*Weekly Science Report*

*April 3, 2015*

*“In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and
emperors who called themselves 'their highnesses,' 'their majesties,' and
'their exalted majesties' and so on. They shone for a brief moment, and as
quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines brightly like a bright
star, even unto this day.”*

H.G. Wells on Ashoka the Great

 Introduction

I created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock and John
Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines to
include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology.  My goal
behind sharing this publication has always been very simple, by sharing
knowledge we can make our world a better place.  Since the beginning of the
internet age we have always heard of the world being drawn together but
through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly
Science Report.  This publication is my contribution to bring people
together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow man.

I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!
