Possible: that `There were Giants in Those Days' Yes, as the binding-force of the Universe gradually changes, and we're necessarily built of flimsier material and on a distictly less cyclopean scale, it now seems likely that in the dim, distant past - beings, perhaps even ancestral human beings, were of a density to support hugely more massive construction than is now feasible. Evidence? Check http://www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/changec.txt - long forecast in "Perceptions" UEF pages (c. 1996) it seems even the mainstream scientists are beginning to notice: "c" and "alpha" are changing. That's the two "constants" - the `speed of light' and the `fine structure constant' of the Universe. So many fables could be true of the past - and maybe of the future also. For, equally as "giants" may have been possible ages ago, so we may have descendants who'll be more ethereal than ourselves, maybe even `wing-ed' or flighted. ------------------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/fable.txt
