I believe on 'falsifiability' as I believe on Occam's Razor. <br /><br />Everything that I put forth is both 'falsifiable' as well as 'naturally simple'. You will not find in any of my explanations the supernatural or the superhuman. And I am always open to engage with others in an earnest and honest conversation.<br /><br />KostasConstantinos Ragazashttp://knol.google.com/k/constantinos-ragazas/the-un-henging-of-stonehenge/ql47o1qdr604/16#noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-33939143871731177452011-04-26T18:49:58.881+01:002011-04-26T18:49:58.881+01:00Quite agree, Tony.

It's very seductive, and especially dangerous when the pseudo-science practitioner trots out loads of wonderful mathematics and astronomical calculations which cannot be instantly challenged or seriously questioned -- and so tend to leave people in awe and wonderment!<br /><br />Robin markets his books quite aggressively (well, like the rest of us he has to make a living) -- but I have crossed swards with him on many occasions!BRIAN JOHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413447032454568083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228690739485734684.post-43911380913272387522011-04-26T18:22:49.501+01:002011-04-26T18:22:49.501+01:00Your reproduction of Robin Heath & John Michel...Your reproduction of Robin Heath & John Michell's map from "The Measure Of Albion", showing their rectangle connecting Stonehenge, Lundy Island, Caldey Island and the Preselis, reminds me how seductive pseudo-science can be. I came across this book in a public library by serendipity and could't put it down for quite a while. It appeals to the individual's psychological desire for a lost collective wisdom, a lost Understanding, in a similar way as astrology does to some people, including members of my wider family.Tony Hinchliffenoreply@blogger.com
