Dear Dr. Helekar, None of the Goanetters were asked to be 'converted' to this view point or to accept it as the gospel truth. The item has been offered as an item of interest. I have not asked anyone to rely on the story. Everyone is entitled to his own view and learning expands by exploring many views. Science has many facets. What was once upon a time science fiction is seeing reality today. When Jules Verne wrote "Autor de la lune", "Twenty thousand leagues under the sea" , or "Journey to the centre of the earth" or "Around the world in 80 days" he was considered to be eccentric and these stories were in the realm of fiction. Today these are a reality. A Dr. of Science of those times might have offered anyone posting information about these books (assuming for a moment that there was such a platform) the same advice as yours. But today, far from fiction, these are common place realities. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Thus spake Shakespeare in Hamlet. However, since you have a right to the title Dr., I bow to your superior knowledge and wisdom. -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
