Ancient and Modern Physics


      For people interested in science, one
theosophist 
has a little book online with an unusual science
paradigm 
- "Ancient & Modern Physcis," Thomas W. Willson,
gutenberg 
ebook no. 10773.  He was the "information-guy" and
librarian 
for a newspaper for about 30 years.  The copy of I
have 
was a gift by Canadian Roy Mitchell to someone, 
(Mitchell's "The Exile of the Soul" is a great book)
so he 
must have thought highly of it.  It was originally
serialized 
in "The Canadian Theosophist," and then published by 
the Blavatsky Institute in 1926.


        One thing I remember about it is that Willson
has 
some explanation for the reason that some moons and 
planets (Mercury and our Moon) always keep the same 
face to the body they are orbiting.  It seems about 
impossible that this would be so without some force 
holding them in place,  as just the smallest amount of

random rotation would give them Some relative spin 
at least, if even once every year or a 100 years, but 
they don't at all.
