... appreciable gap until the EB IV (here conventionally set [to begin] at ca. 2400-2350 BC)." [8 ]. The gap, it should be noted, was caused by the application of calibrated radiocarbon dates [9 ], lengthening the EB III period but also redating it to a time earlier than most archaeologists would normally have posited. Very little has happened to the divergence between calibrated radiocarbon and historical ages since then: the archaeologists and historians are quietly living with the problem. They are having to, for, with the publication of the Irish and German oak tree-ring chronologies it can no longer be claimed, as Long did, that one cannot apply ...
462. Radio-Carbon Dating [Books]
... of C14 and its decay, and thus, by the absorption of radioactive carbon dioxide, all living creatures will contain the same proportion of C14 as is found in the atmosphere. When a living creature dies, it ceases to absorb carbon compounds and thus the C14 is no longer replenished. The amount of C14 it contains consequently diminishes by normal disintegration and thus it is possible, by measuring the quantity of radioactive carbon left in the sample, to determine the moment at which death occurred. 3. Radio-carbon dating is based on the following assumptions: (a ) Constancy of the cosmic-ray intensity in time. (b ) Isotopic uniformity of the stabilizing active carbon reservoir. 4 ...
463. Society News: SIS Autumn Conference 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... proposing. Arp's findings contradict the Hubble constant which says that velocity increases as you go out from the centre of the universe. He says that redshifts do not indicate velocity, they indicate age. Ejected particles are born with zero mass; as time goes on, mass increases, the photons get stronger; redshift drops, the material becomes normal matter. The universe is Euclidean, it is non-expanding. Arp's conclusion is: there is continuous creation of new matter in an indefinitely old and indefinitely large universe. There were various questions from the audience. One concerned the conservation of mass and energy. Energy, Arp said, is diffused throughout the universe and materialises in galaxies. ...
464. Coldwater Carbonate Sedimentation [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... (6-8 microns) elongate rhombs (Mg-calcite) of limestones formed in warm shallow marine environments, and is characterised by well-developed-rhombs (up to 100 microns), scalenohedra, elongated rhombic plates (length-slow), and by zoned and poikilotopic rhombic plates of low-Mg calcite. Experiments have shown that well-developed rhombs and rhombic plates of low-Mg calcite precipitate from normal sea water only at extremely low temperatures (< 3'C) (Kinsman and Holland, 1969). In recent sediments the amount of Mn is controlled by carbonate mineralogy (Thompson, 1972). In aragonite it is about 20 ppm whereas calcite can take up to a few percent. In the Berriedale Limestone the very high Mn ( ...
... or presented proof from nature or history, or a secret of war making. It is not what it is claimed to be- it is a vision of a visionary, seeing the future or knowing the hidden past. "It requires an immense and concentrated effort of realisation, demanding constant reminders and refreshment, on the part of a normal intelligence, to perceive that the cosmic movement of events is increasingly adverse to the mental make-up of our everyday life. It is a realisation the writer finds extremely difficult to sustain. But while he holds it, the significance of Mind fades. The secular process loses its accustomed appearance of a mental order." After explaining what he ...
466. The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... fantastic heroes of pagan mythologies become comparatively sober men in the Bible. Events which are clearly celestial or zodiacal in the mythologies of Egypt, Greece and Sumeria become earthbound and attached to seemingly historical characters in the biblical counterparts to these stories. Robert Graves (1 ) shows how the Jewish midrash described Abraham as seventy times the height of a normal man with each of his steps measuring three or four miles. Saul's general Abner was reputed to have said: If I could but seize the earth with my feet elsewhere, I should be able to shake it. ' The hair of David's son Absalom, when shorn, was said to have weighed two hundred shekels. These thoughts ...
467. Royal Raymond Rife [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and was given an honorary Doctorate by the University of Heidelberg for his work. By 1920, Rife had finished building the world's first virus microscope. By 1933, he had perfected that technology and had constructed the incredibly complex Universal Microscope, which had nearly 6,000 different parts and was capable of magnifying objects 60,000 times their normal size. [. .] Rife painstakingly identified the individual spectroscopic signature of each microbe, using a slit spectroscope attachment. [. .] Rife had identified the human cancer virus first... in 1920! Rife then made over 20,000 unsuccessful attempts to transform normal cells into tumor cells. He finally succeeded when he ...
468. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... They stood in line. That our sky, today, provides no basis for this ancient idea is precisely why the recurrence of the idea from one culture to another is significant. Venus as the heart or soul, a central star animating the Universal Monarch. Venus as central eye, navel, nave of the world wheel. Venus as female power, mother goddess, daughter and spouse of the Universal Monarch. Not a single aspect of the Venus archetype will find support in the present positions and movements of the planets. Venus as hair star, feathered, or winged, star, great flame, and fiery serpent or dragon. Venus as angry goddess attacking the world. ...
... for this puts them safely in the dim and different past. It is thesis III which strikes the chord of Terror, for this brings the cataclysms into the recent past, meaning not only that they continued to occur into the age of present civilization, but, much more terrifying, that they could happen again soon, that they are normal. It is this prospect which traditional science cannot face, and for which it has hunted Velikovsky, and this panicked interaction is the Velikovsky Affair. The Affair as a whole has now endured for 50 years, and, to grasp its shape and evolution, we can usefully divide it into two halves, which run roughly from 1946 ...
470. Our Electric Sun [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... where the Z-pinch effect occurs [see "Electromagnetic collapse, problems of stability, emission of radiation and evolution of a dense pinch", Boris E. Meierovich, Phys. Reports 104 259.] Plasmas appear in one of three types: (a ) Dark current (invisible, but gives off radio frequency emissions) (b ) Normal glow, as in fluorescent tubes and the Sun's corona (c ) Arc discharge, as in the Sun's photosphere. Increasing the voltage moves from (a ) to (c ), and a millivolt can separate each region. A planet's magnetosphere appears in the Dark Current region, as does the Sun's heliopause which extends out past Pluto ...
