Alfred Elton van Vogt ( April 26, 1912 – January 26, 2000 ) was a Canadian-born science fiction author regarded as one of the most popular and complex science fiction writers of the mid-twentieth century: the " Golden Age " of the genre.

Until he was four years old, van Vogt and his family spoke only a dialect of Low German in the home.

One of van Vogt's best-known novels of this period is Slan, which was originally serialised in Astounding Science Fiction ( September-December 1940 ).

At the same time, in his fiction, van Vogt was consistently sympathetic to absolute monarchy as a form of government.

In 1950, van Vogt was briefly appointed as head of L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics operation in California.

At the time of his interview with Charles Platt, van Vogt was still president of the Californian Association of Dianetic Auditors.

On January 26, 2000, van Vogt died in Los Angeles, USA from Alzheimer's disease, and was survived by his second wife, the former Lydia Bereginsky.

Harlan Ellison ( who began reading van Vogt as a teenager ) wrote, " Van was the first writer to shine light on the restricted ways in which I had been taught to view the universe and the human condition.

For example Darrell Schweitzer writing to the New York Review of Science Fiction in 1999 quoted a passage from the original van Vogt novelette “ The Mixed Men ”, which he was then reading, and remarked:

Cuyp probably first encountered a painting by van Goyen in 1640 when van Goyen was, as Stephen Reiss points out “ at the height of powers .” This is noticeable in the comparison between two of Cuyp ’ s landscape paintings inscribed 1639 where no properly formed style is apparent and the landscape backgrounds he painted two years later for two of his father ’ s group portraits that are distinctly van Goyenesque.

His highly influenced style which incorporated Italianate lighting from Jan Both, broken brush technique and atonality from Jan van Goyen, and his ever-developing style from his father Jacob Gerritsz Cuyp was studied acutely by his most prominent follower, Abraham van Calraet.

It is this reluctance which was felt by the Rijksmuseum to reattribute works to other painters ( Abraham van Calraet does not even appear in a Museum catalogue until 1926, and even then he is not given his own entry ) which shows how important it is to art historians that painters are accurately connected to their works — and this is continuously necessary for those of Aelbert Cuyp, as Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter may not in fact be Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter.

This may be explained by the fact that the ages-old ideological struggle between the monarchically oriented Orangist party and its successive opponents of a more " republican " bent ( going back to at least the conflict between Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and Prince Maurice ), of which the Patriots were only the latest incarnation, was being refought in the standard works of 19th-century Dutch historians like Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer, who saw plenty to despise in the " popular-sovereignty " philosophy of the Patriot radicals.

Jan van Mill has described as a ' three headed monster ' — the three heads being a smiling and friendly head ( the behaviour under the assumption of the continuum hypothesis ), the ugly head of independence which constantly tries to confuse you ( determining what behaviour is possible in different models of set theory ), and the third head is the smallest of all ( what you can prove about it in ZFC ).< ref > It has relatively recently been observed that this characterisation isn't quite right-there is in fact a fourth head of, in which forcing axioms and Ramsey type axioms give properties of almost diametrically opposed to those under the continuum hypothesis, giving very few maps from indeed.
