... of the questions asked, we are a science. Or, if one considers the journals, the articles, the conferences, the research projects, the validity of the data that have been accumulated and the strength of the provisional surmises, we are a science as every science was at a similar stage of its development, as geology or chemistry or paleontology or archeology were, for instance, in the nineteenth century. Even the disagreements, the speculations, the irreconcilable suppositions and schools and camps, are typical. In 1950, catastrophism was mainly a speculation, with lots of raw data, some insights as to processes, some guesses as to causes and events and some predictions ...
452. Venus's Internal Heat: An Update [Journals] [Kronos]
... to any steady state, thermally driven process in the atmosphere. We conclude either that some of the net flux data are in error or that they are from anomalous regions or else that there is another source of energy for the deep atmosphere. Examples include 23 W m-2 internal heat source, a secular cooling of the atmosphere, or a chemically energetic rain carrying solar energy downward" [p . 8222]. With respect to the validity of a 23 W m-2 flux, they observed in an earlier discussion: "An imbalance at the top of the atmosphere of 18 W m-2 is almost ruled out by orbiter data . . ., however, and is 250 times the ...
453. Contributors [Journals] [Kronos]
... 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 interdisciplmary 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 ...
454. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... astronomical aspects make an appearance, ranging from the stability of the solar system and the research on possible orbits by Rose and Ransom to Juergens' pioneering work on electrical forces, "Reconciling Celestial Mechanics and Velikovskian Catastrophism". The problems of the Venusian atmosphere are examined via the debate between Velikovsky and A.W . Burgstahler, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Kansas, and the data relating to the lunar rocks provides another debate, this time with Professor York of the University of Toronto. This section concludes with Velikovsky's 1966 challenge to the astronomers, "Is Venus' Heat Decreasing?" The book is rounded off with William Mullets "The Centre Holds", in ...
455. Asimov's Guide to the Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Kronos]
... Worlds in Collision. In fact, however, it was immediately deluged with letters of protest. George B. Cressey, a geologist at Syracuse University warned: "You may make some money by adding this title to your list, but you surely impair your reputation with the informed public." David C. Grahame, associate professor of chemistry at Amherst College, was more explicit: "Scientists are now engaged in an active boycott of the Macmillan books . . . I trust you can be dissuaded." Fred Whipple, then chairman of the astronomy department at Harvard University, wrote to Doubleday's subsidiary, The Blakiston Company: "Newsweek has unwittingly done the Doubleday Company a ...
456. Electricity in Astronomy /3 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of astronomical objects. Some misconceptions about this subject are quite surprising. For example, a letter in Nature (258, 587- 8, Dec.18 1975) on "Photosynthesis of organic compounds in the atmosphere of Jupiter" by Ferris and Chen doubts if there would be sufficient lightning on Jupiter to account for the formation of certain chemical compounds because "the electrical storms could only take place in the lower atmosphere of Jupiter where condensation of water takes place. . ." Presumably the inference is that because terrestrial lightning is caused by water in the atmosphere, this must also be the case in all other atmospheres. In fact, any material capable of being charged by ...

459. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... world was land- covered [12]. Then I turned my attention to the possible physics of a stable heaven that could have preceded the sky of today. Finally a model of it seemed possible, which is described in the next chapter. In respect to the lives of the gods, multitudinous findings of very recent physics, nuclear chemistry, geophysics, astrophysics, oceanographic and aerospace exploration have exposed an unstable basis of nature that is congenial to the catastrophic view point. These could be correlated with archaeological field work. In the chapters to come, many revolutionary natural events can be shown to have occurred during the periods following the Uranian and Lunarian ; but a heavy and ...
460. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Pensee]
... truth. But by competition for survival or for means of existence, never could such different forms as man and an insect with many legs evolve from the same unicellular form, not even in the six billion years that replaced the biblical six thousand. Mutations were necessary, and today we know that by cosmic and x-rays, by thermal and chemical means- conditions brought about in the catastrophes of the past- massive mutations can be achieved. The pre-1950 astronomy followed the same pseudo-scientific statute of faith, elevated to a fundamental principle, and made believe that the Earth and other planets travel the same paths for the same six billion years, always repeating the same serene circling. Against ...
