Gauguelin revisited 1 by damon http://pierre.perradin.pagesperso-orange.fr/ Interesting study on Gauguelin data. http://www.astrozero.co.uk/astroscience/koll1ge.pdf Asked whether Gauquelin had excluded any category of sport, Ertel replied in the negative, but added: ?I have always been amazed that Gauquelin took every sports category that he found in his two main reference books (sports champions are categorized there). Gauquelin found differences among sports regarding the Mars effect, for example basket-ball did not have much of an excess of Mars-born players. So he advised Paul Kurtz to avoid selecting basket-ball players in the USA because he reckoned they were not likely to have a Mars effect: the result of Gauquelin's suggestion was that Kurtz selected a large proportion of basket ball players!? 34 Arno Muller, ?Last sich der Gauquelin-Effekt bestatigen?? Zeitschrift fur Parapsychologie 1986, 28, 87-103. NB this concluded (in English): ?Where G?s data had to be corrected, this left the significance of his results unaffected?there exists, in my opinion, no solid reason that G?s findings should not be acknowledged as objective ones.? Thus Muller has independently validated an earlier MG data-collection. 35 JSE volumes 12 onwards are web-available, which includes the last two of the list above-cited. 36 Debate on the subject has also seethed in The Humanist, Leonardo, Skepsis (Holland), Astrologie in Onderzoek (Holland), Science et Vie, Psychology Today, Zeitschrift fur Parapsychologie and The Zetetic Scholar. 37 Eg, the final sentence of Benski?s book The ?Mars Effect? (ref 14, p.145) is by Nienhuys, averring scornfully that ?Ertel?s post-hoc analyses are rather like tea-leaf readings?? 38 http://www.planetos.info/, by Patrice Guinard at CURA (linked to ref. 1 Quote Sun Nov 18, 2012 3:17 pm
