London W12 7RJ Dear Mr. Rees, As you know I am a fan of 'Timewatch'. Therefore it came as a shock to me when you of all people allowed one of the great myths to be perpetuated in a television programme that was under your control. Marconi no more invented radio than Bill Gates invented computers or Darwin coined the phrase "survival of the fittest". It was Alfred Russel Wallace. Wallace and Darwin presented their joint paper at the Linnean Society on 1st July 1858 - The Theory of Natural Selection. Please also refer to the BBC Radio 4 broadcast that went out on 15th May 2000. The British scientists Sir Oliver Lodge and Dr. Alexander Muirhead invented radio, not Marconi. Please find enclosed the proof of this, a copy of the plaque at Oxford University on the very spot where Lodge received the first radio message on 14th August 1894, one year before Marconi came on the scene. These giants of science, Sir Oliver Lodge and Alfred Russel Wallace, have been written out of our corrupt history books for no other reason than they both dared to tell the truth in a country where the Church and the state are established. Their "crime" was to link the subject of survival after death with physics - natural and normal forces in the universe. Websites: www.cfpf.org.uk www.survivalafterdeath.org "To mislead another is a greater crime than murder, for killing stops with its accomplishment. Whereas to state what is not true is to spread errors that may lead generations astray." Professor de Morgan (Mathematics) Yours sincerely Michael Roll Related material on this site: |
