... may be calculated if the other two values can be determined [15]. Alvarez proposed that the iridium concentration in a rock specimen would be a measure of the percentage of meteoritic dust it contained, since this noble metal is present in meteorites but otherwise completely absent from the Earth's crust [13,15]. Accordingly, the nuclear chemists Frank Asaro and Helen Michel were recruited to determine, by neutron activation analysis, the iridium content of rock samples which Walter Alvarez had collected from a limestone formation at Gubbio, in the Umbrian Appenines of Italy [8 ,13,15]. To everyone's great surprise, the iridium concentration in the thin layer of clay at the ...
... Hitler, writing as a prisoner: I thought of the consequences that unrestricted rule, together with the power of technology - making use of it but also driven by it - might have in the future. This war (II) had ended with remote-controlled rockets, aircraft flying at the speed of sound, atom bombs and a prospect of chemical warfare .. . A new great war will end with the destruction of human culture and civilization. The nightmare shared by many people . . .. that some day the nations of the world may be dominated by technology - that nightmare was very nearly made a reality under Hitler's authoritarian system. Every country in the world today faces ...
473. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... xy for the time clock zone'. Do Dalrymple and the other geochronologists want to continue to sweep under the rug' this important fact? If not, let them come up with a better explanation for the alteration zone. At the same time they ought to come up with an explanation for how the different geologic formations all differ in chemical composition. This fact is readily evident in recognition of the zone melting' principle and the ice cap model of continental shift. However, it is in direct conflict with the doctrine of uniformitarianism. Melvin A. Cook, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Our Intelligent Ancestors?Dear Sir, I felt it was a pity that ...
474. Thoth Vol IV, No 9: May 31, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... circular crater it has just burnt to the nearest high point - often the rim of the same crater." This statement was repeated in another item about the Prometheus "volcano" on 7th November. The "migrating plumes" of this report are the moving cathode jets. They are not seen on Earth. As for determining the internal chemistry of Io from the surface sulfur deposits, this is another blind alley entered from the assumption that what are being looked at are volcanoes. The sulfur is being created at the point where the arc impinges on the surface. Each sulfur atom is formed by "fritting" two atoms of oxygen in the powerful electric field of the arc ...
475. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... that easily could measure one thousand miles in diameter at the base, and possibly larger at the top after the fashion of the atom bomb explosions. This column might tower something like five thousand miles above the earth, the higher particles doomed to float out beyond the reach of gravity... This catastrophic column would be "a gigantic chemical laboratory," arranged in levels downwards, outwards and upwards. Its pyrolysis would continue for some time to "add to the generation of coal beds, oil crudes, baked shales, sand-stones, firerock, hard pan, and to many specific, but generally unexplained mineral forms. At zero point, ' conditions being so extreme, ...

477. The Quantavolutionary Scan [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Atlantis, with both occurring around 11,500 years ago. The catastrophist conjectures about the fresh waters of the Gulf of Mexico. First, they could be the floodwaters of the suddenly destroyed ice cap, an inconceivably great deluge, perhaps tied into the practically complete resurfacing of the earth about 11,500 years ago. In 1974 the chemist John Anderson reports experiments indicating that radiocarbon activity, the chief present method of dating back to 50,000 years ago, was neither random nor constant. If the isotopes of radioactive carbon, for reasons yet unknown, decay sporadically or eccentrically, may not the method be unreliable? In 1973, chemist Harold Urey, a Nobel prizewinner ...
478. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... set into motion. However, the transaction consisted of a trade of material for electric charge. Uranus Minor, much more heavily charged, deposited charge upon the Earth. The new electrical energy was incorporated by the molecules of the Earth. Their internal (atomic) bonds were stretched. A very large amount of energy was required by the chemical bonds and supplied athermally [89] by a huge column or front of lightning bolts blasting a swath into the sky during the pass-by. That heating which occurred was concentrated at the interface of crust and mantle and at the bottom of the moon basin. In adjusting its figure following the ejection the remaining land mass fractured and the Earth ...
479. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Moon conjoins with the Sun. My trism, the third celestial body, resulting from the conjunction, is what alchemists call the mercurius. Though its symbol is the astrological sign for the planet Mercury, the mercurius is not the planet. Rather, because the object resulting from the conjunction is constantly changing shape, it was named after the chemical element mercury, or, as it was more commonly known then, quicksilver. This element was notorious for its amorphous character, as its name implies. As the sine qua non of the alchemical opus, alchemists have given the mercurius a legion of names. A partial list of these may be useful. These names include the famed ...
480. Geological Genesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the very period when all the continental areas were grouped into one land mass? Part 2 - The Cretaceous Catastrophe Thesis: It is proposed that the stable, warm and reduced gravitational conditions of the Saturnian/Mesozoic era were all suddenly altered when Saturn underwent a disruption, precipitating Earth into its present orbit. Any form of disruption would produce chemical fall-out and high-energy radiation from the primary, as is seen today by the large flux of x-rays produced in the early stages of a supernova outburst, or that detected on Earth after solar outbursts, and this would have immediate and catastrophic effects, and indirectly due to drastic effects upon climatic conditions. Once freed from its synchronous rotation around ...
