... explain some parts of the Crollian theory of glacial epochs to the common reader. It is well known that the earth's orbit is not circular, but in the form of an ellipse. So that in its annual circuit around the sun the earth once in the year approaches much nearer to that luminary than it would were its orbit an exact circle. Consequently, once in the year it recedes to a greater distance from it. The sun also being located not in the center of the earth's orbit, but, as it were, in one end of an ellipse, the earth whilst in the other end is far removed from solar warmth. Again the orbit is subject to ...
182. The Ring of Comets and Meteorites Encircling Jupiter [Journals] [Kronos]
... from La Physique des Plančtes, Vol. 24 (1962) pp. 468-470 by permission of Prof. Vsekhsvyatskii; the translation from the French has been made by Prof. Thelma Richman of the Moore College of Art (Phila.). Editor's Preface : On March 7, 1979, a faint ring of dark rocky debris was discovered circling the giant planet Jupiter in its equatorial plane. The discovery was made by Voyager 1. The ring, which is situated some 34,000 miles above the upper deck of Jupiter's multicolored clouds, is estimated to be less than 18 miles thick and more than 5,000 miles wide. (Saturn's rings are only 10 miles thick ...

Mars made a close flyby in such a geometry as to decrease, or contract, the Venusian orbit slightly, and perhaps also to manipulate the perihelion of that nearly circular orbit. Venus has a nearly circular orbit with an eccentricity of only .00678; a perfect circle is .00000. Step I Angular Momentum Swap No. 1 The Catastrophic Era 705 to 701 B.C .

184. Chapter V: the Yearly Path of the Sun-god [Books]
... Chapter V The Yearly Path of the Sun-god LET us, then, imagine the ancient Egyptians, furnished with the natural astronomical circle which is provided whenever there is an extended plain, engaged in their worship at sunrise, praying to the "Lord of the two Horizons." The rising (and setting) of stars we will consider later; it is best to begin with those observations about which there is the least question. In the very early observations that were made in Egypt and Babylonia, when the sun was considered to be a god who every morning got into his boat and floated across space, there was no particular reason for considering the amplitude at which the ...
... Princess-Forward your chief wife, make strong the pillars of your palace at the foot of Mount Inquiry in the lowest rock bottom, and near its crossbeams to the Plain-of-the-High-Sky, and dwell there!" Then, bearing the great sword and book, Great-Land-Master pursued and scattered the eighty Kami, saying, "They shall not be permitted within the circle of the blue fence of mountains." He pursued them till they crouched on every hill-slope, he pursued them till they were swept into every river, and then he began to rule the Land. (Therefore the place where he overtook them was called ComeOvertake.) [n4 Wheeler, pp. 44f.] Later on, ...
186. The Opening of The Mouth Ritual - Part II [Journals] [Aeon]
... Re who "usurps the place occupied by the more ancient form Temu, but before the close of the VIth dynasty Osiris had taken his place...as the greatest of the gods." [9 ] The one most widely known to the general public perhaps is Ra (or Re) whose hieroglyph is a dot or small circle inside a larger one. This god was the one-eyed "sun" or creator-king, "whose forms were manifold." Of him, the Book of the Dead states: "Thou alone didst indeed act as one whose mouth has been opened, while thy form was still upon the Deep." [10] By reading the ...

... German, working out of his more respectable (in V. s eyes) Switzerland; he could launch a campaign to bring the Germans to their senses, so that they would remember the horrible Nazi past and thus cleanse themselves of the pest of comfortable oblivion, with its eventual compulsion to repeat the past again; he could organize study circles to confront the establishment with Velikovsky's ideas. On April 14, 1977, V. wrote Marx, confirming in most cordial terms an invitation to visit. For ten days, Marx settled into Princeton. Professor Lynn Rose, who V. said at various times would be his literary executor, came down from Buffalo for some of the ...

... hands and wear a headband that "Olmec rulers wore to mark their status." The whole forms a familiar quincunx pattern and "a budding tree sprouts from their heads to identify them as the World Tree of the Center." (As the reader should recall, Part I of this paper ended with the figure of three vertically aligned circles which has been interpreted as a god sign by Mayanists. [12] ) "Three is a sacred number to both the Olmec kings and the Maya. Three points mark the sprout of the maize seed rendered as a diadem jewel of kingship worn on Olmec headdresses. Maize is a symbol of the source of creative force and sustenance ...

... Saturn, they actually know it is surrounded by a ring. (11) .. .the Dogon affirm there is a permanent halo around the star [Saturn], different from the one sometimes seen around the moon... (12) Thus when the Dogon are asked to draw a picture of Saturn, they depict a circle with a ring around it. (13) Robert Temple, who became enamored with Dogon lore, informed his readers that these people could have obtained this knowledge from ancient astronauts who visited the Earth in days gone by. (14) Believe it if you will. Personally, I look upon this item, as also the next ...
190. Plate Tectonics and Catastrophe Theory [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... vector of rotation Oi (which may be taken to be bound to the Earth's centre O). It is generally difficult to measure Oi directly: the only observable data (for example, by evaluating the velocity of relative movement along a transform fault, and by locating the relative pole of rotation Pj/Pi the intersection of the great circles normal to the faults) are the relative rotation vectors Oij of Pj about Pi which is considered fixed. For any triplet of indices i, j, k it will then be necessary to verify the formula Oij+ Ojk+ Oki = 0. By orienting the arcs gij, whose boundary consists of vertices s, s', ...
