... their recent demise. This book is one of the classics of catastrophe literature. Evolutionary Geology and the New Catastrophism by G.M . Price. 1926, 352 pp., $18.95p. Price was an early catastrophist at a time when uniformitarianism ruled with an iron fist. He systematically and rationally presented some of geology's major anomalies- particularly in stratigraphy. Chapter titles include: The Modern Onion-Coat Theory; "Deceptive Conformity"; Upside Down; Extinct Species; Skipping; Graveyards; Degeneration; Fossil Men. Price was a creationist, but his book is devoid of theology. The Aerial World by G. Hartwig 1886, 560 pp., $26. ...
262. The Solar System as a Binary [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . In this cosmogony one looks backward and forward in time, confident that the world has been and will be found in place under known conditions. One assumes the order of things in accord with a three-hundred-year-old theory backed up by centuries of systematic observations. Occasionally, but nowadays with increasing frequency, new scientific discoveries are "surprising" or anomalous, within the frame of the cosmogony. For instance, devastation has been wide-spread both on the Earth and on the other planets whose surface details are visible. Because theories had not predicted such instability, these disruptive events are insistently termed episodic and localized, and relegated to remote times. As will be shown, the prevailing cosmogony of ...
263. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... : Radio noise from Jupiter, strong charge on Jupiter (1953); Earth's extensive magnetosphere (1956); an extensive magnetic field in the solar system extending to Pluto (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); there have been many reversals of Earth's magnetic poles (1950); Some of Earth's petroleum was deposited only a few thousand years ago (1950). And successful deductions about ...
264. Celestial Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... exercise in futility. Henry Zemel retorts: Mr. Twose has raised several issues that bear further investigation. As he notes, rings are not the only agents that could have swept asteroids out of the ecliptic. Once astronomers acknowledge that something is odd about the distribution of asteroid inclinations, I expect conventional science will propose several explanations for the anomaly. As for Jupiter and its Lagrangian companions, to which Twose draws attention, they "groove" around an orbit which can be adequately explained by gravitational theory, and perhaps other inverse square laws such as those involving charges. Electromagnetic theories of the Solar System show promise, but, as far as I've been able to determine, ...
265. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times -- Part II [Journals] [Kronos]
... largely ignored by the ruling groups of scholars. Velikovsky, "an extraordinary polymath," in the words of the late Columbia University classicist, Moses Hadas, was subjected to unscientific vilification. Schaeffer, Professor at the Sorbonne and a renowned excavator, has been hardly cited for his magnum opus. Few scholars have been ready to confront the anomalies of their own findings. One exception was Spiridon Marinatos, who plunged to his death in 1974 at the famous site of his work. His excavation of the Minoan culture of Thera-Santorini, from beneath the effects of the plinian explosion of the island, called international and interdisciplinary attention to the destruction of a critical portion of Mediterranean civilizations. ...
266. L'Énigme de la Structure Elliptique [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (2001). It is reliably reported (by Stuart Dunn, speaker at the ISIS AGM) that the date of the eruption of Thera is soon to be back in the news. The OC archaeological date for the eruption seems to fall in the early 18th Dynasty, say c.152 BC on OC, but a tree ring anomaly dated to 1628BC has often been linked to this very large eruption. Readers may recall my report in C&CR 1998:1 pp. 27-9 entitled (prematurely it now seems) Demise of the Scientific' Date for Thera'. I explained how one team of Greenland ice core researchers had found minute volcanic tephra particles in the ...
267. Firmament & Chaos by John Ackerman (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... experiments by Martian settlers - but also the claim of American mystic Edgar Cayce (referred to here as Casey') that our mental capabilities can be transformed by reading the Bible over and over again is strictly for afficionados. The second volume (Chaos) is potentially more interesting. It contains much useful information about the planets and their many anomalies. The discussion of the heat of Venus is of particular interest to SIS members, with a lengthy analysis of current theories and measurements taken by space probes. Ackerman argues strongly that these are evidence against the orthodox greenhouse' theory and for an internal heat source, as originally proposed by Velikovsky. However the analysis needs to be updated ...
268. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Leucas. And then, what of the Peloponnese, described in both poems as a plain? Homer's world in the Baltic and North Atlantic. In other words, Homeric geography refers to a context with a toponymy with which we are familiar, but which, if compared with the actual physical layout of the Greek world, reveals glaring anomalies that are hard to explain, if only on account of their consistency throughout the two poems. For example, the "strange" Peloponnese appears to be a plain not sporadically but regularly, and Dulichium, the "Long Island" (in Greek "dolichios" means "long") located by Ithaca, is repeatedly mentioned not ...
269. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Bass seems to have found indications that planets might become unstable and depart from the Solar System. He quoted Philip Morrison, who said that Mercury was the next to depart. A quotation from Bass: There are very few points in the Solar System where you could put a planet now and it would stay forever'. Ted Holden: Anomalies Established Science Never Told You About'. Holden picked points from a long list of anomalies. 1. Pangaea: in the Saturn thesis Earth would have been egg-shaped, with all the landmass facing Saturn. The Expanding Earth Theory, which postulates a smaller globe before the break-up of the continents, does not make sense - only the ...
270. Uniformitarian Or Catastrophist? Ice Age Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... because of its much higher solar reflectivity than water and its barrier to the escape of the oceans' heat and moisture. A second possible solution to the difficulty of a uniformitarian ice age is to propose one extreme year of high snowfall in Canada that was caused by a brief change in the general circulation of the atmosphere. Hopefully, this anomaly, combined with a solar radiation minimum (as proposed in the astronomical theory of the ice age), could cause the snow to persist through the summer and start an ice age. Williams... showed that above-normal snowfall in September caused a modest temperature decrease and probably a snow increase in October, in northern Canada. [ ...
