... . The general problem in finding an explanation has been how to support the assertion that the shear strength of soil and rock may become so low that near-horizontal displacement may occur. According to Coulomb's equation, the shear strength, S, is expressed as S = c+ n tan f in which c is cohesion, n is the pressure normal (perpendicular) to the plane, and phi is the angle of internal friction. It is not difficult to conceptualize the reduction of cohesion to a near-zero value. This can be easily explained by assuming a shock, e.g ., of a tectonic nature. However, reducing the quantity n tan f to a point sufficiently ...
372. Uniformitarian Or Catastrophist? Ice Age Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... seasonal change of the Decade Glacier on Baffin Island. One of the purposes of this computer model was to test the astronomical theory of the ice age. In doing so, the summer sunshine was decreased to the presumed solar radiation minimum at 116,000 years ago. Williams began the computer run with the average April-to-August temperature 6 C below normal, and then decreased this value by increments of 2 C until he reached 12 C [26.2 F] below normal.... the area permanently snow covered in Canada, after a reduction in average spring and summer temperature of 10 and 12 C [caused] Williams [to] conclude..., " ...
373. Effects of Atmospheric Dust on the Arcus Visionis [Journals] [Kronos]
... Re)l /2- Re tan (ga/2 ), which is an approximation that is satisfactory for hm less than 100 km (see Fig. 1). In this equation Re = 6378 km and hm is the maximum altitude for which there may be appreciable dust. Assuming hm = 50 km, which is the normal maximum altitude for dust, and letting ga equal the "standard" value(1 ) of 5.75 , Z is about 480 km. With Z = 480 km 5 x 105 m, the value of g averaged over the whole path is about 15/(5 x 105) = 3 x 10-5/m sterad ...
374. Did the Amazons Exist After All? [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents News Flash Did the Amazons Exist After All?Tania ta Maria Ancient female warriors, known as Amazons, litter Greek myth and legend. In modern times, they have been more or less relegated to the fertile imagination of the ancient Greeks. Herodotus, the Greek historian of antiquity, had however vouched for their existence. On his return from his travels north of the Black Sea, he told of these fierce female warriors, armed with swords and bows and arrows, roaming the steppes of what today is southern Russia. Together with their mention elsewhere in Greek literature, scholars have dismissed Herodotus' ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate IV - The Reason Of Raised Beaches WHEN it is shown that the sea-level has risen over the centuries in so systematic a manner it stands to reason that numerous examples of raised beaches at various places in Britain and elsewhere cannot mark any normal level of the waters, and must be accounted for in another fashion. A raised beach is a definite indication of a height or situation against which the water beat and deposited certain detritus, or left other indications of its presence. It yields evidence of a marine or lacustrine terrace, consisting usually of sand and gravel, sometimes possessing ...
376. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 2 (Jan 1989) Home | Issue Contents Abraham and Phallicism by George R. Harvey Two seemingly unrelated events occurred during the biblical Abraham's lifetime which were strictly phallic in nature: the first Scriptural recording of the religious practice of circumcision and the drama at Sodom concerning a male homosexual act. Proponents of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky's theory of an upset Solar System give many instances of religious ceremonies which can easily be explained as the attempt by a terrified people to appease the gods or angels by imitating or otherwise relating to the astronomical phenomena they witnessed [1 ]. I wish to propose a similar explanation for the two phallic events. ...
377. Geomagnetic Reversals? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... rise to a torque which causes the centre of mass to rise (Braams 1952, Hugenholz 1952). The tippe top is not unique in this behaviour. A slightly asymmetric ball will execute a similar motion, and any spinning body may to some degree, though usually in the lesser form termed nutation. A wheel-on-axle type of top will normally execute a slow, or normal, precession where the body of the top and the spin axis drift integrally, but on slowing down, the dominant motion changes to a fast precession, or wobble. The analysis of the motion of a tippe top is not particularly straightforward (Cohen 1977) but simple observation provides some indications of the ...
378. Forums [Journals] [SIS Review]
... THE DISCUSSION. My thanks are due to the editor for permitting me a word in response, and following his request for briefness I shall pick out just one example, the first one that Mr James is putting forward regarding the time of Merneptah's (= Apries, = Hophra) accession. The fact that this year is distinguished as "normal" is, of course, not pointing to some year between Mars disorders, but to a very particular year in which a disaster could have been expected - nobody was expecting natural catastrophes out of sequence, and the Pharaoh's pathos would have appeared quite preposterous. There is a sequence of four disturbances separated by some 30 years each, ...
379. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... unable to orientate themselves on their march. No cause is given for these overcast conditions. This forty year-long obscuration is considered by Velikovsky as being due to multiple prolonged volcanic eruptions and the gaseous tail of a great cinder-trailing comet [1 ]. The degree of darkness' is not known, but it is common knowledge that cloud cover during normal storm conditions makes observations of the Sun, Moon and stars impossible. As all record of the passage of time has to be based on observation of these bodies, the question arises as to just how this was done in darkness. How did the Israelites know they were forty years in the desert? How did Moses know he was ...
380. Horizontal Landslides During the 1960 Chile Earthquake [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... occurred in sloping beds of more or less coherent tuffs, ranging in age from Pliocene to Pleistocene. FluviolaCUstrine sediments were affected also, notably in one major slide at Rihihue. Some of these slides involved a vertical drop of several hundred metres and acquired sufficient kinetic energy to propel the released mass far over the near-horizontal valley floor, as is normally observed in powder-snow avalanches. Others fell from a much lesser height, and several of these display a peculiarity which is full of geological implications, i.e . the importance of the horizontal component of displacement. At Rihihue, horizontal fluvio-lacustrine sediments broke off over a length of several kilometers and moved down as much as 100 metres, ...
