... the word "negative" occurs in this work it means only the electron and does not imply the existence of an opposing or second type of charge. For a time we, like others before us, considered the solar charge to be of positive sign, because of the gradual acceleration of the proton wind as it moves away from the Sun. However, this same phenomenon can be viewed as a flow of ions towards a surrounding region of negative electrical charge. Insofar as solar wind electrons have, if any, only trivial anisotropy in their motion and since detected cosmic-ray ions - which Juergens (1972) has described as the spent wind from the most luminous stars - outnumber ...
332. Saxl's Pendulum Convection of Electric Charge Revisited [Journals] [Aeon]
... theory does not of itself imply that the theory must be thrown away, or replaced by another; unsolved problems are the essence of science, the means by which theories are refined. John Maddox, Nature 320 (17 April, 1986), p.648. Anyone whose work can still predict the motion of the Earth around the Sun to an accuracy of 1 part in 100 million will not be superseded. David Hughes, New Scientist, 4 February 1989, p.67, in a review of Let Newton Be!- John Fauvel, editor. Summary Ginenthal's electro-gravitic theory is seen to be unfounded. The evidence he cites for support has no bearing on the ...
333. The Electric Universe: Slide Presentation & Notes by Wallace Thornhill [Journals] [Aeon]
... by the ESA spacecraft Giotto in March, 1986. The standard theory has it that: "Comets grow tails only when they get warm enough for ice and dust to boil off...[O ]n the [sunward side], jets of gas and dust spurt from active holes in its surface and are illuminated by the sun." [1 ] Thornhill's electrical theory of the same data reads: "The fly-by of Comet Halley didn't show material being boiled away, instead it showed plasma beams centered on craters facing the Sun. What we saw were circular craters being formed right in front of the Giotto cameras- producing the same kind of scarring seen on ...
334. Chapter X: the Solar Temple of Amen-ra At Karnak [Books]
... Chapter X The Solar Temple of Amen-ra At Karnak So much having been premised concerning the early temple- worship of the sun in Egypt and the adjacent countries, and the survival of some of the ideas connected with it down to our own day, I next propose to describe the finest Egyptian solar temple which remains open to our examination- that of Amen-Ra at Karnak. Of the chief solar temples referred to in- a previous chapter, two have passed away; even the orientation of the one at Heliopolis I was only able to determine by the mounds, assuming them to bear the same relation to the temple as other mounds do, and the remaining obelisk. The ...
335. On Saturn At the North Pole [Journals] [Aeon]
... do travel around, don't they? Until we know where that myth originated, it may be premature to say just where it was supposed to have been "always day." From farther out on the eastern hump of South America, it would indeed have been "always day," at least in the sense that Saturn, the Sun of Night, was always visible in the eastern sky. (If that is where Cardona's myth originated, then I am grateful to him for inadvertently providing me with this additional supporting evidence for my model.) Actually, I did not treat either the Counter-Earth or the southern hemisphere as "a place of perpetual shadow"- if ...
336. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... comet; along with discussing this (still at the beginning of the paper) he leaves the suspicion that he would explain away the darkness of Exodus by, perhaps, an eclipse, or possible a very dull day: "It is equally easy to understand how a naïve view of nature would interpret an eclipse of the moon or the sun as an action by a power inimical to light, and the yielding of the darkness as a convincing victory by the great divine lights of heaven over the demons. The more seldom, impressive and lasting this phenomenon, the deeper will be the impression on the mind of the observer. For this reason large comets, on account of ...
337. The Nature of Venus' Heat [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... why the process began. David Morrison and Tobias Owen explain the origin of Venus' runaway greenhouse: The runaway greenhouse is a process through which a planet can fundamentally alter the state of its surface and atmosphere. Imagine what would happen if we could move the Earth into the orbit of Venus. Our planet would suddenly be closer to the Sun at 72% of its present distance. Sunlight would [deliver] about twice as much energy to every square meter of the Earth's surface. Most of the Earth is covered by oceans, so the immediate result would be an increase in [their] temperatures....The increase in temperature would lead to increased evaporation. ...
338. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... anything the data acquired during the last two hundred years has indicated more and more strongly that such ideas are untenable. Despite this such ideas have held, but the holding of these ideas against the ever more contradictory evidence has generated a curious paradox. A new breed of uniformitarians has come into being - super-catastrophic uniformitarians! This breed drives the Sun with nuclear fusion to keep it burning long enough for their slow processes to take place. They blow up stars in violent supernova explosions just to kill off a dinosaur or two (maybe) here on this quiet Earth sailing in the calm backwater of the Solar System. They postulate black holes (or should it be white holes? ...
339. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... no eclipse took place in northern Europe in those years it has become common to suppose Bede borrowed the tradition from a Byzantine source. However, a problem remains as the years between AD 536-545 are defined by a series of narrow tree rings. The most obvious reason for restricted growth during summer months is a dust laden atmosphere – obscuring the sun and its warmth. Hence, we have two opposites – and the mystery deepens as these two are the only eclipses recorded in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle [1 ] (or portentous natural events of any kind). At the SIS Autumn 2004 meeting at Redhill Mike Baillie and Steve Mitchell mentioned a Roman document concerning the Pontiffs (reigns ...
340. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... NOT AVAILABLE Contents Changes in the Times and the Seasons Many agents collaborated to change the climate. Insolation was impaired by heavy clouds of dust, and the radiation of heat from the earth was equally hindered.(1 ) Heat was generated by the earth's contacts with another celestial body; the earth was removed to an orbit farther from the sun; the polar regions were displaced; oceans and seas evaporated and the vapours precipitated as snow on new polar regions and in the higher latitudes in a long Fimbul-winter and formed new ice sheets; the axis on which the earth rotated pointed in a different direction, and the order of the seasons was disturbed. Spring follows winter and fall ...
