Science and Math Defeated Glossary of Technical Terminology

I think this is quite wise, if not impossible. Sometimes I use terms that are idiosyncratic and/or have been explained in previous posts. However, the document will also constitute its own special resource. Where helpful, I have added example sentences that in some way illustrate the meaning of the word. There is a dash of humor throughout, in order to keep the technical stuff more lively.

This was the last ever letter written by Mary Queen of Scots on the morning of her execution and martyrdom

Scottish Government, Alex Salmond-Rome-Mary Queen of Scots

by Frank Dougan

One of the most historic letters in Scottish History; August 2011...

Letter from The First Minister, Alex Salmond....regarding my trip to Rome on 4 October 2011....in my quest for the canonisation of Mary Queen of Scots.

The first Minister acknowledging the unity of friendship between the Roman Catholic Church and the various diverse religions in Scotland.

Mr. Salmond is the first leader of the Scottish Government and the English Government....to share the same sentiments that Mary Queen of Scots issued in 1561....when she had just returned to Scotland from France where she had been to Queen aged 19 years old.

She was asked the question by John Knox...'What religion will you persue'?

The Reformation had been enforced at this time and The Roman Catholic Faith had been destroyed in Scotland.

Mary calmly replied; ' I will keep my Holy Roman Catholic Faith...and everyone in Scotland can enjoy any faith they wish'!

450 years later The Right Honourable, Alex Salmond....Leader of The Scottish Government, The First Minister.....sent me this historic letter in his support for my quest for the canonisation as a Catholic martyr for Marie Stuart, Mary Queen of Scots....

Cualquier historia o teoría del tiempo, por compleja que sea, ha de volverse más complicada una vez se tiene en cuenta el papel de las descripciones, modelos y teorías en tanto que instrumentos cognitivos históricamente situados. El lenguaje intencionalista de Hawking a la hora de describir el "diseño cósmico" también se somete a crítica.

___________

This is a review and commentary of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", summarizing some of the book's main tenets and evaluating them from the standpoint of a philosophy of time (both cosmic and human) informed by narrative theory and by evolutionary philosophy. Any account of time, however complex, is futher complicated once the role of descriptions as historically situated cognitive instruments is taken into account. Hawking's intentionalist discourse as regards cosmic design is also criticized.
