[Jawlist] Weekly Science Report 8-21-14

Sun Aug 23 20:13:54 PDT 2015

I will resume publication on Sept. 4th!

*Weekly Science Report*

*August 21, 2015*

*“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its
limits.”*

Albert Einstein

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 humans.

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

Steve Detwiler
