... clear to the objective reader of this article is that the atmospheric gases deft in deposited layers [of snow] do not remain in those layers. Rather, due to gravity, they are diffused downward, tending to accumulate on top of more dense layers of ice below. "The accumulating firm [ice-snow granules] acts like a giant columnar sieve through which the gravitational enrichment can be maintained by molecular diffusion. At a given borehole, the time between the fresh fall of new snow and its conversion to nascent ice is roughly the height of the firn layers in [meters] divided by the annual accumulation of new ice in meters per year. This results in conversion times ...
... was still deadlocked. So Corner was directed to seek advice from three other Society members: a sociologist, an astronomer, and a historian of science. E. G. Boring, who had been with Corner at the Society's 1952 symposium on "Some Unorthodoxies of Modern Science," was scheduled to become the editor of the Proceedinqs letter column. During a visit to George Peabody College, Boring spent some twenty minutes telling his audience about the Velikovsky affair and claimed that if the Velikovsky paper were not accepted as an article, then he would run it as a letter, thereby dissociating the Society with its contents. Later, however, on January 20, Corner let Hess ...
513. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the beleaguered during the long siege. (2 ) Page 72 (line 55 of the Annals): Breasted does not translate: "by his own footsteps". He put (own) in brackets and remarks: "Literally: steps of marching"; and this was the text chosen by me. (3 ) Foot of column 1, page 73: I wrote: "It is suggested to see in Yamnia the seat of (the headquarter? and) the warcouncil described in the Annals" and this was the text agreed, too. Why, suddenly, campaign base? Nothing could be further from the truth. The base of Allenby's Egyptian Expeditionary Force ...
514. Society News: Dead Sea Scrolls [Journals] [SIS Review]
... verse. David Salkeld said that in Charlesworth there is an index of scriptures cited. In First Samuel he cites only ch 15:22 and ch 21 v 1-7. In Allegro the first quotation is from First Samuel I:22 to 2:6 . Between the Septuagint, Qumran and revised version, the 3 are quoted in parallel columns. It is the same story starting from Hannah and Elkanah's visit to the temple. Inspecting a passage of Samuel many of the words appeared to be interpolated. Benny Peiser said that although the whole book of Isaiah is supposed to be in the museum, the book only lists a little bit of ch. 5, a little bit ...
515. Velikovsky And The Cosmic Serpent [Journals] [Kronos]
... ! The whole emphasis and the catastrophic scenario are sufficiently different for the authors to be able to call it their own theory and to present it as novel." It would seem appropriate to mention this assessment by one Bernard Newgrosh in a recent none-too-friendly review of our book on behalf of the pro-Velikovskian journal KRONOS. For, here in the columns of Quadrant (October 1983) in another review, another pro-Velikovskian, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Sydney University, one D.C . Stove, has ferociously branded us as "butchers" and plagiarisers, apparently because "the theory The Cosmic Serpent (sic) puts forward happens to be essentially Velikovsky's". What is one ...
516. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... feared. They would desperately want to believe the opposite, and, if Aristotle emerged as the winner, then catastrophists could argue that his view won among the many contenders because he gave the people of his time the best reason to believe the opposite. It is known that the model of a set of interlocked spheres spinning about a central column or spindle, as it was developed with variations over centuries by Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and Cicero, had enough counter-indicative evidence facing it in its own days to make its wholehearted acceptance doubtful. That it nevertheless triumphed in the Hellenistic world could indicate that the people at that time and in that culture needed to view the universe as ...
517. The Origin and Decay of the Earth's Geomagnetic Field [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .025 3.103 .3103 Leaton, et al 1965 8.013 3.099 .3099 Hurwitz, at al 1965 8.017 3.100 .3100 Thomas G. Barnes, Origin and Destiny of the Earth's Magnetic Field. San Diego: Institution for Creation Research, 1973, 74. We have added a fourth column for the conversion from Tesla to Gauss. Some 25 measurements are presented between 1835 and 1960. Barnes' table has been criticized primarily because Barnes is a "fiat creationist."[6 ] He uses these data to make a dual claim that (a ) evolution is mistaken, and (b ) his alternative- fiat creation ...
518. The Venus Tablets: A Fresh Approach? [Journals] [Kronos]
... reconstruction; that has already been done in our previous papers, especially "Analysis" and "Artificial Insertion" (KRONOS II:2 and V:4 ). Rather, we shall simply list below, for purposes of the present discussion, our determination of the best readings of the Venus tablets. The year numbers in the left-hand column are a modern convention, which we follow just as a matter of convenience: each year number is assigned on the basis of the year in which the disappearance occurred, and two disappearances in the same year are distinguished as a and b. It should be noted that there is no textual support whatsoever for the placement of "Years ...
519. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... the full-length version of which is published in this very issue), the mythic World Mountain was described as having possessed a serpentine form, a whirling motion, and the capability of sucking material from Earth's surface. [24] It is thus obvious that, whatever it was, the World Mountain, which was the same as the Polar Column or Axis Mundi, could not have been a physical uplift of land. In the paper I have just mentioned, I offer two separate options as indicative of what this Axis could have been: (1 ) a Rankine vortex complete with bolus flow as per Frederic Jueneman, and/or (2 ) a sustained plasma discharge in ...
520. Orbits of Core Material Ejected from Gaseous Planets [Journals] [Kronos]
... terrestrial lightning until most of its charge is dissipated and the electrical field in the lightning channel falls below a critical value. The stream of positive ions represents a massive flow of material out of the central regions of the planet and a conversion of much of the charge into kinetic energy. Some of the material at the head of the the column would be discharged by free electrons in the surrounding medium, so the neutral material would cease to accelerate in the voltage gradient, causing the following charged material to pile up against it, forming a steadily growing mass proceeding to the outer regions of the planet and eventually emerging from its surface. Evidence has been published indicating that this process ...
