... Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents PART TWO: EXOTERRESTRIAL DROPS Reasoning from exoterrestrial exploration and the shapes and chemistry of the Earth's crust, and with a strong assist from early human legends, the origins of some material of the Earth's surface is assigned to fall-outs. They range from invisible gases to giant meteoroids. The geophysical column commonly displays exoterrestrial products and their effects. We stop short of using exoterrestrial fall-out like a magician pulling everything out of a hat. If still we appear extreme, it is well to recall that the physicist Alfven theorized that the Moon was at first a much larger aggregate which broke up, showering upon the Earth the whole of our ...

463. Venus -- A Youthful Planet [Journals] [Kronos]
... . H. Hess, a member of that Society. The paper was discussed at the editorial board meeting of the Society and caused prolonged and emotional deliberations with the Board split between those favoring the publication and those opposed to it. For several months a decision could not be reached. For a time it was planned to open a new column in the Proceedings, entrust it to Professor E. G. Boring of Harvard, and have it printed there. But this plan was revoked and the decision was made, in order to safeguard the very existence of the Board, to delegate the decision on the article to three members of the society, not members of the Board ...
464. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ago. The time available is geologically so short and the changes so radical that mechanisms and environmental pressures far greater than slow adaptation from trees to Savannah are called for. Neoteny would explain features such as our flat faces, small jaws, relatively large brain and one important adaptation for upright locomotion - the set of the skull on the spinal column. It does not, however, explain our layer of subcutaneous fat, our ability to vocalise, our relatively long legs and the pelvic structure necessary for efficient bipedalism. Nor does it explain our loss of hair, contrary to some lists of neotenic features; the human foetus grows a hairy covering which is shed before birth. If ...
465. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... by questioning their interpretations or reading of the parts of Genesis on which certain of their arguments are based. Having shown that both these viewpoints are faulty, he attempts to outline an alternative. After giving a brief account of Velikovskian catastrophism, the author gives his thoughts on a variety of subjects from the time of the Flood in the geological column (beginning of the Holocene), the Tower of Babel, the origin of races, and the Tabernacle. This second half of the book is disjointed and largely unconvincing, and falls short of an alternative explanation to either the neo-Darwinian or the Creationist view points. The objections to the neo-Darwinian synthesis are cited briefly by the author. ...
466. Quantavolutions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... in other books and magazines. I even go so far as to say that the Earth system has been settling down - this without conclusive evidence. But facts must be faced. The Earth has been severely traumatized in the memory of mankind. In words that I have used before, any place on earth can be viewed as a Quantavolutionary Column: Any tube of one kilometer diameter circumscribed anywhere on the surface of the Earth, which reaches as high as the end of the magnetosphere hundreds of miles upwards, and as low as the upper mantle some thirty kilometers down, will have endured within the past 14,000 years radical changes in its absolute and relative orientations, its ...
... Henry Zemel's one-hour documentary, Velikovsky: The Bonds of the Past, aired on the Canadian national television network. On March 20, Velikovsky spoke at Buffalo State College and on March 22 at the nearby McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. On March 24, Frederic B. Jueneman, an admirer of Velikovsky who mentioned him occasionally in his column in Industrial Research (although he had not yet met him), had a talk with NASA Ames psychologist Richard Haines. Haines was reading Worlds in Collision at the time, and their conversation turned to Velikovsky. This casual conversation led to the Life Sciences Division at Ames issuing an open invitation to speak at the institution. (1 ...

... many of the attributes of Christ, perhaps an Osiris character, who battles with his own father and later is associated with the first cultivation of corn and the invention of writing. I was intrigued to find the comet called Ishkoodah, with fiery tresses', and the Master of Life causing the forests to burst into flame and creating a column of smoke to touch the sky. A new variation on the rivers of blood theme are waters red with washed-off war paint. The monster to be overcome is the Great Bear of the Mountains and his slayer the West Wind, one of the four sacred quarters and father of Hiawatha in a very Zeus-like manner with the seduction of the ...
469. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... doubted, Schliemann eventually revealed a brilliant world of pre-Hellenic culture hitherto unsuspected [4 ]. Fig. 1 The Lion Gate at Mycenae (photo: T. Palmer) The main entranceway to Mycenae, known as the Lion Gate, is surmounted by two sculptured and now headless feline figures - rampant, heraldically opposed and separated by a central column. As things now stand, this stone relief is the oldest extant example of monumental sculpture on Greek soil; and, in the words of Boardman, more than five hundred years were to pass before Greek sculptors could command an idiom which would again satisfy [the same] monumental aspirations in sculpture and architecture' [5 ]. ...

... that there was proposed some degree of overlaps between the 19th and 20th Dynasties, and then between the 20th and following dynasties. Later, in Workshop 1986:1 , p. 19 there is a chart giving tentative dates for certain TIP rulers and High Priests of Amun (HPA). At the top can be seen in the left column the last part of the rule of Smendes from which his rule appears to have been proposed as starting about 866 BC. Alongside are Herihor and Piankhy - both HPA's. The chart positions suggest they held office about 850 BC. No evidence is given in the chart about the placements for the 20th Dynasty Ramessides. In Workshop 1989: ...
