. Changes in language and culture sometimes separated by dark-ages many centuries long have fragmented and confused Egypt's history. Physical damage to the Pyramids by natural and human causes has obscured the original grandeur and has erased any symbols that may have been carved or painted on the finished facing-stone. The timeless mystery of the Pyramids remains. The most common story is that they were royal tombs built by great Pharaohs as personal memorials. Because of the technical skills required ...
... impartial referees. Apparently, although the book was already in press, the publishers were prepared to take a financial loss at that stage rather than to publish something that was obviously pseudo-science. Again, we do not know the identities of all the new reviewers, but one of them reportedly [172] was the chairman of the Department of Physics at New York University. That would seem to be a thoroughly sensible choice. And, having chosen individuals whose judgment could be presumed to be both informed and impartial, Macmillan accepted their judgment: a two-to-one majority in favor of publication.7 I fail to see how the publishers could have acted more responsibly. In the end, ...

... new additions. The CD-ROM formats include All Mac and Windows 3.1 , Win95 and NT. CD-ROM allows the full colour and clarity of the slide presentation to be seen and facilitates searches for information. The cost is $44. "The single most devastating argument against Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision has been that it defies the laws of physics. But following decades of further research by David Talbott, Ev Cochrane and Dwardu Cardona, the weight of evidence is now overwhelming that our skies were very different within the collective memory of the human race. So, can it really be true that in the historical blink of an eye, in the last few decades of the twentieth ...

... science of things that aren't so". Two key symptoms of such science are: (1 ) the resort to fantastic theories contrary to our experience, and (2 ) the use of ad-hoc requirements to save the appearances. If we apply these criteria, two disciplines that share line honours for pathological or strange science are cosmology and particle physics. They both deal with unseen objects - neutron stars, black holes, quarks, etc. They both produce fantastic ad- hoc requirements to explain new discoveries - dark matter, super- heavy objects and exotic particles. They cross-infect each other with their theoretical requirements both to save appearances and convince governments to spend large sums of research ...
