	John Michell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Michell (1724 – April 29, 1793) was an English natural philosopher and geologist, whose work was rediscovered in the 1970s.
		It appeared that John Michell was the first to consider a heavenly object massive enough to prevent light from escaping it (the concept of escape velocity was well known at the time).
		Michell described it in his proposal of a method for obtaining the mean density of the earth.

		John Michell, born 1933, was educated at Eton and Cambridge and published his first book in 1967.
		Michell's "City of Revelation" was summarized and extended with further research in "The Dimensions of Paradise", in which the proportions and symbolic numbers of ancient cosmology are explained.
		Michell's book, "Twelve Tribe Nations" and the Science of Enchanting the Landscape (1991), with Christine Rhone explains that throughout the history of civilization and the landscapes of the world the twelve tribe divisions of peoples and the alignment of holy places are depictions of an ideal social order in harmony with nature and the zodiac.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Who Wrote Shakespeare? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		John Michell's book, Who Wrote Shakespeare?, is not outwardly a proponent of any particular line of speculation, but more a compelling survey of the main theories, including the orthodox theory--that the man from Stratford-upon-Avon was the responsible party.
		Michell presents the case that Marlowe did not die as was described in documents, but was spirited away to Italy, from where he later returned to write much and possibly most or all of the remaining Shakespeare canon.
		Michell takes you through all the stages of authorship scholarship with no bias whatsoever, and presents the cases so clearly studied, that one moves from one personna to another, saying, 'yes, this must be the one.' Brilliant scholary study presented in absolutely clear style, accessible to the lay reader.

	Here Comes Everybody: a review of Who Wrote Shakespeare?
		Michell strains in his new book to establish a philosophical climate of "anything goes." He constantly emphasizes the uncertainty of historical knowledge, the unreliability of experts, and the subjectivity of any answer to any phase of the authorship question.
		Revealingly, Michell opens his campaign not with hard evidence, but with the standard antistratfordian attack on the paucity of references to Shakespeare in the official records of his time, and in the memoirs, letters, and other writings of his contemporaries.
		Michell is also concerned with what he considers to be the absence of contemporary references to the Stratford man as a great poet, a "unanimity of silence [that] has never been explained" (112).

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, Who Wrote Shakespeare by John Michell
		Each party clings to his or her belief with a tenacity bordering on fanaticism and we are not long into Michell's text before we begin to realise the peculiar passion that fuels the fire of the Authorship debate.
		The traditionalists of the piece, whom Michell terms "Stratfordians" or "Orthodox", are determined not to relinquish the image of "the Bard", that stiff-collared and benign looking poet who has smiled (or smirked) upon us all from the covers of classroom editions.
		Michell's text is witty, concise, elegantly written and brilliantly constructed, equally suitable for a serious student of Shakespeare or a reader with a general interest in unsolved mysteries.

		It was Michell who built the original apparatus for the experiment, an apparatus clearly capable of producing the results desired.
		Finally, Michell showed various means to determine the point of origin of the earthquake, the concept of the epicenter.

		In 1783 Michell published his work, that showed that a star, that has the same density of the sun, but 500 time as big, would have such a gravity, that "All light emitted from such a body would be made to return towards it".
		With no apparent connection to Michell, Pierre-Simon Laplace, got to the same conclusion in 1795, and explained it by saying that "It is therefore possible that the greatest luminous bodies in the universe are on this very account invisible".
		Michell took to account a body that has the density of the sun, which equals to the density of water, while Laplace took to account a body that has the density of the earth, which is 5.5 more dense that water.

		Newtonian Black Holes The Reverend John Michell first described the possible existence of fl holes, in a letter to his good friend Henry Cavendish, that was published in Transactions of the Royal Society in 1784.
		Michell's idea is to determine the distance to the stars by measuring the speed of light from the stars--the further away the star is, the slower the light would be moving.
		In another, Michell (1767) estimates that if the stars were just scattered randomly on the celestial sphere then the probability that the Pleiades would be grouped together in the sky is 1 part in 500,000.

	The Atlantean Imperative
		In the 1970s, John Michell, the celebrated author of "The View Over Atlantis" and "Dimensions of Paradise," pointed the way toward a greater understanding and acceptance that sacred geometry was of ancient provenance.
		Michell's essentialism -- which i could call "cultural essentialism" because it is not metaphysical in nature -- posits the pre-existence of a cosmology ("Atlantean science") that while "lost" is also the ideal to which we must strive.
		This idea surfaced shortly after John Lilly began publishing his dolphin intelligence research in the 1960s; Lilly himself may have promoted a prototype version of this story at one point, around the time he began taking psychedelics and doing sensory deprivation sessions in dolphin tanks.
