Was Cajal right about sleep?

Myopia: was mother right about reading in the dark?

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...

Max Weber was Right about the Preconditions, Just Wrong about Japan: The Japanese Ethic and its Spirit of Capitalism
