Immanual Velikovskiy, Hans Bethe and Buckminster Fuller.
A bar ?, No, wait, into a lecture hall.
It's 1972, and these are guest lecturers at a small eastern university
Immanual "Worlds in Colision" Velikovsky enthralls an overflow crowd with his explanation of how the world came to be - celestial colisions interpreted based on the astronomical observations of ancient civilizations.
Hans Bethe - " Father of the Hydrogen bomb " details to a class of aspiring engineers how to use nuclear explosions in civil engineering projects.
Buckminster Fuller.... follow beyond the squashed geodesic "what's it "....
"Bucky" already old, and despite his apparent frailty, still a forceful lecturer, told us of doing more with less, and presented his concept of progress via the accelerating ephemeralization of material requirements for structure..... et voila the geodesic dome.
Three lecturers, 3 quite different world views.
All interested in the forces of creation - the shaping of reality.
As are we all.
The message - - - - if you can think it, you can do it.
We can imagine a stable climate with a sustainable future.
We can get there with your help
