... mention of the source being linear, that is, away from and toward the viewer, or explanation as to how this is so. The formation of a convection cell over a heat source has been observed, and is referred to as square', meaning that the vertical height of the column rising due to the influence of heat is normally related to the horizontal distance the material will travel on the outward limb before cooling, sinking, and returning along the bottom limb to the heat source. Unfortunately, this does not apply to the convection cells under the oceanic plates, where the horizontal limbs far exceed the vertical height above the theoretical heat source, and become long shallow ...
492. The Fire Came By: The Riddle of the Great Siberian Explosion by John Baxter and Thomas Atkins [Journals] [Kronos]
... comet hypothesis became less tenable on mechanistic grounds, which also ruled out a train of meteorites, as the path of the object, as described by observers in villages and communities along its course, delineated an erratic trajectory. Finally, in 1961 and 1963 two fully instrumented Soviet Academy expeditions found something else: background radioactivity was substantially higher than normal, there was evidence of heat-flash damage everywhere, and secondary radiation shadows were found 200 km from the epicenter of the blast- virtually identical to those observed at Hiroshima. Apparently an unmistakeable thermonuclear explosion had taken place in 1908. When news of this broke on a bemused world, a rash of speculations attempted to explain the anomalous phenomenon ...
493. Electricity Absent from Sagan's Astrophysics [Journals] [Pensee]
... any change in one factor must be compensated for by a change in the other. II. Electric charge added to a spinning body increases its moment of inertia. (The moment of inertia of a spinning electron, for example, is due almost entirely to its charge.) And I wrote: "Suppose that most of the earth's normal moment of inertia is attributable to its mass (and the way that mass is arranged within its body). Barring the acquisition of [additional] electric charge, the earth's angular momentum can be altered only by applying an external torque or by rearranging its mass. Now, however, suppose that in a near-collision with a high-potential Venus ...
... can safely be translated into certainty. These are more or less regular and orderly arguments within the disciplines; they are continually being resolved and new ones begun. This consensus prevailing in each discipline has been aptly called by Polanyi [321] a tacit one; it is not usually made explicit. As a result, most scientists in the normal course of events do not live with an awareness that they are dealing with matters of high probability- they think in terms of certainties, since their colleagues and peers believe as they do. Scientists do not habitually emphasize that (their) belief is one thing and truth another. Not only are scientists certain about their facts, a ...
495. Ninsianna And Ramesside Star Observations [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... number is always the same as the year number. "Invisibilities" include both the day of disappearance and the day of re-appearance but "duration" omits one of these days. IVhen the month is marked with an asterisk, the year is one of 13 months (VIII* = "Second Ulul"). If everything had been normal and the calendar perfectly adjusted, every fifth conjunction would have occurred on (almost) the same calendar date; note, for instance, that the conjunctions marked "A " always occur in Month XI. Note also that events 6 & 14 occur earlier than computed whilst event 8a, 13a and 17 occur later than computed, suggesting ...
... conserved. Second, experiments in whose results the nonconservation of parity was implicit were performed in 1928- 30, but the conclusion of nonconservation was not drawn from those results because it was, at that time, a premature discovery (see below) --nonconservation was not yet scientifically conceivable. Third, scientists lack a self-conscious, critical attitude in the normal course of events, and may not even be aware that they believe something for which there is no evidence. Yang, one of the individuals who was awarded a Nobel Prize for the discovery in 1956 of parity nonconservation, said, "That parity conservation in the weak interactions was believed for so long without experimental support was very startling ...
... is not asked because it is a nonquestion; there is no paradox or anomaly here. Ozone is subject to the same convection as any other component of the atmosphere but, unlike most of the others, it happens to be unstable. An ozone molecule consists of three atoms of oxygen chemically bound together. Ozone can be prepared from the normal, stable form of oxygen (in which there are two atoms of oxygen per molecule) by means of an electrical discharge. One frequently smells the sharp odor of ozone in the air after lightning has struck or in the output of electronic air cleaners or air fresheners under some conditions. The overall reaction involves three molecules of oxygen being ...
498. Thoughts on the Cave of Kamares [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... damp, cold, and once round a couple of turns, completely dark. Even at the beginning of May, when there is practically no rain to require sheltering from, entrance is only gained by walking across a deep patch of snow. As one emerges into the sunshine it is exceedingly difficult to conceive of any people choosing, in normal conditions, to live in such a place in such difficult country. Even Neolithic cultures on Crete had to be advanced enough to sail boats to have ever got there in the first place. It hardly seems likely that they would forsake the coast and the fertile plain in order to risk rickets, arthritis and bronchitis in the darkness of ...
499. The Inexact Science of Radiometric Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is difficult to determine accurately, and is the least accurately known of all the isotope abundances of lead (4 ). Moreover, the common lead assay does not provide a guarantee of the actual level of contamination in the sample being dated. With few exceptions the U238/Pb206, U235/Pb207 and Th232/Pb208 age determinations are normally found to be discordant. In addition, age determinations may be calculated from Pb207/Pb206 results, no reference to the parent isotope being deemed necessary, the ratio of the daughter isotopes being time dependent through the different decay rates of the respective parent isotopes. The Pb207/Pb206 age is frequently much greater than the U235/Pb207 ...
500. Scientists, Journalists and Editors as Suppressors (Part II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 27, 1992, from a Ms. Sally Stephens, Education Coordinator and Assistant Editor at Mercury, which stated: Dear Mr. Ginenthal, I am returning your check...and the text for the ad you sent us for Mercury magazine. Unfortunately, our Society has a policy of only accepting ads for material produced through the normal process of refereed publishing. Thus, we are not able to accept your ad. Thank you for thinking of us. Sincerely, Sally Stephens What Ms. Stephens informed me was that the only criteria for rejecting my ad was simply that the book had not gone through the process of refereed publishing. This did not disturb me since ...
