25. BEHIND THE HOAXERS - PHYSICISTS, SCIENTISTS, STOMPERS AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF Marcus Allen's article about the secret history of crop circle making. http://www.greatdreams.com/faking.htm

BEHIND THE HOAXERS - PHYSICISTS, SCIENTISTS, STOMPERS AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF CIRCLE FAKING by Marcus Allen (from The Sussex Circular #33, September, 1994) An international organisation exists which appears to be solely concerned with debunking and ridiculing the work of others. This organisation is CSICOP - The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. It was formed in 1976 by Professor Paul Kurtz as a breakaway group from the American Humanist Association. Paul Kurtz, born in 1925, is now retired as a philosophy lecturer at New York University. Politically, he is a Social Democrat, part of the American Non-Communist Left through which the CIA channeled funding from large American foundations such as Ford and Rockefeller, to promote liberalism in Europe during the Cold War. Kurtz was concerned about the revival of Astrology in the US, and circulated a letter to leading scientists and academics collecting 186 signatures, including those of 18 Nobel Prize winners, to a manifesto called "Objections to Astrology", the publication of which brought about the formation of CSICOP. Soon afterwards, Kurtz held a press conference in New York to announce "a campaign to purge the media of occultist leanings" and to ensure "no TV programs dealing with parascience would go out unvetted by the appropriate authorities", i.e. CSICOP. Among it's first members were science fiction writer Isaac Isimov, magician and showman James Randi, and astronomer and writer Professor Carl Sagan.

32. The Sound Of Solitary Waves physicists have demonstrated the first acoustic solitary waves in airwaves that can travel long distances without changing shape. http://focus.aps.org/story/v4/st24

Previous Story Next Story July - December 1999 Archive Phys. Rev. Lett. (issue of 15 November 1999) 10 November 1999 Title and Authors The Sound of Solitary Waves Railway Technical Research Institute , Japan Faster than a speeding bullet? The maglev trains now under development in Japan have topped 550 km/h, and their high speeds may exacerbate the problem of tunnel noise. Research on the problem led to the demonstration of the first sound waves that travel long distances without distortion. Communications engineers want complex light signals to travel through long fiberoptic cables without changing shape, so they have been developing optical solitary waveswaveforms that travel long distances without distortion. But solitary sound waves are thought to be very difficult to produce because the properties of air don't seem to permit them. In the 15 November PRL a Japanese team demonstrates the first production of acoustic solitary waves in air, which they say could lead to the undistorted transmission of heat and other forms of energy, as well as the elimination of troublesome shock waves from train tunnels and air compressors. Any large disturbance in airlike a lightening bolt or even a high-speed train entering a tunnelnormally generates a traveling sound wave that changes shape as it propagates. If it doesn't dissipate first, the pulse eventually forms a shock wavethe thunder clap forms immediately in the case of lightening. Solitary waves in optical fibers maintain their shape because the material exhibits "dispersion," a speed of light that depends on frequency in just the right way. But the speed of sound in air is relatively independent of frequency, so solitary sound waves have been a great challenge.

Birkeland was a pioneer in studying the magnetic field of the earth and the aurora borealis.

The equipment will detect muons, tiny particles that are created when cosmic rays bombard the Earth's atmosphere. Dr Arturo Menchaca and colleagues from Mexico's National Autonomous University hope that by tracking the muons through the pyramid, they can find cavities. This could indicate whether the kings of the ancient people who built the site are also entombed within it. Yellow spikes "Down we go - and mind your head," Dr Menchaca says, as he adjusts his yellow hard-hat, and lowers himself down the rusting iron steps in to a dark 2,000-year-old tunnel running beneath the Pyramid of the Sun. It is a 100m walk along the cramped tunnel to the team's new laboratory, a plastic shed set up in a cavern in the bowels of the structure.

36. PHIL 2510: Milesian Physicists Some study notes, with an emphasis on the received view of this tradition. http://www.webster.edu/~evansja/guides/milesians.html

MILESIAN PHILOSOPHY Interpreting fragmented philosophies making your sources speak sense reconstructing plausible arguments for their conclusions avoiding anachronisms: terms, issues, interests, arguments A received view: three (and only three?) Generations three Questions What is the primary stuff? ? The ONE How does this stuff change? The MANY How does (some of) this stuff come to be alive? some problems with the received view What I call here the "received view" has its advantages. It organizes otherwise fragmentary thought in a context, it demonstrates the nature of philosophical "progress" via reasoned criticism, and it stresses the continuity between the earliest themes in Western philosophy and the questions that captured later thinkers. The view also has some problems. If Milesian Philosphy focused on these three questions, it is difficult to explain either Anaximander's detailed cosmology, with its (pardon the pun) limited reference to the Unlimited ( APERION ) or Anaximines' rejection of Anaximander's compelling arguments. As far as Anaximander is concerned, the APERION does not seem to provide adequate basis for his concern with cylces, opposites, and imbalances. As for Anaximander, although his philosophy appears to have been markedly less abstract than that of his predecessor, he does seem to have concentrated on observable transformations. It may not be too great an exaggeration to say that Anaximines took up the scientific clues in Anaxminader's work, and that these interested him more than the more metaphysical and speculative concepts.

This is the first experiment to produce large numbers of these doubly strange nuclei Adam Usek, Brookhaven Physicists created atomic nuclei containing two strange quarks at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States. Since the 1960s, only a handful of such particles have been detected and then only in small quantities. "This is the first experiment to produce large numbers of these doubly strange nuclei," said Brookhaven physicist Adam Rusek. "That's enough events to begin a study using statistical techniques." Atom smasher The experiment took place within a particle accelerator, where atoms were smashed into their constituent particles, the building blocks of matter.
