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...

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...

In the summer before I started taking Fisher's lecture courses in statistical and mathematical population genetics, I was given a reading list that included Fisher's three outstanding books, The Genetical Theory of Natu...
