  • Pseudoscience and Science Fiction Science and Fiction
    Andrew May Pseudoscience and Science Fiction Science and Fiction Editorial Board Mark Alpert Philip Ball Gregory Benford Michael Brotherton Victor Callaghan Amnon H Eden Nick Kanas Geoffrey Landis Rudi Rucker Dirk Schulze-Makuch Ru€diger Vaas Ulrich Walter Stephen Webb Science and Fiction – A Springer Series This collection of entertaining and thought-provoking books will appeal equally to science buffs, scientists and science-fiction fans. It was born out of the recognition that scientific discovery and the creation of plausible fictional scenarios are often two sides of the same coin. Each relies on an understanding of the way the world works, coupled with the imaginative ability to invent new or alternative explanations—and even other worlds. Authored by practicing scientists as well as writers of hard science fiction, these books explore and exploit the borderlands between accepted science and its fictional counterpart. Uncovering mutual influences, promoting fruitful interaction, narrating and analyzing fictional scenarios, together they serve as a reaction vessel for inspired new ideas in science, technology, and beyond. Whether fiction, fact, or forever undecidable: the Springer Series “Science and Fiction” intends to go where no one has gone before! Its largely non-technical books take several different approaches. Journey with their authors as they • Indulge in science speculation—describing intriguing, plausible yet unproven ideas; • Exploit science fiction for educational purposes and as a means of promoting critical thinking; • Explore the interplay of science and science fiction—throughout the history of the genre and looking ahead; • Delve into related topics including, but not limited to: science as a creative process, the limits of science, interplay of literature and knowledge; • Tell fictional short stories built around well-defined scientific ideas, with a supplement summarizing the science underlying the plot.

  • Alchemy, the Ancient Science
    Alchemy, the Ancient Science by Neil Powell For centuries a number of men of science and Alchemy, learning spent their lives in the practice of the Ancient alchemy, searching for a way to change ordinary metals into gold. Why did they try? Science Did any of them succeed? We know that alchemists today continue the old tradition and the age-old quest. Will they succeed? Contents 1 The Meaning of Alchemy The basic ideas and processes of the traditional alchemists. 2 The Principles of Alchemy 24 The theoretical background to the work that the alchemists carried out. 3 Two Mysterious Frenchmen 40 Flamel, a medieval alchemist, and Fulcanelli, a modern writer on alchemy. 4 The Medieval Masters 54 Mysterious figures, half-veiled in legend, of alchemy's great period. 5 The Wandering Alchemists 80 The masters who traveled from city to city contacting other adepts. 6 What Happened to Alchemy? 96 The changes that occurred in alchemy as the infant sciences developed. 7 Sex and Symbolism 118 The course of Eastern alchemy, and how it influenced alchemy in the West. 8 Alchemy Lives On 130 The practice of alchemy in the 20th century. The Meaning of Alchemy It is late at night. In a room hidden away Absorbed in the long labor of a dual search—for the secret that from prying eyes, an old man bends over a will enable him to transmute base flask of bubbling colored liquid. All around metal into gold and to achieve spiritual perfection—the alchemist is a clutter of jars, bottles, and apparatus pursued his involved experiments, laying the foundations for the that looks somewhat like the equipment in a science, then still unborn, that modern school chemistry laboratory.

Précautions de rigueur Nous allons violer un tabou. Nous allons parler d'intellec- tuels. Comme nous parlerions de marins-pêcheurs ou de coureurs cyclistes : sans désinvolture et sans courbettes, avec le souci de l'information exacte, avec derrière nous une enquête patiente. Nous n'allons pas parler des purs producteurs d'idées, mais de cette catégorie d'intellectuels qu'on nomme, faute de terme français adéquat, l'intelligentsia. C'est-à-dire le milieu étroit, fermé et puissant des hommes et des femmes qui occupent les carrefours stratégiques; ils sont les « agents de la circulation » entre l'Université où ils pèsent, l'édition qu'ils orientent, et les médias qu'ils investissent. Reconnus par leurs pairs, ils ont réussi à briser le cercle de leur spécialité et à opérer la jonction avec le grand public. Ce sont les « intellocrates ». Ce livre n'est pas un essai mais un reportage. Une promenade fureteuse, une expédition par moments acrobatique. Nous ne nous sommes pas contentés de dépouiller des textes, nous nous sommes portés vers nos personnages, nous les avons saisis en chaire et à table, chez eux et dans la rue.

Prehistoric Times To tell the story of chemistry, it is best to start in prehistoric times with primitive humans. In his quest for survival, and endowed with a natural curiosity, primitive man learned much about his environment. He was aware of physical properties of substances such as color, shape or form, hardness, taste, weight, density in the form of relative weight, and odor. And he was most probably aware of natural physical changes such as water to ice (and vice versa), lava to rock, certain rocks to dust, etc. It is also safe to assume that primitive man, although he had no knowledge of chemistry, was aware of chemical change in the forms of decaying organic matter, natural production of ozone from lightning (by noting the odor of the ozone), wood burning into charcoal and ash, etc. But primitive man was by no means any sort of scientist and he made no logical or organized study of natural phenomena. The information he gathered about the world was passed from generation to generation by memory, demonstration, or by observation without explanation or any understanding of the true reasons for these phenomena.

That the PFN and FANE serve as shock troops for the New Right is not denied by Alain de Benoist, who otherwise claims his objective is to take over France from a cultural standpoint.On the contrary, de Benoist has asserted that "it is perfectly clear that movements of ideas in society will one day have effects which touch upon the political sphere." De Benoist admits that he has also gotten involved in Terrorism and the leftistcauses, such as signing petitions in favor of the "Larzac autonomists." 'New Right' in France Marco Affatigato had told a Genoese newspaper in May 1980 that his extreme-right organizations had carried out "joint demonstrative actions" with the leftist Italian Red Bri­ by Dana Sloan gades. And he affirmed that in the case of the kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, The indictment of Frenchman Olivier Danet by the Italian "the action was carried out but not organized by the Red magistrates investigating the 1980 Bologna train-station Brigades ....T he act of murder was a joint one. The kid­ bombing has focused attention--only some of it official--on napping was carried out thanks to secret financing. He was the connection between terrorist killers and the so-called New executed by the Red Brigades, but it was not organized by Right in Europe, which is ostensibly concerned with abstrac­ them."
