I was having dinner when I was suddenly cast to State Street in Schenectady, with the date being 1937. Within a few hours I was being interrogated by a librarian, a police officer, and a detective. Everyone seemed as puzzled as I was as to what had happened. Eventually, I discovered that Professor Collins of RPI had been at the bottom of it all. This is a time travel story that will amaze you.I was having dinner at the Daily Sunrise when I was suddenly cast to State Street in Schenectady, with the date being 1937.

A Matter of Logic

A Matter of Logic

Mario V. Farina

Mario V. Farina

Hal was insufferable, always bragging about himself. Everything was a matter of logic, he claimed and I was not able to refute this. There was a robbery at a motel where we were staying and he and I were suspects. But Hal knew who had stolen the money, he said. It was the mistress! Nonsense, I claimed, no proof. Oh, how I wished he could be proved wrong one time! Had that one time come?Hal was insufferable, always bragging about himself.

When I went to Wanda's house as I usually did before going to work, I found her despondent. We had had a confrontation the night before and she declared she intended to kill herself because I had treated her badly. While I watched, puzzled, she took a handful of pills and washed them down with amaretto. I called 911 and she was taken to the hospital. This story tells what happened after that.When I went to Wanda's house as I usually did before going to work, I found her despondent.

Introducing That Damn Little Bocci Ball Planet

Introducing That Damn Little Bocci Ball Planet

Mario V. Farina

Mario V. Farina

The planet was very small, about the size of a bocci ball. It was actually a second moon of Earth but it was heavily populated. The President of the United States wanted it delivered to him so that he could inspect it in person. The World Minister of the tiny planet would not accept this event. The events that followed will amaze you.What if the Long Chronology in archaeology is wrong? What if Creationism and Gradualism are wrong? What if all religions are based a lie, the same lie?What would you think then? How would you see the rest of mankind? How would you see yourself?Are you strong enough? Are you one of the many who will not be able to accept new truths?Can you emotionally handle the Long Chronology, Creationism, and Gradualism being false and unscientific notions? Are you capable of adjusting to the reality that all religions are based on the same lie which began as a misunderstanding of reality and nature by primitive people?Are you able to accept historiography, forensic science and logic without an ideological bias in considering new information which will alter your beliefs?Whether you consider yourself a free thinker, open-minded or someone who esteems intellectual honesty and integrity of thought you will be chagrined, upset, angry and disbelieving. This will occur to the emotionally balanced amongst you.How did people react when they found out the world was not flat? How did people react when they found out the Earth was not the center of the universe? How will you react when you find out everything you have been taught is wrong and hardly more than a bald-faced lie?You will try to find flaws in the minutiae to maintain your beliefs. You will shake your head and say “but it can’t be…they [the savants] couldn’t be so wrong.” No one likes to be proven wrong. But this is not just a case of being proven wrong. It is a life altering change in how we will see ourselves and our modern human history. It will explain man’s inhumanity to man for example.This novel, the four essays and historical tidbits will change the way you think…about life and about human development from the end of the Palaeolithic period. The four essays are particularly cogent in showing the unique ideology of Gradualism and explaining why the Long Chronology became religious dogma 1,700 years ago.This novel utilizes historical connections, forensic science and logic without an ideological bias and what can be known about the chronology of our modern human era starting in the Mesolithic period.I have placed at the end of the novel four essays as well as historical tidbits such as the forensic science showing the Old World was in contact with the New World at least in the Neolithic if not earlier. There is not a lab in the world which can rebut the evidence found by Dr. Balabanova et al. There is not a genetics study which can rebut the findings of Dr. Brown et al.Work with the facts and live with the truth.There is good news. The conclusions I reach does not impact the concept of theism. The explanations of religion and ancient contacts once devoid of ideology will enhance our understanding of human history in the modern era; the social and cultural developments.I hope you enjoy the novel as an adventure during the second great tumultuous period in our modern history. I hope you do not have any physical problems from the conclusions I have drawn from a wide array of data.Who should read this novel? Only those among you who have emotional equilibrium and are not ideologically predisposed. Otherwise, I cannot be held responsible for physical side effects you may experience. This adventure takes place during the second greatest tumultuous period in our modern era. It is the time of the Exodus and the great submergences throughout the world.
