... thing is the excellent preservation of even the most dainty details in such casts, and the ease with which the layer of rock which overlies them can be separated from the rock in which they are embedded.The bodies of the animals and individual plants were not only thus encased in concrete-like material, they were also in many cases impregnated with chemically active water. In those times of great volcanic activity the waters must have been charged with a good deal of carbon dioxide, and, locally at least, may have contained much lime, or silica, in solution. At that time there were certainly also many submarine volcanic eruptions, and the heated water may have dissolved many constituents ...
... it appears that the United States medical authorities have discovered that no fewer than 80 per cent of negro troops were immune from the effects of mustard-gas vapour, whose terrible ravages upon the lungs of the white men in the European War of 1914-1918 will never be forgotten. (J . B. S. Haldane, Callinicus: A Defence of Chemical Warfare.) We therefore see a gas very poisonous and murderous to whites but almost impervious to the blacks. As these biological principles are better understood than they were it is highly likely that before very long all contagious epidemics from plague and influenza, scarlet fever and measles in mankind, down to foot-and-mouth disease or swine fever among beasts ...
493. Hurricanes and Cyclones [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , or funnels in descending. The winds and other effects of a heavy meteoroid impact would be simulated if a large number of nuclear missiles were trained upon a single spot and exploded at the same moment. The atmospheric turbulence accompanying such impacts must include more than a blasting power. Its heat can provide the circulating system for a natural instantaneous chemical factory. The turbulence generates disturbing sounds and sends them over long distances and brings intolerable changes in barometric pressures. Volcanic explosions produce similar effects: whether a crater is a volcanic or meteoric effect is often contested, and both produce tornado and hurricane effects. During the Krakatoa volcanic explosion of 1883, winds stripped all the surrounding area of ...
494. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... has been increasing exponentially in the past several years and by the year 1993, I would expect that fully a quarter of all publications in natural history will treat of quantavolutions. Going farther, in geology and geophysics a number of scientists are deliberately hypothesizing catastrophes at the boundaries of several geological ages and adducing old and new evidence, especially by chemical examination of sediments, to prove that they occurred. The space programs of U.S .A . and U.S .S .R . have naively reported ancient catastrophes and on-going explosiveness wherever their vehicles have gone -Venus, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Astrophysicists and astronomers are edging into catastrophic explanations of ...
495. The Origin Of Craters On The Moon And Large Lunar Boulders [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in Greenbelt, Maryland. He states that the lunar soil shows an "increase in mean grain size downward with depth .. ." (8 ) This is merely the first contradiction to the process Kopal has presented, but there are others. As I have pointed out elsewhere, the lunar regolith is layered into separate layers of different chemical composition and albedo, as well.(9 ) If the process that Kopal invokes was correct, these visually layered materials would have been thoroughly mixed over long stretches of time and the cores taken from the Moon would have been destroyed. One simply cannot have a layered regolith that is shaken and mixed to still maintain its layered appearance ...
... the origin of coal is that it was formed from an ancient vegetation that grew largely in peat and swamp marshes. This theory the Vailan system overthrows. v Every atom of the great mass of carbon now forming the coal deposits must have been a distilled product of a primitive igneous process before the plant could possibly appropriate it. Every intelligent chemist knows that the great telluric gas furnace of primitive times was competent to produce all the carbon now found in the crust of the earth. Soot, that sometimes takes fire in our chimneys, is deposited in infinitesimal smoke particles. Hence, smoke from burning carbon is simply a fuel which makes it evident that the smoke which arose from ...
497. Notes on the Androgynous Comet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of a possible relationship of the Ardhanarishvara complex to Egypt. Whilst I cannot detect any such pointer to its sexual meaning in the material about the ancient Egyptian and Coptic symbol of life contributed by M. Cramer: Das altägyptische Lebenszeichen im christlichen koptischen Aegypten (II. Hauptteil, 1955) (27), J. Read (Prelude to Chemistry) states after Davis: The Egyptian ankh, the symbol of life, is a combination of male and female. ' No justification is offered." I wrote to Professor Baumann as follows: "It seems that the specialists on India have not sufficiently studied P. von Bohlen's " Das alte Indien mit besondere Rücksicht auf Aegypten" ...
498. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... cake when the Venus surface temperature is considered. Also, a close study of photographs showing the surface of Mercury appears to confirm the partial melting of its surface from the proposed nova. There is a lack of crispness to the craters of Mercury when compared to those of the Moon. Mercury has no volcanoes. The extreme variation in the chemical make-up of the planets of the Solar System is the best verification of the planet capture and delivery theory. The bodies from outer space that would be collected would be of diverse classification: hot cores, cold cores, gaseous envelopes, basaltic formations, icy surfaces, and all sorts of chemical mixtures, etc. Venus, Earth, ...
499. The Age of Purple Darkness [Journals] [Aeon]
... UV, calling it blue or violet. [40] Some young people can detect UV as far toward the extreme short waves as 3130 Å, but require special glasses to focus the faint images. [41] At least one species of fish has vision in UV to 3130 Å. [42] If this is attributable to the chemistry and structure of the lens, and if it were possible to duplicate this lens and surgically implant it in a person who has lost the normal lens, the erstwhile patient would acquire the rudiment of a new faculty, provided that due care be taken in regard to avoiding undue exposure of the retina to UV from the Sun. [ ...
500. Anomalistics - a New Field of Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... bears on every subject matter with the possible exception of those laws of God and nature that are regarded as timeless, it can be localized only with regard to its practitioners, most of whom come or came from the social sciences. Ufology is, if anything, an even more polymathic enterprise than futuristics. It involves astronomy, physics, chemistry, oceanography, and meteorology within the physical sciences; zoology, physiology, and medicine within the life sciences; folklore and psychology within the social sciences; history and philosophy within the humanities; and ethics and theology within religious studies. All things considered, the disciplinary typology of anomalies seems to be, despite its occasional drawbacks, the ...
