... material for building up the great ice sheets of the glacial period when the other conditions necessary for it's beginning eventually came about. Because of the great volcanic activity in certain parts of the Earth, the atmosphere was charged with carbon dioxide. A great deal of this gas was absorbed by the rains, and the water thus activated became a chemically powerful factor in the weathering and wearing down of the recently deposited and raised rocks, chiefly those of a calcareous nature. A great and rapid erosion and weathering of this kind must be presupposed to explain the tremendous amount of gravel and other detritus which the water masses carried away from the mountainous districts. The surface waters thus locally charged ...
412. Cataclysmic Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... orders, but also against the elements. In natural selection all those forms were weeded out that could not meet competition or the rapidly changing conditions of a world in upheaval. The origin of new species from old could be caused by the processes that can be duplicated in laboratories-y excessive radiation or some other irritant in abnormal doses, thermal or chemical, all of which must have taken part in natural catastrophes of the past, and could have played a role in building new species, as the case of new plants in the bomb craters appears to indicate. The theory of evolution is vindicated by catastrophic events in the earth's past; the proclaimed enemy of this theory proved to be ...
413. Extra-Solar Planets: An Update [Journals] [Aeon]
... In the absence of the ionising radiation of the star, they should be able to retain more extensive atmospheres, and, while terrestrial planets of this kind would be very cold, large [J ]ovian or sub-[J ]ovian masses may have enough internal heat to allow any type of life, even based on our carbohydrate chemistry, to develop on their surfaces." [26] III When is a planet not a planet? When it crosses the line arbitrarily selected by astronomers- or so it seems. Beginning around October 2000, news began circulating that more than half of the so-called extra-solar planets that had been discovered up to then were not planets at ...

415. The Titius-Bode Law and the Evolution of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]
... course, is what could have caused the explosion, and left the asteroid belts with only 0.1 Earth masses, all essentially in the plane of the ecliptic? Napier and Dodd4 looked into this question and, given the energy and angular momentum constraints, decided that the event was almost impossible to reconstruct using gravitational, nuclear, or chemical interactions. So there you have it. The Titius-Bode Law, since its validity as a physical law is by no means proven, cannot give you a definite answer as to implications for possible recent, large-scale evolution of the solar system. But I think you can make the statement that if you argue that the law is indeed a ...
416. Editor's Page [Journals] [Aeon]
... " whom Newbrook classifies as a Nostraticist. Who, if I may ask, is this supposed individual? And what committee is Newbrook referring to? AEON has never incorporated a committee; it only employs a staff. In the past, the staff of AEON included a Professor of Art History, a Professor of Philosophy, and an analytical chemist. It does not now count, nor has it ever counted, an academic linguist, retired or not, as a member of its staff. Newbrook also states that "two other linguists are currently becoming involved" with AEON. Apparently one of these is Newbrook himself for, elsewhere in the same article, he states that he ...
417. In the Beginning -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... investigated by John Joly in 1899. Based on the measurement of amounts of sodium chloride, common salt, added to the oceans each year by all the world's rivers, Joly determined that the Earth was only 100 million years old. To date, the material contents of the oceans is still not explained, and thus Velikovsky suggests that its chemistry is related to the Saturn deluge, which remains to be considered. Also, V. V. Belousov of the former Soviet Union and oceanographer in The Geological Structure of Oceans (Moscow, 1942) states: "It may be asserted that very recently,...even in the age of man, the Pacific Ocean grew ...
418. Mind's Frontiers. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... with assurance for the credit or debit side of the ledger. This is true even though such a clear thinker as the physicist Oliver Lodge or such a wizard of detective invention as Arthur Conan Doyle sided with what must be termed the miraculous. A feeling persists that though mental processes are physiological- and therefore in the last analysis physical and chemical- there are screens in man himself that hide from him a large part of the house he calls soul, this being the sum of all mind's activities, past and present, and all perception received or inherited, and that may or may not transcend the barriers of time, a metaphysical entity itself. ...

... and absorption, being carried away by the cosmic drama which you unfolded before me. I was amazed at the depth and vastness of your erudition, which I have not seen equalled except possibly in O. Spengler's Decline of the West. My book is a collection of historical evidences, and therefore, the historians at Harvard, not the chemists or even the astronomers and geologists, are the proper judges. Obviously Dr. Conant opposed my book, not because he found anything unscientific in it- he would have pointed it out- but because my theory was so much in conflict with conventionally held views. Just one year earlier Dr. Conant said (The New York Times, February ...

... and Phenomenological Research, and is on the board of directors of Cosmos and Chronos. George Robert Talbott (D .Sc., Indiana Northern Grad. School); Dr. Talbott is both an interdisciplinary scientist and author whose experiential background is about evenly divided between research and engineering applications. His scope and competence in mathematical physics and physical chemistry are evident from his two-volume Philosophy and Unified Science, published in 1977 by the international firm of Ganesh and Co. in Madras. Dr. David Lee Hilliker's introduction to this work lists some additional publications of Dr. Talbott, including a book in thermodynamics (Electronic Thermodynamics). Dr. Talbott also holds a basic patent, with ...
