Talk:Robert Rosen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"In biology he is well known for a class of relational cell models called (M,R)-systems he devised."

This is false. Robert Rosen is not well known by any biologist I know, his (M,R) model is not mentioned in any mainstream textbook about Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Biophysics and its conclusions are not accepted except by a few researchers whom speciality is not Physics or Biology but Mathematics.

Adjusted accordingly to "is known by some". He is known by biologists, but I agree, not widely. --Lexor|Talk 21:30, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"Questions about Rosen's mathematical underpinnings of "relational biology" have been raised in a paper authored by Christopher Landauer and Kirstie L. Bellman which claims that that some of the mathematical "proofs" used by Rosen are dubious."

Maybe one should add a link to a comment by T. Gwinn where these claims are discussed and questioned.

There is a link to a site Rosen Enterprises wich only aim is to sell Rosen's books at astronomical prices. Indeed, that website is property of Judith Rosen, Rosen's daugther. This should be removed.
