... field toward the ground in the form of sinuous "stepped leaders." This is a weakly luminous process. On reaching the ground a conductive channel is now available between the ground and the cloud. The result is the brilliant arc of the "return stroke" - a bolt of lightning. The simplest and smallest sprites are single vertical columns named C sprites. Large collections of C sprites resemble a mammoth fireworks display. A subset of the sprites with tendrils- often the largest and most energetic- also exhibit upward branching toward the ionosphere, and are named carrots. Very large sprites with diffuse tops and lower tendrils extending down to altitudes of 30-40 km have been dubbed angels, jellyfish ...
652. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... what I was trying to do in my letter in the same issue. David's case for the imitation in stone of natural plant material was a good one - should not Derek ask himself just why the uninspiring' hogweed was chosen in the first place? This could well have been because it reminded the early builders of a fluted cosmic polar column. In any case, as a structural unit its lack of floral beauty would have been of minor consideration. Jill Abery, Sittingbourne, Kent Whose is the Wrong' Direction?Dear Sir, I cannot help but question the presumption in some of Derek Shelley-Pearce's assertions above, e.g ., - wrong direction' - but ...
653. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... electromagnetic forces or relegate them to a much lesser role because of the dynamics of the major bodies in the system. What this would mean in terms of the mythic model is unclear at this time because of the problems associated with an isolated three-body problem orbiting a Lagrangian point in planetary space. Nonetheless it is to be expected that the polar column phenomenon arising from their relatively close proximity with each other and the subsequent sharing of their atmospheric constituents would take on some extraordinary serpentine twists and loops which might he attributed to correlated magnetohydrodynamic and inertial forces which in turn appear to be consistent with the message of myth. Further corroboration with the message of myth as it applies to the polar ...
654. On Dragons and Red Dwarves [Journals] [Aeon]
... performing a similar deed at the dawn of time. But how are we to understand the hero's entry into the belly of the dragon? A decisive clue is provided by the complimentary myth of the implanted embryo. If one approaches this tradition from the vantage point offered by the Saturn-thesis, it is obvious that as Mars rose up the polar column in the direction of Venus it appeared as if the warrior-hero was re-entering the womb of the mother-goddess (Venus). In our essay on Heracles, it was suggested that the movement of Mars into the near vicinity of Venus- whereby the smaller red orb actually appeared to be enclosed by the larger Venus- accounts for the hero's assumption ...

... cross referring to the bristlecone tree-ring sequence. This being so, it is criticisms such as those of Sorensen (note above) and Robins (SIS Review II:4 , pp.108ff.) that need to be followed up with the greatest vigour. - J. D. M. START. Horsham. Reprinted from the letters column of SIS Review IV:1 (1978) \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0601to3\56radio.htm ...
656. Egyptian Monumental Evidence [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt p 202ff, and M. Bierbrier (1975): The Late New Kingdom in Egypt p. 60ff. The bottom name in fig 2 is Vizier Nesipaqashuty iii. He died during the rule of Shoshenq III (dyn 22). If we now trace his lineage back in the left and right columns, in each case we find ancestors who were contemporaries of the rule of King Siamun. From this genealogy alone we can see that Shoshenq III did not just live after Ramesses II, but he also lived and died after the 21st dyn kings and the contemporary HPA's Pinudjem I and II etc, etc: somewhat contrary to the requirements ...
657. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... mythology. Zysman's belief that auroras were achieved through the earth's transit through great meteoric showers which involved reciprocal discharges between Earth and the impending space debris' is not incompatible with the kind of scenario envisaged by Clube and Napier. Zysman succeeds in reconciling the usual confusion between the North' and the Zenith' as regards the appearance of the world column'. References to the South Star as significant in the mythology, for instance, of the Pawnee Indians, is explained by Zysman's scenario. Perhaps the most significant corroboration of mythology involved in the Zysman model is the universal theme of the dying and rising god constituted by the descent into and ascent out of the underworld, as in ...
658. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Canon repaired the damage with patches, so any reconstruction must arrange these patches also in a line along the top. However, when David examined the papyrus, he noticed that one patch was out of place and belonged, not in the Second Intermediate Period, but in the Pre-Dynastic Period. Consequently, the list can be reduced from eleven columns to ten, and the 108-year 15th Dynasty repositioned in a manner consistent with David's chronology of the Hyksos Period. The Pharaoh of Exodus would be a certain Dudimes (the Tutimaeus mentioned by Manetho), but as there are two possible kings of that name in the Canon it is impossible to say which of these he was. David ...

... views. At the trial in December 1981 when the American Civil Liberties Union successfully challenged Arkansas State Act 590 giving equal time in education to creation science, many eminent clergymen were called to testify against the state, but only one well-known scientist, Chandra Wickramasinghe, was called for the defence. His views will be familiar to readers of these columns, and although as expected he said he had great doubts about Darwinism, he was even more scathing in his comments about creation science. The judge was perplexed as to why he had been called. By and large, the adherents of creation science are reduced to searching the biology literature for any statement they can use, usually out ...

... of its match to all of the observed phenomena we call "the Sun". That includes such things as granulation of the photosphere, chromospheric spicules, anomalous temperatures above the photosphere, anomalous Fraunhofer spectrum, and so on and on. In a glow discharge, the current is carried through most of the volume, known as the positive column region, by a slow "drift" of electrons superimposed on their higher thermal velocity. It takes place in a quasi-neutral plasma with a low density of ionization. That is what we observe in interplanetary space. It is only very close to the anode that the electric field becomes strong and accelerates electrons to relativistic speeds. So if ...
