The Phantom Time Hypothesis

When Dr. Hans-Ulrich Niemitz introduces his paper on the "phantom time hypothesis," he kindly asks his readers to be patient, benevolent, and open to radically new ideas, because his claims are highly unconventional. This is because his paper is suggesting three difficult-to-believe propositions: 1) Hundreds of years ago, our calendar was polluted with 297 years which never occurred; 2) this is not the year 2005, but rather 1708; and 3) The purveyors of this hypothesis are not crackpots.

(Via PAG E-News.)


If this doesn't sound like the plot for a never-written Philip K. Dick novel, I don't know what does.

Not the never written PKD, but the Epiphany he had actually written about in which we were still living in biblical times, but our present was an illusion.
