... , which predicts a gas pressure, for a given density, sufficient to counteract gravitational pressure only when the star is greatly collapsed. The inverse relationship of mass to radius is not affected, as it is in other stars, by temperature, luminosity or energy production." By this argument, Greenstein claims that with depth, as in normal stars, the temperature rise is different for white dwarfs. That is, the temperature rise is only large enough to offset the mass above. This would make perfectly good sense if Greenstein did not also tell us: 208Radius and Temperature of white dwarfs show no correlation. Stars of various radii occur at all temperatures . . . . ...
602. Mammoth Update: A Reply to Ellenberger (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... of preserved stomach contents (of inestimable value in elucidation of diet but of questionable relevance to the deduction of season of death - see above) should not be offered as proof of sudden death and instantaneous freezing. Presence of food in the stomach of a corpse proves merely that feeding had occurred within a matter of hours before death, the normal mechanisms of stomach-emptying being of greater relevance, here, than the efficiency of gastric secretion. It is probably true, as Ellenberger surmises, that digestive processes cease at death for remains of terminal meals are found in the stomachs of corpses preserved by methods other than freezing, for example, in bog burials,(18) Chinese mummies ...
603. Appendices [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... to invent every possible explanation of the phenomenon, but failed to consider the meaning which was plainly stated by the priests of Egypt and their efforts through the centuries have remained fruitless". 1 The Egyptians also had a name Harakhte, for the western Sun. Again this must be interpreted: if one is to assume it is just the normal Sun since they said "Harakhte, he riseth in the west. Nurnerous Greek authors (e .g . Plato, Euripides) discussed a time when the Sun rose in the west. The Chinese say that the stars moving from east to west is a new arrangement. The Chinese Zodiac moves retrograde. 2 Some Indians of Mexico ...
604. Saturday: Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... who had written a remarkable article about Velikovsky in New Scientist and Harold recruited Martin Sieff, a recent history graduate from Oxford. We had a meeting in London and decided to go ahead with the project - unlikely as it seemed at the time. After the meeting, Euan MacKie and I walked back to the tube station and Euan, normally a quiet, very reserved academic, was quite excited, declaring: I now know what Lenin and those Russian revolutionaries felt just before the revolution'. Somehow I doubt if Euan will be reverently embalmed in a mausoleum by the archaeologists but maybe the revolution is still in progress. Harold Tresman is a co-founder of the Society for Interdisciplinary ...
605. Redshift! [Journals] [Aeon]
... numerous collections of other nebular clouds in our galactic neighborhood known as globular clusters, of which some 90-odd are known. Cambridge astronomer Arthur Eddington became intrigued by these cepheid variables in 1916, theorizing that they acted like pulsating spheres of highly ionized gas, which was itself a revolutionary thought at the time. When he applied his gas-law findings to normal stars he discovered a mass-luminosity relationship not dissimilar to the curve found by Leavitt, where the mass of a class of normal stars to which our own Sun belongs is proportional to its absolute brightness. After considerable debate in the Royal Astronomical Society meetings he published an extensive account of his mass-luminosity law in 1926. But the cepheid variables were ...
606. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents Editor's Notes Probably few articles caused more disappointment in SIS circles than John Bimson's 1986 Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba', which presented strong evidence and argument against Velikovsky's proposal that the mysterious and exotic queen who visited King Solomon was none other than the famous Egyptian female pharaoh. This removed one of the key identifications in Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos historical reconstruction and was a key factor in the rejection of his proposed chronology by Bimson and others in favour of the more moderate New Chronology'. It also took away what had seemed a romantic and satisfactory solution to the mystery of the identitity and origins of ...
607. Shamash and Sin [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... :1 , p. 34, caught my attention, not least because my name popped up in the short discussion. Whoever is responsible for the item is correct in maintaining that the symbol was used by a wide variety of people way before the foundation of Islam' and is usually interpreted as representing Ishtar and Sin', who are normally identified as Venus and the Moon'. In parenthesis it is then added that: "Dwardu Cardona has pointed out that a common entry in Babylonian astrological reports was when Shamash stands in the halo of Sin' but for Cardona, Shamash is Saturn." It is then asked, Is Sin even the Moon? '. An ...
608. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... set for a major bout of circular reasoning. Once pottery types were defined as contiguous with each phase of the temple, it remained only to apply the same set of dates for examples of that pottery wherever else they may turn up- a perfectly valid proposition if the date attributed to each Pharaoh also happens to be correct. Whereas the normal concept is for a tight-knit succession leading from Dynasty XIX directly to XX (see table below), the whole object of this exercise is to demonstrate that, in reality, it was not so, and that a much more recent date for Dynasty XX is mandatory. From Rothenberg's point of view, the conventional successions portray a very ...
609. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... against the relative suddenness of discontinuities, and not simply assume for them a time-scale which satisfies our preferences or assuages our hidden fears." One issue of Catastrophist Geology has so far been published, with comments from a large number of interested researchers and papers by H.C . Dudley (a chapter from his Kronos Press book), Normal MacBeth (Whimsical Aspects of Scientific Theory), W.J . Jong (Actualism in Geology and Geography, reprinted from a Dutch geological journal) and Vit Klemes (Geophysica1 Time Series and Catastrophism, a paper presented at the McMaster symposium). The two earlier papers enquire into the "scientific process"; Jong's, while scorning ...

... traces of prehistoric activity were to be found there, this would constitute archaeological proof of the astronomical theories.(3 ) Dr. MacKie's subsequent excavations on the ledge were, however, disappointing and, indeed, embarrassing. Not only was the ledge found to be undoubtedly natural,(4 ) there was an utter lack of the "normal archaeological signs of human activity- no potsherds or artefacts of any kind were found during the excavations, nor any fragments of charcoal such as might have come from fires. Neither were there any signs of postholes, kerb stones or any structural remains".(5 ) A compact layer of stones was, however, discovered behind a ...
