a special place, rare, unique,fragile,  irreplaceable, our home - 
All the people of earth  are all in grave danger, not from terrorists or natural forces, not from climate change or disease but from the dark forces of Moron. 
Moron ! the dark lord of stupidity , the bringer of dumb, the harbinger of  delusion, ignorance and darkness. The maintainer of mumbo jumbo , hocus pocus and gobble d gook, whos shadow we are all born under. 
His disciples the Morons do his work , spreading dumb, doing dumb , being dumb and the dumbness envelopes us all in a great dark cloak of ignorance. For these are the Dim AGES. Belief and delusion, the pillars of Morons evil work, abound across the earth , Imaginary beings, unsustainable economics,the destruction of life for profit. Moron feeds on the fantasy  lives of billions of  Humans as they grope though the glory of existence hobbled by  collective stupidity, blinded by ignorance, crippled by lies.  
Unless we fight them Morons will destroy us and our home the earth , morons will make you and your children stupid, morons believe anything and will kill you if you don&#039;t believe it as well, morons are everywhere and the dark lord moron is making more every day...Now is the time to take sides, to stand with The Astronomers on the eternal road of infinite study , on side of light and life and knowledge, to praise the laws of physics and spread the sacred facts . and all other things that we may know, and to  while morons believe, for none will be spared and none will be untouched  in - The WAR ON Moron -  Morons who believe without  question , who have faith but no facts , morons who claim a higher hand guides them to be dumb, commands them to be stupid and encourages their ignorance, must be stopped. Only Morons can destroy life  and claim a higher purpose, morons are base, merciless, killers whos dogma bigotry prejudice fear and loathing has doomed humanity to millenia of ignorance and suffering. We The Astronomers must  fight Moron’s  before his dominion over the people of the earth is complete , before believing becomes compulsoy once more, before this brief window of  light is snuffed out  and the tyrrany of dogma returns, before Morons, in the senseless quest for wealth, destroy more of earth  and its life. We are all born morons but  By ridding ourselves of ignorance we are saved  from stupidity and dumbness. So it is for the world  armed with knowledge, spreading the facts, shining the light of enquiry , we Fight to save the earth and its people from Moron , for we are their salvation , we the Astronomers must  bring the miracle of facts,the joy of knowing to the people, gently washing moron from their minds, illuminating the darkest corners of dumb, lighting up a world of mumbo jumbo with the awe and wonder of Universe, adding to our order the minds of all humans till we rid the world of ignorance  and Moron is defeated. Join the astronomers and follow in the footsteps of some really smart people, for every human on the eternal road of infinite study is one less followers of the dark forces of Moron.

    Perhaps the universe is not so much strange as brimming with lovely paradox. The search for such beauty seems to lie at the heart of Frank Wilczek’s work. Twentieth century physics, from Einstein through Wilczek’s own Nobel Prize-winning efforts, involves demonstrating the existence of a topsy-turvy reality: for instance, that such sub-atomic particles as quarks and gluons, which have little or no mass, “orchestrate themselves into not just protons and neutrons but you and me,” according to Wilczek. “How is it possible to construct heavy objects out of objects that weigh nothing?,” he asks. Only by “creating mass out of pure energy.” These particles are essentially “excitations in otherwise empty space.” Says Wilczek: “That suggests something …beautiful and poetic: the masses of particles are not like, or similar to or metaphorically suggested by—they are the tones or frequencies of vibration patterns in dynamical voids.” The theory of quarks and gluons and the strong interaction accounts quantitatively for “the mass of protons, neutrons and ultimately you and me and everything around us.” But physics has not yet squared away all aspects of the universe. Wilzcek says that “in cosmology, we meet our match, and don’t know what’s going on.” This is because scientists can’t account for much of the mass in the cosmos. 70% of this mass is in “dark energy,” which is pushing the universe apart. Wilczek hopes that explanations for the dark stuff will emerge through improving equations, unifying theories of different interactions and extending their symmetries. “Beautifying equations leads not to ugly consequences but beautiful surprises,” he concludes.</p><p>Added by: <a href="http://www.theastronomers.org/deek">deek</a><br />Tags: <a

Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series &quot;Cosmos: A Personal Voyage&quot;, which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.

A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel &quot;Contact&quot;, the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemecki&#039;s film of the same name starring Jodie Foster.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.

TEXT POSTED HERE
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR)

The brainchild of Robert G. Jahn, who, in 1979, when he was Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University, claimed he wanted “to pursue rigorous scientific study of the interaction of human consciousness with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes common to contemporary engineering practice.” In short, he wanted to be a parapsychologist and test psychokinesis (PK) and remote viewing (called remote perception by the PEAR folks). The PEAR folks are best known for their study of the mind influencing the behavior of machines, so this entry will focus on that work.

Scientists have been unable to find any clear and decisive evidence for psychokinesis. Those who claimed to move objects with only the power of their mind use tricks such as blowing on objects, moving them with thin threads, and using static charges to move objects. Some parapsychologists have not given up the chase, however. They began searching for micro-psychokinesis (MPK), minds affecting machines in ways that can&#039;t be detected except by statistics. Just as significant variance from chance in an ESP experiment is taken as evidence of ESP (the psi assumption), so a statistically significant deviation from chance in an MPK experiment is taken as evidence of MPK.

The PEAR lab shut down in February 2007 to a yawning scientific community.

In the 1960s, physicist and parapsychologist Helmut Schmidt started using random event generators to do MPK experiments. According to Dean Radin (1997), over the years Schmidt provided solid scientific support for the MPK hypothesis (or precognition, since there does not seem to be any way to tell the difference between MPK and precognition. Is the mind affecting the outcome of a random event generator or is anticipating what the outcome will be?)

In 1986, Jahn, Brenda Dunne, and Roger Nelson reported on millions of trials with 33 subjects over seven years trying to use their minds to override random number generators (RNG). Think of the RNG as producing zeros and ones. Over the long haul, the laws of probability predict that in a truly random sequence, there should be 50% of each produced. The subjects in the PEAR experiments tried to use their minds to produce more zeros (or ones, depending on the assignment). In short, the PEAR people did what many drivers do when they try to use their thoughts to make a red light turn green.

Radin thinks the PEAR group replicated Schmidt&#039;s work in 258 experimental studies and 127 control studies. C. E. M. Hansel examined the studies done after 1969 and before 1987 that attempted to replicate Schmidt’s work. He notes: “The main fact that emerges from this data is that 71 experiments gave a result supporting Schmidt’s findings and 261 experiments failed to do so” (Hansel 1989: 185). That is the beauty of meta-analysis: you can transform a failure rate of nearly 4 to 1 into a grand success.

In 1987, Dean Radin and Nelson did a meta-analysis of all RNG experiments done between 1959 and 1987 and found that they produced odds against chance beyond a trillion to one (Radin 1997: 140). This sounds impressive, but as Radin says “in terms of a 50% hit rate, the overall experimental effect, calculated per study, was about 51 percent, where 50 percent would be expected by chance” [emphasis added] (141). A couple of sentences later, Radin gives a more precise rendering of ;quot;about 51 percent;quot; by noting that the overall effect was ;quot;just under 51 percent.;quot; Similar results were found with experiments where people tried to use their minds to affect the outcome of rolls of the dice, according to Radin. And, when Nelson did his own analysis of all the PEAR data (1,262 experiments involving 108 people), he found similar results to the earlier RNG studies but ;quot;with odds against chance of four thousand to one;quot; (Radin 1997: 143). Nelson also claimed that there were no ;quot;star;quot; performers.

However, according to Ray Hyman, “the percentage of hits in the intended direction was only 50.02%;quot; in the PEAR studies (Hyman 1989: 152). And one ‘operator’ (the term used to describe the subjects in these studies) was responsible for 23% of the total data base. Her hit rate was 50.05%. Take out this operator and the hit rate becomes 50.01%. According to John McCrone, ;quot;Operator 10,;quot; believed to be a PEAR staff member, ;quot;has been involved in 15% of the 14 million trials, yet contributed to a full half of the total excess hits;quot; (McCrone 1994). According to Dean Radin, the criticism that there ;quot;was any one person responsible for the overall results of the experiment...was tested and found to be groundless;quot; (Radin 1997: 221). His source for this claim is a 1991 article by Jahn et al. in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, ;quot;Count population profiles in engineering anomalies experiments;quot; (5:205-32). However, Jahn gives the data for his experiments in Margins of Reality: The Role of Consciousness in the Physical World (Harcourt Brace, 1988, p. 352-353). McCrone has done the calculations and found that &#039;If  [operator 10&#039;s] figures are taken out of the data pool, scoring in the ;quot;low intention;quot; condition falls to chance while ;quot;high intention;quot; scoring drops close to the .05 boundary considered weakly significant in scientific results.;quot;

According to McCrone, the ;quot;size of the effect is about .1 percent, meaning that for every thousand electronic tosses, the random event generator is producing about one more head or tail than it should by chance alone;quot; (McCrone 1994). Jahn says that the measured effect of MPK was ;quot;not large enough that you&#039;re going to notice it over a brief experiment, but over very long periods of study, we see a systematic departure of the behavior of the machine in correlation with what the operator wants it to do;quot; (Park 2000: 198). Most experiments in medicine or psychology use fewer than 100 trials, or perhaps a few hundred at most. Big trials will have 25,000 or more subjects. Massive prospective studies might survey 250,000 people. The most commonly used P-value in the social sciences and medical studies is P;lt;0.05, where there is a one in twenty chance that the result is a statistical fluke. The 95% confidence interval, used as a standard in most of these studies, is arbitrary, however. It can be traced back to the 1930s and R. A. Fisher. There is nothing sacred about the standard, but it was not introduced to be used with studies having millions of data points. The RNG studies go into the millions of trials, allowing a very small effect to generate a very large statistic. When we’re dealing with small effects and millions of trials ;quot;even the slightest departure from the assumptions might suffice to produce artificially significant outcomes;quot; (Hyman 1989: 151). The main assumption that Jahn and his colleagues made may not be warranted. ;quot;It is not clear that any of these machines is truly random. Indeed, it is generally believed that there are no truly random machines. It may be that lack of randomness only begins to show up after many trials;quot; (Park 2000: 199).

These data should remind us that statistical significance does not imply importance. Science that claims to have identified barely detectable causal agents observed near the threshold of sensation, which are nevertheless asserted to have been detected with great accuracy and be of great significance, is one of the signs of what Irving Langmuir called pathological science and Bob Park calls voodoo science.

Furthermore, Stanley Jeffers, a physicist at York University, Ontario, has repeated the Jahn experiments but with chance results (Alcock 2003: 135-152). (See ;quot;Physics and Claims for Anomalous Effects Related to Consciousness;quot; in Alcock et al. 2003. Abstract.) And Jahn et al. failed to replicate the PEAR results in experiments done in Germany (See ;quot;Mind/Machine Interaction Consortium: PortREG Replication Experiments,;quot; Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 14, No. 4, pp. 499–555, 2000).

Based on the results of these experiments, Radin claims that “researchers have produced persuasive, consistent, replicated evidence that mental intention is associated with the behavior of …physical systems” (Radin 1997: 144). That sounds like a hasty conclusion to me. He also claims that “the experimental results are not likely due to chance, selective reporting, poor experimental design, only a few individuals, or only a few experimenters” (Radin 1997: 144). He&#039;s probably right except for the bit about it being unlikely that the experimental results are due to chance or to only a few individuals.

Jahn, six of his associates, and PEAR even have a patent (US5830064) on an “Apparatus and method for distinguishing events which collectively exceed chance expectations and thereby controlling an output.” The PEAR people are so convinced of the breakthrough nature of their work that they have incorporated as Mindsong Inc. They claim their corporation ;quot;is developing a range of breakthrough products and research tools based on a provocative new technology—proprietary microelectronics which are responsive to the inner states of living systems.;quot; One of their breakthrough products is some software ;quot;that allows you to influence, with your mind, which of two images will be displayed on your computer screen.;quot; They also sell a device for several hundred dollars that lets you do your own testing of mental influence on randomized outputs.

On their website, PEAR states that after more than twenty-five years they are shutting down and moving on. ;quot;Over the next few years, PEAR will be concluding its experimental operations at Princeton University,;quot; says the notice on their ;quot;Future;quot; tab.* It seems that Bob Jahn and Brenda Dunne are not quitting, however, for they are looking for a number of like-minded folks who want to spend their time or money on the study of minds interacting with machines. They&#039;ve set up a new outfit called International Consciousness Research Laboratories. As their first fundraiser, they are selling ;quot;a multi-DVD/CD set entitled The PEAR Proposition;quot; for a mere $62, including psychic shipping and handling. The replication studies are available on a blank DVD disc, available at no cost to true believers.

Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about PEAR is the fact that suggestions by critics that should have been considered were routinely ignored. Physicist Bob Park reports, for example, that he suggested to Jahn two types of experiments that would have bypassed the main criticisms aimed at PEAR. Why not do a double-blind experiment? asked Park. Have a second RNG determine the task of the operator and do not let this determination be known to the one recording the results. This could have eliminated the charge of experimenter bias. Another experiment, however, could have eliminated most criticism. Park suggested that PEAR have operators try to use their minds to move a ;quot;state-of-the-art microbalance;quot; (Park 2008, 138-139). A microbalance can make precise measurements on the order of a millionth of a gram. One doesn&#039;t need to be clairvoyant to figure out why this suggestion was never heeded.

Carl Edward Sagan, Ph.D. (1934-1996) was an American astronomer, astrochemist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series &quot;Cosmos: A Personal Voyage&quot;, which has been seen by more than 600 million people in over 60 countries, making it the most widely watched PBS program in history.

A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel &quot;Contact&quot;, the basis for the 1997 Robert Zemecki&#039;s film of the same name starring Jodie Foster.

During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he frequently advocated skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method.
