... time in the company of an elderly gentleman. I thought of a plan for remaining unrecognized; and then saw that this plan had already been put into effect. It was as though thinking and experiencing were one and the same thing. He appeared to be blind, at all events with one eye, and I handed him a male glass urinal (which we had to buy or had bought in town). So I was a sick-nurse and had to give him the urinal because he was blind. If the ticket-collector were to see us like that, he would be certain to let us get away without noticing us. Here the man's attitude and his micturating penis appeared ...
... issuing forth from the centre of the satellite's surface, springing forth-like Kali from the eye' of the demon Durga, or like Pallas from the head' of Zeus, or as the eager angels of the Apocalypse, the bearers of the vials of wrath, sallied forth from the open gate' of the temple' by the sea of glass' at the bidding of the Great Voice. Aurgelmir is only another name for Ymir (which means something like Mud Roarer'); the former is a personification of the Tertiary satellite at the beginning of its disintegration, the latter a personification of the Tertiary satellite at the end of its breakdown. Ymir was slain' that the ...
163. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... does vary, it depends on what material it's passing through. I read that the theory was that light is a photon which is emitted and hops through space until it meets another material when it hits it. Now I couldn't work out whether the new substance emits a photon to carry the light beam on, i.e . through glass, or whether the same photon goes on. Dr Milton: The photon theory of light is necessary because when light goes into an atom, it can kick an electron out of the atom. Only solid hunks of whatever it is, solid billiard balls can kick out billiard balls. So if an electron is a billiard ball, ...
164. Thoth Vol III, No. 6: March 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... observed characteristics of the Sun: the solar corona (what irony in using the same term, although a corona usually means a discharge at atmospheric pressure!) and the solar wind. To understand more about the Electric Sun we need to look at laboratory low-pressure glow discharges. Most people will remember seeing a demonstration at school of a long glass evacuated tube with metal disc electrodes at each end connected to a source of high voltage DC. You may recall the resulting glows emanating from the discs, at various places along the tube, and from the glass walls. For those who had a vacuum pump, you will have seen the glows move and disappear as the pressure was ...
165. Isaac Asimov in Absurdity [Books]
... , and straw commonly used in the ancient Near East. As Donnelly explains with respect to the fire that burned Chicago down, the, ". . . flames that consumed a great part of Chicago were of an unusual character and produced extraordinary effects. They absolutely melted the hardest buildingstone, which had previously been considered fireproof. Iron, glass, granite, were fused and ran together into grotesque conglomerates, as if they had been put through a blast furnace. No kind of material could stand its breath for a moment. I quote . . . from Sheahan & Upton's work: " 'The huge stone and brick structures melted before the fierceness of the flames as a ...
166. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 63 532 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 motifs pointed out by Dayton, but virtually all of the variations are attested for pottery of the first millennium B.C . Is sheer coincidence possible as an explanation in such an extreme case as this? The same applies to tin bronze, stratigraphy, iron, glass, astronomy, radiocarbon, etc. For starters it needs to be understood that we are not dealing with a "multiple choice" situation with respect to possible interpretations: if one is permitted to take the evidence at face value, then first millennium B.C . pottery found in the Old Kingdom points to a first millennium placement ...
167. Sagan's fifth problem: Chemistry & biology of the terrestrial planets (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... life. So it is possible to do experiments in which we mix together those gases, primarily hydrogen, methane, ammonia and waterwe can also add, for example, hydrogen sulfide-and supply some energy and see what molecules are made... One such experiment done several years ago in our laboratory at Comell, in which we had a glass reaction vessel, into which is inserted an ultraviolet source surrounded by a quartz jacket, and in this reaction vessel at this moment are the gases I've just mentioned. They are colorless; the only color .. .is from the irradiation. The gases are irradiated, and circulated out of the light and then back into it. ...
168. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , Velikovsky's critics have tended to ignore crucial evidence, misrepresent it and resort to disparagement. Whenever they found an error presented about the evidence, they would focus all their attention on it while disregarding the greater amounts of solid evidence. None of the scientific establishment's theories regarding the Moon are supported by hard evidence. According to Billy P. Glass, None of the hypotheses seem to explain all the data....[Of] the many proposed hypotheses for the origin of the Moon, some violate physical laws [as the condensation and impact fissioning theories do], many are in conflict with observations [as the fissioning, condensation and impact theories are], and ...
169. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... hence the earthquake. In such circumstances the effects might be expected to be felt not within a definite and specified track (in this case and as almost invariably) from north to south, but as radiating in all directions from a common centre. Again, we can instance the common example of a stone striking and breaking a pane of glass. It causes fissures and fractures in all directions. The Tokio earthquake followed a line of meridian from the north and its area or track was sharply circumscribed along a linear course. I3. The particular characteristics of this earthquake are that it signalised its advent by a sultriness, created a vacuum, was accompanied by fire and electrical or ...
170. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... en morceaux comme verre. ( 'I have come to tell you a great piece of news. We have, Madam, while sleeping, had a narrow escape. A world has passed by us, has fallen across our vortex, and if it had on its way met our Earth, it would have broken it into pieces like glass. ') NEWTON The Renaissance view of life and of the world, which can be summed up by the word mutability, was created by personalities of heroic stamina and required the leadership of such personalities for its preservation, for indeed, it is not easy to live in a world where the only divinity is Fortuna and nothing is ...
