... person; though I heard rumors of one deal that he put through which gave me the ghost of a doubt about the matter. ' Or, `Judging by their red shift, quasars are among the most distant objects in the universe, and I tend to believe this to be the truth of the matter; but the intensity of ... radio signals reaching us from them tells somewhat against this view, particularly as alternative theories which might account for the red shift have been proposed."14 At this rate, Feyerabend's objection seems not to stand; though one could wish that it was clearer, from Popper's own account, that falsification or corroboration is apt to be a gradual ...

"When the solid earth shell is displaced the depth of the ocean floor shifted from lower to higher ... would be suddenly reduced so that a region for red clay rises into the level for accumulation of Globigerina ooze and a lamina of Globigerina ooze is laid on until it gradually sinks back to below 4,000 meters depth with resumption to normal depth and the deposition of red clay continues."(16) Ma, it should be noted ...

... , the stars in their billions continue this cleansing and nearly complete this dust removal process toward the end of the cycle. A further action involves the increase of mostly old red stars in the galactic nucleus which causes it to expand. As we saw with spiral barred galaxies, the central galactic body eventually absorbed most of the gas, dust ... the sources with respect to the Earth. But for this to be valid, the source must be moving toward the Earth at nearly the speed of light and their light shifts should be toward the blue end of the spectrum. Halton Arp explains the dilemma: "The necessary rationalization finally adopted [to explain away faster than light motions] ...

In short, the thesis was put forward that the mythology of the world's great heroes commemorated- at least in part- the ancient appearance and activities of the red planet in relation to its celestial neighbors. If the ancients' identification of Heracles with the planet Mars has a rational basis it will provide us with an invaluable foundation ... a tree, yea, a bulrush in mid-current.

... 6,000 or even 5,000 years." (22) Three hundred years earlier, Edmund Halley had suggested making longitudinal studies of the saline buildup of the Red Sea in order to measure the accretion rate and thus determine the age of our planet- this procedure, he was sure, would demonstrate the falsity of James Usher's ... about 500 years out of step with reality. For Velikovsky it was an easy choice. He naturally assumed the Jewish sequence to be correct. But to make any major shift in one period entailed making numerous others all along the chronological continuum. And Egypt would not be the only country affected, since all non-Mesopotamian and non-Israelite histories, lacking ...

... fiery ether tore away huge stones and masses from the Earth and heated them to incandescence to create the stars. He said that the Sun was not a god but a red hot mass many times larger than the Peloponnesus. More importantly, he held that pieces of the stones still in space fell upon the Earth as meteorites.
