... inferred that an age of purple darkness never existed. Ultraviolet is absorbed and rendered invisible by the lens of the human eye. People who have had the lens removed can see UV, calling it blue or violet. [40] Some young people can detect UV as far toward the extreme short waves as 3130 Å, but require special glasses to focus the faint images. [41] At least one species of fish has vision in UV to 3130 Å. [42] If this is attributable to the chemistry and structure of the lens, and if it were possible to duplicate this lens and surgically implant it in a person who has lost the normal lens, the ...
242. The Holy Land [Books]
... habitation was the same enclosure as the lost paradise, and the identity persists in Hebrew and Muslim thought, which continually associates Adam's paradise with a cosmic Jerusalem. The light of the Jerusalem above was provided by God himself. "And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure fold, like unto glass." (56) One of the Psalms glorifies the celestial Jerusalem as "Sublime in elevation in the uttermost north .. . the City of the King." (57) The heavenly city lay at the cosmic centre; it was the first thing created by God; and it was surrounded by the primeval sea. The ...
243. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... Earth. The million tongues of shining f lame speak not in vain to him who heeds; f or "there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard". From this flood of speech we learn the great lesson of the universe: all worlds are made alike. With this lesson plainly announced, I turn my glass to the skies and see innumerable worlds in a molten or igneous condition, and I am forced to concede the Fact that this Fiery state is one stage in the great plan of world-making, and that Earth was once also a fiery star, a flaming sun. When by chance my eyes behold a world whose flames are dim, ...

... and would also have been subject to electrical scarring. I predict that when closeups of Europa are available in December, the so-called cracks in the ice will be found to be electric discharge channels with the raised levees on either side and the dark-light-dark cross section caused by discharge modification of the excavated material. (In the manner of the green glass beads formed from the melted soil excavated by an electric discharge along the lunar rilles). The "cracks" on Europa show no lateral displacement where they intersect, though displacement would be expected if they were due to shifting ice. Discharge channels will throw material from the younger channel into the older where they intersect. Cracks should not ...

... collecting rod showed positive electrification when he first grounded it and then raised it a few feet in the air. When he discharged it to the ground while holding it in the upper position and then lowered it, it showed negative electrification. After he placed a ball over the collecting rod- even after he placed the entire apparatus inside a sealed glass tube- and found the same results, he concluded, correctly, that the effects observed were due to electrical induction from a negatively charged earth (9 ). Erman's findings were derided, then promptly forgotten, even though only one year later two balloonists were mystified, when their collector and electroscope gathered only negative charge from high-level air, ...

... lightning vapourized the ice to blast it outwards and form the levees. We are looking at a clean bed of ice at the bottom of the channel. The colouration of the levees may come from shock heating and rapid cooling of the ice and any resulting chemical changes in dissolved or suspended material. (The same mechanism that formed the green glass beads found near rilles on the Moon). The larger furrows stand out as much more deeply coloured than their surroundings. So it may be that the electric discharges that created them were sufficiently intense to cause nucleosynthesis in the form of the conversion of oxygen atoms (from the water) to sulphur. Elemental sulphur takes many colours ranging ...

248. Back to Instantaneous Polar Shifts [Journals] [Aeon]
... under discussion, we would have to simulate an Earth-like gyroscope in a laboratory and note its behaviour when subjected to an impulsive torque- difficult, but not impossible. I would therefore suggest to Salkeld that he try the following experiment: Construct a perfectly balanced hollow sphere (in order not to have a preferential rotational axis) of metal, glass, or Plexiglas. Pour inside the sphere a small quantity (let's say around 10-15% of the available volume) of a viscous substance- something of the same consistency of honey. Then pour a comparable quantity of a lighter fluid substance. Utilizing an electric motor and a sucking-disk applied to the sphere, rotate the globe rapidly about ...

... to be holes where pebbles have been dislodged, said rover scientist Henry Moore of the U.S . Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif. However, the "problem of the pebbles," as Moore called it, is far from solved. They could have been rounded during a flood, he said, or formed from melted glass thrown into the air during a fiery meteor impact, cooling into globules as they hit the ground. They could even be splatters from ancient volcanoes. "It's going to take a long time to figure out what we've seen," he said. "[ But] I think we're looking at conglomerates." Another Martian mystery- concerning ...

... : "We will give Thee our children as bondsmen." God: "Well, then, these are good bondmen, on whose bond I will give you the Torah." Hereupon the Israelites brought their wives with their babes at their breasts, and their pregnant wives, and God made the bodies of the pregnant women transparent as glass, and He addressed the children in the womb with these words: "Behold, I will give your fathers the Torah. Will you be surety for them that they will observe it?" They answered: "Yea." He furthermore said: "I am your God." They answered: "Yea." " ...
