... magnetism of rocks and lavas, not just to photograph soil particles attractable to a magnet. As just explained, iron particles will be found in abundance. In future probes anomalous remanent magnetism will be discovered near places where electrical bolts emerged or fell. 3. To search for expressed radioactivity of the rocks and regolith, especially near large circular ... carbides and traces of aromatic hydrocarbons, and rich radioactivity of the rocks and dust- evoked exclamations of surprise and at best some far fetched, ad hoc hypotheses. Magnetic anomalies, especially where interplanetary bolts fell, and huge enclaves of neon and argon 40 in lunar rocks, were also claimed by me in advance of the findings. The ...
182. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... times. As long-time participants of catastrophism, we know quite well exactly when neo-catastrophism became fashionable. It started during the early 1980s, when Louis Alvarez and his colleagues discovered anomalously high concentrations of iridium in the clay layer which marks the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K /T ) boundary. Since iridium is not found in these extreme concentrations in the Earth's ... particular characteristics and the degree of damage afflicted upon the planet, however, would considerably differ from continent to continent, from region to region. Rather than looking for iridium anomalies, we should expect to find global or regional patterns of synchronous destructions or abandonment of sites and other archaeological evidence for natural disasters. It is beyond doubt that the ...
183. A Record of Success [Journals] [Pensee]
... Conflict (New York, 1966), 37. (Velikovsky himself does not consider this evidence as necessarily supporting his claim of near collision.) Venus may have an anomalous rotation. (W in C, passim) This follows from the claim that Venus became a member of the solar system in a separate event and experienced near collisions ... ." Velikovsky ascribed the origin of localized areas of strong radioactivity to interplanetary discharges; the so-called "rayed craters" he considered to be loci of such discharges. Magnetic anomalies also result from these discharges. A strong thermal gradient under the surface, due to disturbance in lunar motion will be found. (" Since the moon was heated ...

... , which I did, I then went on to take up much of the remaining time with two further short papers. One is to appear in Review and concerns the anomalous effect which scientific dating has on the 18th Dynasty - fixing the latter part correctly according to the conventional chronology, but making the early part of the Dynasty more than ... the curve' over that period breaks the established pattern. If, by contrast, the calibration is re-drawn assuming 750 = 400 BC, the pattern is restored and the anomaly eliminated. A date c.1160 BC for the eruption of Thera would then be consistent with the scientific chronologies. [But see M. G. L. ...

... the average before and since. It was not even approximately dipolar: the vector difference between Saturn's field and Earth's externally generated field. This net field caused formation of an anomalous magnetic striae in the crust at each side of each spreading center. Although thin, of order of magnitude (3 cm/y )( 103/y ) ... forces of the gas cloud. They soon entered the Roche limit of Helios and were dispersed into short-period comets and solar rings which in turn shrank until they disappeared as vaporous anomalies of corona and chromosphere. The nondetonated major portion of the original actinide shell remained atop the solid inner core of the new, diminished gas supergiant. This shell was ...

... igneous variety. (12) This age is unique among all meteorites- the youngest lunar meteorites are > 3.0 Gyr- and clearly marks these particular rocks as anomalous. In as much as it is commonly believed that only planets could retain the high internal temperatures necessary to produce magmas billions of years after accretion, a planet was ... appears: destruction of cattle will occur in the land." (102) Conclusion In this essay we have reviewed two radically different theories in an attempt to explain the anomaly presented by the finding of Mars-rocks upon the Earth. The first, which we may term the conventional theory, speculates that one or several major meteoritic impacts upon Mars ...

... as composite beasts or monsters, play a prominent role. But there are two good reasons for disregarding this dubious narrative category. Of these, the first is that such anomalous creatures are never the primary protagonists except in modern fiction. And the second is that the term "fable" is more ambiguous than terms for other narrative types, ...

189. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... We let the reader appraise the arguments dispassionately with the caution that theory must always bow to the demands of direct observation. We advance the following points in respect of the anomalous nature of Venus when viewed from the standard cosmogonical model, but implying the recency of Venus and its electrical nature in consonance with the thesis of this work. The ... of anode and cathode behavior that would be excited in close encounters. He has suggested, for instance, that some of the hill ranges of the Moon are so morphologically anomalistic as to represent a job of "electric welding" done by Mars [115]. To extract from these hills and from the canyons of Mars comparable material is ...

... of growth are visible from his graph in the 15th, 14th and 13th centuries BC. On p. 110, Baillie states that Kuniholm, Kromer and Manning have two anomalous tree-ring events in the seventeenth and twelfth centuries BC, exactly 470 years apart - the same spacing as in the Irish case'. This claim is quite misleading, ... think both are possible, given that the impact of material from streams of cometary debris can cause tectonic upheavals. However he assumes that he can deduce global effects from growth anomalies in Irish oaks. In the past he has warned against the tendency for well-dated events to suck in' those that are not [1 ], yet he merrily ...
