... the thin sima than beneath the thick sial; furthermore, some interception must occur at the two or more levels of the mantle where striking seismic discontinuities are observed; indeed, it should perplex the conductionists that these seismic barriers even exist, for would not eons of convection have effectively erased what, after all, can only be levels of chemical mineral differentiation? Seismic studies show that the Earth below the surface is stratified; what else could seismic discontinuities mean? The thickness of the Earth's crust, as the physicist P. Jordan once said, is a breath of air blown upon a desk globe. The breath should be unevenly blown, for the continental portion is 40 km ...
242. Ice Cores and Common Sense Part 1 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... per million in the cloudy bands to as much as one part per thousand in the ash layers. The estimated ages range from 43,500 to 7500 years old. Byrd Station is about 250 miles downwind from several recently active volcanoes.[7 ] One of them, Mt. Takahe, has been implicated as the probable source by chemical analysis of the ash.[8 ] At Mizuho Station, "Only one visible dirt band was found at 500.7 m below the surface. Its thickness is 49 mm. . . ." Its age is estimated as 7000 years.[9 ] A layer of volcanic ash some 5 centimeters thick was found at a ...
243. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... In the realm of legend, challenges to radiochronometry emerge as well. The following abstract from Catastrophist Geology may be quoted in its entirety [6 ]: Lake Bosumtwi (diameter 8 km) in Ghana is by geologists generally interpreted as the impact scar of an extraterrestrial body, and the Ivory Coast tektite field has been correlated with it on chemical and geochronological grounds. The Dogons, who live 800 km away in Mali, preserve an ancient tradition attributing the Lake to the fall of a fiery metallic mass of unusual dimensions. This legend is also an integral part of the cosmogony of many other West African peoples, such as Mandingoes and Bambaras. Many priests make a pilgrimage to ...
244. The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory [Books]
... diabolism, the evil principle of life, as a product of the primal fear. Possibly Freud's "death - instinct" can be indicated as its product, as well. How do we operationalize the concept "fear"? How many stones of the Cathedral of Notre Dame were laid by fear? Whatever stimulates in an organism reactions of chemical and perceived malaise, avoidance, and hostility produces fear. The greater the scope and intensity of the stimulus (which we may call deprivation, also) the greater the fear and anxiety. The word "fear" more precisely denotes any one or a combination of chemical and behavioral activities of the organism the sheer enumeration of which would ...

Lake Bosumtwi (diameter 8 kms) in Ghana is by geologists generally interpreted as the impact scar of an extraterrestrial body, and the Ivory Coast tektite field has been correlated with it on chemical and geochronological grounds. The Dogons, who live 800 kms away in Mali, preserve an ancient tradition attributing the Lake to the fall of a fiery metallic mass of unusual dimensions.

246. Retired Don's Simple Sum Uncovers A Global Error [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Retired Don's Simple Sum Uncovers A Global Error 3 May 1998 From The Sunday Telegraph, 3 May 1998 http://www.telegraph.co.uk, by Robert Matthews. A CHEMISTRY professor has embarrassed experts by pointing out a flaw in their predictions about the warming of the Earth's atmosphere. David Taylor, an emeritus professor of chemistry living in retirement in Scarborough, has examined the claims for global warming - and, in particular, the argument that pollution must be to blame. He claims to have made an astonishing discovery: the mere act of burning fossil fuel may heat ...
247. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... that the Universe is "inexorably degenerating, sliding irreversibly towards a state of maximum entropy or chaos" He tells how scientists are now beginning to realise the way out of this paradox: matter and energy seem to possess the innate ability to self-organise! Prof Davies gives many examples of self-organisation: from the Benard instability to the laser; from chemical reactions occurring far from equilibrium that take the form of synchronised pulsations to the self-organised ring systems of Jupiter and Saturn; from the organised patterns of electrical activity arising spontaneously in electronic networks to the exquisitely organised steps in the development of an embryo from its parent DNA. Self-organising systems are invariably open rather than closed - they can exchange energy ...
248. Of Racial Memory. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... if the plant were repatriated to its earlier soil and climate, is at the base of the modem dispute about the inheritance of acquired characteristics. A change in the germ cells (sperm, ova) would result in inheritable new characteristics; but it is assumed that only somatic cells are susceptible to variation. Yet it cannot be denied that chemical processes or endocrine disturbances in an organism can decidedly influence the plasma cells, in which case the progeny would exhibit an inherited defect which occasionally can also be transmitted to subsequent generations. The question thus boils down to the problem of whether outside influences- via the somatic cells or even directly- can affect the germ cells. Somatic cells ...
249. Io's wandering plumes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... circular crater it has just burnt to the nearest high point - often the rim of the same crater." This statement was repeated in another item about the Prometheus "volcano" on 7th November. The "migrating plumes" of this report are the moving cathode jets. They are not seen on Earth. As for determining the internal chemistry of Io from the surface sulfur deposits, this is another blind alley entered from the assumption that what are being looked at are volcanoes. The sulfur is being created at the point where the arc impinges on the surface. Each sulfur atom is formed by "fritting" two atoms of oxygen in the powerful electric field of the arc ...
250. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... His introductory exposition on the metaphysical basis of modern science left the audience in no doubt that the thinking of many scientists is not so rooted in some objective truth as they would like to think. The beauty of Dr Sheldrake's theory is that it is truly scientific in the sense that it can be tested. He gave some interesting examples from chemistry and biology which appeared to bear his theory out. It was interesting to note that results published within establishment organisations often belied this, due, according to inside information, to the discarding of results which did not fit orthodox expectations. He was currently running a further experiment using a crossword in the Evening Standard. An initial run had ...
