... Stratum VIII in Area AA at Megiddo [20], by Stratum XVI at Gezer, and by Stratum XIV of the Upper City at Hazor (= Str. Ib of the Lower City) [21]. The wealth and international trade attested by these levels certainly reflect the age of Solomon far more accurately than the Iron Age cities normally attributed to him, from which we have "no evidence of any particular luxury" [21a]. Map showing sites discussed in the text The above-mentioned strata at Megiddo and Gezer have both yielded remains of very fine buildings and courtyards [22]. The Late Bronze strata on the tell at Hazor have unfortunately not produced a clear ...
402. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a supply representing less than 100,000 years of flow, and when the flow off the continents is calculated as a negative exponential curve, the age of the ocean becomes holocene [10]. For most sediments would have been dropped or transported in the earliest years. Sedimentary rocks are given very great ages in part because the "normal" visible rates of deposit are slow. But a single cometary train might lay down a "hundred million years" of till or detritus-clay and gravel-in a day [11]. A coal deposit can be launched by a high-energy "bulldozer" in a matter of hours, covered over the next day by clay and baked until ready ...
403. Beneath Bauer [Books]
... extent Bauer follows Kuhn, who agrees that problem-solving is what most "scientists necessarily do most of the time." (59) Where Bauer falls significantly short of Kuhn, however, is in his discussion of the non-routine episodes which also are a legitimate part of any science. As Kuhn has written, ". . . if the normal puzzle-solving activity were altogether successful, the development of science could lead to no fundamental innovations at all." (60) Bauer insists that "a chemist would get nowhere if he tried to keep his mind constantly open to the possibility that" processes could occur "according to some unknown principle or law of nature." (61 ...
404. The Ninsianna tablets, a preliminary reconstruction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this event can be used to reconcile biblical dates with the ones proposed here. It is also worth noting that certain sudden shifts of the vernal equinox could produce a repetition of births' - that is, a second heliacal rising of Sirius, or any other heavenly body, a week or two after the first one instead of after the normal interval of one year (the shifts concerned must be fairly abrupt and they must be in a positive direction, as defined in Appendix B). Whilst I have no explanation to offer for the association of Ammisaduqa's name with the tablets, I imagine that the year of the heavenly throne' could refer to something spectacular in the skies ...
405. The Causal Source for the Climatic Changes at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from north and the south along the Earth's surface towards the ITD mean that the air at the ITD can escape only by rising. The rising air takes the form of numerous isolated columns or towers, each marked by extensive cloud systems, showers and thunderstorms. Consequently, the ITD is a belt of frequent rainfall, cloudiness and storms, normally referred to as the monsoon region. Because of the Earth's obliquity [14], the latitude of the ITD migrates north in the summer and south in the winter. The time when heavy rainfall occurs in a region is referred to as the monsoon season' [15]. An important aspect of a weakened Westerlies pattern is that ...
406. Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 80 bc. This indicates that the radiocarbon date is not a point in time, but a span of time within which there is a fixed probability of the true age of the sample falling. Half of this time span (80 years, in this example) is called 1 "standard deviation" (SD): in a "normal distribution", there is a 68% probability that the true age of the sample will fall within 1 SD either way of the radiocarbon date, which is the mean (see Panel B). The reason why C14 dates have to be presented in this way is that physicists cannot measure exactly how much C14 there is in a ...
407. Radioations [Books]
... the isotope of Thorium Th234904 This Thorium isotope is itself unstable and disintegrates further. B. When a nucleus contains too many neutrons, it may gain more stability by transforming one of these neutrons into a proton plus an electron. The electron emitted by the nucleus is called a (beta) particle or B-radiation: it is identical with the normal electrons with a negative electric charge and is therefore often called a negatron. When a negatron is brought to rest, it behaves like any normal electron: it attaches itself to some atom as an orbital electron. In the process, the new nucleus has its atomic number Z increased by 1 (an additional proton is formed) and ...
408. "Why War?". Ch.5 The Age Of Terror (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... progress. The paper I read was the only other discussion of the same theme.[4 ] My view, derived at that time from psychoanalytical thinking, saw in repressed homosexuality of entire nations the source of hatred and of lust for doing bodily harm on a mass scale, of the massacres and the triumphs of a race motivated by male homosexuality, against and over an effeminate nation. Is not the lust of the Turks carrying massacre to an Armenian village enhanced by these diversities in subconscious national make-up? Is not Germany, with its national emblem of an eagle with talons spread for piercing the victim's flesh, a natural enemy of France, with its maiden in a Phrygian ...
409. The Absurdity of Neutron Stars [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... neutron star can convert the energy of infalling matter into tightly collimated, pulsed x-ray beams. Wal: It is difficult to imagine a more unlikely way of achieving this effect. It is assumed that a spinning object is required to cause the pulsations. Wal: Only required in a purely mechanical model. It is assumed that Nature overlooks the normal (and infinitely easier) method of creating x-rays by accelerating electrons in an electric field. It is assumed that Nature overlooks the simplest way of creating pulsed radiation by a charge-discharge relaxation oscillator cycle (where electric charge builds up slowly until a threshold is reached and a sudden discharge occurs). It is assumed that Nature ignores the simplest ...
410. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... minor streams are only areas of higher spatial density'. In 1952, Whipple and Hamid estimated that a major ejection of Taurids from Comet Encke occurred about 2700BC - only 400 years before the postulated event, based on optical measurements of four large Taurid meteoroids and retrojecting their orbits back in time to their intersection with Comet Encke. Meteoroid ejection normally occurs at perihelion, the closest approach to the Sun, but in the Taurid event the ejection point was close to aphelion, as the comet passed through the asteroid belt [5 ]. Whipple and Hamid's findings have been corroborated by Kulikova [6 ], who found a separation velocity for the Taurid meteoroids of about 350m/s ...
