- Good. It would have been unfortunate and embarassing for us to have been
- found out right now. The AmAzIng NEUTRAL PARTICLE BEAMS were about
- ready for testing. :-)

- No, what you have is necessary, but not sufficient. It must also be
- testable and make some predictions about the universe to be as viable as
- relativity (General or Special). (This is true to first order. I am
- aware that there is some discussion in philosophy of science about
- falsifiability, as well as other nits.)

- No, no, no. NONE of Velikovsky's ideas are (at least as explained in the
- copy of "Worlds in Collision" I have) accepted in the mainstream of
- planetary and lunar science. They are, in general, WRONG. Very wrong.
- As wrong as the Question to the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life,
- the Universe and Everything.
