BTW Philip Morrison (Cocke’s PhD supervisor) taught my intro MIT physics course. It was first thing in the morning and I learned nothing :(
This is trying to say: *to count* as science, C&G have to turn their messy improvised activity into a rational post hoc account.pic.twitter.com/K7MxCKGeEA
(I meant C&D here—Cocke & Disney, the pulsar discoverers)
This is pointing at the impossibility of separating subject and object, as your post rightly flagged as centralpic.twitter.com/f8e7e02Nc2
(They credit this to Maurice Merleau-Ponty, who was the foremost phenomenologist of perception. His work is interesting but difficult)
Backing up slightly, what's with the long hyphenated phrases? E.g. 'the-astronomical-analyzability-of-the-pulsar-again'
I think “the-astronomical-analyzability-of-the-pulsar” just means that, in virtue of masses of theory and equipment, they were able to >
interpret the Fourier signal peak *as* a pulsar, although in material fact it was just a dot crawling upward on the oscilloscope.
And I think by “again” they mean that C&D understood that this had to be reproducible
Ah I see, yeah the 'again' at the end was throwing me off too
I think GLL are emphasizing here that the discovery is a process, whereby gradually the observed scope peak turns into an observed pulsar
