The Talk of the Galaxy: An Et Message for Us? [Paperback]

Paul LaViolette (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2000

Paul LaViolette provides undeniable proof that ETI beacons are beaming signals to us. The locations of these sources have been catalogued and detailed of their highly ordered signals have been published in astronomical journals, but until now their true nature had passed unnoticed. This book opens us to the expanded awareness that we are but one civilisation out of numerous in the Galaxy that are in mutual communication. But, even more important is the core explosion message they are sending to us. Will we heed their warning?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Dr La Violette re-examines our understanding of pulsars and proposes how advance intelligences could utilise stars for beaming these pulses using Tesla-based force field technology. This remarkable thesis should have major impact in cosmology circles..." -- Nexus, February 2001.

From the Publisher

First time proof of the existence of interstellar radio signals of intelligent origin.

Evidence that pulsars are part of a vast network of ETI communication beacons.

Will we heed their deep space warning about the recurring core explosions that plague all Galactic civilizations?

These findings, which Dr. LaViolette first announced at the January 2000 American Astronomical Society meeting in Atlanta, have generated much interest in the astronomical community.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provocative evidence of signals from a galactic civilization, January 7, 2001

By 

Gerald M. Zeitlin (Sedona, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

Dr. Paul LaViolette makes an astonishing assertion: pulsars are not what we thought they were (spinning neutron stars) but are white dwarf stars fitted with synchrotron generators by an astro-engineering galactic society specifically to transmit information to us.

Anyone can make astonishing assertions; we encounter them every day. But LaViolette supports his hypothesis with extensive research data published by established astronomers, and a broad understanding of physics, astrophysics, and relevant areas of engineering.

It is not necessary to take LaViolette's ideas on faith. Pulsars ARE strange and becoming more and more difficult for astronomers to understand, the more they learn about them. The facts about pulsar behavior and their spatial distribution that LaViolette has culled from the research literature cry out for a new interpretation.

Anyone who has followed the field of SETI - the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence - and grown weary of the endless decades of futile searching for that narrowly-defined needle in the haystack, will find in "The Talk of the Galaxy" an extremely exciting revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and extraordinary revelations, July 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Talk of the Galaxy: An Et Message for Us? (Paperback)

Amazing book. The author seems to have gone to lengths to meticulously and thoroughly research and detail the thesis he presents. There is an extensive volume of data printed here that makes it very difficult to refute his assertion. If what LaViolette is saying is true (and I believe there is every indication that it is), this news carries profound implications and should get the front-and-center attention of every astronomer, especially those involved in the search for extraterrestrial life.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Schlock of the Galaxy!, May 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Talk of the Galaxy: An Et Message for Us? (Paperback)

Some people will write anything to sell a book! Don't waste your time. After reading "Earth Under Fire" I was more than ready to read something else by the free-thinking Paul LaViotette. The assumptions Paul makes in this book are BEYOND anything I'd consider scientifically proven. The crowning touch was the chapter about Crop Circles! Come on Paul . . . just making money??
