... one of which decays into a stable lead atom ending the chain of decays. The process is depicted in Figure One below. Figure One: The decay series by which uranium-238 can become lead-206. The half-life is shown for each decay. As well, a neutrino induced short cut' is shown, which by-passes the slowest step of the normal' decay series. The ordinate (Z ) gives the atomic number to the left and the chemical symbol to the right. The abscissa shows the atomic mass (A ) along the top. The various decay modes are illustrated to the upper right of the Figure. The disappearance of uranium atoms is presumed to depend only upon the ...
442. The Titius-Bode Law and the Evolution of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]
... way: the distance to the nth planet is Rn = (4 )+ (3 ) (2 )n , n =-[infinity], 0, 1, 2.... (1 ) where n = [infinity] for Mercury, 0 for Venus, 1 for Earth, etc. The law is normalized to 10 for the Earth. It "predicted" the discovery of the asteroid belts, Uranus, and was used as the basis for computations to discover Neptune, even though it failed badly for Neptune and Pluto (see Table 1).

443. Firmament & Chaos by John Ackerman (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... deserts that now exist in these areas. All the volcanoes of the Earth erupted. The Nile river was completely dried up'. Each time Mars approached, its gravitational pull latched on' to Tibet and the Himalayas, causing a 30º shift of the Earth's axis, placing the North Pole in Hudson's Bay. It then returned to its normal position when Mars departed. When Mars was in its common orbit with Earth, it stayed above the Himalayas in a configuration similar to the arrangement proposed by Saturn Configuration' theorists. According to Ackerman, the effects of these events on Mars were catastrophic: during encounters with Earth, its liquid iron core was exposed and drawn out by ...
444. The Sphinx. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... , however, wished to see in the destruction of the monster an original part of the myth and to regard everything else as an addition or a later elaboration.3 Whichever is true, it appears indisputable that the incident with the Sphinx is merely mythological. A psychoanalyst would be inclined to interpret the Sphinx story, the overcoming of a female monster, as the self-deliverance of a son from the tyranny of an overpowering mother. 0. Rank explained the Sphinx as the incarnation of the repulsive traits of the mother; Theodor Reik has also pointed to the similar end of Jocasta and the Sphinx-in suicide.4 The victory over the Sphinx or the overpowering of the mother is a ...
445. Redshift Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and left of center actually has a smeller redshift than the others, indicating it is much closer. It is probably a foreground object which happens to lie along the line of sight to the more distant galaxies. Of the four distant galaxies, three seem to be colliding, showing serious distortions due to gravitational tides. The fourth is a normal appearing elliptical galaxy." Here's Arp's explanation, including a lot of evidence that was completely ignored in the APOD account: The redshifts of the "low redshift" galaxy 9NGC 7320) is 800 km/sec. The redshifts of the three galaxies that "seem to be colliding" are 6,700 km/sec, 5 ...
446. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... 1. To Britain, it exemplified the quintessential opposition between suddenness and gradualism, or between randomness and purpose, and it was applied directly to science. A hundred and fifty years later, here is Stephen Jay Gould's analysis of the political nature of that "scientific" debate: ". . . scientists began to see change as a normal part of universal order, not as aberrant and exceptional. Scholars then transferred to nature the liberal program of slow and orderly change that they advocated for social transformation." (75) Gould did not emphasize that it was mainly British scholars who did this, not French, but it is easy for us to see why. To ...
447. The Impossible Dinosaurs [Articles]
... proportional to volume, goes up in proportion to the cube of the increase in dimension. Strength, on the other hand, is known to be roughly proportional to cross section of muscle for any particular limb, and goes up in proportion to the square of the increase in dimension. This is the familiar "square-cube" problem. The normal calculation for this is to simply divide by 2/3 power of body weight, and this is indeed the normal scaling factor for all weight lifting events, that is, it lets us tell if a 200 lb athlete has actually done a "better" lift than the champion of the 180 lb group. Consider the case of ...
448. Nuclear Reactions [Books]
... radio-active decay) of unstable (or elements with emission of radiations. Such transformations (or transmutations) are called nuclear reactions. Nuclear reactions may also be produced by the splitting up of the nuclei of (even stable) atoms. This splitting up of nuclei will produce new chemical elements which are generally unstable and which will attain stability by normal decay. The `breaking up' (or rupture) of nuclei is called fission. Another kind of nuclear reaction consists in the combination of the nuclei of two chemically different atoms to form a new element which may be stable or unstable. Such a reaction is called fusion. 2. Fission may occur in two different cases: ...

... diagram statistically he can recover the data and do so. With regard to McCreery's comments on the lack of measurement of a c' axis, I refer him to Krumbein (1940, 1942). In analysis of data from San Gabriel Canyon and Arroyo Seco, California, he used data for long axes only, which he considers sufficient under normal circumstances. As Krumbein made clear in his 1939 paper, analysis of c' axis is at its most useful for spheroids where long-axes are not clearly defined. This criterion is of little importance for the stone shapes (tabular and wedge-shaped) in this study. McCreery's third quote from Krumbein is undoubtedly true and I shall return to it later ...
450. Sardanapallus and Arbaces [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the royal power, was killed by Arbactus, a Mede, who was governor of Media. Arbactus became king of Assyria. After a long series of kings, about whom Pompeius Trogus is silent, the throne came to Astyages. We must note the following facts: Sardanapallus, the last Assyrian king according to Pompeius Trogus, is normally identified with Assurbanipal (orthodox chronology 668-626 B.C .) , a very brave and energetic monarch. Astyages reigned between 585 and 550; thus the long series of kings between Sardanapallus and Astyages seems to be unhistorical. Semiramis is normally identified with Sammuramit, the Samsi-Adad V (824-811 B.C .) , who reigned during ...
