Science and Astrology

This video is for the intelligent and courteous criticism, debate, and discussion of astrology.
Posts which are off topic, insult, mock, denigrate, issue challenges, personal attacks, etc. will be removed and/or blocked.
For those who feel compelled to insult, attack, deride, etc., you can post at my video entitled "Feebles Foibles" or "The Skeptical Astrologer".

"But what ... is it good for?" -Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip.

"The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" -David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urgings for investment in the radio in the 1920s.

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." -Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895.

"If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can't do this." -Spencer Silver on the work that led to the unique adhesives for 3M "Post-It" notepads.

"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools." -1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy." -Drillers who Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his project to drill for oil in 1859.

"Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." -Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929.

"Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction". -Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse, 1872

The Problem with the so called "contest" between Science and astrology is misguided.
What the pseudo-scientists are calling for, is for astrologers to prove to their satisfaction that what
they themselves have ill-conceived as astrology, be proven to them by using their paradigm.
Like asking an artist to fix a mechanical problem in an automobile with his pencils and brushes, or going to a football game and expecting your team to make a home run.

"It's been said that the truth goes through three stages. First it's ridiculed. Then it's violently opposed. Then it's accepted as self-evident." -Arthur Schopenhauer

@andromr1969 oh

[chadow7231]

hi @VenusAsABoyFilms thanks

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

Wow, you did a great job defending astrology. You rock.

[chadow7231]

Respond to this video... continued: I am happy that you can duplicate earth's causal seasonal activity with heat lamps and strips of sheet metal. . . quite a feat in my world! And, you are correct, you cannot simulate the electro-magnetic field that the solar system performs with your lamps and metalic strips. I have no idea why you refer to the planets as "psychic rocks," planetary activity has a rhythm and recurring cycles that are easily observed.

[chadow7231]

hi @TAPriceCTR well, I guess you told me !!! However, what you are stating is only partially accurate - and only describes, as far as the modern-day astrologer proponents go, the current suppositions that all astrologers are alike. Assemble 10 different Traditional Astrologers and you will receive the same answer to any question or situation accurately and succinctly. What you are stating above is your lack of understanding about the actual situation concerning astrology's practitioners.

[TAPriceCTR]

@chadow7231 you can say it will read the same regardless of who or what reads the stars but that is pattently false. give the same information to 10 different astrologers and you get 10 different results.

there is a measured, calculable, verifiable, scientific causality to how the angle of the earth relative to the location of the sun to determines the seasons. I can simulate the effect with a heat lamp and a piece of sheet metal. you can not simulate how these psychic rocks impose their will.

[chadow7231]

@chadow7231 Well, I guess you have never seen anyone dance to any music, , , that is a form of control.



[chadow7231]

continued: Although the stars do not change, the planets (of which we are more interested) do change and have various significance by the nature of their position as the Sun determines the seasonal changes in the upper and lower latitudes on this planet.

hi @TAPriceCTR I think the word "however" is an abstract in its own right. As a musician who also taught music, I cannot agree on your premise. I can say the same about an astrology chart - it "will read the same whether an amateur, professional, or computer is reading it."

[TAPriceCTR]

@chadow7231

however the musical score will read the same whether an amateur, profesional, or computer is reading it. with astrology the stars do not change, but the alleged significance does.

[chadow7231]

Hi @TAPriceCTR and no one's life is "controlled" by Astrology. Like music, only people trained to recognize the language of the li'l dots on paper can make it "work."
