... in Mesopotamia and elsewhere outside the Persian heartland, there are no substantial Persian remains (contrary to what Palmer has claimed; see my letter on the topic in C&C Workshop 2004:4 , pp. 34-35). In Mesopotamia, the immediate pre-Hellenistic levels habitually produce Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian material. These must then, according to the normal rules of stratigraphy, be peoples of the Persian period. Heinsohn and I have therefore not simply cherry-picked' alter egos from the historical periods of our choice. The alter egos are required by the logic of the stratigraphic evidence. As such, I feel we would be justified in asking for a response to the stratigraphy before continuing the ...
542. Gases, Poisons and Food [Books] [de Grazia books]
... days suffered from throat irritation [1 ]. If the intruder is admitted, one may grant the occurrence of gases. An actual impact is not necessary. Can a gas cloud descend through the atmosphere without exploding or burning? It would have to be charged oppositely to the Earth's surface and buffered during descend by a plasma. Even under normal conditions, the positions of light and heavy gases are sometimes reversed in the disorderly atmosphere. The Great Chicago Fire, and forest fires which burned out millions of acres of land in Wisconsin, Michigan, Western America and Canada broke out on the same day in the fall of 1871. E.K . Komarek speaks of a peculiar ...
543. The SIS Evolution Debate Continued [Journals] [SIS Review]
... under conditions where population density is high and environmental conditions are stable, natural selection must act largely to maintain the status quo. Where we differ is that I, unlike Jill, consider it unnecessary to postulate an additional mechanism for creating new variants at times of low population density following a mass extinction. I see no reason to suppose that normal' mechanisms for producing variants could not give rise to explosions of new species at such times, when the restraining influence of natural selection would be greatly reduced. Of course Jill would probably argue that she can see no reason to suppose that normal' mechanisms would be sufficient, and that would be fair enough. The problem is that ...
544. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Jacob [Books]
... of Jacob spoke deceitfully to them, saying: "We told our father Isaac all your words, and your words pleased him, but he said, that thus did Abraham his father command him from God, that any man that is not of his descendants, who desireth to take one of his daughters to wife, shall cause every male belonging to him to be circumcised." Shechem and his father hastened to do the wishes of the sons of Jacob, and they persuaded also the men of the city to do likewise, for they were greatly esteemed by them, being the princes of the land. On the next day, Shechem and his father rose up early ...
545. A Simple Investigation of the Thesis of Isotope Decay Constancy using Cobalt-60 and an Alcomax Magnet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , however, that scattering of the radiation by the metal of the magnet surrounding the source would have the effect on the distribution of observed counts that the magnet appears to have (see statistical data below). If the count-rate is increased due to scattering one would expect the distribution of the count-rates about the (increased) mean to be normal if such were the case without the magnet. The statistical data given below indicate that the presence of the magnet not only changed the mean but also changed (skewed) the distribution of the count-rates. III. Statistical Data.

546. Scientific Dating Problems: The Radiometric Dating Of Earth's Rocks [Journals] [SIS Review]
... peak beam currents exceeding 100 milliamps. Terrestrial lightning involves currents of positively-charged particles 105 times stronger. Britannica 2002's summary of data from Uman's book, Lightning, is in appendix B, with UK Met Office data. A typical lightning flash involves a potential difference between cloud and ground of several hundred million volts. There are four stages in a normal discharge, viz.: (i ) initiation, following neutralisation of the small net-positive charge at the thundercloud base; (ii) emanation of a leader stroke, often stepped and branched, carrying negative charge from cloud base towards the ground. Branching is indicative of a search for the lowest resistance Cloud to Ground (CtG) path ...
547. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... dated only to the nearest hundred or so years, and many older events only to within millions of years. Therefore, it would not be possible to tell if the one hundred earthquakes and fifty eruptions occurred all in one day or if they occurred one each year for one hundred fifty years. The latter could easily be interpreted as a normal sequence, quite in line with modern experience. Another important point to consider would be the extent of the damage caused by the hypothetical body. Some people infer that a global catastrophe would leave evidence on every square inch of the earth. Then, since such evidence cannot be drawn from every inch of the earth and correlated to a ...
548. The Milankovitch Theory of the Ice Ages [Journals] [Kronos]
... feature low accumulation rates, and do not allow for sufficiently detailed resolution of climatic events. This limitation is explained by Wollin, Ericson, and Ewing, "Late Pleistocene Climates Recorded in Atlantic and Pacific Deep-Sea Sediments", in The Late Cenozoic Glacial Ages, edited by Karl K. Turekian (1971), page 199: "Under normal conditions the rate of sediment accumulation in the deep oceans varies from 1.5 to 3 cm in 1000 years. In consequence, the last 11,000 years are normally represented by a layer of sediment no thicker than 15 to 30 cm. Because burrowing animals mix together the upper 3 or 4 cm of sediment as it accumulates ...
549. The Garden, the Fall and the Restoration [Articles]
... , because we don't see parallel behavior in the animal world, we look for examples of it, but whenever we do find examples of it, it is in an exceptional situation, in other words we have to put 200 rats together in a small cage to get them to act as irrationally as human beings do, what we call normal society. So presumably, if there was a time before the amnesia set in, if there were any memory of that time preserved, it would be a memory of a state in which human behavior was normal, rational. The assumption of a pathological state automatically implies the existence of a normal state, otherwise we have no definition ...
