... of radium 226. It has a half life of 1620 years. The radium 226 was probably created by cosmic lightning bolts [35]. 17. A range of anomalous colorful low mountains appears to have been welded onto the Moon as debris from an external body (Mars)[36]. 18.* The Moon's atmosphere is ... ] indicating exposure to a recent immense radiation flare. 12. Heat flows outward from the subsurface, showing subsurface recent disturbances [31]. 13. Thermo-luminescence tests showed anomalies on close sub-surface rocks resulting from thermal disturbances during the last 10,000 years [32]. 14. The greatest crater, Aristarchus, and many others, ...
52. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... "Or did the [Transantarctic Mountains], the mightiest in Antarctica, also lurch and rise upwards thousands of feet?"(8 ) Such geologically recent fossils in anomalous locations allow one to place the Antarctic along with the Arctic as a zone of polar perplexity. Two other field discoveries reinforce the issues raised by Eocene forests growing in ... rely on averaging to date ice. On other matters: The bulge that Hall refers to has no relevance in these discussions because the ocean-continent dichotomy is gravimetrically invisible and gravity anomalies do not correlate with land forms because of isostasy. If the assemblage of continents were as significant as Hall thinks, then we'd expect the continents to be either distributed ...
53. Mons Veneris [Journals] [Aeon]
... very "difficult." (Fig. 8) Babylonian figures showing the crescent of Sin set atop a pole-like standard. But there is more to be learned from the anomalous relationship between Sin and Nergal/Mars. Consider, for example, the following passage: "Sin and Nergal guard the middle earth." (85) What ... (Inanna, Ishtar), and Mars (Nergal), show the respective celestial bodies in positions which are impossible given the current arrangement of the Solar System. Such anomalies have long posed problems of interpretation for translators of the ancient texts, the latter of whom frequently resort to "emending" or "correcting" the texts in question ...
54. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... more evidence of this instability, but also will contribute to our understanding of the nature of this instability. Velikovsky believed he had found evidence that parts of Homer's Iliad described anomalous behavior within the solar system, particularly involving Venus, Mars and the Moon. (4 ) Figure 1, below, is my rendition of the ancient Greek duel ... to eclipse the Sun, either planet would have had to be large and out of orbit, abnormally close to the Earth. I will present examples to suggest that such anomalies occurred frequently. With luck, the examples themselves will reveal the reasons for their occurrence. Trisms can often appear as one object hanging between two celestial bodies. In ...
55. Has Science Got it Wrong? – Remarks on the Arctic [Journals] [SIS Review]
... such as would be needed to account for the cross-bedding – the actual mechanism responsible for these patterns has so far eluded definition. Not withstanding the failure to satisfactorily explain such anomalous features, the physical production of the Drift' enmasse seemingly necessitated a relentless, fierce, and fast-acting agent, such as water or wind, or a combination of ... silty alluvium. Confused mixtures', of course, reflect agitated depositional conditions – the very opposite of those usually associated with slow-acting ice. Sometimes the Drift' provides other anomalies. For instance, here and there within its fabric variable patterns of cross-stratification are discernible, although in the absence of turbulence effects – such as would be needed to ...

... . LI, No. 201: March 1977) and a more popular account in the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS of June 1977. Elsewhere in this journal, the problem of anomalous radiocarbon dates is discussed: it is reassuring to find that the NATURE report includes such dates, though recognising that they are archaeologically unacceptable. The odd dates are of ... second detailed report on the Cuello excavation which includes these new dates has just appeared in Nature (Vol. 267, 16th June, 1977). Referring to the earlier anomalies discussed above, the report asserts that they "are considered too late by more than a millennium to be acceptable, although no certain cause or source of contamination has ...

... the quality and/or quantity of these anomalies can no longer be ignored, a "crisis" occurs: The search begins for a bigger box that will convert the anomalous into the expected. Kuhn lists several characteristics of crisis: a proliferation of ad hoc explanations, a willingness to try anything, recourse to philosophy, expressions of discontent ... discovery of some puzzles that can't be solved. The pieces that won't fit into the box are usually set aside. But when the quality and/or quantity of these anomalies can no longer be ignored, a "crisis" occurs: The search begins for a bigger box that will convert the anomalous into the expected. Kuhn lists several ...

... ? According to Arp, the simplest explanation is background starlight. The calculations work. But there is another mystery that needs explanation. The spectral shift of the CMB is anomalous. It appears as if "we" (the observers) are moving through the CMB at a rate 3 times as fast as the sun is orbiting the Milky ... dark matter pulling both "us" (Milky Way, Local Group? Solar System? Earth?) and the Virgo Cluster in. Here's an all-sky view of the anomaly http//antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030209.html What do I think it is? I don1t know. Perhaps it's the glow ...

... the galaxy in front of it. This is astounding because the farther away an object is, the greater its redshift is supposed to be. [Other examples of such anomalous red shifts are known. Three possible conclusions are: (1 ) the redshift-distance law is wrong, upsetting the Big Bang Theory; (2 ) some galaxies and ... many earthquake precursors and suggests that most can be explained in terms of positive ion emission from the earth due to pre-quake strains. (Tributsch, Helmut; "Do Aerosol Anomalies Precede Earthquakes?" Nature, 276:606-608, 1978.)

60. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... consists of molecular clouds rather than old, dead stars [79]. Further support has come from Clube and Napier, who have argued that the current solar orbit is anomalously flat, possibly because of encounters during the recent passage through Gould's Belt, an appendage of the Orion arm of the Galaxy [85]. A totally different mechanism ... impact of an asteroid, the debate about the contribution of such catastrophes to evolution has developed apace [2-8]. The Alvarez group showed that there was an iridium abundance anomaly at various sites at the Cretaceous-Tertiary (C-T) boundary in marine sedimentary rocks, conventionally dated to be about 65 million years (Myr) before the present (B ...
