Suffice it to say that the comet, which passed the earth 9 million kilometers wide of the mark, didn't cause the end of the world. This is the part where it gets absolutely infuriating: Despite the fact that we're all still here, Julien still claims to have been correct. The comet, you see, really did strike the earth, causing waves "up to 80 meters high." The current world-record-sized wave was 34 meters, though I have no idea how you'd measure something like that.
The huge waves were, however, suppressed by a benign alien civilization and their advanced technology. For whatever reason, they decided to stop the wave and save the lives of millions of people. At least, that's what he claimed at first. Now his Web site states that the aliens decided to intervene because America had decided not to use nuclear weapons in an attack on Iran. For some reason, the detonation of atomic weapons on Earth harms the parallel dimension in which the aliens live, which is why they sent the comet to wipe us out in the first place.
My head hurts. I'm willing to concede that. What it boils down to is that Julien claimed we'd all be dead, and after we did not die, he claimed his original claim was conditional and made up a bunch of stuff about nuclear weapons. I won't even get into the ideas that a) nuclear weapons, of which we have detonated thousands in the last half dozen decades, can have some sort of detrimental effect on another universe, and b) that technologically advanced alien spacemen from that other universe would break up a comet in 1995, knowing that in 2006 the earth would stand on the brink of nuclear war, and use that comet to destroy us through use of a tidal wave. Hell, if they're so advanced, they should be able to just fly around in their saucers, shooting down atom bombs as they are launched.
I found this graphic in an article written by Eric Julien in, I believe, 1990. It may be part of his upcoming "science of extraterrestrials" book. I suppose it might sound good to a layperson, but as an engineer, let me categorically state that the stuff contained on the slide above is gibbersih. The speed of light has nothing to do with electrons. Neither do isotopes. I think he may have been thinking of an "ion", an atom with more or less electrons than it would normally have. Regardless, neither of these things have much, if anything, to do with the speed of light.

Hi, from France... pity that all the other folks totally hooked on this story never managed to read the French sites because he's been banned, outlawed, ridiculed, and hated for at least two years, and even longer since his beginning. (Continued…)
