Document Summary
Yes: cosmology says earth & everything on it is highly developed stardust matter. Everything that happens on earth is powered by the sun, either directly through solar power or indirectly through stored solar power (coal, gas, oil). Deep space & heavenly bodies: cosmic rays - flow of neurons from cosmic rays may affect schizophrenics. High proportion of introverts were born when saturn had just risen or just passed overhead, & extraverts were more likely to be born when mars or jupiter had just risen or passed overhead. The belief that the moon influences strange behaviour goes back to at least 400bc & has had prominent supporters through the centuries. Type i error: occurs when a researcher accepts a significant result as true when actually it is untrue. File-drawer problem: 19 null results, which tend to get filed away, so that the scientific world is unaware that. 20 tests were conducted, not just the one that was published.
