Conference on archaeo-astronomy, anthropology
Walter Alter
INTERSECT 2001
Electricity, Cosmology, and Human History
- A World Conference -
July 6-9, 2001, Laughlin, Nevada
Powerful new perspectives in astronomy & cosmology
Plasma & electricity - opening a new frontier
Evidence for recent changes in our Solar System
Human records of planetary upheaval
Origins of mythical archetypes and global symbols
Science and the quest for interdisciplinary synthesis
Electrical activity observed at every level in the universe, the
interconnectedness of all things and the convergence of new scientific
discoveries with ancient human records will be the special focus of this
three-and-a-half day world conference. Come and be a witness at this
historic event, as some of the world's leading scientists, researchers, and
thinkers present their latest findings in a crucial chapter of the
scientific revolution that is reshaping the way we see the world.
SPEAKERS AND TOPICS
This conference will feature some of the most respected scientists and
influential thinkers at the forefront of a radically changing view of the
universe. Conference presentations will both consider a new perspective in
the life-sciences and look closely at the role of electricity in the
formation of galaxies, in the birth of stars, and in the catastrophic
evolution of our own planetary system.
Life-Science presenters will include: Noted biochemist and author Rupert
Sheldrake, a major challenger of scientific reductionism, will discuss the
latest developments and implications concerning his controversial hypothesis
"morphic resonance" which proposes that all life forms, including human,
both draw upon and contribute to a collective species memory; Ralph Abraham,
a pioneer in the chaos revolution, will present his work in chaos theory and
its application to the subtle energy ideas inherent in the work of Sheldrake
and others; and Bruce Lipton, who will challenge the theory of genetic
determinism demonstrating how external factors, including personal
perception, impact cell viability.
Cosmology presenters include: The distinguished astronomer Halton Arp [in
person or video], whose work has re-defined our ideas about galaxies,
quasars, and the age and size of the observed universe; Robert Bass who will
be talking about Mach's Principal as it relates to Arp's anomalous redshifts
and the alleged Dark Energy of recent cosmology. Anthony Peratt, a leading
pioneer and investigator in plasma physics, will discuss his research
indicating how electrical phenomena influence and organize stars, galaxies
and larger structures in space; Wallace Thornhill, who's synthesis on the
role of electricity in the universe has led to a new, more fully integrated
scientific vision will present an overview of his "Electric Universe", from
macrocosm to microcosm; and professor of electrical engineering Donald
Scott, will discuss the electric star hypothesis, in which the stars,
including our Sun, are understood to be a spheres of discharging plasma.
Humanities presenters will include:
Comparative mythologist David Talbott, pioneer of the "Saturn Model", a
radical reconstruction of human and Solar System history who, together with
his colleagues Michael Armstrong, Mel and Amy Acheson, Dwardu Cardona, Ev
Cochrane, C.J. Ransom and Wal Thornhill, will discuss the convergence of
ancient astronomical testimony with recent space probe observations,
implying violent changes in the planetary system, and great spectacles in
the heavens. Additionally, Ted Holden will give an important perspective on
gravitational theory by looking at some critical aspects of dinosaurs and
other mega-fauna, claiming they could not have survived in today's
gravitational environment.
This will be an interdisciplinary gathering and exploration of new
possibilities for deepening human understanding, both in the sciences and in
the comparative study of ancient cultures, religions, and belief systems.
FEATURED SPEAKERS (in alphabetical order):
Ralph Abraham: Professor of Mathematics, University of California at Santa
Cruz, known for his work in the chaos revolution, he has been active on the
research frontier of dynamics and chaos theory since 1960. The most recent
of who's numerous books include: Chaos, Gaia, Eros; and The Web Empowerment
Book.
Amy Acheson: Educated in astronomy and known for her accurate and easily
understood summaries on the work of Arp and Thornhill, she is also editor of
the electronic newsletter, THOTH, author of numerous articles, and presently
at work with Talbott and Thornhill on their forthcoming volume,
"Thunderbolts of the Gods".
Mel Acheson: Educated in astronomy, author of numerous articles, his wit and
insight will give you both a chuckle and something to think about. His
thought-provoking editorials are a regular feature in THOTH.
Michael Armstrong: Long-time student of planetary catastrophics, and
lecturer on the Electric Universe, the Saturn Model, and their implications
for origins, philosophy, and theology. He is a publisher/producer of video
and newsletter work related to the science of catastrophics.
Halton Arp: One of the world's most accomplished astronomers, formerly
affiliated with the California Institute of Technology. The radical
implications of his observations resulted in his being denied telescope
time, forcing him to find refuge in Germany, where he is now in residence at
the Max Planck Institute for Atrophysics. Author of Seeing Red; Quasars,
Redshifts, and Controversies; and Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
Robert Bass: Rhodes Scholar, educated at Oxford and John Hopkins
Universities, was a Post-doctoral Fellow at Princeton, and Professor of
Astronomy and Mathematics, Brigham Young University. This frequently honored
scientist and inventor holds 3 US patents from his work in plasma and hot
fusion. He is now an engineer at BAE Systems and an advocate of cold fusion.
Dwardu Cardona: An investigator of planetary catastrophics for more than 30
years, with special interest in the Saturn Model. Author of numerous
articles on the roots of world mythology. Currently the editor of "AEON: A
Journal of Myth, Science, and Ancient History".
Ev Cochrane: Comparative mythologist with more than 20 years of research
into planetary catastrophics. Author of Martian Metamorphoses, a study of
the warrior hero, as interpreted by the Saturn Model. Currently publisher of
"AEON: A Journal of Myth, Science, and Ancient History".
Ted Holden: His lectures on "The Impossible Dinosaurs" were among the most
popular at our prior world conferences. He offers simple and persuasive
arguments that some dinosaurs were simply too large to have survived in our
present gravitational environment.
Bruce Lipton: One-time researcher, former Professor of Anatomy at the
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, noted lecturer and author of
numerous articles, books and videos, including "The Biology of Belief".
Anthony Peratt: Associate Director for Experimental Programs at Los Alamos
Laboratory, studied under Nobel prize-winner Hannes Alfven. His work was
featured prominently in "The Big Bang Never Happened". Author of Physics of
the Plasma Universe and numerous articles.
C.J. Ransom: Executive Director of Cosmos & Chronos, a tax-exempt
organization created for supporting research and dissemination of
information associated with discontinuous changes in the solar system that
may have occurred in the recent past. Cosmos & Chronos published the journal
Kronos and is publishing a series of books called the Osiris Series, edited
by Dwardu Cardona. Dr. Ransom is the author of The Age of Velikovsky and has
contributed articles to various publications.
Donald Scott: Professor of electrical engineering, retired from the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, known for his cogent presentations
on the "electric sun." In addition to his talk, he will be the emcee of our
seminar. Author of An Introduction to Circuit Analysis - A Systems Approach.

are Coming Home and Other Unexplained Powers of Animals - which won the
British Scientific and Medical Network Book of the Year award.
David Talbott: Comparative mythologist whose work offers a radical new
vantage point on the origin of ancient cultural themes and symbols. His
research has been the primary catalyst behind the "Saturn Model," and is the
subject of the feature documentary, "Remembering the End of the World".

(co-authored with Wallace Thornhill).
Wallace Thornhill: Australian physicist, his work on "The Electric
Universe" provides the broadest synthesis of electrical principles to date,
ranging across solar system history, planetary cratering and scarring, the
dynamics of the sun, and the nature of galaxies. Author of "The Electric
