Product Description
Reveals the cutting edge of New Science and shows how established science disallows inquiry that challenges the status quo--even when it produces verifiable results
• Contains 43 essays by 19 researchers denoting cutting-edge, heretical, or suppressed scientific research, including Immanuel Velikovsky, Nikola Tesla, Rupert Sheldrake, and Masaru Emoto
• Edited by Atlantis Rising publisher, J. Douglas Kenyon
Following the model of his bestselling Forbidden History and Forbidden Religion, J. Douglas Kenyon has assembled from his bimonthly journal, Atlantis Rising, material that explores science and technology that has been suppressed by the orthodox scientific community--from the true function of the Great Pyramid and the megaliths at Nabta Playa to Immanuel Velikovsky’s astronomical insights, free energy from space, cold fusion, and Rupert Sheldrake’s research into telepathy and ESP.
There is an organized war going on in science between materialistic theory and anything that could be termed spiritual or metaphysical. For example, Masaru Emoto’s research into the energetics of water, although supported by photographic evidence, has been scoffed at by mainstream science because he has asserted that humans affect their surroundings with their thoughts. The materialism or absolute skepticism of the scientific establishment is detrimental to any scientific inquiry that thinks outside the box. This mentality is interested in preserving funding for its own projects, those that will not rock the establishment. From Tesla’s discovery of alternating current to Robert Schoch’s re-dating of the Sphinx, this book serves as a compelling introduction to the true history of alternative and New Science research.

I was expecting a book detailing actual working science that had been suppressed. However, I found something quite different.
Chapter 1: According to the author, two men, Fleischmann and Pons, claimed to discover how to use palladium to generate something called "cold fusion". The author makes it very clear that a particular critic, named Parks, hates the idea of cold fusion. The proof that cold fusion works is that this critic quotes someone who made a mathematical error somewhere and, apparently, he can't even do basic science. Wow! I am now totally convinced that cold fusion actually works! Not. Question: What does slinging mud at an alleged critic have to do with proving that cold fusion actually works? Where are the results that cold fusion actually works? Sadly, this book doesn't have the answer.
While about half of the ideas in this book were new to me, I have encountered many other ideas in, sometimes significantly, different contexts with a credible source and a totally different explanation. While there are some valid things that will just never stand up to the deep scrutiny of mainstream science, if any of the ideas in this book have actual validity in reality, the authors did not do any of them justice. Wishful thinking, finding connections where there are none, warping existing theories and ideas to fit a particular viewpoint, conspiracy theories, photographs of unknown origins with unknown subject matter and fictional descriptions to support a claim, pointing fingers and slinging mud at detractors does not make for proof of anything.
Conclusion: If you want to just believe wildly implausible and totally unsupported claims without looking for actual proof, then this book is for you. If you want to find support of potentially valid ideas, natural processes, conspiracies, etc, then skip this book as it doesn't contain any them.
