Updated   4 June 2004 Introduction………..                 Well Folks I’m Back by popular demand.  About a year ago I shut this website down do to the fact that my work had been copied and claimed by others.  One such incident I found on a prominent website.   I have decided that I would rebuild this web site with much a few changes.  Being since my book is so close to coming out I shall only  put parts of my research on line other than the entire manuscript. Thank you for visiting Aaron Stiles Coming Soon……………. Ghost – A scientific look into the creation of Ghost     “NEW” What could be the beginning of a “Unified Theory of the Universe”        “NEW” Time”   A different point of view on what Time is and how it effect the Universe    “Updated” An “Advanced Theory of Evolution”   Religion, A scientific and physiological look into its creation and prominence        “Updated” We must always remember that science is the search for answers to the unknown, our ideas of the world change every day,  We, as a human race should not shy away or grow fearful of those things that we do not understand.  We must also learn to better judge fact from fiction, and fiction from scientific possibility, irregardless of how improbable.  Faith can only take you so far, let the facts guide you through the rest of your journey. Rebuilding this site will take a little time, but it shall also be better than ever too.  If you have comments or questions fill free to e-mail.  If you are a Professional and would like to discuss some of my idea’s you may also E-mail me or contact me directly.

127. THE 1920 SHAPLEY-CURTIS DISCUSSION BACKGROUND, ISSUES, AND OUTCOME
Shapley and Curtis disagreed to some extent on at least 14 astronomical issues. Man Discovers the Galaxies (NY Science history Publications)
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/diamond_jubilee/papers/trimble.html
THE 1920 SHAPLEY-CURTIS DISCUSSION: BACKGROUND, ISSUES, AND OUTCOME Virginia Trimble Physics Department and Astronomy Department University of California University of Maryland Irvine CA 92717 College Park MD 20742 Prepared for the 1995 75th Anniversary Astronomical Debate and for publication in Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific ABSTRACT 1. INTRODUCTION The suggestion came originally from George Ellery Hale, whose father had endowed a lecture series for the National Academy of Sciences. After some initial hesitation, the NAS Home Secretary, C.G. Abbot, agreed that the 1920 William Ellery Hale lectures would be a discussion on "The Distance Scale of the Universe," with Harlow Shapley of Mt. Wilson Solar Observatory and Heber Doust Curtis of Lick Observatory as the discussants. Both the published versions of their presentations (Curtis 1921, Shapley 1921) and the notes from which they spoke (Hoskin 1976) are now available, as is a good deal of information on the lead-up to what much later came to be called "the great debate" and on its scientific aftermath. We first examine the cultural and scientific environments in which the 1920 event occurred, then the event and its participants, ending with an examination of the scientific issues as then perceived and as now understood. It is not clear whether any very useful lessons for the case of gamma ray bursters can be drawn. As is frequently (but not always!) the case in scientific disputes, Shapley and Curtis each had hold of portions of the correct elephant.

Impact: 65 Million Years Ago
Credit:
courtesy V.L. Sharpton, LPI Explanation: What killed the dinosaurs? Their sudden disappearance 65 million years ago, along with about 70 percent of all species then living on Earth, is known as the K-T event (Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction event). Geologists and paleontologists often entertain the idea that a large asteroid or comet impacting the Earth was the culprit. In such a cosmic catastrophe, the good(!) news would be that the impact would generate firestorms, tidal waves, earthquakes, and hurricane winds. As for the bad news ... debris thrown into the atmosphere would have a serious global environmental consequences, creating extended periods of darkness, low temperatures, and acid rains - resulting in a planet-wide extinction event. In 1990, dramatic support for this theory came from cosmochemist Alan Hildebrand's revelation of a 65 million year old, 112 mile wide ring structure
