A Beginner's View of Our Electric Universe - New

Acknowledgements
I claim no originality for any aspect of science theory in this book. All I have done is attempt to produce my own
interpretation of the work of experts in these subjects. The people from whose work I have drawn and those who
have helped me significantly along the way include:
David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill – Dave and Wal, my admiration for your work and dedication to this subject
is total. What I have learned from your individual and combined works has provided a new understanding that
has allowed me to see further and clearer than my previous horizon. Dave, you saw my eagerness and perhaps
some potential so you supported me and opened doors that I would never otherwise have known existed. Wal,
your clear descriptions of your own theories and those of others have been my most significant resource as I
built my big picture of the science that underpins the Electric Universe model. The book that you and Dave
produced together, ‘The Electric Universe’, is always close to hand.
I owe you another debt, Wal. Although your time is precious and demanded by so many people and projects,
you gave it willingly to review and provide comprehensive feedback on all I had written. This was a significant
effort and contribution that I appreciate deeply. What can I say here other than thank you, most sincerely.
Donald E Scott – Don, we never met, I truly wish we had. You appear the type of person that likes to get straight
to the point and I appreciated that as I read and learned so much from your book ‘The Electric Sky’. It is also a
reference source that is never far away. Thank you also for reviewing and suggesting improvements to my book;
I took much needed energy from that and will remember fondly your words of encouragement.
Mel Acheson – Again, Mel, we never met but I really wish we had. Twice I asked for your help in reviewing my
work; once for a conference paper and once again for my book. You willingly gave your time and expertise to
a detailed review of both and I thank you most sincerely for your time and expertise in doing that. You too had
encouraging words for me that helped provide necessary momentum at the right time. I will not forget.
Jim Johnson, Jeremy Dunning-Davies, Gerard Bik and A.P. David ... What a great bunch of guys.
You all unconditionally gave me your time by reviewing my work as it was slowly being produced then supplied
from your own expertise the feedback that enabled me to pat each piece into an initially acceptable shape. I truly
have no clear idea where things would have gone without the involvement of all of you good people.
Jim, you, just like our good friend Michael Gmirkin, are no less that an amazing walking encyclopaedia. Thank
you so much for giving me the benefit of your impressive knowledge and infectious, inquisitive mind!
Jeremy, I knew, after I got to know you a little and after reading your own book ‘Exploding a Myth’ that I was
going to be dealing with a wise and experienced head that would provide advice I could bank on. Thank you so
much for your expertise, sensitive guidance and timely encouragements.
