Dear Emad,

Thank you for your e-mail. I did forward your previous e-mails to the editor
in Chief of Advances in Space Research, though I understand that you had
sent the material to her before.

Your studies are extremely interesting. Personally, I do not know how to

judge them - I have no medical background. This means that I am not really
aware of journals that would take such an interdisciplinary topic. They
must exist somewhere. This is not much help to you. I am sorry.

With regard to the bulletin that I edit, this is more of a newsletter and your
desire is to present something more substantial and detailed than I would
normally include.

I do wish you luck in this and feel sorry that I have not really helped you.

With best wishes,

Richard

Dear Dr. Kayyam,

I have reviewed the material you sent me regarding the analogy between
the eye, the earth and Stonehenge. While I found this to be an interesting
concept, it is not appropriate for the journal Advances in Space Research.
I would suggest you consider a journal that deals specifically with strange
and unusual phenomenon. Unfortunately I cannot recommend a specific
journal name.

I wish you success in finding the appropriate journal that will publish your
work.

Yours truly,

(Dr.) M. A. Shea

Subject: Re: Stonehenge

Dear Dr. Kayyam,

We received your brief paper submitted for consideration by

Archaeoastronomy. Unfortunately it is not suitable for publication for the
following reasons:

First, it seems to be a modern interpretation of Stonehenge with no

indication of how this might have connected with the ideas of the builders
of Stonehenge. Archaeoastronomy is concerned with how astronomical
ideas fit in the culture of the creators of Stonehenge, not with how
astronomy relates to modern culture.

Secondly, archaeology is an evidence based discipline but the hypothesis

is presented here with no specific evidence to support it. General
similarities between the shape of the spherical earth, the spherical eye, and
the circular structure of Stonehenge are insufficiently specific to support
this hypothesis.

Finally, (and this may reflect the previous lack of specifics) the article is too
brief to be considered for our journal.

I recommend that you read examples of the archaeological literature to

become familiar with scholarly expectations in that field.

Sincerely
Stephen McCluskey

Subject: Earth, Eye, Stonehenge

Dear Dr. Emad Kayyam,

Thank you for writing with a new view of a possible relationship between
astronomical human and Earth physiology. Of course you will find it nearly
impossible to find collaborations to study such diverse topics together,
when there seems to be almost no reason for the three to be inter-related.

I have two particular reasons to avoid any personal involvement. I My self

am working flat out to try to change our civilization's attitudes about black
holes, and this will be simple compared to the program that you enter
upon. Secondly, I am reluctant to undertake correspondence in the mid-
East (Mediterranean) since it automatically puts me high on my
government lists.

Because nobody is looking for or expecting a correlation such as you

propose, you will find it difficult to find collaboration or support For further
inquiry thus you must fall back upon your convictions to pursue this
approach further.

My best wishes to you.

Editor's Comments:

Your manuscript was judged not to meet our criteria to an appropriate

extent. It is not always feasible to offer detailed substantive reasons why
material is not accepted for publication; after all, the onus is on authors to
convince a journal that a particular manuscript falls within its purview and
criteria.

General criteria for material publishable in the journal include that

9
"All topics may be considered for the Journal; however, the investigations
must conform to criteria of academic excellence. . . . Articles must conform
to contemporary scholarly standards appropriate for an archival journal."

"Academic excellence" includes that theories be supported by evidence;

that competing theories be discussed; that the evidence result from sound
methodology. Moreover, manuscripts must be written in clear,
grammatically and syntactically correct English. We cannot undertake to
translate from other languages or from writings so poorly expressed that
the meaning is not clear. In addition, the editorial staff asks such questions
as:

What will readers gain from reading this?

Are assertions supported by appropriate evidence?

Is the relevant literature suitably taken into account and cited?

Some material, though technically sound, may simply be too technical, or

too specialized, for our readership, which covers the broadest range of
scientific and scholarly fields. Inevitably, judgments must be made in
applying these criteria. Sometimes reviewers submit advice informally, so
that detailed substantive critiques cannot always be offered.

More specifically, this manuscript looks to be a part of a much larger

project. It tries to cover a much broader range of ideas than is suitable for
an article.

Thank you for your inquiry to NASA.

Under Federal regulation, NASA is authorized to accept technical

proposals for evaluation only under one of two conditions: a proposal
must either be (1) submitted in response to a formal competitive
solicitation; or (2) presented as an unsolicited proposal. The procedure for
submitting an unsolicited proposal is described in a NASA guidebook
located at http://ec.msfc.nasa.gov/hq/library/unSol-Prop.html. The concept
you describe is not structured as an unsolicited proposal as defined by the
guidebook. Therefore, as submitted, it cannot be accepted for review.
These rules are primarily intended to protect patent rights and copyright
privileges of inventors.

Also, included in the above Web site are the respective NASA Centers and
their particular technical areas of responsibility under the section entitled,
“NASA Research areas and addresses for submission.” Perhaps you can
address your questions directly to the respective NASA Center for an
expedited response. After you review that information, should you
continue to believe that your proposal would be more appropriately aligned
with an area of research associated with a particular NASA Center, please
forward a valid unsolicited proposal directly to that Center. You are
strongly encouraged to follow the instructions as outlined in the “Guidance
for the Preparations and Submission of Unsolicited Proposals,” Web site
so that NASA Center personnel can process and fairly review your

NASA hopes that this information will be helpful to you as you pursue your

secondly we received many complaints about your previous articles.

dremad_kayyam@yahoo.com

Dear Emad Kayyam,

Your report, "Travel through Time by Riding the Sound" presents a

challenge to me, because there is nothing really wrong with it that I can
see, but it does not seem right either. I mean, we now are beginning to
understand that time travel is probably an act of consciousness, perhaps
amplified by some machine. And since perception of sound is also a
conscious activity, I cannot say that the sound sensory system is not
related to the conscious activity related to time travel. However, your report
so far does not make the case that nature has produced a particular
mechanism for connecting the two - time travel and sound
perception.

The good news is that there is nothing technically wrong with the
astronomical facts you describe, and your understanding of trends in
modern astronomy is quite good. In particular, I liked your treatment of the
dominant theory of cold dark matter, wherein you note in plain language
what the theory proposes, and the fact that there are problems with
predictions of the theory. So I consider the astronomical basis of your
report to be sound.

But I do not know of any interdisciplinary program that would be interested

in such an approach, since it is so far from accepted views. So I do not
know to whom or how I could recommend you.

Perhaps it is sufficient for me to just send you the above statement,

because ultimately you yourself will have to make this an acceptable
approach and viewpoint. I am favorably impressed by your research and
exposition, but I simply don't know what to do with the information.

My best wishes for your success.
