On Anthony Marr's
Omniscientific Cosmology
it is written:
University of California, Berkeley
Biology, Professor Richard W. Holms: �I have listened to a presentation
by Anthony S. Marr. His synthesis of ideas from a remarkably broad
perspective of sciences truly deserves the name OMNI-SCIENCE. His
presentation was precise and clear, and I believe he would be an effective
speaker for groups at varying levels of expertise�This is a person of great
depth who speaks and writes both with confidence and ease. I am happy to
recommend him as a speaker and a writer..�
Astronomy and Physics, Professor Marc Davis: �As one who actually
specializes in cosmology as a research endeavour, I was at first very
skeptical that Mr. Marr would be yet another crackpot of the type that seems
to congregate in this field. However, after only a few minutes of listening
to his explanation of his viewpoint, my fears were allayed�His ultimate goal
appears to be to provide a forward-looking moral framework for progress in
human social evolution, one that is consistent with empirical science and
which is not based on historical writings�and important contribution to
society..�
Anthropology, Professor Tim White: �I have not seen a draft of the book,
but I can say that after spending a few hours with Mr. Marr, I am very much
looking forward to reading it�.Mr. Marr is an exceedingly unique individual.
I have never crossed paths with such a person. He is very serious, very
dedicated, and very polished in his presentation�The care with which he his
proceeded is commendable�his synthesis is formidable..�
Paleontology, Professor Carole S. Hickman: �(Anthony Marr�s work)
deserves the attention of serious scholars�an extraordinary intellectual
undertaking�a unique framework�both intellectually and aesthetically
stimulating�a bold and eclectic piece of scholarship that is, above all,
refreshingly honest�.His clarity of expression is exceptional. His logical
consistency is a delight. The aesthetic quality of the model, in particular
his attention to symmetry, provides a dimension that is appealing but sadly
lacking in much of Western thought and tradition. The optimism, concern and
compassion for humanity that are expressed in the application of the model
to human behavior likewise commands attention..�
Zoology, Professor Richard C. Strohman: �His views and thinking are quite
original�a thoroughly logical system�might indeed fill a large gap in the
way we think about evolutionary connections between ourselves and our world.
I sincerely encourage you to listen to Mr. Marr. And I have one suggestion.
His presentation is quite detailed and covers very large areas. My thought
is that he and his listeners would all do much better in a small seminar
setting so that there would be a symmetry between his own very wide
knowledge and the ability for him to obtain meaningful feedback..�
Botany, Professor Herbert G. Baker: ��an extremely interesting
experience�worthy of the attention of a wide variety of persons. If he
writes as clearly and understandably as his oral communication, the book
should be an important contribution towards understanding cosmology..�
Paleontology, Professor Donald E. Savage: �Professors and scientists at
the universities of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, to
date, have each spent two hours or more listening to the powerful
presentation of Anthony Marr of his erudite synthesis of scientific,
philosophic and sociologic theory: OMNI-SCIENCE, A New Theory of Cosmology.
I can add nothing to the praise that has been heaped upon Mr. Marr and his
ideas by these men, and I endorse their statements with reservation. Now is
the time for Mr. Marr�s ideas to be published, for the scientific world and
general public should become aware of his synthesis..�
Institute of Human Origins, Berkeley
Dr. William Kimbel, President: �I have recently had the great pleasure of
listening to Anthony Marr describe the results of his thinking on cosmology.
// Owing to the large number of half-baked �pop� theories on cosmology
currently in circulation, I admit that I faced the prospect of my meeting
with Mr. Marr with some trepidation. // From the outset, however, it was
clear that Mr. Marr is no amateur populariser. On the contrary, he is a
dedicated scholar whose theories, I believe, make a profound contribution to
the fundamental definition of humankind in relation to the broader universe.
// Although Mr. Marr has an uphill battle ahead of him, I firmly believe
that his ideas deserve very serious consideration by a wide audience. Not
only do they unify the fragmented Western scientific disciplines, but they
have implications of great depth and breadth for the future course of human
actions. In the current atmosphere of censorship and anti-intellectualism,
Mr. Marr�s concept of OMNI-SCIENCE is too important to ignore..�
Stanford University
Sociology, Professor Alex Inkeles: �Recently Mr. Anthony Marr persuaded
me to give him an hour of my time, all I could spare in that cycle of my
calendar, and at that it had to be at the end of a busy day. This obliged
Mr. Marr, as he told me, to adopt a different style of presentation than the
one he usually used, one much more compressed and involving a more top-down
approach instead of his usual inductive procedure. Despite these handicaps,
Mr. Marr managed to impress me not only with the quality of his
presentation, but also the quality of his thinking. The range of his
knowledge is broad, and for something so broad seems impressively
authoritative. At the heart of his approach is a conception of all living
and indeed nonliving matter as organized in systems, and this gave him a
considerable edge with me since my own propensity is to think in system
terms� exceptionally comprehensive..�
Philosophy, Professor John Dupre: �A few days ago, I had a lengthy
discussion with Mr. Anthony Marr about his philosophical ideas. I can
certainly confirm the impressions gained by the various other scholars who
have written on his behalf. Marr is a highly intelligent, thoughtful man who
has evidently acquired a thorough knowledge of the impressively broad range
of topics over which his ideas range. As we were talking, I asked him all
the difficult questions that occurred to me as he was outlining his ideas.
He was always very quick to get the point, and had intelligent and relevant
responses. I was very impressed with his various intellectual
accomplishments. // Though his ideas are extremely intriguing and
provocative, I must confess to having considerable skepticism about his
project which he did not altogether dispel. However, I very much doubt
whether anyone could dispel this skepticism, and certainly not in two hours.
I am not convinced, that is to say, that a systematic view of the scope that
Marr attempts is really an intelligible project. However, there is no doubt
that such projects will be forthcoming, and such a system informed by Mr.
Marr�s deep and thorough understanding of the current state of scientific
theory will undoubtedly be incomparably more edifying than the vast majority
of such attempts, whether religiously based, or grounded on superficial
impressions of science. Indeed, I am open to being convinced that such a
project will address a pressing social need: if people insist on adopting
comprehensive cosmological systems, then I would certainly encourage them to
try his. I certainly share his concern about the dangers of many
contemporary religious, especially fundamentalist, cosmologies. // One
thing, then I would say without any qualification is that I would strongly
encourage any publisher to accept his book. I have not read the manuscript,
but assuming, as I have no reason to doubt, that Marr is as articulate,
clear and cogent on paper as he is in person, his system would make
fascinating reading, and would, I suspect, attract a large audience..�
Applied Physics and Astrophysics, Professor Vahe Petrosian: �� elaborate�
clearly well thought out and researched�I was fascinated by his novel ideas
in this very ambitious task�a beautiful synthesis�what I heard was
captivating and should be of interest not only to experts but to all
thinking people of the world�will find a wide and interested audience..�
Anthropology, Professor John W. Rick: �� very thought provoking�an
integrative scheme capable of making sense out of a wide variety of natural
science knowledge, which at the same time reaches out to philosophy and
epistemology�clearly deserves extensive discussion�a serious, well-founded
vision, not the product of trivial or eccentric thought. My feeling is that
he deserves attention and his ideas should be published. I would recommend
that those who have the time listen and argue over his presentation. One
should not underestimate the time this may take, however, since his model
covers a broad expanse of knowledge. I would think that his presentation
would be an ideal forum in an academic department where a group of faculty
and graduate students could take time to thoroughly examine his
proposition..�
Physics, Professor Leonard Susskind: ��the cosmic significance of life
and evolution. Although this is not exactly my �meat�, I thoroughly enjoyed
the two hours�I found myself stimulated, educated�His ideas are worth
listening to, even for those of us who are not of the same philosophical
bent..�
Philosophy, Professor John Bogart: �I spent 3.5 hours with Mr. Anthony
Marr�held my attention for the entire period�has plainly synthesized a great
deal of information in a number of distinct disciplines�organized it into an
interesting and coherent whole�compelling�intended to have moral import�can
be cast into a form of interest to moral philosophy�would be of interest to
a wide audience..�
Geology, Professor W.R. Evitt: �I agree wholeheartedly�about his
sincerity, imagination, intellectualism and scholarship. This afternoon was
for me a unique and stimulating experience. In a highly logical series of
simple steps, he developed a comprehensive concept of the interrelations and
interdependence of all things�an immensely logical construct�should be
accessible and acceptable to persons with a wide range of cultural, social,
scientific and philosophical sophistications�meticulously thought out, with
great care, to making his thesis externally consistent with the facts of
science as currently perceived, and internally consistent in the
interrelationships among its arguments�majestic in scope but intrinsically
simple, satisfying and optimistic�should have a very broad appeal�These are
important ideas with great potential for lessening the conflicts in a
troubled world..� .
