Hallo all,

My views are:

About moving Washington...

Not a good idea, because then New York can't hide beneath it.

Some of would be happy to see Washington, DC moved two hundred miles
further east than it is, but that is another issue.

Since HPB lived in Germany in 1886 it seems strange that she knew
nothing of the geography of the place. Some of these bloopers may be
attributed to her editing comittee, which reworked her manuscript and
in their minds improved it. In the Adyar edition if I remember
correctly there is a Frank admission that the committee screwed it up
in places. Englishmen in 1887 did not have a clue as to where
Koenigsberg was.

I read Kant's monograph in which he explained the nebular hypothesis,
and it should be said this is a remarkable insight. The position
taken in the SD is just Kant plus some ethereal beings which
scientists would say may or may not exist but which are outside their
province. Since the SD was written the nebular hypothesis has been
discarded in favior of various alternate theories (planetismus, etc.)
but has always been restored to scientific orthodoxy and is the
dominant theory today.
