... . CATASTROPHE Supernova Scenarios New Scientist, 19.1 .02, p. 17, 25.5 .02, p. 12 Three years ago researchers found radioactive iron in ocean cores which led them to conclude that Earth suffered bombardment from cosmic rays from a nearby supernova as recently as 2 Myrs ago, which ties in with an extinction event affecting marine molluscs. Now astronomers have traced a source for a supernova which could have been responsible. They have also identified a star they say is on the brink of going nova, so close that it would wipe out life on Earth (although probably not for a few hundred million years). A History of Impact Effects ...

213. The Demise of the Mammoth: Conflicting Theories [Journals] [Aeon]
... joint Russian and Japanese expedition. It is not that Buigues and his colleague Ross MacPhee are aiming to clone a mammoth from any DNA they hope to recover. But MacPhee, curator of mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, is hoping to be able to test his theory concerning the demise of the mammoth. The extinction of this beast has long puzzled scientists. Originally, it was believed that the mammoth had succumbed to the drastic climatic change at the end of the Pleistocene. But by the late 1960s, this theory was abandoned in favor of the one proposed by the ecologist Paul Martin who pinned the blame for the demise of the mammoth on prehistoric ...
214. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... mount is simply a symbol of the spiritual means of access to the Divine. But we are now to treat Mount Sinai not as a spiritual symbol but as a grand world monument when humanity saw mortality put in immortality and enter the unseen world, which some men called a world of bliss: some "eternal rest"; some "extinction", or "non-existence", and some Nirvana; but all of which had their origin in the one monumental phenomenon which gave all men a "sacred precinct" in the polar skies. It was but natural that the Hebrews, as the centuries rolled by and the original Sinai disappeared! attached the sanctity to the mountain now ...

... , mammoth, straight-tusked elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, bison, and modem horse (Equus caballus). Two exclusively northern species, glutton and musk-ox were found, among animals from temperate and tropical latitudes. Of the thirty species of large land animals of the forest-bed, only six still exist in any part of the world-all the others are extinct and only three are presently native to the British Isles.2 Remains of sixty-eight species of plants were obtained from the Norfolk forest-bed; they indicate "a climate and geographical conditions very similar to those of Norfolk at the present day."3 In view of the sensitivity of plants to thermal conditions, the conclusion might well be drawn ...

... Scotland, England, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Greece; in Africa, in Palestine, in India, and in the United States.2 "Man was living in the valley of the lower Thames before the Arctic mammalia, had taken full possession of the valley of the Thames, and before the big-nosed rhinoceros had become extinct." Mr. Tidderman 3 writes that, among a number of bones obtained during the exploration of the Victoria Cave, near Settle, Yorkshire, there is one which Mr. Busk has identified as human. Mr. Busk says : "The bone is, I have no doubt, human; a portion of an unusually clumsy ...

... ring shadow was projected southwards, thereby chilling waters in the southern hemisphere. Wind patterns and ocean currents were upset. Gradually, the ring was swept away by the solar wind. Evidence for the first ring derives from the findings of B.P . Glass, a marine geologist, who noticed tektites in association with four important species of extinct one-celled plankton in sediment cores from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. O'Keefe also postulates the formation of a second ring only 700,000 years ago during the most recent of the Ice Ages. From a Velikovskian perspective, theories like these are of value for their illustration of the skills in Earth Sciences required to test for signs of ...
218. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... Walter and several other prominent scientists, speculated that a comet-induced cataclysm was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs. (2 ) A large comet (or group of comets), it is argued, upon striking the Earth could so darken the terrestrial atmosphere that the temperature would drop substantially and photosynthesis would be disrupted, resulting in the mass extinctions which characterized the Cretaceous. (3 ) Another group of scientists has since proposed a theory even more ambitious than that of the Alvarezes. Commonly known as the Nemesis hypothesis, it invokes a companion star to our sun as a co-conspirator of comets in the great extinctions. According to the Nemesis hypothesis, this yet-to-be-discovered star periodically (every ...

... WORKSHOP 3:1 p.18-19) are mentioned. To this evidence is added that of Alvarez et al in a review article in Science : deep-sea limestones exposed in Italy, Denmark and New Zealand "show iridium increases of about 30, 160 and 120 times, respectively, above the background level at precisely the time of the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions, 65 million years ago". PRIMORDIAL DRAGON - Stonehenge Viewpoint no 35 We last reviewed this publication in WORKSHOP no.3 (Nov. 1978) p.13. At that time we considered that although Stonehenge Viewpoint and the works of Dr. Velikovsky shared a common domain of interest in respect of their enquiries into mythological matters ...

... increased tectonic activity over the past 6 Myrs. Interglacial Pole Shifts? (Reuters, Yahoo! News, 12.11.03; The Times, 19.11.03.) Among the large mammals which disappeared from North America at the end of the Ice Age' were horses. Research on radiocarbon dated fossil bones shows that extinct Alaskan horses underwent a rapid decrease in size before they disappeared, indicating that it was climate change, with resulting vegetation shift from grassland to tundra, as the cause. Phillip Clapham writes that this suggests strongly that the end of the "Ice Age" was in effect a pole shift, a factor further suggested by the discovery of ...
