Yes, well, aren’t we all…
If you have come to this website in search of Defying Gravity: The Paraellel Universe of T. Townsend Brown (aka “The Biography of the Man Whose Story Cannot Be Told”), please follow this link.
If you are looking for the “Dispatches from the Parallel Universe” forums that operated on this site from 2005-2009, they have been restored (to new servers) and remain read-only. Find them here.
Fear not, they have not been deleted.
They have been moved to new servers.
That is all.

Update March 11, 2014: The forums are now where they have always been:
They remain read-only and are left online for future research purposes, i.e. the next poor fool who gets sucked into the rabbit hole. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
…again,and with a wink and nod toward Adamski (and Cook, among others):
Issue 24 shows a painting of a huge flying saucer with machine-guns and swastikas, landed for maintenance on an air base strip. A headline explains: "UFOS of the 3rd Reich – Are Nazi Secret Weapon the Origin of the UFO Phenomenon?"
They are not, but for more than 50 years now this theory re-appears regularly, each time refuted, each time resurrected as if nothing were said. Here it is again following an article claiming that there are indigenous inhabitants on the Moon and another that tells that UFOs are manufactured by a mysterious terrestrial super-intelligence who wants to save planet from ecological disaster.
Go beyond the illustration and the sensationalist headline of the front cover and follow in a step by step guided visit about the claims in this article on the infamous Nazi flying saucers written by the journalist and ufologist Jean-Pierre Troadec.
… it is claimed that the article "will shed light" on
German secret projects, and that the result of these secret projects
"might constitute" the UFOS seen at the beginning of the Fifties. But
we shall see that it is not so: instead of shedding light, the article
propagates shameless lies.
…One
of the fake saucer photographs shown by Adamski was actually a
porcelain lamp top decorated with table tennis balls. Although all
serious ufologists know about that, Jean-Pierre Troadec quite simply goes on as if the photographs were real.
I'm sure the "authorized biography of Townsend Brown" will clear it all up…
You might not understand this right now but…
According to Wheeler, these wormholes may be only a giga-fraction of a square inch in size-the number one preceded by 33 zeroes, preceded by a decimal point. Wheeler says these mini-black holes, constantly blinking in and out of the geometry of space, are thought to be bits of "virtual matter;" that is, they can exist for a limited time only. Their counterparts-so-called mini-white holes – are virtual anti-matter. Whenever these two kinds of virtual matter build up to any extent, they immediately destroy themselves. Wheeler can offer no explanation as to why mini-holes appear, disappear, then reappear.
Too bad the map that comes with this site doesn't quite reach the western most tip of Cuba….
Imagine how much fun this guy will have when “Defying Gravity” arrives on bookshelves:
Sometimes there is more than one answer:
The student had answered, “Take the barometer to the top of the
building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then
bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope
is the height of the building.”
“Finally,” he concluded, “there are many other ways of solving the
problem. Probably the best,” he said, “is to take the barometer to the
basement and knock on the superintendent’s door. When the
superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: “Mr.
Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the
height of the building, I will give you this barometer.” At this point,
I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer
to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up
with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think. The student was Neils Bohr.
And I'm quite certain that's exactly what Sarah Palin had in mind when she said she didn't necessarily want to provide the actual answers to the questions she was asked during the VP debate.
“Change” is coming in the realms of science, too:
So Happy New Year, everybody.
I just read about this in WIRED, in an article by Clive Thompson (who wrote about Townsend Brown and the lifters a few years ago).
So this YouTube magician who wears a Guy Fawkes mask and does 'anti-gravity' tricks with playing cards does a short video (seen at the end of this clip) that generates like THOUSANDS of video responses, making this the most-video-responded clip on YouTube. And the resulting compilation is really quite compelling. See for yourself:
…and George W. Bush is just the Comissioner of Baseball…or, at least, these are among the possibilities that some leading physicists postulate might live among an infinite number of parallel universes.
A recent episode of The History Channel's "The Universe" series explores the same concepts that we dance around here in our own "Parallel Universe of T. Townsend Brown." You can view the episode in short videos online.
The argument is presented that even the word "universe" is obsolete in cosmological terms, because the root "uni" means "one." So, now it's the "multiverse." Or maybe it's the "megaverse." Or the "infiniverse." Take your pick. Just, please, don't let George W. Bush be president in any of them. Come to think of it "Commissioner of Baseball" is probably over his head, too.
Oh yeah, "fact checking." What a concept:
A man whose memoir about his experience during the Holocaust was to have been published in February has admitted that his story was embellished, and on Saturday evening his publisher canceled the release of the book.
And once again a New York publisher and Oprah Winfrey were among those fooled by a too-good-to-be-true story.
This time, it was the tale of Herman Rosenblat, who said he first met his wife while he was a child imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp and she, disguised as a Christian farm girl, tossed apples over the camp’s fence to him. He said they met again on a blind date 12 years after the end of war in Coney Island and married. The couple celebrated their 50th anniversary this year…
This latest literary hoax is likely to trigger yet more questions as to
why the publishing industry has such a poor track record of
fact-checking.
