Psyche and Eros The Story of Psyche and Eros Dr. C. George Boeree The so-called psyche or butterfly is generated from caterpillars which grow on green leaves, chiefly leaves of theraphanus, which some call crambe or cabbage. Psyche was one of three sisters, princesses in a Grecian kingdom. Always obedient, Eros flew down to earth with two vials of potions. Sure enough, Psyche, although still beautiful, could find no husband. Surrendering to the inevitable, she headed for the mountain. After some time, she grew lonely for her family, and she asked to be allowed to have her sisters for a visit. Her sisters convinced her this was best, so the next time her husband came to visit her, she had a lamp and a knife ready. When she awoke, the palace had disappeared, and she found herself in a field near her old home. The first was a matter of sorting a huge pile of mixed grains into separate piles. Psyche's next task was to go into hell to ask Persephone, wife of Hades, for a box of magic makeup.

The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. Why the huge differences in periods?

The Nobel Prize-Winning Discovery that Got a Scientist Kicked Out of His Own Lab A dogmatic theologian? Actually, they're both horrible. At least dogmatic theologists, notwithstanding their other faults, are not hypocrites. That's assumed. That was the correlation I was making. Yep. "Despite its pretensions to objectivity, science, like any other human institution, places a certain vested interest in its own self-preservation. One of the chief resistances to this progressive penetration of understanding is the dogmatic tendency to adhere to orthodox modes of assigned pattern when confronted with novel details that call for a reordering of understanding. For science this intuitive speculation consists in its assumption of the knowability of the world - in its belief that every event can be correlated with its antecedents in a definite manner exemplifying general principles.
