Cornell President Rawlings Condemns Intelligent Design
Drawing from sources ranging from Cornell's founders to Voyager space missions, Interim President Hunter R. Rawlings III condemned the push to teach intelligent design in public schools Friday. The attack came during the president's State of... http://www.cornellsun.com/vnews/display.v/...4/435c7762cf891 "The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress." - Bertrand Russell -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Physics, abstract
physics/0510102 From: Stephen D. H. Hsu [view email] Date (v1): Tue, 11 Oct 2005 20:15:52 GMT (5kb) Date (revised v2): Tue, 6 Dec 2005 06:20:04 GMT (7kb) Date (revised v3): Sat, 3 Jun 2006 04:36:35 GMT (7kb) Message in the Sky Authors: S. Hsu, A. Zee Comments: 3 pages, revtex; to appear in Mod.Phys.Lett.A Subj-class: Popular Physics We argue that the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a stupendous opportunity for the Creator of universe our (assuming one exists) to have sent a message to its occupants, using known physics. Our work does not support the Intelligent Design movement in any way whatsoever, but asks, and attempts to answer, the entirely scientific question of what the medium and message might be IF there was actually a message. The medium for the message is unique. We elaborate on this observation, noting that it requires only careful adjustment of the fundamental Lagrangian, but no direct intervention in the subsequent evolution of the universe. http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0510102 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
