'The Cosmic Clocks' attempts a scientific study of astrology - claims that
the contradiction that would seem to exist between
current scientific thought and the mystical interpretations of the universe
is not as great as sometimes claimed. Attempts to posit electromagnetic
fields and cosmic radiation as part of the directing forces for our lives.

For example, biologists' experiments show that plants and animals somehow
'know' the time of day, the tide, the month and even the year, and react
accordingly even when they are cut off from any obvious environmental
factors. They hypothesized that each plant and animal must contain within
itself some sort of timing system (see Robert Pollack's Missing Moment
for some neurological detail).  These biological 'clocks' and
'compasses' must be 'set' by the organism's previously unexpected
sensitivity to the very weak magnetic, electrostatic and electromagnetic
fields of the earth, which are in turn affected by the movements of the
earth, Sun, Moon, planets - and even the stars.
