... : 3; "The Identity of Typhon" by John Bimson- a most interesting essay which should provoke further discussion; "The Cosmology of Job" by Martin Sieff which is an attempt to identify specific planetary bodies hitherto thought to be constellations. Sieff's article, in particular, is a major pioneering effort; a Review Extra by Ralph Juergens- "Galactic Space Charge and Stellar Energy"- raises some key questions about the nature of the Sun and the whole subject of cosmic electrical energy. Book Reviews of "Peoples of the Sea" and "The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record" constitute only a part of the additional material. A future issue of the S. ...

253. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... need of attention. Forbidden Science is worth a read, even though it falls well short of the claims made for it, but be warned that it will irritate as much as it will enlighten - and some of the promised inspiration will feel more like exasperation.

... runs up hill and down dale without apparent disturbance, there are no outwash deposits at either end - and there is a second, even more sinuous valley meandering along its floor, dotted with small craterlets. Wal pointed out that the Moon has similar, smaller valleys, notably Schroter's Valley, and argued that (following the ideas of Ralph Juergens) these are not eroded valleys but sinuous rilles, channels created by electrical discharges. He argued that these are clear evidence that the surface has been bombarded by massive cosmic thunderbolts. What did the Astronomy article have to say about this? It claimed that valleys like Hildr were almost certainly formed from surface erosion by hot runny lava' ...
255. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Wal prefaced his talk with a quote from Heraclitus, c. 500BC; It is the thunderbolt that steers the universe'. He mentioned the pioneering work of Dr Charles Bruce, who in 1941 identified cosmic jets, solar flares, magnetic fields and high temperatures as electrical discharge phenomena, and who is still ignored today; also Ralph Juergens, who regarded the Sun as a giant ball of lightning and not, as is generally accepted, a nuclear reactor. Wal's research has led him to consider that Earth was originally part of one balanced electrical system; the cosmic catastrophes of myth being caused by this system interacting with that of the Sun. Our present, apparent stability ...

... is not quite apparent, since the mascons are generally held to indicate that the interior of the moon cannot be molten. I am sure that Velikovsky would argue that the mascons, far from disproving his thesis, are further products of the catastrophes described in Worlds in Collision and of earlier events of the same type.

257. Mammoth Update: A Reply to Ellenberger (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... has not been explained. The main point for this discussion is that if the samples tested were uncontaminated then the radiocarbon age depends on the analytical method used. In an attempt to deal with the range and extreme age of the radiocarbon dates for mammoths, John White used a suggestion provided by this writer(52) which derived from Ralph Juergens' article on radiohalos in KRONOS III:1 .( 53) The idea goes as follows. If the radioactive decay of carbon-14 were accelerated by the altered electrification of the Earth resulting from a cosmic discharge,(54) and if the effect varied with the distance from the hypocenter of the discharge, then - assuming an interplanetary ...

259. The Venus "Greenhouse Theory" --Debunked [Journals] [Kronos]
... . 101]. As we have seen . . ., the heat liberated in the Earth's crust makes no significant contribution to its surface climate, and the oceanic depths are cold. Nor is there any indication that things are significantly different on the other terrestrial planets." So Firsoff found the answer, then rejected it as unthinkable. Juergens, too, has pointedly summed up the fundamental weaknesses of the Venus greenhouse theory. "As of today, two of the most important postulates of the greenhouse model- sunlight of consequence reaching the surface of Venus, and water vapor of detectable quantities in the lower atmosphere of the planet- remain questionable. And there is another problem, seldom ...
260. Sagan's Appendices: A Quick Appendectomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... " KRONOS II:2 , November, 1976, p. 28; see also R. A. Lyttleton, The Comets and Their Origin, Cambridge, 1953, p. 13, Fig. 3). For additional commentary on the circularization problem, the reader is referred to pages 82 and 99 in the articles by Greenberg and Juergens, respectively, elsewhere in this issue. Sagan concluded Appendix Four with irrelevant remarks about rock magnetization. More relevant comments about magnetic field reversals and the remanent magnetic field evidence in rocks can be found in Earth in Upheaval, "Magnetic Poles Reversed" and a forthcoming paper by Ralph Juergens-"Geogullibility and Geomagnetic Reversals". Overall, ...
261. Asimov In Confusion [Journals] [Kronos]
... of Worlds in Collision titled "The Origin of the Planetary System", Velikovsky was explicitly referring to "existing cosmological theories", particularly the nebular and tidal theories (Cf. W in C, pp. 10-12). Concerning Asimov's remarks on hydrocarbons and Venus' atmosphere, see pages 42 and 113 in the articles by Velikovsky and Juergens elsewhere in this issue. A final point of interest: Despite its obvious scientific errors, despite the repudiations by Sagan, "Worlds in Confusion" heads the bibliographical list found at the end of Scientists Confront Velikovsky (p .179). How reliable, then, is the remainder of the anti-Velikovsky literature on that list, especially ...
262. Addenda Et Corrigenda ... [Journals] [Kronos]
... the findings of Holzworth and Mozer lend credence to the proposed mechanism. The Berkeley scientists reported that the enhanced electric field caused "a dramatic increase in worldwide thunderstorm activity," possibly due to "more efficient electrical connection" between the troposphere and the ionosphere" and "enhanced polarisation of water droplets in the cloud."

263. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... If these craters had been caused by impacts, surely the asteroids would have been destroyed. Is this electrical arcing the phenomenon that was interpreted as the "thunderbolts" that raged between the gods (planets) as described in ancient myths? Do Birkeland Currents Power the Stars? A corollary to Thornhill's Electric Universe is a theory that engineer Ralph Juergens originated concerning the mechanism that powers the Sun. Following in Juergen's path, Donald Scott contends that present mainstream astronomy is attempting to ignore the data that contradicts their accepted "nuclear fusion" model. Scott suggests that both the Polar Configuration and the Electric Universe hypothesis are strongly supported by research in the field of plasma science. Galaxies Form ...

... are not determined by seasons, but by water and growing periods. How did proto-Saturn warm its southern pole as effectively as it warmed the north polar region? One possibility is a large enveloping atmosphere... but this might hinder man's view of proto-Saturn (although maybe there was a hole in the atmosphere). In 1976, Ralph Juergens suggested that the proto-Saturnian system may have been surrounded by a plasma-sheath [Dec 19, 1976, private communiqué]. In 1981, Roger Ashton suggested that the "plasma bubble" may have had an opaque surface [R . Ashton to C. J. Ransom, Sept 8, 1981, private communiqué, cc to D. ...

... the better guide. Malcolm Lowery Editor/SIS Review TO ESCAPE OR NOT TO ESCAPE: THE 71% FACTOR To the Editor of KRONOS: The rebuttals to Carl Sagan in KRONOS III:2 (1977) regarding the escape of Venus from Jupiter contained an error that should be acknowledged. Velikovsky [pp.32-33], followed by Juergens [p .84], claimed that a reduction to 71% of escape velocity would enable Venus to escape Jupiter but not the Sun and thus be retained in the Solar System. Even Crew invoked this reasoning.(l ) In this context, however, the 71% factor is used incorrectly. What has been overlooked by ...
269. Rocks From Where? [Journals] [Horus]
... there should be. The problem is how to explain it, because prevailing notions of the probable mechanisms cannot reconcile the fact that the material suffered enough of an impact to be accelerated to the required escape velocity, but maintained its structure in spite of the shock. A more likely context, in a Velikovskian scenario, was provided by Ralph Juergens years before these meteorites were found and analyzed. [Pensee IX and X, 1974]. If some 2700 years ago the Moon and Mars participated in electromagnetic interactions of cosmic proportions, witnessed from Earth and preserved in myth and legend, many surface features of both bodies can be explained readily. Current theories about the origin of these ...
270. Saturn And Voyager [Journals] [Kronos]
... ). This feature is greater than one-quarter of Mimas' diameter. Is this structure an anode feature comparable to Olympus Mons of Mars? On Dione A there are dark areas and rayed craters which could be cathode spots. The satellite Tethys has a great canyon, 800 km long, reminiscent of the much larger Vallis Marinaris of Mars. Juergens has described this latter canyon in electrical terms. On tiny Tethys and Mimas the canyon and peaked hill are very great structures indeed, representing for their parent body much larger cataclysmic scars than their Martian homologs. The polar twilight haze observed above Titan as a thickening of its already smoggy atmosphere may add to the electrical evidence, especially if ...

But if interplanetary electric discharges may be considered natural phenomena with driving potentials upward of 100 billion volts, they would appear capable of accelerating heavy ions to energies quite adequate to produce a variety of radioactive isotopes at "cathode" impact sites.
