... the origins of stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, meteoroids, rings, Sun & planet spots; the latest on the hypothetical "tenth planet" beyond Pluto; an alternative to the Oort cloud of comets and the "dirty snowball" comet model; and much more. Since the book deals primarily with observational puzzles and anomalies that don't fit conventional models, many viable alternative models are described. Additional topics treated: The possibility of faster-than-light travel in forward time The speed of propagation of gravity Origin of redshift and microwave radiation in the universe Reasons why black holes don't exist Evidence that quasars are nearby, and what they are About gravitational shielding The cause and nature ...
442. Jupiter in Collision: In Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ancient Middle Eastern history. This search, born of the realisation that both Egyptians and Israelites alike went through a great physical upheaval, gave rise to the most influential work on catastrophism published this century. Hebrew traditions of the red and poisonous Nile, the impenetrable darkness, the hot stones from heaven, the great winds and noise, the anomalous behaviour of insects and animals and the tidal effect at the Sea of Passage were collected and matched to the other worldwide traditions, convincing Velikovsky that the Exodus event was part of a global upheaval caused by the passage of the Earth through the tail of a giant protoplanet. Velikovsky drew his original inspiration not from Exodus but from an event ...

444. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the dating of the event appear later than it actually was. It would have produced shock waves, earthquakes and a mushroom cloud. SARGON II AND SENNACHERIB - COULD THEY BE THE SAME PERSON? Damien Mackey certainly thinks so and believes he has enough evidence to support his case. If his theory were correct could this, perhaps, explain anomalies concerning the chronology of the 25th Ethiopian Dynasty in relation to Assyria at the time of Sargon and Sennacherib? Further details hopefully available later. WANTED A member would like to obtain a copy of A Guide to Immanuel Velikovsky's Reconstruction of Ancient History, by Robert W Compton. If you have a copy you do not want, or know ...
445. The Erratic Descent of Man [Books]
... [42,70]. As we discussed in chapter 4, a detailed analysis of available marine fossil evidence by David Raup and John Sepkoski has indicated that mass extinctions occurred about 11 Myr ago [71,72], although on a much smaller scale than those at the end of the Permian and Cretaceous Periods. An iridium abundance anomaly has suggested the possible involvement of an impact in the Miocene extinctions [72-74], and impact craters which are of at least approximately the right age, ranging in diameter from 10 to 24 km, have been found at Karla, USSR; Haughton, Canada; and Ries, Germany [75-77]. Perhaps a little later, ...
446. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... mean and maximum lunar effect. Marduk's passage would have had insignificant tidal effect on Earth unless Sitchin can show that Marduk passed much closer, the distance being more effective than mass for tide raising; and this explanation for the Flood directly conflicts with Velikovsky's hypothesis that it was associated with a disturbance in Saturn. Sitchin's scenario also contains a gravitational anomaly in that, according to his interpretation of his sources, the Nefilim were fearful only of the passage by Saturn and relieved by the sight of Jupiter which is now 3.3 times as massive. Although this would possibly fit the pre-Deluge situation in the Velikovskian scenario, such comparisons are futile because Sitchin's model contains Venus from the primordial ...
447. Resistance to Scientific Innovation [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the possible humiliation experienced by mainstream scientists who suddenly find their life's work is wrong, or, if they have to consider a new paradigm, may have to risk the loss of the job, existing friends and even family. Flaws in the educational system give a false aura of authority, where there is often little mention of limitations, anomalies and assumptions with a scientific theory, and the history of science is also neglected. The peer review system can not handle major change in paradigms, and it is also flawed: (a ) It is anonymous (b ) there are no disclosed conflicts of interest (c ) there are no rights of appeal. Perhaps if the ...

... However, two paragraphs later, they report a possible 11,000 year feldspar (sanidine) gave them datings of several hundred thousand years. 2. 83 Geol. Soc. Amer.

... other organisations such as the British Society of Dowsers. Recently he had become interested in the electric universe' theory of Laszlo Kortvelyessy. Derek Allan Sadly Derek Allan died in early 2001, after a long battle with cancer. Derek had a longstanding interest in catastrophism, collaborating with Charles Hapgood and Bernard Delair. An article by him on Arctic Anomalies' is in preparation for publication and a full obituary will appear in the next issue of C&CR. Daniel Kline (1917-2000) I was first introduced to Daniel Kline through his book Thomas Young Forgotten Genius (Vidan Press, Cincinnati, 1993, reviewed in C&CW 1993:2 pp. 31-32). Like his ...
450. A Further Response to Marvin Luckerman [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Age dates brings these tombs down to the late 8th century B.C ., while the compression of the Iron Age which I propose places most of the Cyprus examples in the 7th century B.C . (to which some are dated already). There is no question of a gap of 500 years here. Many other 500-year anomalies are similarly removed, and I know of none which remain outstanding. Further articles in preparation for SIS Review will illustrate this. Mr. Luckerman's final remark, concerning the Egyptian and Assyrian criteria used in dating the Late Bronze and Iron Ages respectively, overlooks the fact that some important Assyrian criteria have themselves been wrongly dated. I have ...
