... phallus consist of? Clearly it was not a human construction, and over the last few years various theories have been put forward to explain it. Most plausibly, it has been suggested that the earth's close encounter with the mighty comet recalled in the Typhon and Phaethon stories had electro-magnetically recharged' the planet, and that the tower was a plasma funnel of electrical energy that became visible at the poles (inhabitants of the northern hemisphere would of course only have seen the funnel emanating from the North Pole). This certainly seems to be a reasonable supposition, as much other tradition about the Flood cataclysm speaks of unusual electrical phenomena (the thunderbolts of the gods) in the immediate ...

... in my Protest'. Harry E Mongold, Manhattan, Illinois, USA Ball Lightning Dear Sir, Dr Yoshi-Hiko Ohtsuki (Waseda University, Tokyo) has made ball lightning in a plasma-creation chamber, using strong microwave radiation. As reported in Mutant Ninja Circles' (The Economist, 17th Aug. 1991, pp. 74-5), these plasma balls: - "show some of natural ball lightning's curious quantum gymnastics: movement into wind, a tendency to hover near electrical conductors, and ghostlike passage through non-conducting solids. .. when the balls touch down on a tray of aluminium powder - a crude substitute for field crops - they left ringed circles, miniatures of a shape ...
103. On Cosmic Electrical Charges [Books] [de Grazia books]
... flares. These ions make the Earth's task Sisyphean: it accretes electrons only to be forced also to take in electron-deficient ions that are hungry as well for the electrons. An examination of the electrospheres present in the Solar System [117] reveals a "shielding" that protects the charged planets, for they are immersed in a flow of plasma, which must remain close to charge-neutrality. In the plasma, the local differences between electron and ion densities is small, as it is in a metallic conductor through which an electric current flows. Hence in some proportional fashion the small quantity of incident electrons from the Galaxy are distributed to all of the bodies within the cavity by way ...

... square of the distance. Thus, in a vacuous interplanetary medium, or even in a medium of neutral atomic or molecular gases, planetary charges must give rise to electric fields detectable by their influences upon planetary motions. In an interplanetary medium consisting of ionized gas, however, things are radically different. One of the primary characteristics of a plasma has up to now received little or no attention from astronomers. This is its ability to shield itself from the electric field of any body in contact with it, or contained within it, and charged to an electric potential different from that of the plasma itself. The mechanism by which such shielding is accomplished was named the space-charge sheath ...
105. The Mechanism Of Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... Weismann could show that acquired traits are not inheritable. Actually, he did not prove that much: the loss of tails by cutting is not a habit or trait acquired through usage or need. It was Weismann who really disproved Darwin's pangenesis theory, not Lamarck, but he properly stressed that the carriers of heriditary traits are in the germ plasma, or in spermatozoa and ova; the soma, or the body, is created in each successive generation by the germs plasma, and only changes in the plasma are inheritable. The chance variations of Darwin are such changes in the germ plasma and are therefore inherited; the response of the body to external agents would not create inheritable ...
106. The Critics and Stellar Energy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... much too high. Juergens arrived (ten years ago) at a current of 1015A by assuming that only protons follow the solar wind outwards from the sun, while the velocity of electrons is negligible. As we know today, protons and electrons travel in the same direction, although some difference in velocity may exist, giving rise to a plasma current. It should he noted that in most of the literature on the solar system, the net electric current is assumed to be zero everywhere is the plasma. However, the theoretical results of conventional astrophysics are not so impressive that we should accept everything that is common usage. When Nobel laureate Alfvén rejected what he called "the ...
107. Thoth Vol II, No. 2: January 31 , 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... : I have a couple of comments and questions intended primarily for Wal: I finally got a break in my work load and read Lerner's __ The Big Bang Never Happened_. (I've put it off for several years because of the impression I got that it was largely a "fundamentalist atheist" tract.) The info on plasma physics was exciting, as were his ideas on cosmology and the three modes of evolution. Now I've got to read Prigogine's work on the second law of thermodynamics. (That takes me back to the question no one would discuss with me in college: How can the second law, defined only for closed systems, be assumed to ...

... of gravitation which emanate from the sun and the planets.² [WT] The last statement is only true if the assumption that G is constant, is true. In the electric universe model it is not. Anything that transfers charge to or from the Moon or Earth, such as coronal mass ejections or the brushing past of the plasma tail of Venus, will change G from its mean value. In a fixed G cosmology, all such fluctuations will appear inexplicable. No.22 ³The tails of comets do not obey the principle of gravitation and are repelled by the sun. ŒThere is beyond question some profound secret and mystery of nature concerned in the phenomenon of their ...
109. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... , only a few days before his death, when he learned that the planet Jupiter emits radio signals [81]- which Velikovsky himself had predicted. It was too late for Einstein to do anything about it, but not too late for those that came after him- and the textbooks, once again, had to be rewritten. Plasma Cosmology Astrophysicists now believe that 99.9 percent of the Universe is made up of plasma. [82] Cometary tails are now known to be composed of plasma. [83] Our own Solar System is encased in a magnetic bubble, known as the heliosphere, that contracts and expands "like a colossal jellyfish." [ ...

... stably of unobserved particles simply because a theory of invisible, super- heavy objects demands it is asking too much! Here are some of the many unstated assumptions underpinning the X-ray pulsar model: 1. It is assumed that the physics of neutral matter and ideal gases on Earth can be used to explain the operation of the glowing balls of plasma we call stars. Wal: 99.999% of the universe is made of plasma. It is not necessarily electrically neutral and does not behave like an ideal gas. 2. It is assumed that all interstellar plasma is mostly an ionized, uncharged, superconducting gas that can trap and carry magnetic fields. Wal: Plasma is ...

... expected or predicted under the model. Our claim, of course, is that all of archetypal mythology arose from the same core experiences of the human race and that substratum of ancient memories is highly unified. Scholarly and Scientific Outreach. Perhaps our greatest progress over the past year resulted from liaison with such distinguished experts as astronomer Halton Arp, plasma cosmologist Tony Peratt, and geologist Robert Schoch. Our plan is to expand and accelerate such liaison in the coming months as we look ahead to the July world conference. In this regard, we will welcome suggestions from readers. We are seeking to identify uniquely open-minded researchers with the highest qualifications in these areas of interest: cosmology, ...
112. Symbols of an Alien Sky: Part II [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Symbols of an Alien Sky: Part II DAVE TALBOTT continues his talk on Symbols of an Alien Sky (Part II). Unfortunately his talk moved so fast with so many interesting new ideas, that I was unable to take down many notes. Dave starts talking about plasmas, and how they try to reduce their electrical stress; in plasma streamers, they can do this by forming symmetrical patterns, so that three streamers will form a tri-form symmetry, etc. The Saturn Model has the planets Earth, Mars, Venus and Saturn (in that order) in a colinear arrangement (basically a straight line ...

... nuclear fusion, so the majority of astronomers support the hypothesis that the sun is a gravitating fusion factory, with a few magnetic anomalies that still need to be explained (new worries: where are those missing neutrinos?) The Electric Universe is no different. We're taking a concept that's become familiar (the behavior of electrical forces in a plasma lab) and testing how well they apply to those tiny specks of light in the sky, the moon, planets, stars, galaxies and beyond. This paradigm is exciting. It holds the promise of explaining hot coronas and missing neutrinos, craters and rilles, human mythology, and maybe even galactic redshift. It's worth exploring, ...
114. Remarks on TV Series To Feature Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... typical objections to the Saturn model based on mainstream physical theory. Let me give you just one of many examples. When the European SOHO satellite, just a few months ago, unexpectedly encountered a comet-tail of Venus (extending almost to the Earth), astronomers were more than a little puzzled. To put it bluntly, this highly structured plasma tail defies all conventional theory. What astonished scientist's about the now-invisible or remnant-tail of Venus was the apparent structure, which they called "stringy things." On the conventional model, there can be no such structure in a tail constituted from plasma simply "blowing in the (solar) wind." The discovered structure requires the flow ...
115. Electric Discharge as the Source of Solar Radiant Energy (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... potential should be uniform in all directions within a few light-years of the Sun (13a) On this basis we could assume that most particles of matter indigenous to this region- neutral atoms and molecules, positive ions, and electrons- move in essentially random directions. The gas comprising these particles ought to behave as a thin, weakly ionized plasma. It would follow, then, that the electrons eligible for capture by and participation in the solar discharge would be those whose random motions caused them to encounter the fringes of the electric field in the cathode drop of the discharge. The number of such electrons would be determined by the density of free electrons in space, the kinetic ...
116. Our Electric Sun [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Our Electric Sun Don Scott DON SCOTT is a professor of Electrical Engineering, and became interested in the idea of an electrical sun after reading an article in Industrial Research magazine by Ralph Juergens, on plasmas; the Sun is a plasma (cloud of ionized gas), there are ionized particles (hydrogen ions) in space, but astronomers say this can't happen. But it appears that stars and galaxies tend to form strings: Birkeland currents, with stars being formed where the Z-pinch effect occurs [see "Electromagnetic collapse, problems of stability, emission of radiation and evolution of a dense ...

... stage, much of it is visual, an artists' rendition that precedes the mathematical development. See? If you think of the galaxy as an electrical circuit, the images fall into place: they're echoed on every scale, from lightning scars on Earth to arachnoid webs on Venus to the icy patchwork of Europa. The phenomena found in plasma labs provide a visual connection between comet tails, coronal mass ejections, machined craters, planetary nebulae, and galactic jets. In the behavior of the comet Shoemaker-Levi-9 you can see a mini-version of the polar configuration and its break-up. The math is in progress. If history can be used to predict the future, I expect that the ...

119. Electromagnetic Interference From Meteor Showers [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... June 1998 Andrew Yee <ayee@nova.astro.utoronto.ca> wrote: "It is possible," Ailor told the subcommittee, "that some satellites will be damaged, but the most likely source of damage will not be from a rock blasting a hole in a satellite, but rather, from the creation of a plasma, or free electric charge on the spacecraft. The charge could cause damage to computers and other sensitive electronic circuits on board the spacecraft, and ultimately cause the spacecraft to fail. For example," Ailor said, "during the 1993 Perseid meteor shower, it was determined that the Olympus communications satellite was damaged by a meteor strike ...

... treatment he has seen of the cosmological theories of Hannes Alfven in the conventional press. He certainly gets a sympathetic hearing even though, it is stressed, astrophysicists will have nothing to do with him. The reason for this is clear: Alfven believes that electric forces operate to shape our Universe at least as much as gravity does. Now plasma physicists like Alfven have first-hand experimental evidence of the power of electric currents on plasmas: astrophysicists deny such forces are in any way as effective as gravity in the cosmos, and some have gone so far as to dismiss Alfven's ideas as just silly'. Eric J. Lerner, writing for Discover, has himself done research in the ...

... is that the thunderbolts thus referred to and depicted were not luminous streamers akin to atmospheric lightning, but luminous "objects" of missile-like proportions. If so, it seems likely that such thunderbolts were of the nature of the plasmoids described some years ago by Winston Bostick of Stevens Institute of Technology (4 ). These objects-"pieces of plasma" with "unexpected capacity for maintaining their identity" --were fired from the electrodes of a "plasma gun." They emerged from the gun in doughnut form, then expanded axially to form long cylinders. When fired into a thin gas, they bent themselves double and twisted into forms resembling screws. This suggests, if we are ...
122. Thoth Vol I, No. 16: June 15, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , COSMIC NIGHT, an introduction to the "Saturn theory," supplemented by a summary of the "electric universe," all designed for the general reader. The book will review the global memory of the Golden Age and the world-changing catastrophe that brought that unique period of human history to its catastrophic conclusion. It will also show how plasma physics enables us to understand these events dynamically, in ways that can be replicated in the laboratory. Processes that have mystified astronomers and planetary geologists need not remain obscure any longer.- Date: Mon, 02 Jun 1997 12:14:03 -0400 (EDT) From: Benny J Peiser Subject: LOUIS FRANK'S MINI COMETS STIR ...

... Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents Miscellaneous Cometary Venus BBC documentary Planetarium programs Radiocarbon dating The April, 1972, issue of Cosmic Electrodynamics carried a paper by Max K. Wallis entitled, "CometLike Interactions of Venus with the Solar Wind." Wallis (department of plasma physics, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) contends that two characteristics of a cometary atmosphere apply also to the plasma flow past Venus. Namely, ionization processes, in adding mass to the plasma flow, 1) cause interaction over an extended region, with a gradual change in flow parameters, and 2) eliminate, or at ...
124. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Venus can also be accommodated. On the electrical scheme, orbital eccentricity would seem to be the key to comet behavior. A highly elliptical orbit carries the nucleus, or central aggregation of comet matter, in and out of regions of varying electrical characteristics. Like a planet, the comet nucleus is an isolated probe immersed in the Sun's discharge plasma (Cf. KRONOS II, No. 3, p. 26). As it travels, then, it grows and sheds sheaths as necessary to adapt to its immediate environment. Along the outer parts of an orbit, travel is leisurely, and adaptation is easy. At perihelion passage, on the other hand, the nucleus ...
125. The Origin And Evolution Of Stars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as described above. Because of its relatively small mass, at instability the difference between the inward pull of gravity and counter centrifugal force aided by internal atomic forces is much smaller. Therefore, only the surface of this minute body will mass be ejected. Only a minute fraction of the surface layer of collapsed matter is shed as super hot plasma into surrounding space. This process reduces the mass of the black hole, but only by a very small amount. The singularity is still rotating at immense velocity with a minutely reduced surface gravity thus permitting centrifugal force to rip away additional layers of collapsed matter. Once this process commences, it builds to a climax of expelling layer after ...
