E-mail from Michael Roll to Ron Pearson (November 26, 2013): Scientific Teaching has Lost the Plot

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"All scientists now agree that 99% of the universe is missing. Surely this is the spiritual part of the universe that Sir William Crookes discovered in 1874?"

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (September 14, 2002): Religionists Control the SPR

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Dr John Beloff] was an executor of Arthur Koestler's will. He made sure the Koestler Chair came to his university - Edinburgh - where he could keep an eye on things. He chose a tame fellow psychologist as professor - Robert Morris - knowing very well he would never carry on the work of Arthur Koestler."

E-mail from Michael Roll to the Western Daily Press (October 30, 2013): Censored Historical Facts and Scientific Discoveries

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"All the hard work has already been done but suppressed. All we have to do is just point people in the direction of two philosophical giants, Thomas Paine and Arthur Findlay, the most valuable Scotsman ever."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Sam Nicholls (December 10, 2002): James Randi

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Randi] and his supporters are always given total freedom on all media and educational outlets in the UK to attack arguably two of the greatest scientists that Great Britain has ever produced: The President of the Royal Society and holder of the Order of Merit, Sir William Crookes, and the inventor of radio, Sir Oliver Lodge FRS. No scientist, however well qualified, is allowed on media and educational outlets to balance these attacks."

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"The time has come for people to realise that it's a scientific fact that we all survive the death of our physical bodies and it's nothing to do with believing in priestcraft."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (August 25, 2002): Professional Wreckers

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Dr John] Beloff is the perfect ally for James Randi and all the rest of the professional wreckers who are fighting with all their might to block the secular scientific case for survival from reaching the public."

Letter from Michael Roll to Professor Brian Josephson (December 1, 2002): Scientific Proof and the Media

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Whenever a scientist makes a public stand and links so-called paranormal phenomena with quantum mechanics, that is, hints that there may be a rational scientific explanation to account for any aspect of the "paranormal", it's as if a button is pushed on media computers and a list of names pop up of "experts" who will immediately be wheeled on to rubbish any scientist who dares to support Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge, the pioneers of radio, television and subatomic physics."

Letter from Michael Roll to Gary McCormack (July 22, 2002): Experiments Proving Survival After Death

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"For goodness sake don't fall for this propaganda that scientists only want to make mediums into a freak show. Only scientists who are on our side will be let anywhere near a materialisation medium."

Letter from Michael Roll to The Royal Society (April 26, 2002): Philosophical Balance

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"I see that Professor Bernard Carr, the President of the SPR, has been booked to speak at The Royal Society on 9th May. May those of us who have started from the base that Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge were correct in their conclusions be permitted to balance the thoughts of Prof. Carr and the hierarchy of the SPR?"

Letter from Michael Roll to Lord May (November 16, 2005): Subatomic Physics: The Study of the Invisible Part of the Universe

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Surely Ronald Pearson must now be in line for the Nobel Prize for Physics that should have been given to the pioneers of subatomic physics, Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge? I can't think of anything more important than the scientific discovery of the so-called next world because it affects every person on Earth. "

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (July 2, 2001): The Scientific Proof of Survival After Death

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Uncomfortable discoveries in physics that prove we all survive the death of our physical bodies are being deliberately blocked from even coming to the attention of people in Great Britain for them to accept or reject as the case may be. This is solely to keep the old-boy network ticking over nicely."

Open Letter from Michael Roll to Professor John Poynton (November 28, 2005): A Fair Balance in SPR Publications

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Surely in a situation as divided as this, rules should be made that all editors must be duty bound to always balance these two conflicting opinions, especially as I have proved to you that scientists within The Royal Society are relying on their colleagues within the SPR to keep a sharp look out for any important discoveries in what Sir Oliver Lodge called "Psychic Science"?"

E-mail from Michael Roll to Ron Pearson (January 21, 2003): Scientific Proof of Survival

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"In all my writings, broadcasts and lectures I say the religionists are basically correct, we do indeed possess a soul and survive the death of our physical body. The priests and the believers in priestcraft flatly refuse to grab this lifeline."

This letter was written in response to Prof. David Fontana's letter in the December 2001 issue of Psychic World.

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Psychologists and parapsychologists get very upset when people like me follow Sir Oliver Lodge and link survival after death with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics. They feel that their authority is threatened."

Letter from Tom Jones to Dr Chris Roe (November 22, 2001): Survival Research

This letter was written in response to Prof. David Fontana's article about survival research in the October issue of Paranormal Review.

In his letter, Tom Jones writes:
"I am at a loss to understand why the Paranormal Review is not concentrating more on the study of the invisible part of the universe - quantum mechanics."


Thomas Jones quotes the Nobel Laureate for Medical Science, Professor Charles Richet:
"There is ample proof that experimental materialisations should take definite rank as a scientific fact."

Open Letter from Michael Roll to John Samson (April 1, 2001): SPR Censoring Scientific Proof of Survival After Death

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"In April's Psychic World, letters from the Secretary of the SPR and its President have totally ignored the fact that every paper presented to the SPR that links the subject of survival after death with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics is censored by those who are running the show. This proves that the SPR does have a "corporate opinion"."

Letter from Michael Roll to Psychic News (March 17, 2001): Campaigner Compares Sceptics to Canute

E-mail from Professor Peter Wadhams to Michael Roll (May 7, 2004): Sir William Crookes

In his e-mail, Professor Peter Wadhams writes:
"It is a psychological phenomenon. Deep down they know that great scientists who engage in this kind of work and get positive results should be believed and should cause this subject to become a central theme of the world's scientific effort. But they dare not accept this thought. So to square their consciences and make the dissonance less extreme they have to invent reasons to pretend that the great scientist is not actually as great as he seems, that he's somehow naive or bonkers or that his conventional discoveries weren't as important as they at first appear."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Jeff Rense (January 7, 2002): Uncomfortable Discoveries in Physics

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"What really hurts is that nobody is spreading these lies from a base of ignorance. Intellectuals and university academics, with a great deal to lose from uncomfortable discoveries in physics, know exactly what they are doing - keeping the old-boy network intact from the wrath of public opinion."

Open Letter from Michael Roll to Dr Peter Wadhams (March, 2001): Only the Physics Connection is Censored

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"University psychologists are appeasing orthodox scientific teaching that has started from the base that we do not possess a soul. Any psychologist that backed the idea of a soul would have their careers destroyed immediately by the powerful physicists and biologists who are adamant that death is the end of everything."

Letter from Michael Roll to Professor Gary Schwartz (September 9, 2001): Natural Forces in the Universe

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Nothing happened yesterday in the laws of physics that does not happen today. Sir William Crookes and I witnessed exactly the same phenomena as the followers of all these saviour-gods. Understandably they thought something supernatural had happened and they turned their heroes into God - the creator of the universe."

Letter from Michael Roll to John Pilger (February 20, 1997): Censored Philosophers

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
”As you know the way to destroy any philosopher or scientist who is a danger to established thinking is to float a lie in the press and media, then censor out those who try to put the record straight.”
