Vincent, Louis-Claude
Louis-Claude Vincent (1906-1988) was a French hydrologist who is probably best known for his foray into the field of alternative medicine when he developed his theory of bio-electronics. In 1969, with unexpected incongruity, he published two large volumes (800 pages) on the origins of civilisation entitled Le paradis perdu de Mu (The Lost Paradise of Mu). He claimed that an impact with an extraterrestrial body changed the axis of rotation of the Earth by 90° causing the Deluge and submerging Atlantis in the Pacific.
