More From Linus Pauling

That we can now think of no mechanism for astrology is relevant but unconvincing. no mechanism was known, for example, for continental drift when it was proposed by wegener. nevertheless, we see that wegener was right, and those who objected on the grounds of unavailable mechanism were wrong.
Thinking Astrology Example

The anti-vivisector does not deny that physiologists must make experiments and even take chances with new methods. he says that they must not seek knowledge by criminal methods, just as they must not make money by criminal methods. he does not object to galileo dropping cannon balls from the top of the leaning tower of pisa; but he would object to shoving off two dogs or american tourists.
