... argue, also applies to the operation of the Sun. Atoms may be considered in the same way. The atom has long been known to be characterized by electric transactions forming both the inter-atomic linkages (which create molecules of many kinds) and the inter-atomic coupling, which defines the "electron-shells" of the atom and may even delineate the chemical elements themselves. The atom is modeled here as a plenum of charge enveloping a nucleus, which we regard as a massive, dense, compact electrical cavity. Like the cell, the atom exposes to the world a negatively charged perimeter. We therefore chose in this work to avoid speaking of negative and positive ions (say, for ...
342. Contributors [Journals] [Kronos]
... his home in Vancouver and is preparing several long-range major works on cosmic catastrophism and related subjects. He has also contributed to the SIS Workshop and CSIS Newsletter. C. Leroy Ellenberger (B .S ., Washington Univ.; M.B .A ., Univ. of Pennsylvania); Mr. Ellenberger has received degrees in chemical engineering and finance & operations research. His writings on a wide range of subjects have appeared in periodicals as diverse as Analog, New Scientist, Penthouse, Science Digest, Fate and Pursuit, with Velikovskian topics published in Physics Today, Industrial Research & Development and SIS Review & Workshop. His role as an advocate for Velikovsky's ideas led ...
343. The Woman Who Wondered (Prof. Dr. Hertha von Dechend) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... entirely her own. Her major publications were few, a situation many have sought to alter for many years. Von Dechend's unpublished Ph.D . thesis in 1939 about cultural diffusion in Polynesia established interests she would return to again and again throughout her career. In 1953 she contributed a scholarly overview and edited a volume about the ground-breaking organic chemist, Justus von Liebig (1803-1873), and his relationships with his contemporaries in Justus von Liebig in eigenen Zeugnissen und Solchen seiner Zeitgenossen (2nd edition, 1963). One may only guess as to what wonderful things she was considering when De Santillana met her in Frankfurt in 1959. In the Preface to Hamlet's Mill, De Santillana ...
344. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... there are no ready explanations. He deals in detail with ground noises, earthquake lights, the change of colour and flow rate of Springs and wells, sulphurous smells, unusual states of the sea and peculiar fogs and clouds. Tributsch does not stop at just collecting observations and reports, however. He is led into speculation about geophysical and chemical states that could explain this wide variety of phenomena. There are chapters on the Earth's magnetic and electrical fields, and the state of seismology at present. The seismologists are able to measure with great accuracy changes in the electrical resistivity of the Earth, deformation of the ground and changes in radioactivity in ground water at the time of earthquakes ...
345. Time, Electricity and Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... us and dilute, that they have been overlooked by observers. The binary electrical axis has been diffused into a pervasive solar wind, which permeates the planetary plane. The once-substantial binary partner is dispersed into at least a dozen sizeable fragments and myriad fragments of smaller debris. All of this has happened in fourteen millennia. 6. All major chemical and biological developments occurred in a period of a quarter of a million years at the beginning of Solaria Binaria. The number of species peaked in the period of Pangean Stability and has been steadily reduced by catastrophes. 7. The planets and the Sun are accumulating electric charge and have separated greatly, whereupon their ability to discharge (take ...
346. Death of a Comet: Shoemaker-Levy 9 Hits Jupiter [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... problem in observing comets. They turn off'. When a comet seems to disappear, astronomers are never sure whether it has broken up or just lost the halo of dust that provides its glow, commenting we are greatly fooled by the brightness of a comet chunk' (The Washington Post, 22 July 1994, p. A3) Chemical analyses have thrown up curiosities. Sulphur, ammonia, carbon disulphide and glowing acetylene and methane heated by the impacts were found - but no water, or even an oxygen-bearing molecule. This is a problem because the current theory of Jupiter's structure requires a layer of water clouds below the top clouds of ammonia. Present theories of the formation ...
... that the theory of evolution built on the Malthusian principle of competition for means of livelihood producing new characteristics in species- the only mechanism offered for the evolutionary process- is divorced from the truth. The coming of entirely new forms of life is just a few decades away, practically around the corner, with all the agents- radioactive, chemical and thermal- necessary to change the animal and plant kingdoms already available for the task to be performed- in the laboratories, one hopes, not in a nuclear holocaust with attendant degeneration. The house of knowledge, stable and everlasting only two decades ago, is now all torn by fissures, with walls bulging or caving in, ...
348. The Lunar Craters [Books]
... called craters. Many theories have been offered to explain the Moon's topography. It is not possible here to make a detailed study of them. Only the main conclusions arrived at are of interest in this work. It is known that the Moon has no atmosphere or only a very tenuous one. It is devoid of water, except in chemical combination with rocks. Thus, the most powerful agent acting on our Earth to modify its topography -erosion- does not exist on our satellite. This is why its features have such a clear-cut appearance. Astronomers are divided on the question of the origin of the Iunar craters. One school attributes them to volcanic activity or other geological agents ...
349. Introgenesis (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... what he referred to as an "assimilation instinct," which he claimed was the only instinct: every thing in nature strives to transform its environment into "itself" through the processes of feeding, drinking, breathing, procreating, nurturing, educating, and creating. Organisms metamorphose food and drink into body parts, change air into usable chemical reactions, and try to genetically recreate themselves. A grain of wheat sends out roots in order to fashion a new grain of wheat from earth, sunlight, rain and air. Coral strives to transform the whole ocean into coral islands. Throughout the slow development of the earth's crust a crystal tries to change everything around and about into ...
350. An Objective Approach to the Work of Velikovsky [Articles]
... never really given him a fair hearing, but to an equal extent, they are the fault of Dr. Velikovsky's supporters, and to a great extent, the fault of Dr. Velikovsky himself. First of all, Dr. Velikovsky's theses concern the realms of science, if they are concerned with anything at all. He deals with chemistry and physics, astronomy and astrophysics, geology and paleontology, celestial mechanics and gravity, to name but a few of the areas of the hard sciences in which he has labored. When scientific supporters do emerge for Dr. Velikovsky's hypotheses, however, all too frequently, they are discovered to be working in areas of their disciplines other ...
