... to an electrical condenser doesn't really describe or explain gravity, and in fact there must be at least sixteen theories from the middle as to what gravity actually is, again with no consensus in sight by the scientific community. There is still, for example, the mystery of the depressed sea level in the Indian Ocean, where a gravitational anomaly exists that might be due to a mass concentration deep within the body of Earth. No one really knows for sure. With respect to the Moon's gravity, however, I find that somewhere along the line most folk's reflective synapses seem to have shorted out. I tried jumping up with one of the grandkids riding piggyback here on planet ...
412. Quantavolution of the Biosphere: Homo Sapiens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... realization and the advent of Homo sapiens as an observer of the history of Solaria Binaria in its last stage. Radiometric chronology and geochronometry based upon gradual stratification are incongruent with the model of Solaria Binaria. The fossil record, which is the guarantor of traditional geochronometry for the phanerozoic era, is generally acknowledged to be fragmentary, disjointed, and anomalistic (Ager, ch. 3). It is beyond the scope of this book to attempt a reorganization in detail of the geological and palaeontological record, and we have had to content ourselves with using conventional labels in a preliminary sketch of the route which such a reorganization would take. Table 6 exhibits in its first part what we ...
413. The Knowledge Industry [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Nothing could be worked out in the unprestigious "School for Continuing Education." My academic readers can practice a dry run on this proposal, or another like it as carried in The Burning of Troy: their own committees might well respond similarly. Practically all universities in America capture their students with "credit courses" and find "course anomalies" as distasteful as anomalies in science. The New School for Social Research was not so impeded, although it, too, became divided into "non-credit" and "credit" areas. V. gave a successful series of lectures there in 1964. Clark Whelton also taught there a non-credit course on "the Velikovsky Question" in ...
414. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... accepts its conclusions or not. So let me say right off the bat that I, for one, find it most difficult to accept the general conclusion presented in this work to the effect that civilization only originated in the mid-second to the first millennium before the present era. That said, I commend the author of this work for the anomalies he laid bare in the orthodox chronology of history as it pertains to the ancient Near East. It is not that none of these aberrations had ever been presented before. They have- and time and again at that- by various other revisionists of ancient history, including Ginenthal himself. But it is heartening to see these many anomalies ...
415. The Velikovskian Vol. III, No. 2 & 3: Contents [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... as an explanation of Ice Ages. Iridium and other materials have been found in these ice cores that defy uniformitarian expectations. As Walter Broecker of the Lamont-Doherty Oceanographic. Observatory states: "Climate modelers should start preparing themselves for a world without Milankovitch." The Extinction of the Mammoth repeatedly breaks new ground in catastrophist theory. The number of anomalies it introduces to the reader is overwhelming, as well as thought provoking. It is a book rich in evidence presented in nontechnical language for the old and new generation of catastrophists. As Richard Leakey, son of the famous paleontologist, Louis Leakey, and Roger Lewin state: "Catastrophism is back with us, and it is real ...
416. Stonehenge: Neolithic Man and the Cosmos, by John North [Journals] [SIS Review]
... member of the horse. He makes the point that over time, and because of precession, the viewing points of the alignment have changed. The first stage of activity at the site he dates as early as 3250 BC, the second at around 2250 BC and a third at 1740 BC, dates that lie very close to significant dendrochronological anomalies, or narrow tree ring events. How much significance we should attach to these dates I am not sure, but if strange things were happening in the sky at these times one can understand why Neolithic and Bronze Age people found it imperative to look at the night sky. North even considered the viewing platform was in use in the ...
417. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... COMETS - Nature 287 4/9 /80. p.86-7 In the "Matters Arising" section, there appears a debate between L. L. Hood (against) and P. H. Schultz & L. J. Srnka (for) over the swirl-like markings on the Moon and on Mercury which are associated with magnetic anomalies and which might have been caused by cometary impacts (see WORKSHOP 2:4 , p.9 ). Schultz & Srnka reiterate their position that these must have been caused by cometary impacts, and that they are very young features. NATURE VIEWS We commented in WORKSHOP 3:1 p.19-20 on the debate over the constancy ...

... with the usual excellent mixture of news and book reviews, and the journal remains highly recommended for its engaging humour and healthily sceptical reporting. ZETETIC SCHOLAR, c/o Prof. Marcello Truzzi, Dept. of Sociology, Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti MI 48197, U.S .A . "An Independent Scientific Review of Claims of Anomalies and the Paranormal." 1 year (3 or 4 issues), $10.00. Occupying about one-third of the April 1979 double issue (Nos. 3 & 4), and of central interest to those concerned with the Velikovsky controversy, is "A Dialogue on the theories of I. Velikovsky". This is ...
419. Velikovsky at Harvard [Journals] [Pensee]
... , and which its discoverers attribute to a comet, come from? Why do the clay tablets from Assurbanipal's library, utilizing advanced mathematics, depict the celestial theater completely unlike it is today? --the length of the day, month, and year, and the positions of the moon and planets are all "wrong." Velikovsky reviewed the anomalies which, from one discipline to another, lend support to his belief that global paroxysms convulsed the Earth in historical times. In cosmology, celestial mechanics, geology, evolutionary theory, and psychology he questioned assumptions-"of Victorian vintage" --which have remained unchanged despite the accumulation of evidence against them. Finally, of the students of religion ...
420. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 33, in respect of the Habiru' of the el-Amarna correspondence being one and the same as the ibrim' of I Samuel, conventionally dated 300 years apart. The Habiru, it is suggested, disappear from literary usage 150 years after Amarna (approximately in the period of the 20th Dynasty), which Peter wishes to view as an anomaly. I would dispute his argument because he is arguing from insufficient surviving knowledge - quite simply, a dearth of relevant material during the interregnum. We just do not know precisely when the term Habiru' went out of fashion. In biblical terms, it may very well correspond to the establishment of David's kingdom which absorbed diverse elements including ...
