... in The Collapsing Universe, (pocket book ed.) (NY 1977), p. 173 states, "In 1849 the French mathematician Edouard A. Roche (1830-1883) showed that if a satellite is held together only by gravitational pull -if it is a liquid for instance- it will break up if it approaches the planet it circles by a distance less than that of 2.44 times the radius of the planet. This is called the Roche limit. If a satellite is held together by electromagnetic forces, as our Moon is for instance, it can come a tiny bit closer than 2.44 times the radius of the Earth before tidal stretching overwhelms and ...
202. Stekel (Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science) [Books]
... such a flagrant show of defending a position that was anathema to most analysts. But there may have been other reasons as well: he may have psychically identified himself with Freud (a very common occurrence, as Heinz Kohut (3 ) has pointed out) and/or he may have been seeking a more favorable position within the Freudian circle. Federn was, ostensibly, Freud's heir-apparent after Jung's apostasy; he had come into Freud's circle as early as 1903 and would, in 1938, be the only close follower still with Freud when the Nazis entered Vienna. Since 1923, when Freud developed cancer, Federn had begun accepting Freud's patients and acting as his personal deputy at ...
203. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... than east, and that Iceland, the Faroes, and Ireland were within easy access of it. The comet that left its residue where Iceland stands in doing so destroyed Greenland, and, by the resultant adjustment of the earth's axis to meet the new physical conditions of enormous materia deposited mainly in one area, threw Greenland into the Arctic Circle, an inaccessible and lost land. 182. The comet causing the Drift mutilated the British Isles and yet benefited them by its gifts. Its effects were very intermittent, but it is plain enough that all those regions lying nearest to Greenland and Iceland suffered the worst ravages. The Shetlands were once a very considerable island, but it ...
204. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... reference to Hekataios and certain others' is not very precise anyway. Sweeney uses an unidentified translation that speaks of a round' temple. A more responsible translation might be sphere-shaped in form'. (That is not redundant; Greek uses repetition for emphasis.) In any case, the Greeks knew the difference between a sphere and a circle. If they said sphere', they meant sphere, not circle. If they said sphere-shaped in form', they meant sphere-shaped inform, not round. How dare the translator make this into round'? Spheres are indeed round but so are circles and it is of course those famous Stonehenge circles that are on the translator's mind ...
... From: The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: The Cult Of The Underworld Chapter IV The Real Amenta "St. Columba bearded the ancient faith in its stronghold and raised the primitive Christian island of Iona where of old the pagan circle had stood." SIR DANIEL WILSON. THE insignificant and rocky little island of Iona, separated from Mull by a narrow strait, was a site of great importance and sanctity for ages before St. Columba and his disciples from Ireland ever set foot in it. The reasons which inspired the Saint to select Iona as the heart of his missionary efforts, in preference to other isles more conveniently placed ...
206. Chapter XII. The Stars -- their Risings and Settings [Books]
... its axis, and the concurrent revolution of the sun round the earth once a year. To represent the downward force it is perfectly fair if I add a weight. The moment this is done the axis of the gyroscope representing the earth's axis, instead of retaining its direction to the same point as it did before, now describes a circle round the pole of the heavens. Model illustrating the Precession, of the Equinoxes It is now a recognised principle that there is, so to speak, a wobble of the earth's axis round the pole of the heavens, in consequence of the attraction of the sun on the nearer point of this equatorial ring being greater than on the ...
207. The Capture of Luna (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... of weeks, extreme arctic' conditions began to prevail there, in fact, the great Klimasturz, the catastrophic climatic breakdown, had come about. It should be remembered that at the time of the capture the north pole was situated in north-eastern Greenland, which means that the whole of England (and Scandinavia) was situated inside the polar circle. Another question ought to be considered in connection with the climatic breakdown. The position of the terrestrial axis relative to the ecliptic is not rigid, that is, it is not always directed to the same point in space, but shows a certain wobble like a spinning-top's, which is called the precession'. The Earth's axis takes ...
208. Mechanics of the Great Deluge [Books]
... basis of this equation, the centrifugal force of a mass of ice of any weight W, at any radius of gyration R, can be calculated. Suppose that the Pole of Figure and the Pole of Spin happen to be in coincidence, and that the ice at the pole is two miles high. Then, let us describe a circle with the pole as its center and with a radius of 50 feet. We will then have a cylinder of ice with its center at the Pole of Spin and weighing 424,560,000 pounds approximately, the weight of ice being assumed to be 57.5 pounds per cubic foot. Now, let us suppose that the ...
209. When Was The iliad Created?, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Italy, where he founded Rome (a city first built in the middle of the eighth century), implies that Troy was destroyed in the eighth or late in the ninth century. But for what purpose do I burden my present work with this question? It may seem that the two problems- how Venus changed its orbit to a circle, and how Mars changed its orbit so as to come in contact with the earth- are weighted with a third problem from a far-removed field and in itself complicated. And even if these matters have something in common, how can a problem with three unknowns be solved? We shall come closer to a solution of the astronomical problem ...
210. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Egypt could be transformed into a ceremony of magical deliverance, as described in the Hebrew version. c. 2100(?): Evidence of a freak occupation of the Negeb. The archaeological evidence is difficult to date precisely, but the extraordinary fact remains that around this time a vast horde of people who were skilled in irrigation and built circles of stones occupied this particular wilderness for only a short period. It is a puzzle how this people managed to survive in an area which has never supported such a population- before or since. Similarly, a vast horde- over a half million- followed Moses from the Nile delta, where they were skilled in irrigation, into ...
