"By the way I am an amatuer astronomer/Engineer/ philosopher/scientist of many years standing, not some esoteric egghead" <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Alan, I never supposed you were an "esoteric egghead". I was mearly directing you to a topic where I thought the discussants might be more inclined to be interested in your experiences. You seem to perceive reality with your mind in a way that is not altogether different from many of those at the Mars topic.
Meta Research is a strictly reality-based physics organization which you would have known if you had perused the site before posting. Some of the theories advocated here do not agree with the mainstream, but only when mainstream physics has deviated from available evidence, physical principles, and logic. Your interests appear to be more in the area of alternative unreality, the paranormal and speculation for the sake of speculativeness. As you are aware there are many forums on the Internet that cater to such interests. This is not one of them.
Your comments and insights here are welcome however if they are pertinent to Dr. Van Flandern's theories, either pro or con, and grounded in logic and the scientific method.
