... (1946); the Sun is charged (1950); Venus is very hot, has a heavy atmosphere, and was disturbed in its rotation and may have an anomalous rotation (1950); Mars' atmosphere contains quantities of argon and neon (1945); Mars is moon-like, battered, and geologically active (1950); ... Helmholtz, Hermann von: 1904, Popular Lectures on Scientific Subjects, Longmans, Green, and Co., New York. Humphreys, Willard C.: 1968, Anomalies and Scientific Theories, Freeman, Cooper & Company, San Francisco. Jordan, Pascual: 1955, Science and the Course of History, translated by Ralph Manheim, ...
192. Thoth Vol II, No. 18: Nov 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... or another planet or moon. A difficulty may arise from the fact that the composition of the asteroid will be judged from its exposed surface. Now, chondritic meteorites exhibit anomalous isotopic composition on the surface of the melted chondrules. As I have explained in detail on the CD, this is likely to be due to ion implantation etc. ... more recently, we've learned a little about nuclear fusion, so the majority of astronomers support the hypothesis that the sun is a gravitating fusion factory, with a few magnetic anomalies that still need to be explained (new worries: where are those missing neutrinos?) The Electric Universe is no different. We're taking a concept that's become familiar ...
193. The Earth's Physical and Magnetic History [Books] [de Grazia books]
... explosion, it has also gained some materials from the explosions of foreign bodies (see Chapters Eleven and Fourteen); the search to explain ore, salt, and other anomalous bodies embedded in the surface must begin with a study of their possibly cataclysmic accretion. The mineral structure of the Earth harbors magnetism, which is the capacity of some ... directed perpendicularly to the plane of the major internal current (see inset). The net motion is the observed drift of the magnetic dip poles. Not only can surface anomalies be explained by celestial intrusion, but so can the wander of the dip poles, a vector sum of the complex wobbling. If large electrically charged bodies passed close ...
194. Pterodactyls in the Mesozoic: A Flap in Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... there was a general cooling of climatic conditions which some paleontologists believe contributed to the ultimate demise of the dinosaurs, while, as a counterargument, others point to the otherwise anomalous proliferation of speciation during this same time frame. This extensive cooling, however, was rather episodic at best, indicative of catastrophic occurrences that punctuated the Mesozoic. A ... Berkeley investigated a thin rock layer near Gubbio, Italy, and, along with his Nobel-laureate father, Luis Alvarez, unexpectedly found what is now called the "iridium" anomaly in this layer separating the Cretaceous from the Tertiary Periods- the K-T boundary which demarcated the Great Extinction some 65 million years ago, [9 ] although some split ...
195. Erratic Events in the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... discovery, but it did indicate the possible resolution of other difficulties; i.e ., the eccentric paths of meteorites (if arising from ejection processes) and the anomalous' Babylonian tablet observations. Evidently, if Venus was formed in a Cosbod type process, then some factor or factors other than simple gravitational and electrical forces between the ... which has low conductivity. A discharge of positive ions comprising a current of electricity similar to a bolt of lightning on a grand scale would probably be initiated by a local anomaly, such as an eruption at the core boundary caused by a change of state followed by contraction, sudden increase of spin and consequent turbulence. Another cause might be ...
196. THE SURFACE OF VENUS--"A NEWBORN BABE" [Journals] [Aeon]
... with regards to the thesis outlined by Immanuel Velikovsky in 1950. As this essay has sought to show, the evidence from Venus is fully consistent with the thesis of its anomalous origin and tumultuous recent history as set forth in Worlds in Collision. Indeed, it is this author's sincere hope that the day will come when members of the scientific ... (27) [italics added]. From this it is quite clear that volcanism rather than impact is the dominant cause of cratering on Venus. Pancake-Shaped Domes and Other Anomalies Among the strangest features found on Venus is a series of pancake-shaped domes. This surprising discovery was recounted in the New York Times as follows: At the news conference ...
197. Intensity, Scope and Suddenness [Books] [de Grazia books]
... affecting all people? Was a universal genetic archetype of the human mind bound to erect this cosmogony? Was it a consensus of observers? Scientists are not dealing here with anomalies, ' but with a universal set of consistent allusions. The detail is so extensive as to rebuff facile explanations; one ought not merely to conjecture archetypes, ' ... exoterrestrialism; few volcanologists would deny the repeated occurrence of such phenomena and some might dwell upon much grander episodes. Earlier we have sought evidence of fall-out. The archives of anomalistics, as R.W . Wescott has employed the word [5 ], and which William James referred to as "the unclassified residuum," are replete with ...
198. Geomagnetic Reversals? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a net negative charge (of -1.5 x 1028 esu). ' Michelson (1974) notes that Bailey's value is of the right order to account for the anomalous perihelion drift of Mercury. Nongravitational effects are apparent in the majority of comet orbits, some comets showing secular accelerations and others showing decelerations. Djuric has pointed out that ... this period is largely spurious. The weight of evidence suggests otherwise, however, and other data will be quoted to support this view. Nöel and Tarling also mention an anomaly dated to 860 BC. This remarkably recent date coincides with data presented by Folgheraiter on measurements of Greek and Etruscan vases which indicate an event in the 8th century BC ...
199. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... heretofore as going out radially from the ice sheet depression zones or shields". the physical chemistry of oil is better accounted for by this model than by any uniformitarian theory anomalous pressures and pressure gradients are common in oil wells; the rock permeabilities are such that these could not develop gradually, or survive for more than a short time Fossils ... There is some conflict between the two, and this is noted, but the fundamental argument is that the chronologies, especially those based on pottery, are inflated. Chronological anomalies are shown up for all areas, with a consistent bias to higher dates and to the creation of artificial "dark ages". This will be a familiar argument ...
... from a common origin and ancestry, to people and to plant all the continents of the earth, with the possible exception of Australia, whose flora and fauna are certainly anomalous and possibly indigenous." In section fourth (pp. 28-34) the author briefly touches upon some of the surface features of the globe peculiarly favorable to the southward ... lances steeped in never-failing deadliest poisons. To every foe they could oppose an almost impenetrable hide, a mail of horny scales, a solid shell. He, by strangest anomaly, was destitute of all. He was a naked and defenseless babe in the Indian jungle of Earth's fierce and venomous carnivora. He had not a weapon, not ...
