Fragments of the story which I am about to tell lie scattered far
and wide across this world. Like bits of paper strewn upon the wind
they have been carried across the Old World land mass from Greece
to India and back again. They have been carried by the feet of men,
by boat, by camel, by elephant, by horse. Fragments of this story
may be read in the Catacombs of Rome, in the history of Egypt, in
the cuneiform tablets of Asia Minor. They may be read in the rock
carvings of Asia Minor and of India and in the art work of Egypt
and of Greece. In a sense it is a tale of two countries, India and
Greece, and great heaps of fragments lie scattered through the
epics of those lands. It is a tale of the long ago. The people of
the old Stonehenge had come and gone but Troy was yet to rise and
fall. Even the geography of Europe and of Asia were not then what
they are now. A great volcanic mountain still stood on an island
north of Crete and Vakshu, the Crooked River, still flowed into the
Caspian Sea.
So far as we know this is the first book to present the rock bottom
connection between science and religion. And the interesting thing
about it is that it is done from the basis of Einstein's equations
of physics and geometry. For thousands of years we have been faced
with the problem of understanding the relation between our physics
and what underlies it. So far as we know this is the first time the
solution has been in print. And it is simple and readable. We don't
have two worlds one for the scientists and one for the mystics.
There's only one of it. And if the mystics are right in their
descriptions, and if the scientists are right in theirs, we need
only a translator and a dictionary of both languages. Fortunately
for us, John Dobson has lived and worked in both camps, and knows
both languages, so he undertook the task of translating. But to
succeed in joining the descriptions by the physicists and the
mystics he had to start far below the scientist's descriptions and
he got there through Einstein's 1905 equations, his physics and his
geometry.
