... 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 ...

... dominant role in the evolution of the universe. It is likely that without these fields the planets would not have formed and even galaxies or protogalaxies may never have developed from the more tenuous primeval gas." Magnetoplasma makes up practically all of the Universe that is not of rigid or non-conducting bodies. 5. Krinov (1966) 125-65; Glass (1969); Rich (1978). 6. Lowery, Kronos (1977); Velikovsky (1950) 143-5, 148-9, 159-60, 169, 301; Bimson (1977) 9; Ovid, Book II; Fontenrose (1959); and cf. Index below. 7. Velikovsky (1950), 141. ...
263. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appears to have flourished between ancient Sumer and Harappa in the Indus Valley more than 4,000 years ago. Objects made of chlorite, a dark stone, are covered in unfamiliar iconography including strange scorpion men, women kneeling between horned animals and monumental buildings resembling ziggurats. In Arabia an archaeological site is heavily littered with pottery, metal and glass and could be an Iron Age settlement, although there are no signs of buried structures which would indicate the presence of buildings. Was it simply a long term camp site? A row of stone houses, dated as 7,000 years old, have been found on an island off Abu Dhabi. In Libya evidence is emerging of ...

... by events into a charismatic leader. OPENING AND CLOSING THE WATERS "And the waters of the Red Sea divided, and not they alone, but all the water in heaven and on earth, in whatever vessel it was, in cisterns, in wells, in caves, in casks, in pitchers, in drinking cups, and in glasses, and none of these waters returned to their former estate until Israel had passed through the sea on dry land."[31] The legend makes a point. The earth tilted in its attraction' to the passing comet. The Almagest sky map of the astronomer Ptolemy shows a bit of sky to the south unseen today and ...
... other hand argon-40 is also an indication that Venus' atmosphere is young. Argon-40 is a decay product of radioactive potassium-40. Therefore, over time argon-40 should increase in amount to levels comparable to the argon-40 levels found on the Earth if Venus is as old as the Earth. But, interestingly this is not the case. Billy P. Glass in Introduction to Planetary Geology, (NY 1982), p. 314 informs us that, "the ratio of the mass of radiogenic 40 Ar [Argon-40] to the mass of Venus is smaller by amount, a factor of 15 than the value for the Earth. Since 40Ar within a planet increases with time due to radioactive ...

... to think about what you might do and where, but give me feedback and encouragement and I'll do better next time. Cordially yours, Alfred Martin Sieff came like a whirlwind, and came again not much later, a short, dark counterpart of Peter James, a comic book buff, friendly and grateful, darting brown eyes through heavy glasses, missing nothing, spewing out accounts of college days at Oxford, the dire internal politics of Israel, the latest bombing of his Belfast newspaper, the psychology of Velikovsky, the girls of Long Island-Belfast-Jerusalem, the personalities of the cosmic heretics of Britain, the confusion of the British Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (" Nothing at all like ...

... of carrier liquid (such as water or oil) containing magnetic particles only 10 nanometers, or billionths of a meter, in diameter. The particles are coated with a surfactant to keep them dispersed. Lorenz applied the magnetic fields to ferrofluids in a Hele-Shaw cell, where flows are constrained to two dimensions in a small gap between two parallel glass disks. By running a typical experiment in reverse order, he unexpectedly coaxed a ferrofluid to "undergo something analogous to a phase change," Zahn said, resulting in the unexpected pattern. "It was the first time this had ever been observed," said Zahn, the Thomas and Gerd Perkins Professor of Electrical Engineering. No ...

... passing close by, will disorder the Earth's electromagnetic field. Also, were the Earth to change its orbital position, it would behave like a comet, with a flaring electric tail representing electrical transactions with the unaccustomed medium of passage. The most enthusiastic students of terrestrial magnetic changes are the exponents and developers of continental drift. Prof.Billy Glass once told the author that what convinced him of continental drift was paleomagnetic measurements. These generally are held to correlate positively bands of rock, moving away from the central Atlantic ridge, with time; the older rocks are farther from the ridge. Not only do the magnetic measurements depend upon geochronometry but also upon uniformitarianism, because it is ...

... the alterations of fine pyroclastics in the sea and to set up criteria for recognition of the alteration products formed under the full range of environmental conditions." (I proposed such procedures for heavy combustion products in many archaeological levels, exemplified in the "Burnt City"of Troy IIg). The Worzel ash consists of colorless shards of volcanic glass without sorting by particle size. "In all important respects it is similar to material which has been classified as volcanic ash in the deep-sea deposits of the world." Analysis of the surrounding sediment in the Worzel cores indicates that the bottom waters "must have contained some oxygen" and that the sediments "probably represent no more than ...

... Newgrosh refers back to the Miller experiment, for a crucial detail that has long gone unnoticed. Miller wrote: "During the run the water in the flask became noticeably pink after the first day, and by the end of the week the solution was deep red and turbid. Most of the turbidity was due to colloidal silica from the glass. The red color is due to organic compounds absorbed on the silica." To conclude, electric discharges between the intruder and Earth synthesized organic compounds in the cometary gases, including an edible component and an inedible red silicate that showered down to color the Earth and water a turbid red. Newgrosh adds, "being organic compounds, ...
