I heard you can actually travel back in time, if you can build something that can travel 186,000 miles
per second. I heard that on "The History Channel" several years ago. So I wonder did Barnabas traveled
that fast by using I-Ching?

The author, Frank Borzellieri, wrote a politicially oriented book several years ago which strongly advicated many conservative ideas. Now he is suddenly a physicist? Either there are two authors by the same name or this guy is a jack of all trades, so to speak ...

The original archived topic:
Re: New DS Book!  The Physics of Dark Shadows
states that he teaches journalism, and yes, he is also an author, columnist and speaker, but his political views are off topic.

Surely you can understand being surprised when someone you were previously familiar with exclusively as a political writer (yes, I had heard of him before) is suddenly writing a physics book, right? The two are a very unlikely combination to say the least. That was all I was saying ... It seems like people interpreted me as questioning this gentleman's credentials; I most certainly was not.

Hey Garth, I saw Frank's page on amazombie too and thought those previous pubs of his could put a few more curls into our own beloved Count Petofi's wiglet!

The comments regarding the content of same, in fact, were of a tone that reminded me of none other than ... the *original* Garth Blackwood!  Holy Hecate!

Still, it's all part of life's rich tapestry, eh?  (yes, I *am* going to Ontario soon)

Oh, as to time travel via the I Ching--it had nothing to do with physics, but everything to do with mysticism and eclectic 1920s occult explorations--I found the source for the notion in a book about Aleister Crowley (one of the inspirations for the Count Petofi character, btw) and some experiments he did with the I Ching and a form of "time travel" that was more like past-life regression.

cheers! GotheeeeEEEK
