... of nature, and, as deSebonde insisted over 500 years ago, "The great book of nature can be intelligible to every man." We see that technology uses the accumulated everyday experience of the human race along with scientific theories. The interplay here is crucial. We also see that mechanics was developed only after insemination of physics by chemistry, electrical engineering, optical and auditory experiments, and medicine. There is no disciplinary purity to be seen in the grasping of successful scientific understanding of natural phenomena. On the contrary, until the relationships between laws of light, sound, chemistry, electricity, heat, and mechanical energy were understood, researchers explained mechanical energy in terms ...
502. Meteorite Impacts of Geological Significance: A Human Perspective [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... at this point as to why there are not more craters visible on the surface if; as indicated above, several 10,000 earthquake-equivalent impacts and many more lesser ones have occurred in the last 25 million years. The answer lies in the fact that the Earth has many dynamic processes going on. Its atmosphere is highly active physically and chemically, imposing very severe and continuous weathering conditions on the surface. The Moon has no atmosphere at all but does show a small degree of surface wear under the action of micrometeorites and solar wind particles. Mars has a thin, dry atmosphere subject to high velocity winds and dust storms and shows many examples of covering of craters. Water ...
503. Revisiting The Temperature Of Venus [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... We are not to be trusted. This hunt for petty errors and its accompanying wild conclusions about the capacities of those who make them is typical. I recall one critic who, not understanding anything about electrical engineering, attacked Ralph Juergens for using supposedly wrong units in an electrical essay. Juergens had used electromagnetic units and the critic, a chemist, knew only the more common electrostatic units. Rather than showing Juergens appropriate respect, the chemist assumed his own superiority and went on record with his absurd, conceited attack. This is repeated in almost all of the glossy journal criticisms: "Velikovsky has confused a carbohydrate with a hydrocarbon" (1 ) ; "Ralph Juergens is ...
504. Review, Notes and Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... a long-needed forum for the responsible discussion of Dr. Velikovsky's work. R. Glenn Martin Associate Professor University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta THE ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS To The Editor: At several points in the course of his otherwise excellent review (Pensee, Winter, 1973-74, p. 24), Burgstahler makes a choice between hydrocarbons and other chemical species in the atmosphere of Venus. Nearly always he rules, somewhat arbitrarily considering the paucity of data, against the hydrocarbons. At one point he describes the evidence for their presence "tenuous at best". In fairness it should be pointed out that, for example, the experiments of Plummer do not necessarily rule out the possibility ...
505. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... relatively deprived of the two gases krypton and xenon, as well as of other noble gases such as argon." At least two space scientists contacted by Frazier in 1980 felt no need of Donahue's proposal: from NASA's Ames Research Center and from Harvard we are given an alternative model and a statement of the orthodox position: "According to chemist Vance I. Oyama .. . the argon-36 abundances for Mars, Earth and Venus are consistent with the model that volatiles are incorporated into the grains that formed these planets, provided that large pressure differences, but small temperature differences, characterised the region of the nebula that gave birth to the solar system some 4.5 billion years ...
506. Thrusting and Orogeny [Books] [de Grazia books]
... seduced by the vast quantities observed of each type into imagining orderly production. A tall mountain of sedimentary rocks appears orderly to us, but so does the simple snowflake under a microscope. One is impressed also by the very many material compositions and forms. But this is an illusion arising from the many different combinations which a few conditions and chemical elements can create; a mere eight separate states of being, described in terms of a temperature, a pressure, and a chemical compound free to combine, can, after all, supply some 2 8 or 256 entities to contemplate. There is order in all things and alongside this order there is chaos in all things; that ...

Schaeffer, op. cit., 223-4, claims that he saw no evidence of flame-exposure (feu d'un incendie) on the objects exhibited at the Berlin Museum from the treasure, and suggests chemical fusion. Also, radiative heat would be an alternative to "chemical fusion" if one must be sought. 6. Schliemann, op. cit., pp. 333. 7. Ibid., pp. 334-5. 8. Ibid., p. 340. 9. Ibid., p. 302; cf. ...
510. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... the question of how the Bimini rocks came to be submerged in 15 feet of water when considerable evidence indicates no such sea level changes occurred during the last 2,200 years. (Shinn, E. A.; "Atlantis: Bimini Hoax", Sea Frontiers, 24:130-141. 1978). CATEGORY X EXTRATERRESTRIAL INFLUENCES ON CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS Conventional science shows little interest in the subject indicated by the title, except for some work that is done on circadian rhythms. However, readers of the journals Cycles and the Journal of Interdisciplinary Cycle Research are treated regularly to a wide variety of purported correlations of biological systems with solar and other extraterrestrial influences. The present ...
