'''William Mark Spann''' (born August 15, 1958) is an American independent researcher whose interests include the [[Electric Universe]], [[Plasma Cosmology]], the [[Aether]], [[Catastrophism]], and [[Planetary Science]]. He resides in Hueytown, Alabama.

			==Biography==
			Spann traces his interest in cosmology and catastrophism to 1975, when at the age of 16 his family moved to Decatur, Georgia, a few miles from the Fernbank Science Center. He spent a great deal of time at the center's planetarium events and among its science museum exhibits. Having become acquainted with the museum's curator, Spann asked for advice on a single topic that might serve for the History, Science, and Sociology term papers he had due that semester. The curator gave him a worn, yellowed paperback on the condition that he never reveal its source. Spann read the book within a few days; it was Immanuel Velikovsky's ''Worlds in Collision'', which he credited with shaping his subsequent interest in catastrophist cosmology.
