... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents ARTICLES Natural Catastrophes in the Ninth Century AD James T Palmer and Trevor Palmer Summary Records from northern Europe throughout the 9th century AD, especially during its central decades, describe political and environmental turmoil accompanied by frequent sightings of comets and other celestial phenomena. Although the evidence is insufficient for definite conclusions to be drawn, it could, with good reason, be taken to indicate that an encounter between the Earth and debris from a disintegrating giant comet occurred at this time. If 9th century archaeological, geological and climatic evidence from around the world is also taken into account, it is ...
702. Pharaoh Seti the (Great and His Foreign Connections - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... and depicted in the time flow of hieroglyphics expressed a mental formation, a causal structure which would determine the future. Anyone who does not understand this must fail to understand the real purpose of tombs, and the great effort to make them inaccessible, exact, and comprehensive. Even casual observation shows the admixture of human, animal, and celestial elements - a universe which finds its microcosmic compression in human structure. This view is not passed along as a "myth", but as a literal truth. The boundary of the ego spiraled outward to encompass the stars. There is a contrast between Pharaonic Egypt and the Orient, but not in perspective of mechanism. To both ...
703. Stonehenge: What Was It? [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 1 No. 2 (Summer 1985) Home | Issue Contents Stonehenge: What Was It?by Alban Wall There is a celestial phenomenon that numerous ancient civilizations, in their early study of the heavens, soon discovered and put to use in helping to regulate their civil and religious affairs. Simply stated it is this: "The phases of the Moon exactly repeat themselves on the same days of the year every nineteen years, but not in any year in between." Since early times, and even in some cultures today, the waxing and waning of the Moon has been the astronomical basis of the month. The Moon circles the Earth ...
704. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... by this announcement. Greenwich Observatory, when interviewed, doubted the accuracy of the alleged size of the meteor, and apparently regarded any collision with the stoic indifference of superior knowledge. American astronomers, who are concentrating on the study of meteors and comets, took it seriously and the American Press discussed the great meteor. It was probably a celestial object discovered by Dr. Baade, of Bergedorf, at the end of October, I924, and pronounced by Greenwich to be a " minor planet," which Dr. Crommelin discovered complacently had an orbit that brought it nearer to the sun than any planet except perhaps Eros. (Morning Post, October 3Ist, 1924.) ...

... type) of these stars might involve other Xe or near Xe atoms to produce transuranic elements. There are, incidentally, a relatively broad range of stable isotopes for Xe ranging from A = 124 to 138. In these ways the universe may be synthesizing heavy atoms from the lighter ones in interstellar space and in the larger, high energy celestial particles. The heaviest atoms (U , Tb, transuranic) are, of course, decaying back down the scale to lighter atoms to effect a complete cycle. The universe may, therefore, actually be in steady state as regards nuclear abundance even with respect to radioactive species. About half of the mass of the universe is in ...
706. Apocalyptic Imagery In Modern Political Spectacle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and in its centre (as the core or heart of this triumphant cosmic power) was a swastika glowing like the exploding stars which had just preceded it on the aerial screen. Here, arguably, the intention was to connect the Nazis on earth, especially the Nazi Party (the earthly object of the Rally's veneration), through the celestial swastika to the stars and heaven. This is an intent and image which we also find at the end of the infamous 1934 Riefenstahl film Triumph of the Will, when the Nazi troops at the close of that year's Nuremberg Festival are portrayed marching victoriously and unstoppably into a swastika sky. This extensive and very expensive spectacle (in the ...
707. Planetary Observations of the T'ang Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents Planetary Observations of the T'ang Dynasty by Charles B. Raspil Introduction Astronomers such as Victor Clube have now focused attention upon episodes of celestial catastrophism that may have occurred during the period from the beginning of the European Dark Ages to the era of the Black Death in the 14th Century and maybe beyond that. In explanation of such episodes, astronomers such as Clube have suggested that periodic terrestrial encounters with meteoric maelstroms - perhaps engendered by comets - have induced such catastrophes. In my researches of astronomical observations of the time, I have found evidence that may suggest other scenarios. Here, ...

... , as for instance among the Hilda group, will actually be stabilized by this resonance effect. Such resonant stabilizations have also been achieved by some of Jupiter's and Saturn's satellites. What must be stressed is that this is based on observation only. As Hartmann succinctly phrased it: "A full theoretical explanation of such resonance phenomena in terms of celestial mechanics unfortunately does not yet exist . . ." (36) In 1968, S. F. Dermott presented some evidence which indicated that such resonances between bodies in space must have become effective early in the history of the systems.(37) But, given the astronomical belief that cosmic catastrophism only takes place at rare intervals ...

... sort are out of bounds for this essay. Science, however, is not a mere exercise of the intellect, undertaken and conducted as though in a vacuum. As Kuhn admits, "external factors" are extremely influential and any exploration purporting to probe the replacement of a prevailing scientific paradigm must take them into account; like advocates of celestial mechanics, who must necessarily operate in the relatively empty Newtonian skies where no such "external factors" as magnetic forces exist, Kuhn cogitates a science operating in a relative void, an endeavor unaffected by social forces. It is precisely because Kuhn deals with scientific revolutions as though science were a clash of intellects that his approach has been ...
710. Origin And Evolution Of Solar Systems [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... mass then previously assumed. Astronomers always took it as a matter of course that stars in a spiral galaxy would revolve around the galaxy's core like planets in the solar system whose motions adhere to Newton's laws of gravitation. Newton recognized that the gravitational attraction between a planet and the Sun follows a simple rule of thumb. The attraction between two celestial objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. That means that if the distance between the Earth and the Sun were doubled, their mutual gravitational grip would lessen by a factor of four. Triple the distance, and the attraction would fall off to a ninth of its original strength, and so on. " ...
