... and associates on the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions illustrate the point. The superseding of dinosaurs by large mammals is known, with their accompanying less dramatic extinctions and creations. Also now a chemical boundary is known. By one count, "Iridium-rich layers marking the end of the Cretaceous Period have now been found at more than two dozen locations around the world ... , no matter how "senselessly." The species is a whole, just as a culture is a whole. How can it be that, amidst the millions of chemicophysico transactions always occurring in the human body, a shot of adrenal hormone, prompted by a scare, is practically simultaneously counteracted by a hormone to prevent over-reaction to the ...
212. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Neptune, and Pluto, and look up the accepted figures for surface gravitational acceleration in any good text on astronomy, or in the holy scripture of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, on which we were all raised. If you get tired of the Solar System, then try it on anything else in the universe that happens along ... "obviously wrong" only in an historical period in which life is relegated to an accidental status in the universe, as derivative of inanimate "soups" of the proper chemical ingredients. Life is certainly locked into water. And for those who held that life is fundamental rather than derivative, the pivotal basis of life would have great cosmological ...

Rasool, S.I ., and DeBergh, C., Nature, ... attempt is made to circumvent the problem(18) by treating the observations as in error but it has had to be admitted that an interior heat source, or a chemically energetic rain carrying solar energy from the clouds to the surface (a sort of inverse latent heat) or a secular cooling of the atmosphere, is possible. The ...
214. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... That most of it has not reacted with the exposed surface rocks is termed "surprising" [107], possibly Venus' atmospheric gases have recently been modified. The chemistry of the deep and dense Venus clouds has been inferred only by indirect evidence despite the passage of several spacecraft through them. Above the clouds, which seemingly insulate the ... welding" done by Mars [115]. To extract from these hills and from the canyons of Mars comparable material is presently impracticable, even though we may conceive of chemical tests to apply to the material thus obtained. Juergens has gone further in the investigation of electrical encounters between Moon and Mars. On the assumption that the ray-surrounded crater ...
215. Minds in Chaos [Books] [de Grazia books]
... mutation among survivors; the mechanism of evolution is not competition between typical and chance-mutant offspring of common parents, but divergent mutation of whole populations simultaneously exposed to unaccustomed radiation, chemical pollution of the atmosphere, and global electromagnetic disturbances; ancient cities and fortresses were not brought low individually by local warfare and earthquakes, but were destroyed simultaneously and repeatedly ... and inertia only, to the exclusion of electromagnetic forces. Longwell scorned the notion that petroleum might have a cosmic origin. [Prof. W. F. Libby, chemist of the University of California, has since suggested that petroleum may be found on the moon. Prof. A. T. Wilson of Victoria University, Wellington, ...
216. The Night of the Gods Vol II [Books]
... is perhaps the most ancient science in the world, one is giving a grand patent of nobility to modern scientific astronomy, which developed out of sacred astrology, just as chemistry out of alchemy; and mediaeval alchemy again, as is well known, was intimately wedded to, welded into, astrology. St. Augustine's account of his addiction ... nous fumes au font qui tremble, Bien ttonn6s De nous voir entre deux manfagrres Si oppresstss, D'ouir les ondes de la mer En gra'nde tourmente ; Compagnon, nous faut cheminer Sans demeurance.

... working titles) had already been tentatively accepted for publication. But Velikovsky set the manuscript aside. An already-prepared second paper in the new Scripta Academica series (Researches on the Chemical Structure of Proteins and the Action of Proteinases by Andor Fodor [1939]) was published, but Velikovsky abandoned further work on his proposed Jerusalem Academy, just as ... his "hope that you are ashamed enough to bury the past completely and let us all forget this temporary bit of nonsense." The next day, an Amherst College chemist, David C. Grahame, also blasted the editorial staff for publicizing Velikovsky's "absurd" theories and called for "some sort of amendment." (80) ...
218. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... . These waters, formed originally in and repelled from, that great laboratory, the primitive earth, skirted the boundaries of a vast and remarkable atmosphere, with which the chemist, the geologist, and the enlightened astronomer are familiar. . . . The whole range of ancient writings, both sacred and profane, abundantly prove this." ... life by sifting out of the sunbeam those radio activities which hold the earth and all on it in a death dealing environment, by subjecting the organic world to the solar chemism that vitalizes and makes a fruit bearing organism. When the canopy fell, the slowly generating organism felt the hastening touch of actinic nature and began a more rapid and ...

... , coral reefs would reestablish themselves on these coastal shelves and grow rapidly in the warm waters. During the process of building these thousands of reefs all across the Earth, chemical combination reactions join calcium and groups made up of bicarbonates in the ocean which form carbonate deposits. But the by-product of this reaction is carbon dioxide. This gas can ... dioxide during deglaciation: The coral reef hypothesis," Naturwissenschaft, Vol. 69 (1982), pp. 87-88. 106.

... through additional research, by which the effects of the Saturnian events could be tested. These tests touched upon a wide range of subjects from such diversified fields as astrophysics, chemistry (both organic and otherwise), geology, paleontology, botany, palaeobotany, entomology, dendrochronology, ecology, and others. In the years that followed, Ashton ... its powerful pulses across the axis of the binary." An induced magnetic field rotated around this enormous axial current. This field consisted of ionized gases containing a number of chemical elements. Stacked above each other, a number of smaller planets, including Earth, rotated inside this magnetic tube in the atmosphere of which they had originally evolved. ...
