 The UnMuseum - Rocks that Fell from the Sky
Not only does it accept the existence of meteorites, it embraces it: Major scientific theories, from the cataclysmic end of the dinosaurs to the possibility of life on Mars, turn on the existence of meteorites.
Science and the scientific method began to develop around the seventeenth century.
Science learned to accept the idea that stones- sometimes big stones - could fall from space and the notion of thunderstones was relegated to the trash can of folklore.

 Science and Human Values - Copernicus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
With the thinking of an age so permeated by the concept of organism, science could hardly be expected to strike out on a new path overnight.
Late medieval science was characterized by trends of thought existing side by side - one affirming without reservation the concept of organism, the other trying to find new ways, while continually falling back unawares on the heritage of organismic concepts.
With Copernicus began the Scientific Revolution, which was to dethrone Greek science and set man on a new and far more fruitful path.

 hegel.net - Hegel FAQ (most frequent asked questions)
German nationalism began flourishing after 1807, as a consequence of Prussia's humiliating defeat by Napoleon's army and of the occupation of most of the former German Empire by French troops.
The development of a criticism of Metaphysics in this latter sense is to be found, firstly, in Galileo, when he contends that science must base itself on free observation and not on the excessive reliance on "authorities".
Therefore, if Hegel is to be considered a "Metaphysician", he is one in a limited Kantian sense; his philosophy is the heir of ancient Metaphysics, but it is no longer a form of naive reliance on undemonstrated categories: rather the opposite.

 #535 (02/27/97): The Alar Rebellion of 1989   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The chemical industry, the scientific establishment (particularly the American Association for the Advancement of Science) and the transitory (elected) government all unleashed full-scale attacks on NRDC, the environmental group that wrote the report on Alar, and on CBS, which publicized the report, but most of all on the "hysterical" public which had stopped buying apples.
Cronkite himself said of the documentary, "It was meant to be propaganda."[8] The American Association for the Advancement of Science likewise began a propaganda campaign to discredit the public's action against Alar.
The Alar Rebellion showed that science (and SCIENCE) in the late 20th century can be turned into effective propaganda tools when the powers-that-be feel threatened by the public taking action to curb corporate poisonings.

 Existential Primer: Georg W. F. Hegel
Hegel remained in Jena and struggled until 1807, when he was finally offered a salary by the university.
Hegel was influenced by the increased popularity of science during his lifetime, as reflected by the language he used to describe his theories.
More a science text than a traditional philosophy text, Hegel uses this work to present current scientific knowledge in a modified philosophical context.

 MBARI News - Undersea data network planned for Monterey Bay
MOSS LANDING, California—Computer networks and power grids are common enough on land, but over the next three years a team of oceanographers will be extending such networks thousands of feet beneath the sea.
When complete, the MARS network will be able to support a variety of "plug-and-play" research devices, and will be expandable, with additional devices on side cables up to 100 km from the main cable.
The first stage of the network will consist of 62 km (39.5 miles) of submarine cable and a single science node located 1,200 meters (almost 4,000 feet) below the ocean surface.

 Georg W.F. Hegel + Confucius
Hegel's most important writings are Phenomenology of Mind (Phänomenologie des Geistes, 1807), The Science of Logic (Wissenschaft der Logik, 1816), an Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences (1817), The Philosophy of Right (1821).
The one thing that exists, Hegel said in his Science of Logic, is Spirit or the Absolute Mind, which is in a state of eternal development: an unfolding of reality in terms of thesis — antithesis — synthesis.
While working out a rebuttal of epistemology, Hegel posited a development of consciousness from individual sensation through social concern with ethics and politics to the pure consciousness of the World-Spirit (Welt-Geist) in art, religion, and philosophy.

 Rachel #535: The Alar Rebellion of 1989
Their editorials have titles like, "Scare of the Week," "The Great Overcoat Scare," and "Toxic Terror; Phantom 1890Risks."[9] People who know the work of Abelson and Koshland know them as Libertarian extremists and take their editorial rants with a guffaw of astonished disbelief.
In sum, SCIENCE printed a pack of lies about Alar, but they appeared under the imprimatur of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, so reporter after reporter has told and retold these lies until they have become "the truth" in the national consciousness.
The mass media--dominated by fewer than 25 huge corporations--are easily (even willingly) misled by a chorus of old, white men in lab coats chanting, "Alar is completely safe, the people are hysterical.
