Pariah Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm a little surprised this hasn't been a thing before now. I think a huge part of the successes of both the Harry Potter and Marvel franchises has been the brilliant casting. Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 A book review in Nature ... for something Bazza might find interesting. (I do, and since I read the reivew in the last 5 minutes, I haven't chased down the book yet.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Finished reading it. Mixed response. On one hand it is nonsense, and on the other hand it is a worthwhile exploration of a topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted August 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 5 Of The Most Influential Catholic Scientists You Didn’t Know https://www.coraevans.com/blog/article/5-influential-catholic-scientists-you-didnt-know Roger Bacon (1219-1294), Fr. Roger Boscovich, S.J. (1711-1787), Fr. Georges Lemaitre, S.J. (1894-1966), Dr. Thomas Hilgers, Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J. (b. 1952). Of the five above, I know 3. I have a book by Spitzer similar to the book mentioned in the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Angelo Secchi SJ (mid-to-late 19th C) was one of the two founding titans of my own scientific discipline, stellar spectroscopy (the other was the British William Huggins in the same era). Secchi discovered carbon stars, more or less invented spectral classification, and initiated a huge segment of astrophysics. He did other things in astronomy and other sciences (see e.g. the "Secchi disk") and was Director of the Vatican Observatory when the Italian Republic got started, and more or less single-handedly kept the observatory as part of the Vatican, rather than being absorbed into the Republic.

L. Marcus Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Yah, FB locked my account down when I apparently logged in from Ho Chi Mihn City ... It's been restored now. Nothing crazy had time to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
