... loop of string, as shown in Figure 4. The ratio of c to a is called the eccentricity, designated e; the limiting cases for an ellipse are e = 0 and e = 1. When e = 0, then c = 0, so that both foci coincide at the center point and the ellipse is a true circle of radius a and diameter 2a. As the parameter e increases from zero, two simultaneous effects can be seen: the circle gradually becomes flattened (more elliptical) and the foci diverge. The latter effect becomes evident more quickly than the former, so that an ellipse with e = 0.2 has its foci obviously off-center although ...
... as the target and they as the missiles. The appearance in fact of this great volcanic field is of a very ancient linear arrangement first laid down in one of the earlier ages which continued in active existence and became the attractive force to later volcanic deposits of the Tertiary Age. Mt. Vesuvius, showing the various cones (in black circles) scattered in its vicinity, most of them revealing systematic linear directions. Astroni, Mt. Nuova and Lake Avernus are on the left of the map. 5I. Etna presents many similarities to Vesuvius. This great mountain, the loftiest volcano in Europe, with a height of 10,874 feet, and a diameter of ninety ...
353. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... years on, as the SIS celebrates its Silver Jubilee, various aspects of catastrophism, although not Velikovsky's specific theories, have become incorporated into mainstream science. However, at the time the SIS was formed, gradualism was still dominant and any attempts to suggest catastrophist mechanisms for events in geology or evolution were viewed with great suspicion in orthodox academic circles and generally ignored. The same applied to catastrophist explanations for events in ancient history, particularly in the Middle East. Rightly or wrongly, such arguments were generally seen as moves to provide support for a literal interpretation of the Bible [18, 28]. When the British archaeologist, Sir Leonard Woolley, excavated the ancient Sumerian city ...

355. Varves And Bok Globules (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... , the centre of rotation moves right outside of the Sun. The effect is similar to what happens when a small and large weight, linked together with a length of rope, are whirled around and thrown. The centre of rotation moves steadily along, but the weights appear to speed up and slow down as they describe small and large circles around the centre. This process seems to be the cause of the sunspot cycle. Unfortunately, many astronomers do not like to discuss the effects of planetary positions for fear of being accused of believing in astrology. Every 180 years, all the planets move into positions on one side of the Sun. However, this cycle does not ...
356. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... bound to accept previous conclusions as the last word on any subject, it will not do simply to ignore them. If the scenarist in question has reason to disagree with another's verdict, he should not only state so but should also supply the reasons for his disagreement. If this is not done, we will end up going around in circles, confusing the very readers we have all been seeking to illuminate. One such issue from the works of Patten that come to mind- and we shall later be examining others- concerns the proper translation of Job 38:32. This verse has been variously rendered in different editions of the Old Testament. Leaving the troublesome names contained ...
357. In Defence of the Gods [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1991 No 2 (Jan 1992) Home | Issue Contents ARTICLES In Defence of the Gods by Derek Shelley-Pearce Hopefully, the remarkable insights of Julian Jaynes as expressed in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind [1 ] continue to command a greater degree of assent and excite a wider circle of readers as time goes on. For Jaynes, the human mind, or consciousness (as opposed to what he calls reactivity' which is a faculty shared by all sentient beings and tends to be confused with consciousness) is a construct which is dependent on language. Unlike the popular' view which traditionally sees consciousness or the mind ...
358. Celestial Dynamics and "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ". I find the volume both enjoyable and useful. I have some remarks to make about important points contained in Dr Robert Bass's contribution, "The Celestial Dynamics of Worlds in Collision'". In the past Bass and I have approached quite differently a means of "legitimizing" colliding-planet scenarios with short-time readjustment of the orbits back to circles following the collision. We both agree that the collisions happened recently and that the collisional imprint has been hidden quickly. Bass has pursued the solution via rather sophisticated mathematical constructs and has had some success in demonstrating that recent collisions cannot be excluded. I have sought another solution, stressing a conceptual reassignment of the quantities causing bodies to orbit ...

... favoured by most astronomers: he also explains the observations of Eudoxus (lived c.350 BC) as being those of his day, rather than the 1900 BC observations deduced by astronomers. William Corliss comments: "One would think that such startling data, compiled by a recognized astronomer, would be the subject of intense study in archaeo-astronomical circles; instead, it is an English creationist tract that discussed the subject". Environmentally Induced Variation sources: NEW SCIENTIST 18.8 .83, p.474; SCIENCE 221, p.184 Evolution is supposed to proceed by the selection of small genetic variations; any characteristics affected by the environment are not deemed to be inherited ...
360. On Solomon's Temple [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... many pitfalls in the way of making it convincing. First, what have Hiram III (I never heard of him) and Cyrus, who lived in the 6th century, and the founding of the second commonwealth to do with Solomon's temple, which was built 400 years earlier? Then, just what was the special task of the sea circle? According to the scriptures, the "layer of brass," as the King James version has it (Exodus 30:18), had a very specific purpose: "for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat when they go into the tabernacle . . . that they die not." This ...
