This has been a look back into history that brings us to today … so, what is going on now? … who are the<br />
people that currently hold all this together and who work to drive things forward? Here, I go back to the names I<br />
mentioned in my introduction to this chapter; those <strong>of</strong> David Talbott, Wallace Thornhill and Dr Donald E Scott.<br />
These are the men whose work so impressed me and started me on a road <strong>of</strong> education and amazing discovery in<br />
early 2010. I sincerely thank all <strong>of</strong> them for the fulfilment I have experienced and the new understanding I now<br />
have. So what have these chaps been doing? Well, the current major development and education program seems<br />
to have really started with David (Dave) Talbott and Wallace (Wal) Thornhill getting together and comparing<br />
notes on their complementary areas <strong>of</strong> lifetime research. From this they ended up agreeing that the links and<br />
overlaps between their areas <strong>of</strong> research were obvious and that a much bigger story was there to be told. This<br />
was a number <strong>of</strong> years ago, and since that time, together they have produced books, articles, videos, websites<br />
and so many other ways <strong>of</strong> getting EU information out. They look for alliances with other forward looking<br />
science organisations and they organise and personally attend public conferences worldwide, all to get the EU<br />
model out to open-minded folks in astro-science and to the interested public as well. I would hazard a guess that<br />
the breadth and depth <strong>of</strong> their combined personal efforts would be a real problem to try to quantify.<br />
Dave Talbott [5-9a] is an American mythologist, science author and scholar<br />
who lives and works in Beaverton, Oregon, the place <strong>of</strong> his birth. His<br />
university education led him to a lifetime interest in education itself, and<br />
he is responsible for establishing organisations in his home state aimed at<br />
improving the quality <strong>of</strong> education for all and at every level. His commitment<br />
to social improvement for fellow citizens has been courageous, effective<br />
and is highly commendable. Dave is another who found Velikovsky’s<br />
original work fascinating and who thereafter decided there was more to<br />
investigate about aspects <strong>of</strong> our ancient history that indicated the possibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> some alternative truths. The upshot is that his subsequent work has been,<br />
to say the very least, wide-ranging, in-depth and impressively clear and<br />
effective. From his developed point <strong>of</strong> view, Dave has written articles and<br />
books as a modern update to what Velikovsky’s original work covered. In<br />
doing this, he has been the catalyst for publicising the EU model and for<br />
igniting today’s fire under the whole subject area. His modern views on<br />
ancient history and mythology have been fuel for the personal fires <strong>of</strong> a large body <strong>of</strong> interested people; some<br />
<strong>of</strong> whom are eminent scholars and scientists who have begun to look for themselves at these subjects from a<br />
new perspective. It is especially significant that in terms <strong>of</strong> this breakthrough with respected people in academia<br />
and science, and together with the existing work <strong>of</strong> the Natural Philosophy Alliance [5-9b] David (Dave) Talbott<br />
, a new and effective<br />
interdisciplinary movement in scientific research has been formed.<br />
