6 Quotations from Charles Fort
superscientific adj. | 1919 | Book of Damned xx. 248 [...] I think of super-things that have passed close to this earth with no more interest in this earth than have passengers upon a steamship in the bottom of the sea—or passengers may have a keen interest, but circumstances of schedules and commercial requirements forbid investigation of the bottom of the sea. Then, on the other hand, we may have data of super-scientific attempts to investigate phenomena of this earth from above—perhaps by beings from so far away that they had never even heard that something, somewhere, asserts a legal right to this earth.
teleport v. 1 | 1934 | Lo! in Astounding Stories May 126/1 This whole earth was built up by streams of rocks, teleported from other parts of an existence.
teleport v. 1 | 1931 | Lo! i. ix. 105 Strange animals have appeared and they may have been teleported to this earth from other parts of an existence.
teleportation n. | 1932 | Wild Talents ii. 27 Mostly in this book I shall specialize upon indications that there exists a transportory force that I shall call Teleportation.
teleportation n. | 1932 | Wild Talents x. 98 Marauding animals have often unaccountably appeared in, or near, human communities.…I have collected notes upon these occurrences, as teleportations. [Ibid. x. 100] It seems to me that my expressions upon Teleportations are somewhat satisfactory in most of the cases—that is, that there is a force, distributive of forms of life and other phenomena that could switch an animal, say from a jungle in Madagascar to a back yard somewhere in Nebraska.
teleportation n. | 1931 | Lo! i. iv. 42 Sometimes, in what I call ‘teleportations’, there seems to be ‘agency’ and sometimes not.
