Art Bell welcomes engineer and author Maurice Cotterell from Ireland to discuss his theories on gravity, God, reincarnation, and the encoded wisdom of ancient civilizations. Cotterell proposes a new explanation for gravity, arguing that Isaac Newton identified the relationship between mass and gravitational force but never explained what causes it. His model traces the origin of gravity back to the Big Bang and the conversion of energy into matter.

Using Einstein's equation E=MC squared, Cotterell constructs a framework where God is pure energy and the physical universe represents its opposite. He argues that human souls carry a measurable voltage that increases through love and compassion, allowing them to return to God upon death. If that voltage diminishes through negativity, the soul reincarnates into a new body with its memory essentially wiped clean, consistent with what the Tibetans call sanskaras.

Cotterell draws on his decades of research decoding the treasures of the Maya, the tomb of Tutankhamun, and Celtic artifacts, claiming all these civilizations encoded identical spiritual and scientific truths. The first hour features open line callers discussing global weather extremes, the honeybee colony collapse mystery, and a former Canadian defense minister's call for disclosure of alien technology.

Key Moments

  1. E=mc^2 as proof we live in hell: Cotterell argues that if God is energy or light (per scripture), then Einstein's E=mc^2 forces mass to carry the opposite algebraic sign of energy. Therefore the physical universe of mass is the literal opposite of God: hell. The Big Bang is when God converted into hell.

  2. Souls as voltages drawn off God: Cotterell describes biological voltages reaching a critical mass during evolution and 'drawing a bubble of energy off God,' attaching positive God-voltage to a negative body-voltage to make a human with a soul. Loving your neighbor raises voltage and grows your halo.

  3. Maya 'illusion' and the soul-voltage of a flower: Cotterell explains that 'Maya' means illusion: a flower looks solid but in two weeks its biological voltage decays, the attached soul releases, and that same soul moves into a worm or bird. What we perceive as discrete species is illusion; underneath, God-voltage is migrating.

  4. Inverse transmigration: why a calf mounts another calf: Citing Tutankhamun's tomb, Cotterell describes the 'inverse transmigration principle': men return as women, bulls as cows. He uses two female calves trying to mate in his Irish field as evidence of a male bull's soul carrying its prior orientation into a new female body.

  5. Soul shatter: flocks, shoals, and midges: Drawing on Peruvian treasures, Cotterell describes 'soul shatter': a 100-volt soul cracks like a windshield from spiritual breakdown, returning as 100 one-volt fragments that move as a flock of birds, a shoal of fish, or a ball of midges, hence their synchronized turns.
