Roll Over, Isaac Newton
|
|
by Kathy Jackson
|
|
|
|
Brian Crabtree's theory involving wormholes and warps may
|
|
not be valid, but he was ONLY 10 when he thought of it.
|
|
|
|
Isaac Newton was 24 when an apple conked him on the head and got him
|
|
thinking about gravity. It took him 20 years to develop his theory
|
|
and publish it.
|
|
|
|
Brian Crabtree was 10 and eating dinner with his family when his own
|
|
theory of gravity popped into his head. It took him three years to
|
|
perfect the idea on his computer and present it to NASA.
|
|
|
|
Steve Bales, assistant director of mission operations, asked Brian
|
|
to come to NASA last month partly out of courtesy to a friend,
|
|
Johanna Meyers-Boyles - Bryan's aunt. Partly though, he invited the
|
|
youngster out of curiosity.
|
|
|
|
Brian packed his computer disc into a brown leather briefcase he
|
|
borrowed from his dad. He put on a blue tie. He boarded a
|
|
Southwest Airlines flight - alone - and traveled to Houston.
|
|
|
|
At NASA headquarters, Brian met with Mr. Bales and astronaut Bob
|
|
Parker. They bent over a computer, watching a bunch of brightly
|
|
colored moving circles and spheres, while Brian explained his
|
|
theory. He used words like "wormholes," "dimples," "warps" and
|
|
"bubble universes."
|
|
|
|
As to whether the theory has merit, well-Mr. Bales and Mr. Parker
|
|
didn't have a clue.
|
|
|
|
"It took him about two minutes to start talking over my head," says
|
|
Mr. Bales. "He's a very impressive young man. The fact that he can
|
|
talk about it at that age is extraordinarily remarkable."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Parker says he's amazed by Brian's complicated calculations,
|
|
whether or not they're plausible.
|
|
|
|
"I don't know if it raises new insights, but it was rather
|
|
impressive, to say the least."
|
|
|
|
Dr. Ivor Robinson, an astrophysicist at the University of Texas at
|
|
Dallas, says he's impressed, too. But he doesn't think Brian's
|
|
theory is quite accurate.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
"I think perhaps it's unfair to a 10-year-old to take his
|
|
imagination too seriously," Dr. Robinson says. "It sounds as if
|
|
this is a very bright and imaginative boy. But he needs to study
|
|
what other people have done in this field...and perhaps he will be
|
|
able to one day make a contribution."
|
|
|
|
Astronomy writer Jeff Kanipe says that Brian's theory sounds more
|
|
plausible than some of the others he's seen. A former writer for
|
|
ASTRONOMY magazine, Mr. Kanipe now is editor of STAR DATE magazine
|
|
at the University of Texas at Austin.
|
|
|
|
"I have certainly heard theories that are less sound," he says.
|
|
"None of (Brian's theory) is proven, and most physicists, I imagine,
|
|
would question his geography as far as the spherical attitude of the
|
|
universe...But he sounds like someone with a lot of vision. And in
|
|
physics and astronomy today, that's what's needed. They need
|
|
visionaries who can put together good theories about what's really
|
|
out there. I would say he bears listening to."
|
|
|
|
Brian was no ordinary toddler. He was barely out of diapers when he
|
|
started sounding out words and reading them. His dad, Bob Crabtree,
|
|
remembers holding Brian while standing in line at a Red Lobster
|
|
restaurant.
|
|
|
|
"Hush puppies," Brian suddenly said. He then read aloud each of the
|
|
daily specials posted on the blackboard.
|
|
|
|
"The woman in line behind us nearly passed out," Mr. Crabtree says.
|
|
|
|
When Brian was 3 and 1/2, Mr. Crabtree took Brian to a Dallas
|
|
psychologist to test his IQ. One of the tasks she gave him was to
|
|
draw a cherry tree. Most children create primitive, stick-like
|
|
drawings. Brian drew individual leaves, branches and stems. The
|
|
psychologist told Brian's parents that his IQ was off the charts-
|
|
somewhere beyond 200.
|
|
|
|
Mr. Crabtree says that Brian's intelligence - to some degree, at
|
|
least - might be credited to his mother, Tamie, who died last month
|
|
from a brain tumor. When Brian was small, she worked with him
|
|
constantly, teaching him to read and taking him to museums. She
|
|
tried not to be pushy, Mr. Crabtree says, but to open Brian's mind.
|
|
|
|
"If there was an interest there, she tried to develop it," Mr.
|
|
Crabtree says. "It got to where he was reading the books ahead of
|
|
her. We thought at first that he had memorized the book; then we
|
|
realized that he was reading. It got to where he would read her a
|
|
book to put her to sleep at night."
|
|
|
|
In a hall of the Crabtree home hangs a portrait of Brian as an
|
|
infant, cuddled in his mother's arms. There's another of a family
|
|
ski trip and a photo of Mrs. Crabtree, a former model, posing on a
|
|
wooded path resplendent with fall colors. Above the computer in
|
|
Brian's bedroom - next to a poster about helium - is a color
|
|
Polaroid of his mother.
|
|
|
|
He keeps her picture near him, but rarely talks about her. He did
|
|
say, though, that his mother was proud when he told her about his
|
|
NASA visit.
|

|
"She thought it was really neat," he says. "But she forgot about it
|
|
five minutes later because she wasn't able to remember anything for
|
|
a very long time."
|
|
|
|
Mr. Crabtree says that Brian seems to have adjusted to his mother's
|
|
death, probably because she prepared him for it. In the three years
|
|
between the diagnosis of the brain tumor and her death, Mrs.
|
|
Crabtree talked to Briand and his little sister, Angel, about her
|
|
belief in a better life after death.
|
|
|
|
Alice Hansen, who teaches Brian's life science class at DeSoto East
|
|
Junior High School, says he has done remarkably well in the wake of
|
|
his mother's death. Only once has Brian shown the strain.
|
|
|
|
"He took one of my tests and only made a 96 instead of 100," she
|
|
says. "I knew then that something was wrong."
|
|
|
|
Brian's bedroom is filled with rocket models and photographs of
|
|
astronauts, including Walt Cunningham. "To Brian," the inscription
|
|
reads, "Study hard and grow up strong."
|
|
|
|
There are shelves of books, but not TOM SAWYER or THE HARDY BOYS.
|
|
Instead, the shelves are crammed with volumes on physics, time
|
|
travel and parallel universes. Brian reads about 1,354 words per
|
|
minute - he counted once. The average person reads between 100 and
|
|
200 words per minute.
|
|
|
|
He goes to the library almost every week, usually bringing home 18
|
|
books. Near his computer are the volumes he has just checked out:
|
|
MASTERING TURBO C PHYSICS, 536 PUZZLES AND CURIOUS PROBLEMS and
|
|
COMPUTER VIRUSES: A HIGH-TECH DISEASE.
|
|
|
|
Brian already knows something about computer viruses. He gave one
|
|
to his best friend, Jeremy. It was Brian's way of getting back at
|
|
Jeremy for socking him a few weeks ago. Now when Jeremy signs onto
|
|
his computer, he's greeted by the words, "Ha, ha."
|
|
|
|
"It wasn't a major virus," Brian says, "It was just an annoying one.
|
|
I know he can undo it."
|
|
|
|
Brian doesn't watch much television. His hobbies are reading,
|
|
working on his computer, pestering his little sister and building
|
|
models of rockets.
|
|
|
|
"I'm going to try to get a rocket into the stratosphere with my name
|
|
on it and see if someone will send it back to me," he says.
|
|
|
|
Like most kids, Brian has his failures and disappointments. He's
|
|
still upset with himself for only getting second place in the school
|
|
science fair a couple of years ago. His project involved splitting
|
|
water molecules.
|
|
|
|
He corresponds with a prisoner convicted of armed robbery, answering
|
|
the man's request for a pen pal through one of the science magazines
|
|
he's always reading.
|
|
|
|
"He didn't do it, though," Brian says. "He told me."
|
|
|
|
Brian has a few close friends, but not many. Maybe it's because
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other kids feel uncomfortable with his braininess. Maybe he's just
|
|
something of a loner.
|
|
|
|
"He has a real problem relating to other kids," says Mr. Crabtree.
|
|
"He doesn't have a lot of friends, but then neither do I. Maybe
|
|
he's just growing up like his dad. He's not into football, soccer
|
|
and the types of things that kids are interested in.
|
|
|
|
"If he didn't go to another movie for the next five years, it
|
|
wouldn't be a problem. I don't know if it's that he doesn't care,
|
|
or if he just doesn't want you to know that it matters."
|
|
|
|
Does Brian think other kids treat him differently?
|
|
|
|
Brian pauses, chewing on a big wad of gum.
|
|
|
|
"I don't know," he says matter-of-factly. "Because I haven't had
|
|
any experience at not being me."

Vangard note....
|
|
|
|
We are attempting to get in touch with this remarkable young man
|
|
to see if he would be willing to write a paper on his theories
|
|
and/or to place his computer graphics demonstrating his theories
|
|
on KeelyNet and other boards of this nature. Mr. Bob Crabtree,
|
|
Brian's father, currently has an unlisted number but we are
|
|
continuing to seek contact through the Dallas Morning News staff
|
|
writer.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Here is Brian's theory in his own words:
|
|
|
|
"There are two universes: one of matter - the inner
|
|
and one of anti-matter - the outer."
|
|
|
|
"Both have a spherical fashion (shape) when observed in four
|
|
dimensions. They are curved into spheres in such a way that the
|
|
fourth dimension, time, is in every direction radiating FROM the
|
|
center.
|
|
|
|
The three linear dimensions are centered in the skin of these
|
|
'bubble universes.'"
|
|
|
|
"When a mass exists in one universe, it is attracted to the
|
|
other, forming a 'dimple' or 'bump' that other masses can 'roll'
|
|
into.
|
|
|
|
"In this way, time progresses as the universe oscillates. The
|
|
universes are in a field of all space and time known as the
|
|
OMNIUNIVERSE (OMNIVERSE).
|
|
|
|
There are other bi-universes within this field connected by
|
|
wormholes - tiny, subatomic tunnels of space and time. Since
|
|
they must only be spherical in fashion, not shape; wormholes,
|
|
rifts, warps and bridges can exist.
|
|
|
|
"This theory accounts for gravity, slow time, shrunk space and
|
|
the cosmic background radiation."

Vangard Note...
|
|
|
|
The theory presents many interesting possibilities and we are
|
|
correlating with some of the information on KeelyNet as well as
|
|
some of the info we have yet to place on the board.
|
|
|
|
One of these is the intriguing research done at the turn of the
|
|
century by the USA and French geodetic survey experiments. This
|
|
led directly to the Eotvos experiment and the hypothesis of the
|
|
Fifth Force - Repulsion.
|
|
|
|
The Koreshan Society is the current group keeping this work
|
|
alive and a file is on KeelyNet relating to the observations
|
|
which bring up some most bizarre discrepancies about the Earth
|
|
and just where the hell we are.
|
|
|
|
Ron and I found an article which will soon be listed in its
|
|
entirety detailing the experiments at the turn of the century.
|
|
|
|
Essentially, they involved suspending 2 separate weights down a
|
|
single mine shaft with the idea of locating the center of
|
|
gravity of the Earth. On measuring the "attraction" it was
|
|
found instead that the weights REPELLED. The experiment was
|
|
discounted in the belief that either magnetic, electrostatic or
|
|
wind currents might have caused the discrepancy.
|
|
|
|
Each possibility was removed and the test re-performed with the
|
|
same REPELLING effect.
|
|
|
|
The test was performed again in another location where there
|
|
were 2 mine shafts spaced a considerable distance apart. AGAIN
|
|
the REPELLING effect showed up. No matter where or who does it,
|
|
this effect is in evidence.
|
|
|
|
Triangulation showed the center of gravity of the earth to exist
|
|
approximately 4000 miles out in space. The above test has been
|
|
performed in other locations on the planet and ALWAYS WITH THE
|
|
4000 mile center of gravity present.
|
|
|
|
The indications are startling! Is there a shell 4000 miles from
|
|
the earth's surface which attracts OR BLOWS some force similar
|
|
to if not actually being gravity???
|
|
|
|
Stay tuned for the entire file.
