Decoding the Message of the Pulsars: Intelligent Communication from the Galaxy

NEW SCIENCE / PHYSICS . . . well worth reading by those who ponder the great questions of life in the cosmos. --Eugene F. Mallove, Ph.D., author of Fire from Ice and former director of the New Energy Research Laboratory Paul LaViolette is among the most advanced scientific minds of our time. His contributions in Decoding the Message of the Pulsars on our populated universe lay a foundation for our future society in space. --Alfred L. Webre, J.D., author of Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe In 1967, astronomers began receiving and cataloging precisely timed radio pulses from extraterrestrial sources, which they called pulsars. These pulsars emit laserlike radio beams that penetrate through space much like searchlight beams. Paul LaViolette, who has been researching pulsars for over twenty-five years, shows that while these pulsars have long been assumed to be spinning stars, the true nature of these radio sources has been grossly misunderstood. In Decoding the Message of the Pulsars, LaViolette shows that pulsars are distributed in the sky in a nonrandom fashion, often marking key galactic locations, and that their signals are of intelligent origin. Using extensive scientific data to corroborate his theory, he presents evidence of unusual geometric alignments among pulsars and intriguing pulse-period relationships. Equally compelling is the message LaViolette contends is being sent by these extraterrestrial beacons: a warning about a past galactic core explosion disaster that could recur in the near future. PAUL A. LaVIOLETE, Ph.D., is president of the Starburst Foundation, an interdisciplinary research institute, and holds advanced degrees in systems science and physics. The author of Genesis of the Cosmos, Earth Under Fire, and Subquantum Kinetics, he lives in New York.…
