jamesgunasekera Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Please read my article: the original HTML: http://james.freehoster.co.cc/is.html if you prefer PDF: http://vixra.org/pdf/0910.0003v1.pdf I will listen carefully to all your comments. Abstract: Some inexplicable statistical variations in Nobel Prize laureates natal data are reported and discussed, plus additional data is considered afterwards. If observed on other similar data, e.g. National Medal of Science laureates, the effect can be considered as astroanthropological. The observed strong correlation with Quaoar position is probably caused by the fact that Quaoar's cycle correlates with a non-trivial solar, lunar or terrestrial cycle. It is well known that some space weather conditions influence human health, but the possibility of influence on long-term physiological and/or psychological characteristics since birth is still under question. Comments: All databases and the source code are included. There is no conclusion, sorry, and no physical explanation. I understand that the majority of physicists and astronomers will say that these data don't make sense and therefore can't be valid. I will listen carefully to all your comments.

JillSwift Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I don't see any control groups. I think this "study" is a victim of some serious confirmation bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Tripolation Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Humans see patterns where none exist, friend We can make the data support our hypothesis, if we try hard enough. That's why I can go outside and see an anthropomorphic shape in the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D H Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I knew from your first post, James, that you had a hidden, and most likely crackpot, agenda. Nonsense moved to Speculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesgunasekera Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I believe that deviation is high because of a fortuity and/or artefacts unknown to the author. Perhaps this "study" will help to better understand the reasons of astrological and similar beliefs, and to prevent circulation of such anti-scientific beliefs in future. "I don't see any control groups" - there are millions control groups, and you can increase this number if you manage to compile the C source code. Also, please see the bottom of appendix 2 in the HTML file. Did anyone here try to read the article after reading the abstract? -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
