Afterward: Humboldt was Right

Was Einstein 100% Right ? *

The confrontation between General Relativity and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. The agreement between experiment and theory is numerically very impressive. However, some recent theoretical findings (existence of non-perturbative strong-field effects, natural cosmological attraction toward zero scalar couplings) suggest that the pr...

Fisher Was Right

Was Sierpinski Right? IV

We prove for any μ = μ < θ < λ, λ large enough (just strongly inaccessible Mahlo) the consistency of 2 = λ → [θ]23 and even 2 μ = λ → [θ]2σ,2 for σ < μ. The new point is that possibly θ > μ. Typed 5/92 (20 , k 2 -Mahlo,λ → [א2]23; some on models) I thank Alice Leonhardt for the beautiful typing. Latest Revision 2012/Oct/24 Revised and Expanded 5/94 based on lectures, Summer ’94, Jerusalem. Part...

Humboldt expansion

produce. I am, of course, talking about 'the correlation of parts', 'developmental constraints', 'mutational bias', the 'integration of development with evolution', 'the real reason pigs can't fly' — every generation since Darwin has considered, and failed to solve, the problem, though they've usually given it a new name. The second question is rather like the first: can we predict the course o...

Language lateralisation and early right ear deafness: was Wernicke right?

The effects of early right ear deafness on lateralisation of auditory language functions are not fully known. A 36 year old right handed man, with a history of perinatal right ear deafness and undergoing evaluation for surgical treatment of seizures that began at age 10 years was studied. Language lateralisation testing by intracarotid sodium amobarbital injection showed receptive and expressiv...
