It was the 8th day of Creation, and I was free on a mission in the City of the Angels, just having flown
over the San Gabriel mountains to California.
After landing in LA, I spent a few days at the edge of time where the great San Andreas Fault seems to form a cliff over the ocean. I stayed on the beach in Santa Monica at
The Georgian Hotel and elsewhere, visited friends and family, then did some scientific research in Pasadena at Caltech's Milikan, Robinson and Fairchild Libraries
and at the Los Angeles Public Library, where I worked out the perihelion
precession of Mercury using the unified field theory I believe will replace classical General Relativity. It was the highlight of my Safari. I worked out the proof next to a huge paper-mache green star reminiscent of Zubeneschamali in the Balance of Libra while seated inside a high glass walkway hanging over the sparkling library scene
with it's towering marble columns. I had jaunted to the stars.

My adventures in Hollywood included a visit to the LaBrea tar pit
museum, an afternoon at Hollywood Cemetery near the graves of Douglas
Fairbanks, Marilyn Monroe, Tyrone Power, and a surprisingly large
number of Russians I guess Sergei Eisenstein might have brought in.
As I recall, the legend on Tyrone Power's bench & book seat gravestone was a selection from lines in Hamlet: "If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all. Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." - Hamlet

I liked to visit the Roosevelt Hotel across from the Chinese
Theatre in the evenings and study their Hollywood Film History exhibit
and read books on movie making and on script writing for video documentaries from the Hollywood Library or enjoy an alcohol-free strawberry daiquiri at this famous old hotel
built over a strawberry patch. I noted that Hollywood featured many discount wig shops, as if the primary acting job available was for a remake of Cleopatra.

Above Right: David and the Phoenix by Edward Ormondroyd. In which David rides the Phoenix, who probes some heavy bull. For a Galilean leaf, see the Star8 Solar Abundance Investigator Printout for the Sun. See also the Sun according to the Fusion Process Investigator, which gets the Age of the Sun just right using Chiu p-p fusion. Also see my new pieces on Big Bang Abundances, Galaxy Formation, and the Red Limit. |
