Weird Science– Part 2 of 2 — Science investigator Larry Arnold discusses how the mass media and even the firefighting community continue to aggressively dismiss spontaneous human combustion — even when given clear evidence to the contrary.
Larry Arnold has presented written and photographic evidence of spontaneous human combustion to fire departments throughout the nation. The reception has been mixed — from curiosity to outright horror and dismissal.
Can spontaneous combustion, or burning without an external ignition source (gasoline or any other combustible substance) , occur to a human being? To historians the answer has to be “yes”, as there have been reported instances of it occurring for centuries. But consensus within the scientific community is another matter .. in fact, most believe that it is a matter of carelessness or folk lore. Enter Larry Arnold — an engineer by training, whose goal is to replicate spontaneous human combustion. Through experimentation, he explains that which is the most probable cause — quantum mechanics — in terms that non-scientists can understand, while debunking the flawed explanations of the skeptic community
He has been a guest on hundreds of radio and internet-radio programs, including Howard Stern, The Art Bell Show, and multiple episodes of CoastToCoastAM.
Within the mosaic of the paranormal resides a particularly troubling phenomenon – not a fleeting spirit but one that nonetheless induces profound emotional shock to all who are witness to it. Today we speak to the world’s foremost expert on Spontaneous Human Combustion, Larry Arnold. Trained as an engineer, Larry tirelessly seeks to explain – “ just how can a human body reduce itself to component ashes in a fraction of the time required by modern, dedicated crematoriums?”
Later on, Larry recounts his provocative 1978 literary article entitled Meltdown: Tomorrow’s disaster at Three Mile Island, whichuncannilyforeshadowed the months-later nuclear crisis at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
