Sigh... it's books like this that suck in the gullable and ignorant, making the world a sadder place as they live in fear of what will never happen. Noone clearly flunked physics 101 and was too stupid to know it. His last name says who should buy his blather: Noone. For the record, these conjunctions (give or take a planet) happen every 50 years on average and have been happening for millenia. Rick S/V One With The Wind, Baba 35
