When you watch a star, you are actually only seeing light it emitted years ago. At present, star may be somewhere else in night sky. (Stars do move in space). It might have deflected a little to east or north or north-northeast. The star is still emitting light though. This light will however be seen in following decades or even centuries; or simply next year.

When you watch stars at night, you are actually looking in past. So who or what is time travelling? The star? You? Or light? The further something is from you, further in past you are penetrating into.

Maybe then, someday, newest technologies will be able to observe these seconds after Big Bang-if it ever occurred in first place.

That was in 1852. Later Home learned to control his flights and demonstrated them before audiences including such notables as emperor Napoleon III and Mark Twain. His popularity was enormous, and he habitually moved in aristocratic circles of society, especially in England, where he gave one of his most celebrated performances. Those present were Lord Adare, his cousin Capt. Charles Wynne, and master of Lindsay, later earl of Crawford and Balcarres. Lindsay told story:

‘I was sitting on December 16, 1868, in Lord Adare's rooms in Ashley Place, London, S.W., with Mr. Home and Lord Adare and a cousin of his. During sitting, Mr. Home went into a trance, and in that state was carried out of window in room next to where we were, and was brought in at our window. The distance between windows was about seven feet six inches, and there was not slightest foothold between them, nor was there more than a 12 inch projection to each window, which served as a ledge to put flowers on. We heard window in next room lifted up, and almost immediately after we saw Home floating in air outside our window. The moon was shining full into room; my back was to light, and I saw shadow on wall of windowsill, and Home's feet about six inches above it. He remained in this position for a few seconds, then raised window and glided into room feet foremost and sat down.

Lord Adare then went into next room to look at window from which he had been carried. It was raised about 18 inches; and he expressed his wonder how Mr. Home had been taken through so narrow an aperture. Home said (still in trance) 'I will show you', and then with his back to window he leaned back and was shot out of aperture head first, with body rigid, and then returned quietly. The window is about 70 feet from ground.'

{Do you think if there is some intelligence in cosmos who was trying to open our eyes that they find it funny how dense and unwilling to even believe our own eyes 'normal' people of this earth can be, when they try to think they know it all?}

The hypothesis of a mechanical arrangement of ropes or supports outside has been suggested, but does not cover facts as described.

Some researchers have considered this event suspect for a number of reasons. In first place, there are several discrepancies between accounts given by Adare and Lindsay. Some of these concern dimensions and configuration of windows and their height above ground and whether night was dark or moonlit. {How about whether coffee was spiked with hallucinogens or why force didn't tell them how it was done?} Lord Adare, moreover, gave inconsistent accounts of event at different times. Captain Wynne's statement was simple and straightforward: 'The fact of Mr. Home having gone out of one window and in at another I can swear to: anyone who knows me would not for a moment say I was a victim of hallucination or any other kind of humbug.'

But omission of any reference to flight or levitation is regarded by some as significant--perhaps Captain Wynne was not convinced that Home had levitated and confined his statement to simplest fact of exit and entry. Finally, an examination of what seems likely, though not certain, to have been house in question has shown that a tightrope could have been stretched between two balconies.

Researchers have therefore questioned whether or not Lindsay and Adare were too bemused on evening of December 16 to know what Home was really up to or whether he had resorted to trickery.

But although their versions of event differed, Adare and Lindsay clearly agreed on most important feature--that Home 'flew', and was seen to fly in through window and, later, to fly both out and in. They may have been bemused and imagined whole thing, but at least they agreed on what they imagined.

As for Captain Wynne's terse statement and its omission of any direct reference to flight, it seems clear that he understood himself to be describing something quite out of ordinary--for he denied being victim of a hallucination or of humbug.

The suspicion that a mechanical device such as a tightrope {Remember he was doing this for decades and other things like holding his hand in flames.} might have been used was dismissed by Lindsay at time: it 'does not cover facts as described.' In particular, such an explanation does not answer assertion that Home floated through window feet first or that he later leaned backward and shot out of window head first.

This leaves us with more usual objections to reports of levitation: that witnesses were lying or were bewitched, hysterical, too imaginative, or not really observant.

And since it can never be proved that a hallucination has not taken place, this objection can never be fully answered. But when numerous people of good faith and good reputation testify to having seen a certain thing, and when no certain proof is found that what they saw was achieved by trickery, we must suppose--according to hallucination theory--that all these people were weak-minded or that subject of reports possessed a supernatural gift {The court of what I call 'easy' answers.} for inducing mass hallucinations or a talent for persuading large numbers of people to lie on his behalf with no gain to them.

{Meanwhile paradigm has much to gain by keeping people in darkness like mushrooms while feeding them appropriate excrement to make them edible or malleable to their purpose.}

In 1871, year in which Lindsay wrote his account of Ashley Place levitation, Home was observed to levitate by Sir William Crookes, an eminent scientist who later became president of prestigious British Association for Advancement of Science. His statement, printed in 'Quarterly Journal of Science', concisely describes dilemma into which honest people were put by Daniel Dunglas Home:

‘The phenomena I am prepared to attest are so extraordinary, and (so) directly oppose most firmly-rooted articles of scientific belief--- amongst others, ubiquity and invariable action of force of gravitation--that, even now, on recalling details of what I witnessed, there is an antagonism in my mind between 'reason', which pronounces it to be scientifically impossible, and consciousness that my senses, both of touch and sight, are not lying witnesses.
