... Chronology dates for the XIXth and XXth Dynasties, are applied to the relevant finds. '. In the same SISR, Dayton replied to Bimson saying that, since publishing his book, he had done some further work on chronology. He fully supported Bimson's 500 year down-dating and he made two further points: the Phoenicians did not stop making glass c. 1400BC, then start again c. 800BC; the Etruscans did not leave the Trojan area c. 1150BC and turn up again in Tuscany c. 750BC. Aeneas', he explained, would have been quite an old man by then'. After the fall of the Glasgow Chronology, Bimson added a Postscript in SISR ...
252. The Importance of Outsiders in Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . [Hermann Anschutz-Kaempfe] Christopher Cockerell, inventor of the hovercraft, was an electronics engineer whose hobby was boat-building. His prototype hovercraft (I kid you not) consisted of two coffee tins and an hair-dryer poised on a set of kitchen scales! Two of the leading pioneers of the rayon industry were outsiders, a bank clerk and a glass blower [Count Louis-Marie Hilaire Bernigaud Chardonnet], whilst cellophane was perfected by a dyer [Jacques E. Brandenberger]. Earlier I mentioned George Eastman, the pioneer of modern photography. Colour photography is a product of Rudolph Fischer's Berlin patent of 1912 specifying a 3-layer monopack emulsion, used by all the major film manufacturers today. However ...

... Padi) is obviously more easily read as resh ( 'r'); the yod ( 'i' in Padi) is peculiar since the top part, like the top of the waw, is only very faintly marked and seems to continue on upwards in an s' shape (! ) when viewing the photo with a magnifying glass. Many possible readings might result from proper consideration of alternatives; eg. merely changing dalet to resh results in for Baal and for fruit' - was the jar used for storing the temple's fruit supply? Similar jars in other areas at Ekron also had inscriptions giving their contents (IEJ p. 196 & n. 6). ...

... case, great ropes of writhing hot plasma will preferentially snake across the surface of the moon rather than through the near vacuum of space, as the current heads for its more distant target. A good idea of what it must have looked like can be had if you have seen those plasma ball novelties with the snaking discharges contained in the glass sphere. Only in the case of Ganymede and Europa the ropes would not terminate on the ball but snake around it. PIA01618 shows where two strands come together. In the lower half of the image one strand seems to touch down on the surface and where it meets another diagonal strand, it changes direction to run parallel - a ...

... to carry current." Now the comment, "good conductor" contradicts the statement, "very limited in its ability to carry current." That sentence hung me up so badly it was nearly two weeks before I could go ahead with the book. A "good conductor" carries current easily. Copper is a good conductor. Glass is a very poor conductor. But, what I finally pulled out of this (right or wrong?) was he probably meant that plasma (which by definition is a gas-like entity where the gasses are all ions, protons, or electrons) is nothing but charged particles and they are obviously good conductors. The current handling capacity ...

... images are not the same quasar, nor are they background objects. THE STATE OF THE UNIVERSE- 1999: The universe as we understand it is badly in need of repair and re-evaluation. Observations do not support the theoretical constructs and mathematical ad hocery of expanding universe/Big Bang cosmology. The time has come to take off our doppler-colored glasses and reexamine the pin-points of light beyond the Milky Way.- ACTION AT A DISTANCE Simon Tressman, Wal Thornhill SIMON TRESSMAN asks: I'm not sure if they're still looking for it but the Higgs particle was supposed to explain action at a distance in the quantum world. At least it was after reading The God Particle' by Leon ...

... not had a cometary history since its formation. The many boulders on Eros hint that this is so. Small craters on the Moon were seen by the Apollo astronauts to contain glassy deposits at their centers. They are the equivalent of fulgurites formed by lightning in sand. With luck a close up of the small craters may show evidence of glass. The place to look is the enigmatic light colored filamentary deposits which are reminiscent of the light colored rayed-craters on the Moon. Such rays, Juergens showed, are electrical in origin. Near has made a historic landing on Eros. And 69 detailed pictures were taken during the last 5 kilometres descent. The closest was from a height ...

... , or rilles, on the Moon were formed by water). A report by scientists studying a lunar dust sample remarked upon the large number of small glassy spherules and cylinders. It was their opinion that "they must have been formed free from restraints, perhaps blown from a melt as fine droplets or perhaps as a spray of molten glass; thus they were able to solidify in free flight under influence of surface tension forces. .. it is safe to conjecture that the cylindrical object in its initial molten state was part of a breakup of a thin jet.. A number of the grayish metallic-like spherules exhibit vacuole regions within their otherwise solid interiors.." [ ...

... away, he has a few pre-hominid jaws and skulls in a safe, he said he is not going to publish them until he feels that he is ready, and I have not seen anything on them, but he is one of the people in the world who has written a series of articles on tektites, it's a form of glass meteorite, there is one over there also, and if it's not over there, would the thief give it back that has it in its pocket. But von Königswald gave me a series of about a dozen photographs of what equals life form imprint on these tektites. Now that is interesting because tektites are a sort of a problem ...
260. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... . GENERAL GYROSCOPIC THEORY Gyroscopes have been studied in Germany since the early l800's pioneered by Bohnenberger, in England pioneered by Lang in the l830's and in France pioneered in the l850's by Foucault. To date, so far as we know, all gyros that have been studied have been "solid" gyros, made of wood, perhaps of glass, plastic or metal. The one exception is a that of a liquid gyro, liquid-fueled missiles. Boeing scientists discovered that guidance systems for their missiles failed unless an entirely new set of equations was introduced, because liquid fuels in a rotating missile did not behave like solid fuels. The difference is at the molecular level. When a ...
