Luncheon Speaker/Topic: Brian J. Ford: "Solving the Mystery of Spontaneous Human Combustion."
The burned out body of Danny Vanzandt was recently found in Muldrow, Oklahoma. According to Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart, Mr Vanzandt may be the latest victim of spontaneous human combustion. The phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion (SHC) has been widely dismissed as a myth, and TV programs have used spurious science to try and explain it. Professor Ford has now revealed a novel mechanism that accounts for the documented observations, and this dramatic presentation includes real-time recreations of scale models that vigorously combust.
Brian J Ford’s 30-plus books are well known around the world, and his theory on SHC was first reported in his book Genes (1999). Recently he announced the results of experiments using scale models, and the work has been cited internationally. Spanish TV produced a report, and the Discovery Channel have just been filming his experiments.
