Aye, I'm with you there Mr S. We're only just opening the doors to the possibilities of parallel universes, and if those, as they increasingly seem to be, are a reality then we're quite literally in a new dimension. What I find interesting, in the context of this thread, is that stones, locations, arrangements etc may have been chosen for properties now lost to us.

Ever onwards, with an open mind...

I think two things are important here.

1. The application of scientific method.
Investigation should proceed according to scientific method; experiment and results. Otherwise we are open to all sorts of fairy-tale, UFOlogist nonsense.

2. Be open to the possibility that accepted scientific theory is flawed.
Scientific method and experiment will not, by it's very nature reveal all the answers, or the "truth". All it can do is show whether something is probably true or probably false. If this isn't taken into account, then we fall prey to the opposite of the problems with (1) - we are excluding the possibility that our theory is wrong, and going down the route of pseudo-scientific dogma.

I should like to take the time to applaud Mr Tempest on the above post.

I was going to say roughly the same thing, but couldn't have made the point so accurately, yet so succinctly.
