This page contains many links that I have found interesting. They are not all sympathetic to my views, nor do I necessarily agree with everything on all of them. Many of them are excellent - and I do agree with the ideas expressed in most of them. I have tried to group them roughly by topic. As time goes on, I will add more topics and more links. The web is a living thing and, as such, links occasionally die. I will try and remove inactive links as best I can - I am aware of the problem. Some of my favorites are marked with an asterisk. Enjoy.
Videos
There are several worthwhile videos available for viewing on the You Tube web site. Only some of these videos are excellent - many are not. I suggest the nine part series originally called the Cosmology Quest:
Part 1 Geoffrey Burbidge, Halton Arp
Part 4 M. Burbidge, Jack Sulentic
Part 9, Lerner, Peratt, et. al.

from Hannes Alfvén
“Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory. In many instances, such parochialism is founded on the fear that intrusion from other disciplines would compete unfairly for limited financial resources and thus diminish their own opportunity for research.” -
“The peer review system is satisfactory during quiescent times, but not during a revolution in a discipline such as astrophysics, when the establishment seeks to preserve the status quo.”
"Students using astrophysical textbooks remain essentially ignorant of even the existence of plasma concepts, despite the fact that some of them have been known for half a century. The conclusion is that astrophysics is too important to be left in the hands of astrophysicists who have gotten their main knowledge from these textbooks."
