... mass extinctions, major climatic changes, slipping of the Earth's crust, geomagnetic reversals and shifts in the polar axis. Unlike many "neocatastrophists" working in the field of geology, Gallant did not only propose such catastrophes in the remote past; he considered the literary evidence of ancient cultures, including the "Papyrus Ipuwer", as evidence ... Library Association (7 Ridgmount St, London, WC1). The first speaker, RENÉ GALLANT, is one of the pioneers of modern catastrophism. A French mathematician and geologist, Gallant is best known for his book Bombarded Earth (John Baker: London, 1964), where he put forward a detailed and convincing case for the importance ...
512. The Electric Universe: Part I: Electrical Scarring [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... butterfly-shaped ejecta pattern. "Complex impact craters, craters with such features as a flat floor, a central peak, and wall terraces, have never been created in common geologic materials in the lab or with large explosions. At present, only the morphometry of impact craters on the solid bodies of the solar system can provide data on how ... Scarring Wal Thornhill points out some Grand Canyon features WAL THORNHILL kicked off the afternoon session describing his Electric Universe theory, focussing on electrical scarring on planets. Wal suggested that geologists are unable to simulate the shape of lunar craters with the use of explosives or high speed impacts. And then he begs the questions: are the Thunderbolts of the ...
513. A Reply To Isaacson [Journals] [Kronos]
... . . (W in C, p. 290)." While it is true that volcanoes may not necessarily require a celestial trigger (an area in which modern geology is highly reluctant to consider), there is, nonetheless, an outside possibility that an extra-terrestrial agent (Mars?) helped to precipitate the Theran eruption which does ... appear to have been as tremendous nor as destructive as geologists once thought. The Martian causal relationship is purely conjectural, however. There is still the matter of anomalous destruction patterns on Crete, already alluded to in my earlier work (Pensee, Ibid., p. 53), which have yet to be fully explained. More detailed ...
... a muddy and black shower, ashes and lava, the death of birds and fishes, the latter thrown up on the new formed beach. (Lyell, Principles of Geology, I, p.326.) Sometimes these beaches consist of naked volcanic rocks, but they are usually marked by gravel and sand. Old grass-grown raised terraces ... . The coast line beaches are sometimes narrow, sometimes expanding into broad and level terraces as in the case of the raised beach on either side of the Moray Firth. Geologists recognise generally three raised beach systems in Scotland, indicating, so they say, successive shore-levels during the Pleistocene Period. In Norway some of the raised beaches stand as ...
515. Goedicke in Response to Stiebing [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Tell er-Rataba was occupied in the early Eighteenth Dynasty, as the Johns Hopkins excavations under my directorship established. In order to make headway in this complex question, some vital geological information is not yet available, but is being actively pursued. I hope Stiebing will join in tackling the fundamental methodological question as to how to relate history and the ... bits of information are used to verify a literary image. To my knowledge Professor Stiebing is not an Egyptologist, and I do not know to what extent he is a geologist, volcanologist, oceanographer, or a host of other specialists also involved in this question. It is certain that the volcanic ash from Thera is consistently demonstrable in Egypt's ...
516. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to be given an explanation of how the field originated: however, Scientific American claims the geodynamo is self-perpetuating because the Earth's magnetic field has been present to some extent throughout geological time'. Flows of molten iron in Earth's core are invoked to explain almost everything: the magnetic field is present because of the establishment of an electric current, ... . They speculate that the stress along the fault line generated a surge of piezoelectricity, or that prequake activity altered the flow of pre-existing electric currents in the earth. Establishment geologists find it "difficult to imagine a mechanism that could induce powerful electric currents within the earth without any simultaneous seismic activity." [! ] Solar Activity and Ice ...
517. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... 9 ]. Scholars began to doubt the notion that the universe had been created once and forever. They started to investigate ancient chronology, and laid down the foundations of geology and paleontology. In the age of Reformation some religious apologists argued that a distinction must be made between the creation of the universe as a whole and the creation of ... akin to the biblical story of Creation, that the solar system has remained unchanged since it was created eons ago, and their assumption has of necessity determined the views of geologists and historical biologists. This dogma, being basically of theological and not scientific nature, is grounded itself on fear, as Galileo and Laplace have pointed out. The ...
518. Plate Tectonics and Catastrophe Theory [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... From: Catastrophist Geology Year 3 No. 1 (June 1978) Home | Issue Contents Plate Tectonics and Catastrophe Theory René Thom Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies Bures-sur-Yvette, France. INTRODUCTION I would propose that in the explanation of natural forms one encounters two types of approach: the reductionist' and the Platonist' This distinction is well known ... concept, because it is intuitively clear, whereas reality is always made up of a network of subtle interactions. The hypothesis of plate rigidity has not been accepted unanimously by geologists; may I quote, among the skeptics Paul J. Roper [3 ]. The hypothesis of the essential' plasticity of continental zones seems to have won ground ...
519. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... SPEAKER: C. WARREN HUNT- Speculation on the "World Mountain" concept as made in AEON I:4 as well as earlier issues deserves to be brought into geological perspective. What consequences would flow from such a construct? And what relics should be visible today? Hall's characterisation of Earth crust and mantle (p . 19) ... issues will not discourage him from continuing. His attempt to dismiss the Martian and terrestrial north polar bulges, however, starts with a false premise. I'm sure no self-respecting geologist would apply a formula on the subsidence of a terrestrial surface feature to the subsidence of a tidal bulge. Presumably, a tidal bulge would have relaxed substantially within days ...
... most terrible disasters of modern times was the crash of Mont Pele'e, Martinique, May 8, 1902, because owing to the ghastly stupidity and ignorance of two professors of geology in St. Pierre, the people were forbidden to flee from the city of St. Pierre, and in consequence, the entire population of 30,000 people ... cut through the earth from north to south, was more a surface rent. It meant, in a word, a scientific denial of all the absurd nonsense for which geologists, vulcanists, and seismologists have made themselves responsible, and that earthquakes, even major ones, are produced by an outside agency and not by an internal or underworld ...
