Like other twelfth-century Cistercians, Isaac of Stella was well versed in secular learning. Centrally engaged with the contemplative life, he expresses his spiritual insights in terms of the science of his day, and combines a spiritual psychology derived from Johannes Scottus Eriugena and Hugh and Richard of St Victor with an anthropology grounded in Stoic physics, Greek and Arab medicine, and a cosmic model derived from Plato’s Timaeus. A unifying theme of his writings is the relation between the physical and spiritual dimensions of human experience.

AbstractThis paper proposes a new interpretation of the dimensions of the sun and moon wheels in Anaximander's cosmology. While the traditional reconstruction proposed by Tannery and Diels posits six measures for three different wheels (sun, moon and stars), it will be argued here that Anaximander gave only two basic measurements, one for the moon's wheel (19 times bigger than the earth) and one for the sun's (28 times bigger). These two values can be accounted for by their connection to the lunar month – a graphic representation of the wheels which includes motion accurately reproduces the relative positions of the sun and moon; in fact they are the smallest pair of figures from which a twowheel model can be made that represents the month correctly. Anaximander derived his two parameters by attempting to incorporate basic observational data into a cosmic model.

Abstract The measured values for the cosmic expansion rate, the cosmic radius, the cosmic age, etc. vary with a direct or an indirect methodology. These discrepancies known as the cosmological crisis imply the existence of a new physical field. The coupling of matter to the field causes the ratio between a being measured mass of matter and a reference mass to vary with the field. Any experiment can only measure the relative ratio rather than the absolute mass of matter. Apparently, there are two representations in describing the field dependence of the ratio: the reference (being measured) mass varies with the field while the being measured (reference) mass does not. Therefore, the measured value of every quantity depends on the choice of the representations. A representation is selected based on the conscious or unconscious assumptions in an experiment. This new field can resolve the discrepancies as well as drive the late-time cosmic acceleration. The new closed cosmic model here can remove the tensions in the standard cold dark matter model with Λ being the cosmological constant.

Modern cosmology, based on the existing theoretical physics, combined with astronomical observations and a number of assumptions, formed a relatively complete theoretical system, but it was accompanied by confusion from beginning to end. Singularity, skyrocketing, dark matter, dark energy, etc. are all difficult to solve. Modern theoretical physics has certain limitations. It is questionable to describe the whole universe on the basis of it. At present, the interpretation of observational facts such as cosmological redshift and cosmic background radiation are also seem to be far-fetched. Based on the understanding of the vacuum effect and the fact of the interval effect of the field, an infinite order hierarchical cosmic model is proposed.

The ancient Chinese diviner's instrument known as a shih was an adjustable cosmic model. A similar object, the ‘lodge dial’, was probably a simple analogue computer for use in calendrical astronomy. Such instruments were forerunners of the armiliary sphere in China. It is possible that the phrase hsüan chi yu heng in the 5th/4th century B.C. Yao tien is a reference to some instrument related to the shih.
