... the time of Wang Mang, c. 23 AD. The book has been republished recently and is called Journey to the West. It contains much compelling mythological material in its 4 volumes. 2nd Brains Trust Chair: D Salkeld Panel W Thornhill, E Cochrane, D Cardona, T Palmer Q1. The geological process of chalk formation and mountain building takes millions of years. Were these affected by Velikovsky's last catastrophe of around 3,500 years ago? Also, how could these processes have carried on for millions of years under the influence of Saturn? Wal Thornhill said Earth has always been considered effectively as a closed system but now we may contemplate the possibility of a lot ...

... any sudden change and resorts to a glib dependence upon natural selection to bring organisms through periods of 6000 years with grossly disturbed metabolism and infertility (sic). The days of Lysenko are, it seems, long gone. Mercifully, the chapter on glaciations does not trot out the Milankovitch theory, but, after considerations of the effects of mountain building and changes in solar radiation, reflects upon the importance of carbon dioxide levels. It is a pleasant change to read of lowered levels leading to an ice-age after all the fuss about positive greenhouse effects'. Rezanov thinks that the role of volcanism has been underestimated and points out a causal connection between periods of intense volcanism and the ...

... than conventionally assumed (about 100,000 years rather than 4,000 million years) the split up of the original super-continent, Pangaea, was caused by the stresses due to build up of huge ice caps at its poles and this occurred (ending the ice age) around 10,000 years ago ice cap forces were responsible for mountain building coal, oil and fossils were formed by sudden deep burial of plants and animals in the resulting upheavals the re-adjustments required to restore horizontal and vertical isostasy are evident as continental drift the conventional geological and fossil "succession" reflect sequences of burial, rather than of time, and Darwinian evolution is incapable of explaining the formation of life ...

... him as a proponent of a catastrophist viewpoint, struggling aqainst a uniformitarian paradigm in contemporary geology. They fail to realize that he is fundamentally opposed to essentially all geology (whether called uniformitarian, catastrophist, or phrased in terms of more contemporary concepts) because of the absurdly short time scales that he would assign to such fundamental geological processes as mountain building, continental motion, and changes in the Earth's rotation and magnetic field. While some of his ideas sound seductive when phrased in qualitative, popular prose, they contradict by many orders of magnitude all we know about geological time scales. Another irrelevant issue raised by May concerns the concept of Venus as a comet. If he wishes ...

... normal rates by a factor of one hundred or more. On a much different scale and time frame, there are disturbances or revolutions of mountainbuilding proportions that are not abrupt but take place over extended intervals of time. Whereas individual orogenic phases' may be very brief, the term "revolution" is commonly reserved for rather long periods of mountain building. Major orogenies (e .g . the Allegheny or Laramidd in North America and the Caledonian in Europe) have been used to separate geologic periods thereby placing emphasis on catastrophism (Harbaugh, 1969). These pulsations, as they have been called (Grabau, 1940; Umbgrove, 1950), may be arranged in megacycles ...

33. The Capture of Luna (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... material has descended upon our Earth in a tremendous cataclysm. And then a new asatellitic age will begin, in which any survivors of the great cataclysm can recuperate. The Age of Luna, or the Age of the Quaternary Satellite, will be the last of the geological periods of our Earth. After its end there will be no more mountain building, only a general slow wearing down of what had been built in the past. It is obvious that after an asatellitic aeon of enormous duration the planet Mars will come in close proximity to the Earth. But the Earth will be too weak to capture the powerful neighbour. At the conjunctions great cataclysms will sweep over our Earth ...
... recollections (infantile memories) and dreams in the analysis of a personality. In a prologue following the preface, Velikovsky summarizes facts and theories about the solar system and points to many questions that remain unanswered: about the origins of the planets, of comets, of life, of the ubiquitous legend of the Flood; about the causes of mountain building .111(1 of the Ice Ages, for example. The conflict is stressed between modern theories of gradual evolution (Lyell, Danwit) and the earlier one of catastrophic change (Cuvier). Velikovsky shows that the concept of ages brought to an end by violent natural changes can be found in the traditions of peoples the ...

... , 177) and Kuenen (1950,538) arrive at this approximate date for a geologically rapid drop in sea level of 16 to 20 feet, but it is not implied that this drop was rapid in terms of human time scale. If the water did not disappear in the formation of glacial ice caps it receded because of massive mountain building on land, or both. In any case, rapid changes of this kind in the earth's crust would, over a period of time, cause a succession of volcanic explosions, sharp climatic changes, and violent earthquakes, accompanied by tsunami and coastal floods, if the drop took place in sudden steps. The archaeological and historical ...

... provocative hypotheses are presented, which may serve to stimulate thought and research. If you know of any evidence pro or contra, please let us know. Suggestions and criticism are invited. During the classical period of Alpine geology, around 1900, the existence of nappes was after much controversy finally accepted and integrated in the then prevailing concepts of mountain building. Geologists at that time generally favoured the synthesis worked out by Eduard Suess in Das Antlitz der Erde: the slow contraction of a cooling Earth becoming manifest at its surface in the formation of wrinkles' mountain chains-, and in large-scale vertical movements which were thought to be responsible for the disappearance of land bridges ' and for ...

... mysteries of space had the aura of revelation. The face of the Earth, the face of the solar system, the sight of our galaxy and of the universe beyond, all changed from serene and placid to embattled and convulsed. The Earth is no abode for peaceful evolution for aeons uncounted, or counted in billions of years, with mountain building all finished by the Tertiary, with no greater event in millions of years than the fall of a large meteorite, with a prescribed orbit, unchanging calendar, unchanging latitudes, sediment accumulating slowly with the precision of an apothecary scale, with a few riddles unsolved but assured of solution in the very same frame of a solar system ...

... many of them are not. This is not explicable in terms of normal oceanic crust being subducted beneath the continent, leaving these blocks behind. Rather, the collision of such blocks is seen to be a much better explanation of the mountain budding along the edges of continents than the previously held ideas of upthrusts consequent upon subduction. The massive mountain building in the North American Cordillera, c.50 Myr ago, an event stretching up to 1500 kilometres inland, could be tied in with the collision with a large continental block derived from the region of southern Mexico. Geology, like evolution, is beginning to punctuate its uniformitarian equilibria. Saturn Electrostatic Discharges sources: Science Frontiers no ...

We offered an explanation of the fact that the nocturnal side of Venus emits as much heat as the sunlit side; and we explained the origin of the canals of Mars and the craters and seas of lava on the moon as brought about in stress and near collisions. We believe we came close to solving the problem of mountain building and the irruption of the sea; the exchange of place between sea and land; the rise of new islands and volcanic activity; sudden changes in climate and the destruction of quadrupeds in no rthern Siberia and the annihilation of entire species; and the cause of earthquakes. Furthermore, we found that excessive evaporation of water from the ...

... large extinct mammals such as mammoths in frozen lands to the north, reports of which reached Paris in 1807. Later, in 1829, Léonce Élie de Beaumont (1798-1874) suggested a possible mechanism for the révolutions, arguing that even if the Earth was cooling slowly and gradually as Buffon proposed, and that the reduction in volume led to mountain building, then this latter process was still likely to occur in an episodic and catastrophic fashion, with upheavals of submerged land [16-18]. Cuvier took great care to keep his science and religion separate. In Britain, such an attitude would have been most unusual, for many professional scientists were clergymen. Indeed, this was still ...

The second article is by a Soviet scholar, Vladimir Belousov, who writes on the frozen mammoths found in his country. We hope to get more material later on the Tunguska Event. The third article is by Donald Patten and Samuel Windsor on mountain building. It promises to stir up some stimulating reaction. The fourth article is by Dwardu Cardona, who contends with some of the theories of Martin Sieff. It is the opinion of this journal that by academic discussions of these controversial problems we can get closer to the answers. In addition, we have a Theory Workshop article by ...

... : lava flowed and igneous rock intruded in the form of dykes or otherwise; the heated rocks acquired a reversed magnetic orientation; the intensity of their magnetization is stronger than the earth's own field could possibly produce. In the section "A Working Hypothesis," it was asserted that the formation of the ice cover, pluvial phenomena, and mountain building could be explained if the earth's axis was shifted, and it was assumed that the axis was shifted by an extraneous magnetic field. Now, the circumstance that rocks the world over show reversed magnetic orientation and an intensity of magnetization which the earth's magnetic field could not have induced, proves that our assumption was not unfounded. In ...
44. Uniformitarianism, Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... explanation of the gradual decline in the level of geological activity... If the centre of the earth was once hotter than it is today and the solid crust thinner, then we should expect past earth movements to have occurred on a scale much greater than of modern earthquakes. In France, Elie de Beaumont suggested a catastrophic theory of mountain building in which the earth's crust wrinkled' as it cooled. Such ideas gave catastrophism a sensible conceptual foundation and were accepted widely. Even Buckland eventually accepted the cooling earth interpretation, while admitting that he had originally overestimated the extent of the last deluge (1836). ' [3 : pp. 120-121] Hallam presented much the ...

... was an indefatigable letter writer, whose circle of correspondents were probably all disappointments when it came to frequency of reply, though he never failed to appreciate content. The Slades were neighbours of John Dayton in Tenerife and helped to illustrate Dayton's Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man. Later David contributed articles to SIS publications on such diverse subjects as mountain building, plate techtonics, Moses and the Exodus. He contributed to the 1993 SIS Cambridge Conference on volcanic eruptions and was the originator of a new theory about the action of tides on the Earth's crust which was published in letter form in C&CW 1988:1 , co-authored with Eric Crew. Unfortunately he did not persue this ...
46. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1964) Since the discovery of the Barringer Crater in Arizona and the reassessment of the origin of similar craters of enormous size, the theory of meteoritic origin has grown in strength. Gallant shows that the impact of meteorites of planetary dimensions must have caused a shift in the earth's polar axis, changes in the spin rate and crustal slips, mountain building, climatic change and the destruction of species. Impacts must have released large quantities of lethal radiation which would alter the course of evolution. The author, who is a mathematician but has done field work in geology and archaeology, offers calculations of the energy requirements needed to produce the observed effects. The book's foreword is by Professor ...

... evidence for the speed of the process, at least concerning the most recent catastrophe, he drew attention to the discovery of unputrified carcasses of large extinct mammals in the northern ice. In support, Elie de Beaumont argued that even if the Earth was cooling slowly and gradually as Buffon had proposed, and that the reduction in volume led to mountain building, then this latter process was still likely to occur in an episodic and catastrophic fashion, with upheavals of submerged land creating gigantic and destructive waves. In England, William Buckland fought a rearguard action in support of a single major Flood, whilst others such as Adam Sedgwick and William Daniel Conybeare found the evidence for multiple cataclysms overwhelming ...
... that needed for the average force of blow to built up, exactly as a nail, submitted to such a force, penetrates into wood in practically the same time interval as that during which the force acts. This shows that the Earth's crust may be submitted, during a short time, to forces of very considerable value producing folding and mountain building. The force of blow will be still greater if it acts on a more limited portion of the crust. (b ) In No. 6, it is considered that the momentum transmitted to the lithosphere on impact will give rise to a smaller stress acting during a longer time, exactly as a floating object, submitted to ...

... years that tectonic theories are incomplete without an extraterrestrial dimension [32,105,234]. In The Cosmic Serpent they considered the physics of the Earth's tectonic system, and the likely effect of a large impact, concluding: "The picture then is one of episodes of rapid continental drift, with all the associated worldwide sea-floor spreading, mountain building, vulcanism and so on, immediately after an impact, followed by a gradual decline of activity as the disturbed Earth settles into a new pattern of movement with more gradual splitting or colliding of continents. If these ideas are correct, large impacts will thus set in motion a complex chain of interacting phenomena - sea-level changes, climatic ...

... ." The discoveries consist of marine plants and fossilised wood with its roots - found at altitudes of 1800 m., and a rock containing a fossilised dolphin, dating from 2-5 Myrs ago. Not only do the findings indicate dramatic changes in climate, the marine flora and fauna found at an altitude of 1800 m. shows remarkably rapid mountain building to have taken place, and this is a problem to explain, for Antarctica does not have a seismic history which might account for such mountain building.
