... historical times. There have been other theories, in this century, of catastrophes due to a natural extra-terrestrial agent. But I am sure that no catastrophism has ever been developed with so much ingenuity and comprehensiveness as by Velikovsky. The range of subjects on which his theory has led him to novel suggestions is really almost incredible: from the chemistry of Mars' atmosphere to the original of the "plumed serpent" of Mexican mythology; from the nature of manna to the cause of (the ending of) the quaternary ice age; from the origin of species to the identity of the Queen of Sheba; and so on, forever. Worlds in Collision quickly became a best-seller ...
252. The Contributors [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of The Second Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1985) Home | Issue Contents The Contributors TOM CHETWYND hails from the British Isles. He is a contributor to the SIS Group. DONOVAN A. COURVILLE, retired at present, was Associate Professor of Chemistry at Pacific Union College and later at Loma Linda University. He received his B.A . from Andrews University and his Ph.D . from the University of Washington in Organic Chemistry. He has published articles in Creation-Research Society Quarterly, Bible Science Newsletter, Journal of Christian Reconstruction, and Signs of the Times. He is the author of The Exodus Problem and its Ramifications (1971). ...
253. Fossil Radioactive Bones [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... mainly to uranium and its daughter products (Diggle & Saxon, 1965) and in others to thorium and its daughter products (see eg Bowie & Atkin, 1956). Other cenera from the same deposits (the dipnoan Dipterus and the crossopterygi an Thursius) showed no detectable radioactivity . Under my direction a student from Thames Polytechnic School of Chemistry, London, investigated this phenomenon (Bray, 1974), and noted that not only were the bones of Homostius radioactive but also the surrounding sedimentary matrix. From this it was assumed that the animal probably ingested and concentrated the uranium and thorium during its lifetime as the end product of its food chain. After death these elements remained ...
254. The Magnetic Tube and the Planetary Orbits [Books] [de Grazia books]
... progressively cooler. If no other factors influenced the gas, we would expect to find gas density increasing in successively cooler layers. However, since the magnetic field grows weaker moving outwards, the density of gas that is constrained also drops. Thus, the highest gas density would be found in the warm region surrounding the discharge. Here marked chemical changes within the gases of the plenum are expected. Because the electric discharge took the form of a pulsating arc, electrified gases could move radially during the relaxation cycle of the discharge. Gases of lighter mass move more rapidly than heavier gases and thus migrate more readily. Those atoms whose electrons could be most easily stripped off also migrated ...
255. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time. Part Two - of Earth, Fire and Water [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Moreover, springs at the bottom of the Sea and other streams also add to the salt content, and in biblical times the river Jordan was bigger than it is now, so that the real age of this basin must be much less than 13,000 years. Similar calculations have been performed in relation to the oceans and their chemical constituents. Melvin Cook, for example, points out that the annual uranium flux from river water is estimated at between 10^10 and 10^11 grams per year, whereas the total uranium in the oceans is 10^15 grams [26]. By this method of uranium dating, the age of the Earth is between ...
256. The Valley of Colours [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The following (edited) report by Dr A.M . Clark was received after the analysis had taken place: The rock from the Valley of Colours in Egypt has been studied in detail and the reddish material is hematite, Fe0, the buff coloured material is illite ( with some quartz). Illite is a rather common but chemically complex micaceous clay mineral. It is quite feasible that both these compounds were used as pigments. ' At a later date Alastair Fox, accompanied by his daughter, Heather, then took another trip to Egypt and visited the site several times. They made a rough measurement and estimated that the area was about four to five acres. ...
257. The Biological Effects Of Radiations [Books]
... , the electrons may be thrown far out of range of re-combination with their original atoms. These electrons may then be captured by other atoms to form negatively charged elements (ions). As atoms are generally parts of molecules, ionization may thus produce negatively charged and positively charged molecules, called free radicals. The latter have an extremely high chemical reactivity and will rapidly undergo further changes. New substances, of a completely different nature, may be formed in this way, and the changes will be the greater the more intense is the irradiation. If such phenomena affect the tissues of living creatures, dramatic changes may occur, with far reaching results. 3. The amount of ...

... places it is more than 360 feet above the present level of the lake. There are numerous raised beaches; and stress was put on "the freshness of many of the strandlines and the modem character of such fossils as occur."6 Further investigation into the topography of the Andes and the fauna of Lake Titicaca, together with a chemical analysis of this lake and others on the same plateau, established that the plateau was at one time at sea level, or 12 500 feet lower than it is today. "Titicaca and Poopo, lake and salt bed of Coipaga, salt beds of Uyuni, several of these lakes and salt beds have chemical compositions similar to those ...

Seismic Energy in the Central United States; v5:2 , Ball Lightning and St. Elmo's Fire as Forms of Thunderstorm Activity; Social Scientific Paradigms for Investigating Anomalous Experience; v7:4 , Progress in Explaining the Mysterious Sounds Produced by Very Large Meteor Fireballs; v8:2 , Experimental Re-Examination of the Law of Conservation of Mass in Chemical Reactions ( Using modern sensitive and, in one case, automatic weighing techniques, the results obtained reveal time-dependent and long-range gravitational irregularities which are many orders of magnitude larger than expected relativistic mass effects, indicating an apparent violation of the law of conservation of mass in this special chemical reaction.)

260. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... object or objects. Many descriptions are particularly suggestive of the release of energy in the crust, debris falling from above, and the sky obscured by cloud or darkness, a sequence of events which is virtually identical with that following an explosive volcanic eruption. I will concern myself with whether a cosmic visitation could cause high rocky eminences to spew chemicals and pulverised silica into the air. Other speakers and authors have discussed collisions with Earth of what are called solid bodies' - either single sizeable ones, or showers of little ones. As Dr Clube has pointed out, even bodies that explode in the air without striking the ground create effects that may have become the stuff of catastrophic ...
