... my statement- or at least what I intended to say- is more generally valid than Kruskal's, since it covers all possible situations. Actually, Kruskal's Point No. 3 supports what I have said above. Certainly only relative potentials are important insofar as phenomenological behavior is concerned. This is the essence of my explanation, about halfway down the first column on page 10 (Pensée, Fall 1972), of how the sun, already charged to an enormous negative potential, might continue to behave as an anode- that is, as a collector of even more negative charge. I would challenge the comment that my reference to "zero" potential "exhibits a defect of understanding." ...
392. The Inexact Science of Radiometric Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... common date of 60 million years was probable and advised that this date should be used as a lower limit for the age of the universe (32). No meteorites have been found in any of the ancient formations (34). In fact, another investigator, Twenhofel, claims that no meteorites have ever been found in the geological column (35). Note, too, that as eminent an astronomer as Fred Hoyle estimated that the break-up of comets into meteorites had to be recent in time, since the comets in their current movement around the sun could not have been in orbit for much longer than a million years (36). Figure 2: Various Radiohalos ...
393. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... also vast electrical displays produced as its orbit cuts through Jupiter's magnetic field, setting up massive electric currents across the moon's surface and connecting it to Jupiter by flux tubes. Where the tube from Io connects to Jupiter it creates a red spot which would appear to race across the sky. On Io itself, Jupiter would appear enormous and massive columns of blue light would reach, like giant fluorescent tubes, from the surface up into space. What myths would be told by inhabitants of Io to record such celestial glories? On Earth the planet's magnetosphere actually defends it from much of the solar wind and the auroras are created when the field lines of the magnetosphere are broken after being ...
394. Commemoration Of The 2300bc Event [Journals] [SIS Review]
... explosive mixture with air. There are very few instances of surface impact from shower meteoroids, as cometary meteoroids are more fragile than asteroidal ones. However, significant damage can result from low altitude large meteoroid fragmentation, as in the 1908 Tunguska explosion. Witnesses reported a blindingly bright bolide, with a very thick dust trail seen as a gigantic column [17]. It is estimated to have exploded 5km above ground, radiating 5-10 megatonnes of energy [18]. Seismographs registered an earthquake and the atmospheric shock wave went twice around the Earth. Magnetic disturbances similar to those later recorded after atmospheric nuclear explosions were recorded at Irkutsk Observatory [19]. The forest was devastated for ...
395. Ages Still In Chaos: Defending The Indefensible [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this reign, as do the letters of Labayu himself. This approach by Giles can be used to test A Test of Time. To demonstrate this, note this schema from JACF vol. 6 [10] (Table 1). It is the summary of the argument that the letters indicate that Labayu is Saul. The right hand column contains letter numbers that the New Chronology advocates deem pertinent to their argument. One may assume that they believe the historical content of those letters is watertight. By using Giles's approach each of the Rohl letters can be checked to see to whom they were written to fix their historical niche. Table 1 The Chronology of the Amarna Letters ( ...
396. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ma Yüan, like Herakles, is recalled as a master of dike-engineering and irrigation. Most significant, however, is the fact that the Chinese strongman is celebrated for his magnificent pillars: Ma Yüan was also associated with monumental bronze castings, and with the construction of monumental gateways. The two themes are conjoined in the story of the bronze columns he built on the southern frontier of Han. It was commonly remembered that there were two pillars, but sometimes there were said to be three, or even five. They might survive transmuted into cliffs or isolated rocks, or as mountains, or even as islands in the sea .. . They are all analogues of the Pillars ...
397. Chapter 2 The Sphinx [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... fact that, when archaeologists began to clear and examine the structures around the pyramid — the courtyard with its dummy' buildings, the colonnaded entrance, and the enclosing wall — it was realized that their design and construction was not characteristic of stone mason's work. The stone blocks were needlessly small, hardly bigger than bricks. Some of the columns, instead of being free-standing, were engaged, ' that is, attached to the wall behind. The stone-enclosing wall was built in a series of recessed panels with projecting bastions, highly pleasing to the eye, but it is doubtful if the effect was merely intended as decoration. It was far more likely that these structures reproduced in ...
... later, and, by the revision, all belong to to the Assyrian period or later. The thin layers of Levels VIII to XI would then be relatable to the century following the Amarna period. The earlier date for these top levels (in contrast to the dates assigned by Yadin) is confirmed by the appearance in Level VI of column capitals of "proto-Aeolic" or "ionic" style. This type of capital belongs to the 6th century, not to the 9th. We may assume that it was this awkward situation that led Yadin to refer to the capitals as proto-Aeolic. The writer finds no basis whatever for assigning dates this early to this type of architectural decoration ...
399. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... god's relationship to Heracles. Both gods were represented as dwarves and said to be capable of rejuvenation for the simple reason that both originated as personifications of the planet Mars, which- in a spectacular series of events witnessed by prehistoric man the world over- appeared to shrink in size and become metamorphosized into an infant as it ascended the polar column. (95) The Daktyls' customary status as daemon-like attendants of the great mother goddess- like Heracles'/Bes' intimate association with the goddess- is best explained as reflecting the close proximity of the diminutive Mars to Venus when at the apex of its movement along the polar axis. If one interpretation saw the hero as ...
400. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... gold. The city of Great Zimbabwe dominated trade and culture throughout southern Africa from the 12th to the 17th century AD and objects have been found from as far away as Syria and China. It is dominated by sophisticated stonework of granite blocks and huge curved walls. Peculiar to the site are large carved soapstone birds on top of 3ft tall columns. It may have been eventually abandoned before 1700AD due to the nearby rivers having been panned clean of gold and a series of droughts may have brought environmental catastrophe to an area already damaged by over grazing. A judgement on Solomon Jewish Chronicle 12.6 .98 Buildings in northern Israel, including the first temple, dating from the ...
