Aimé Michel also had a fascinating take on modern science. He eventually came to the conclusion that physics and science as a whole are the richest and most promising veins of a new mystical worldview. Such disciplines, after all, had revealed a world far more fantastic than any previous religious or mythical register. Charles Fort, of course, had seen the same. I mean, who needs, really, a bilocating saint or a witch turning into a crow when everything is teleporting all the time on a subatomic level and birds were once dinosaurs? It was precisely this kind of thinking that so inspired Aimé Michel. He in turn inspired a French metaphysical movement that exploded around the publication of a single blockbuster book.
