Oh Trickfox I really like that . Down the "Brown" Rabbit Hole as opposed to a Black hole .... Yes, I agree with you. I get the same feeling that you have mentioned. This is going to be an interesting trip alright. Your comments are interesting and deserve some thought before I answer but k...

Right Trickfox ... a classic example of "clustering". I found it interesting when Paul says "Nevertheless Townsend Brown, or Dr. Brown, as those close to him still like to call him, despite his lack of academic credentials (and thats another story in its own right, which we'll get to ...

Well, maybe I'll open this chapter also. Note to other readers out there .... another reader and I have decided to "open" avenues of discussion by simply picking a chapter that Paul has written (one critic called them chapterettes because they were so little. I think it hurt his feelings b...

What a good idea Martin, each of us can pick a favorite Chapter and talk about whats in that chapter ...... that way it sort of limits the conversation but keeps up with Pauls efforts. (I'll bet he never considered that this sort of "self organization" would happen!) I take "The Boy w...

Paul. I am amazed at the depth and clarity of your research. Your introduction to this was so low key .... I didn't expect much. But you have captured I think, how it is that truely innoventive people get pulled into their work, compulsively and how badly they can be dissappointed, and how rough thi...

Paul, Martin Also note that Townsend Brown mentions ATLANTIS and ancient civilizations in that same first notebook. And ... try to get your mind around this ... he actually says that the building blocks mentioned in those ancient civilizations may have Floated ... that they at the time may have been...

How many lab notebooks did Townsend Brown write and how is it that only 1,2 and 4 have been brought to the publics attention? I noticed that in notebook number one Brown mentions Martin Jessups book, (or at least he quotes him)...not sure..... from the book. In fact its one of the first things Brown...

Paul and others .... I have been reading that first notebook. What a find! What a GIFT! WHAT A PUZZLEMENT! Note the notebook I think is dated 1955. Thats important to keep in mind.If I am quoting the right notebook Brown begins a discussion about "causing matter to he lighter" .... His wor...

I love it Paul! That last chapter was great! but the romantic in me is yelling ... but the lovers are GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION1 I agree with your mention of "weasel words". I trust in you to hit the delete button ... when you can ... when you see those words in your own work. I underst...

To Chris, Paul .... and everybody else. See, that is what I am finding interesting about this TTB story, as Paul is relaying it. It puts the work of Townsend Brown in some sort of framework with his personal life. How many of us have really known ANYTHING about what the man was really like? And in s...

Hello Paul, Andrew ... anybody else .... I liked that string of thought ... but sometimes even the best "Scientific method" as Paul says is based on what we crrently accept as fact and that is constantly changing .... as it should. Paul Dirac used a lengthy mathematical analysis to develop...

Note to Chris, You use a phrase that Brown and others have drawn from a "wellspring of altruism" and after reading a little of what Paul Schatzkin has written so far I can pretty much see that Townsend did not place "making money" at the top of the list, or if he did, he wasn't v...

Mark .... You are right ... thats how many schools Linda Brown apparently attended . I sat down and very carefully reread everything that Paul has writen . All his little chapterettes as he calls them. And I wondered ... I can remember moving once and being upset. How did Browns family ever survive ...

SPLASH! Hello everyone .... I have some answers to Marks question .... there must be some connection because Paul Schatzkin has already mentioned a sort of vague reference to the CIA in one of his earliest chapters on the life of Townsend Brown .... I think its the "Any Cabbie " chapter .....
