... ). Kugler had a strictly scientific bent of mind. He started his academic career as a university lecturer of chemistry, but, after the death of Joseph Epping (1835-94), a fellow member of the Jesuit order and ... providential preservation of the original order: since a certain amount of the water of the Earth is steadily consumed by chemical combinations, the seas would not be preserved in their original state unless new water was provided by the exhalations of ... de nous a passé tout du long; Est chu tout au travers de notre tourbillon, Et s'il eût en chemin rencontré notre terre, Elle eût été brisée en morceaux comme verre. ( 'I have come to tell you ...
52. Thoth Vol VII, No 2: Mar 15, 2003 [Journals] [Thoth]
... to chemists ? who are not interested in gravity ? and unavailable to physicists ? who are not interested in physical chemistry (and view the world through Einstein's distorting spectacles). Look at any average general physics textbook and you will ... GRAVITY IS THE PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING IT IS THE SOLUTION. The space shuttle is a technological marvel that must harness brute chemical and aerodynamic forces in order to overcome the weak force of gravity. The reason for such an approach is that ... repel as well as attract. So it seems the clue about the true nature of gravity has been available to chemists ? who are not interested in gravity ? and unavailable to physicists ? who are not interested in physical chemistry ( ...
53. Pterodactyls in the Mesozoic: A Flap in Time [Journals] [Aeon]
... of paleontology often goes hand-in-hand with geology to define the periods in which fossils are found. Occasionally, too, chemistry is involved, as when chemist Walter Alvarez and his colleagues at UC Berkeley investigated a thin rock layer near Gubbio ... one other mechanism. As mentioned in another essay, [21] an increased presence and concentration of carbon dioxide chemically accelerates the cementing process on alluvial sediments without the addition of much heat and pressure. This CO2 would most likely ... come from volcanic outgassing or other venting, and of course be present as a residuum of Earth's primordial atmosphere. And, with any increase in concentration, the gas would act as both a toxic agent and a preservative, as ...
... in . . . scientific principles. . . . Anyone with only an elementary knowledge of astronomy, physics, chemistry, or geology will immediately detect them" [238]. The "sincere musings of a man unfamiliar with ... detailed discussion. But many critics also dismissed all of Velikovsky's work in ex cathedra fashion: "The physical, chemical and astronomical statements . . . are all so completely at variance with known principles . . ." [56 ... not yet been investigated," and that flies may well live on Jupiter, were probably intended to warn off chemists, physicists, and zoologists the kindest judgment . . . is to class him with Defoe and Samuel Butler II ...
55. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology. Part One: Radiometric Chronometry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... each of the intermediate atoms are determinable It can be guaranteed that there has been no contamination or disruption of the processes To begin with, we do not know the initial chemistry - this puts 15 of the ifs' into doubt. Here assumption, disguised as a "logical deduction", is invoked to make the unknown appear to be ... interested reader can consult Chaos and Creation (chapter 3) for a more complete discussion of quantavolution upon radiometric chronometry [2 ]. Uranium, like many other heavy metal chemical elements, is internally unstable and decays - transforming itself into slightly lighter chemical elements: 2.39 x 107 years 236U92> 232Th90+ 4He2+ photon (g ...
56. Radioactivity/The Atom [Books]
... of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, showed that the molecule was divisible into smaller particles which he called atoms. Dalton may be considered as the true founder of the chemical atomic theory, although the existence of the atom as a subdivision of the molecule, had already been advanced by the Greek philosopher Xenophanes (570-480 BC). Until ... I The Atom 1. Before 1803 it was generally believed that the molecule was the smallest particle of an element or compound which could exist independently. In 1803 the English chemist John Dalton (1766-1844), in a famous paper on the `relative weights of the ultimate particles of bodies', which he read at a meeting of the ...
57. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of ice cores of Greenland and Antarctica. Their purpose is multiform; a Danish group of glaciologists writes: "Ice cores have become an important tool in geophysics and atmospheric chemistry. Langway (1967) first perceived the great and many-sided aspects of extending physical and chemical analyses of snow and ice to what Crary (1970) calls: the ... dimension' of glaciers, thereby adding time to the parameters considered. In a more recent paper, Dansgaard and others (1973) listed the potentialities of polar ice-core and bore-hole studies relevant to glaciology, meteorology, climatology, geology, volcanology, atmospheric chemistry, cosmic and solar physics, and 14C dating"[1 ]. No mention ...
58. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... in the ash of marine organisms and hence it is implied that they occur in seawater, although so far they have not been obtained directly." (Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 1956, page 1107.) Mineral ash may result from both vegetable and animal life. "The sea squirt, Phallusia mamillata, for example has 1, ... sub-microscopic elements in constant motion and these expand when heated because the atoms then move faster and take up more room. Spectroscope operators show us that each of the 92 basic chemical elements, every material of the earth, can be identified by the wave lengths of its light rays when made incandescent or is burned, at which moment the materials ...
59. THE YOUTHFUL ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS [Journals] [Aeon]
... can sulphuric acid remain stable in the atmosphere of Venus over the time required by the usual models of the planet's history? Peter R. Ballinger, a researcher in organic chemistry, raised this question in 1965, when he wrote: It is likely that sulphuric acid would be gradually decomposed by solar radiation of ultraviolet and shorter wavelength, particularly ... fact, according to previously accepted tests, this atmosphere suggests the planet has been in existence far less than four eons. In 1985 Lawrence Colin stated flatly: "The chemical composition of the air [of Venus] remains the most controversial aspect of our knowledge of the Venusian atmosphere."(2 ) As will be shown, the ...
