... , which corresponds to surface electrical properties and surface temperature, correlates strongly with altitude. There are some exceptions to this pattern. High altitude temperatures are often much lower than would be expected on the basis of the adiabatic lapse rate of minus 9 K/km. The conventional view is that the higher emissivity is largely due to the surface chemical composition being different in the highlands. The greenhouse effect would have the surface temperature conforming to the lapse rate. Figure 1. A typical Venusian sinuous rille. The scale bar = 10km. They tend to grow narrow and shallow towards their termini. They are widely distributed in the equatorial regions. 6. Lightning "The most striking ...
272. The Oceans [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... thesis. Each predicts mutually exclusive distributions and thicknesses of these sediments. Because the sea floor moves away from the mid-ocean rift, located at the ridges at a rate of about three centimeters or less per year, over long periods of time, detritus in the various forms of clay, silt, mud, shells of various organisms, and chemicals in solution will settle on this moving seabed. Therefore, as expected, the older and more distant the sea floor is from the ridge, the more time it has to collect all this detritus. Based on plate tectonics, the level of sediment should grow ever deeper and deeper with distance from the ridge. Velikovsky's theory requires very ...
273. A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Gigantism and Longevity [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... [of God] that "he hung the earth on nothing"7 The council of Tours in 1163 AD. forbade the study of physics to all ecclesiastics, which meant the prohibition of scientific studies to the only persons who were even moderately equipped to pursue them. The Dominicans similarly interdicted the study of medicine, natural philosophy, and chemistry. With the church a most powerful institution at the time, such attitudes on the part of religious leaders could scarcely have provided fruitful soil for the development of science, Historically, many societies have paid a very stiff price for letting attitudes become unconsciously- or subconsciously- molded or predetermined. It is unimportant whether the instrument of imposed ...
274. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is reported to show negligible erosion, and I think there are reasons for supposing that this is because it was recently molten and is cooling from this condition, hence the high surface temperature - more than can be attributed to the runaway greenhouse effect. Pioneer showed a large heat surplus compared with solar input."

276. Chapter 2 The Sphinx [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the sand that had accumulated in the enclosure was completely soaked a few inches below the surface. ' As we know that the Sphinx was covered with sand throughout much of history . . . it is very likely that for much of its existence the Sphinx lay in a bog of wet sand. The moisture in the sand would have accelerated chemical weathering. Why, Harrell argued, has Schoch not considered such possibilities? He rejected Schoch's case as poorly supported' and outlandish. ' Schoch replied to Harrell's paper, dismissing his arguments as ad hoc theorizing. The minutiae of their arguments are not important, as Harrell's main point about chemical weathering had already been developed fully by Gauri ...

... reported at a depth of 5000 m. Various organisms inhabiting the surface waters (algae and planctonic animals in particular form the food components of deep-water fauna and thus the ecological relations between plankton and benthos make the protective action of the "water shield" far less powerful. Radiation genetics. Biologic change may occur in two ways. Physical and chemical agents can effect the embryo, in which case the modification is not inherited and thus of no importance to evolution. Inherited changes take place in the chromosomes, by recombination of genes in crossing and in mutation in particular. Mutation can be of two types: the "spontaneous" mutations caused probably mainly by the constant background radiation, ...
278. Concepts of Collective Memory [Articles]
... is another type of loss that once the memory is stored, the place where it's stored can be damaged, we think primarily in terms of brain damage, although from what psychologists have decided about memory, it seems to be very difficult to tell specifically what it is, there seems to be a great emphasis these days being made to chemical storage processes, not molecular rearrangements. There are neurological models, electrical models. But the idea that we are not actively repressing those kind of contents, it's just that they are either improperly stored to start with, or they have been damaged and lost since the time they were stored, and I think if we look at catastrophism ...

... or which are far from equilibrium. In such systems the unexpected occurs, and the results are visibly creative' (and in stark contrast to Gould's natural selection which is only creative' because he posits it so). I can do no better than to quote Davies here: "As we have seen from many examples in physics and chemistry, such systems may reach critical bifurcation points' at which they leap abruptly into new states of organizational complexity. It seems clear that it is this tendency, rather than random mutation and natural selection, that is the essential mode of progressive biological evolution. .. . "The power behind evolutionary change, then, is the continual ...
280. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... `paradigms, ' it appears to me that Kuhn gravely underestimates the ability that most `normal' scientists have to justify by evidence the most general theories that they hold, and to discredit the ones that they reject, even if they do not usually bother to do so. If someone insists, for example, that water is a chemical element, she can be shown water being electrolyzed into two gases with differing properties; and informed of a host of other phenomena which can hardly be explained otherwise than by water being a chemical compound, as opposed to an element. The fact that the corroboration or falsification of theory by evidence cannot be made logically watertight, but is ...
