Alice Finding Velikovsky

When Alice woke she enjoyed her tea with the Mad Hatter and then ran off to visit Mr Velokovsky, the fine author of Worlds in Collision. He explained to the curious Alice that Venus could have been a meteor circling Jupiter and then was thrown out of orbit and destabilised the earth long ago, in Biblical times. He also said that supernovae might have caused the earth to move on its axis. Mr Velikovsky told a flabbergasted Alice that the earth was once more straight in its rotation and nearer the sun; the days were longer, there was a permanent cloud cover and people’s lives seemed longer. He told Alice that time did not exist, it was purely a human construct based on the position of the earth relative to the sun and the sun’s position relative to the centre of the Milky Way. He told Alice that all time existed simultaneously and there was only one big present; but the human brain is an interpreting device that broke up the vibrations of the holographic universe into sight – colour, form, sound, textures and smells – so that humans could interact with the holographic universe. He said to Alice – we don’t know what the universe is really like, the learned men say “per se” – as it is – when it is not being regarded by a human interpreting brain; because we cannot gain knowledge of it without our limiting brain – and our senses are so limited we can’t see the earth is turning or that the universe is flat; we need special instruments to see all of that.
At this point Alice was reeling with shock and excitement on finding out exactly how wonderful the universe was, and she could not say another word, just regarding Mr Velikovsky with big, shining eyes.

After reading the letter from the King of the North about his observation of a supernova in the distant past, Alice decided she would write down everything Mr Velikovsky told her and then send a lovely long letter to the King of the North explaining everything.; happy with her lofty plans she picked up Heisenberg’s cat, incidentally, he was not dead when the box was opened and the atom nucleus had not decayed as yet; to take her afternoon tea before opening her writing desk and compiling an account for the King of the North.
