That particular work has been something of a muse for me over the past couple of years. The universe as an optically active system can offer a number of avenues for correlation - some of which are interesting, some of which are VERY risky. Some of the wild tangents it offers, in stream of consciousness format:
The universe as a chiral optically active lattice. HMMMMM! Shades of Nikolai Kozyrev - time as a physical entity with chirality! I still have not suitably explained some of the milligram weight transients I used to see with vibrated or agitated chiral masses. A chiral universe would have an optical axis. Actually, I have been told that from an earth based observer, the axis would appear to extend from Sextans to Cygnus (or was that Aquila?) Anyway, if you point at the constellation Sextans, you are close to one end of it. Which is near Leo. Optical axis - the true Axis Mundi? Some of the research by Spottiswoode et al said that levels of psi in test subjects increased during a particular period of the sidereal day, which I've since found also corresponds to Leo / Sextans being overhead. Something flowing through the earth and living systems on it from that axis? A chiral universe would be one that might offer some added incentive to take Uncle Al up on his dare: http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm And if there had ever been anything to those gyroscopic weight anisotropies, it might offer a new path of consideration for modelling. But alas - if my understanding of the cosmic chirality is correct... the universe is a sinister place. :) nr --- thomas malloy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Vortexians; > > I'm wondering if I understand the author's thesis. > Light propagated > at directions other than on a certain axis rotates > in a certain > direction, depending on the amount of deviation from > that axis. > > http://www.cc.rochester.edu/College/RTC/Borge/aniso.html > > > --- http://USFamily.Net/dialup.html - $8.25/mo! -- > http://www.usfamily.net/dsl.html - $19.99/mo! --- > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
