... BC, the 70th year after the fall of Jerusalem; 465 BC, the year Xerxes suffered a mandate of heaven' death; 259 BC, the year the Indian King, Aasoka, became a Buddhist; 1 AD, the year of the birth of Christ; 105 AD when, according to Dion Cassiodorus, happened a most terrible earthquake' and 365 AD when the greatest part of the Roman Empire was shaken by a violent and destructive earthquake and people thought that the World was sinking. A change in climate at the time of the close approach of Venus in 365 AD would certainly have been remembered by the Maya. (A full sequence of these close approach events ...

... . From the study of history I am prone to think that, if anything, they were more stoical than we are. You give the example of Pompeii. The best document of the catastrophe is its description by an eyewitness, Pliny the Younger, in his letters to Tacitus. Although the catastrophe of eruption was accompanied by a strong earthquake and by a great tidal wave with cinders and pumice falling from the sky in a profound darkness, the eye-witness did not regard what was before him as a worldwide catastrophe. It is not just a tidal wave or an earthquake or the eruption of a volcano that we have carried over from old traditions, historical inscriptions and legends. ...

The corresponding development in Israel, in the time of Elijah and Ahab, is found in I Kings, Chap. 19, vv. 11-12, where it is written: ' .. . a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks .. . and after the wind an earthquake .. . and after the earthquake a fire .. .

... heaven and devoured them. (xvi. 17) And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. (18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [Verse 19 belongs to the `Atlantis Myth', q.v .] (20) And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. (21) And there fell upon men a great ...
245. Electric Currents in Space [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Earth's crust which is a magnetohydrodynamic magma, or magnetized plasma. Where isn't plasma? In the biosphere, where we live. Understanding plasma: it's distinguishing characteristic is that it forms filaments. They are more influenced by electromagnetic forces than by gravitational forces. Plasma also give off radio frequency emissions; solids do if shocked, such as during earthquakes (cf. earthquake lights), and during underground nuclear testing). Los Alamos has some impressive facilities, and can generate incredibly high voltages and currents for very short lengths of time, eg. Mega-amps for millionths of a second. It cost $243,000 to fire their plasma guns. Still not much is known about ...

... v . 14), and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey (v . 31). Jonathan, son of a pious Israelite, knew his people had eaten manna in the desert of Sinai: did he realise that he had just done so too? The trembling of God' seems to have been no ordinary earthquake. Earthquakes can be frightening, but from experience I doubt any could so terrify soldiers that a score of them would fall to two Israelite commandos and the rest would fall upon each other. What told Jonathan that the Lord' was about to intervene? Did he see something in the sky which Israelites traditionally understood as God's hand' ...

... impact theories. All theories could be seen as products of their times. After Lyell and Darwin gradualism became so entrenched that even as late as 1993 catastrophism was still considered in some quarters as unscientific, despite there being no hard evidence for gradualism. All the geological evidence for sudden changes was submerged by theories of ice-ages, continental drift, earthquakes and volcanism taking place over long periods of time. Ideas of cosmic catastrophism were definitely not for consideration until the big break through of Alvarez and the C-T iridium layer. Even then another school of thought voted for massive endogenous volcanism as indicated by the Deccan traps. Only after evidence was discovered in Yucatan of a crater large enough and ...

... of sounds heard from both meteors and auroras. It is suggested that it must be due to electromagnetic radiation in the form of very low frequency radio waves which are turned into sound by a variety of transducers such as wires, pine needles or even the listener's dry hair. The radio waves could be produced by turbulent plasmas. Lightning Causes Earthquakes New Scientist 30.6 .01 pp. 34-37 Electromagnetic pulses equivalent to a single lightning flash can release seismic energy from the ground up to a million times greater in earthquake prone regions. Oil and Electricity Science Frontiers 135, May-June 2001, p. 3 Tornados may be formed as thunderstorms pass over positively charged oil deposits underground. ...

... occurred (cf. Voight, 1978). Some nappes were even found to have overridden topographic surfaces (High Calcareous Alps of Savoy), implying a rapid process similar to a landslide. I have advanced the hypothesis (Tazieff 1962, 1976) that nappes can be formed in a matter of minutes, moved by the energy of exceptional earthquakes. I wonder whether this hypothesis has found any proponents or adversaries, or has simply been ignored? Have any data come to light in favour or against it?

... even a degree of competition, Benton concludes that competition "will rarely be the sole cause, whereas it could be postulated that a catastrophic change in the physical environment is sufficient on its own". It has been so postulated, Mr Benton, but unavailingly until now. Dare we hope that these enlightened evolutionary biologists will soon prevail? Earthquake Electrics source: Nature 3.3 .83, pp. 28-32 We reported in the past two issues on the interest being taken in the phenomenon of earthquake lights, and in Workshop 5:1 we gave prominence to the ideas of James D. Byerlee. Now Byerlee, D. A. Lockner and M. J. ...
