  Maurice Allais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maurice Allais (born May 31, 1911) was the 1988 winner of The Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for his pioneering contributions to the theory of markets and efficient utilization of resources.
The Allais effect first reported in 1954 was the result of anomalous readings of a paraconical pendulum during two separate eclipse events.
More recently Dr. Allais performed a statistical analysis of the thousands of interferometer measurements of Dayton Miller and found a corresponding periodicity with the sidereal day, the equinoxes and other celestial events thus invalidating the Robert S. Shankland rufutation of Miller's work.

Maurice Allais, 77, said he had all but given up hope of earning the prize for a skein of work he began publishing during the Nazi occupation.
In it, Allais argued against the hypothesis of "expected utility," and backed up his thesis with a series of questionnaires designed to illuminate consumers' choices under circumstances of risk and uncertainty.
Indeed, when Allais experimented with a roomful of top-flight theoretical economists at a celebrated meeting in France in 1952, Arrow recalled, the answers given suggested the scholars wouldn't behave according to their own axioms when confronted with the certainty of short-term gain against the possibility of long-term windfalls.

An independent-minded French economist, Maurice Allais strove to carry the message of the original Lausanne School of Leon Walras and Vilfredo Pareto into the modern era, through what we have called the Paretian Revolution of the 1930s.
Maurice Allais wrote two major treatises in the 1940s, Á la Recherche d'une discipline économique (1943, reprinted 1952) and Economique et interet (1947) whose inspiration was to a great part derived 'from meditation upon the works of Leon Walras, Irving Fisher and especially Vilfredo Pareto, three great masters who deeply influenced me' (Allais, 1992).
The contribution Allais is generally best known for in the Anglo-Saxon world is the Allais Paradox in the theory of choice under uncertainty - which he presented in a series of papers in 1953.

Nonetheless, despite the numerous setbacks during his professional career, Maurice Allais was vindicated by being made an officer of the Legion of Honor in 1977 and a richly- deserved Nobel Memorial prize in 1988.

 THE ALLAIS ECLIPSE EFFECT AND THE SOLAR ECLIPSES OF THE NEXT TEN YEARS
Allais later shifted his personal emphasis from the field of physics to economic theory, and in 1988 he was awarded the Nobel prize in economics.
It might well be the case that the Allais Eclipse Effect does not manifest itself at every location during a solar eclipse, or indeed during every solar eclipse; various types of special condition (upon the geometry of the eclipse and upon the position of the observer, for example) might be prerequisites.
In 1954 the observer (Allais in Paris) was between these two notional scissor blades around the time of their closest mutual approach, whereas in 1959 he was not.

In his Nobel Prize autobiographical speech, Allais stated, "My main idea at the start was that a link could be established between magnetism and gravitation by observing the movements of a pendulum consisting of a glass ball oscillating in a magnetic field.

Maurice Allais, Nobel Prize for Economy, suggested lately a new reflection on communal capitalism, in the light of the present globalization of economy and the enormous development of telematics.
Allais in the first place points out the impossibility of a progress in the world economy just by making use of the private financial institutions (banks, savings banks and insurance companies).
Allais suggests that all those having bank accounts decide on a contractual basis the percentage that they freely leave for the banks to manage following the laws of private capitalism.

I recently became interested in Maurice Allais, the Nobel Prize Winner for Economics in 1988 who was also devoted to the study of physics.
Allais' re-examination of the Miller data (which I believe inspired the other thread) is every bit as interesting as his own pendulum experiments.
One thing that bugs me about the Allais group is they want to have a lot of attention to Allais' work, but they hesitate to delve into the actual mechanism of gravity.

Maurice Allais is mainly known after his pendulum experiments, but he also experimented with optical sightings, and a small part of his 1997 book (l'anisotropie de l'espace Ed Clément Juglar Paris 1997) is devoted to those experiments.
Esclangon said there was a sidereal periodicity in his vertical differences, Allais said his horizontal north to south and south to north sightings had 24h and nearly 25h periods.
Today, with some adequate tecnical skills and affordable hardware, it is easy to set up a fully automated experiment where the deviations of a light beam are recorded continuously for months.

 Anti Relativity : Dayton Miller gets thousands of positive MMX results
Maurice Allais, a physicist and Nobel Prize winning economist, as well as the man for whom the Allais Effect is named.
When Allais was able to get enough of Dayton Miller's work from the hands of Shankland, who still possesses much of the material, he was able to determine by statistical analysis that Miller's recorded data coincided exactly with the Earth's orbit.
These new findings by Allais prove, beyond doubt, that very real non-null readings came from the Miller experiments and thereby invalidate the second postulate of special relativity.

As a low-friction projectile subject to inertia and gravity as it moves through space, a pendulum is sometimes compared in its motion to an artificial satellite - and thus a unique laboratory probe of the properties of space itself.
