232. Gases, Poisons and Food [Books] [de Grazia books]
... descent of digestible cell-building chemical compounds. Hydrocarbons are considered here as poisons; petroleum deposits are dealt with in a chapter to come. Radiation is treated as a poison, though it may be a creator at times. Electricity, as was said earlier, is everywhere and can go onstage with a number of the processes involving gaseous behavior. Comets and meteoroids, like volcanos, can emit gases. Explorer and scientist Humboldt thought it probable that the vapor of the tails of comets mingled with our atmosphere in the years 1819 and 1823. When, on March 24,1933 a fireball of six miles diameter sped across the American South, it trailed a tail one mile wide that ...

... by geological standards, and may eventually disappear again equally abruptly, showing few morphological changes in between. On occasions, mass extinctions of species have taken place, to be followed by the rapid appearances of new species to fill vacant ecological niches. Astronomical evidence suggests that at least some mass extinctions are likely to have resulted from the impacts of comets or asteroids upon the Earth, while geological and palaeontological evidence is consistent with the extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous Period and Eocene Epoch having had such a cause. Dr. Palmer graduated from Cambridge University in 1966 and obtained a PhD from London University for research in the field of inborn errors of metabolism. This work stimulated his ...
234. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 27, is my depiction of a classification of comet-like objects taken from a silk painting recovered from a Han Dynasty tomb dated to 168 BC. Almost all of the objects depicted have tails similar to the configurations appearing in Figures 25 and 26, above. To me, this similarity implies that- at one time- celestial bodies that may have been comets were illuminated by trails of plasma, not by solar-heated jets of gas. Figures 28 through 34, below, are my depictions of works which show the Crucifixion, or Passion, of Christ. Over the centuries, many artists have portrayed the Crucifixion and most of them project the same scenario: While Jesus is being crucified on the ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations II - Volcanoes and their Eruption VOLCANOES are usually divided into three categories: active, those bursting forth into eruption more or less frequently, such as Etna; dormant, those active in historic times, but long quiescent, like Monte Nuovo in the Phiegrean Fields of Italy; and extinct, those which have shown no activity over a prolonged period and yield no sign of functioning, like the volcanoes of South Wales, Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall. Yet it is difficult to be sure of any classification. Mount Popocatepeti, Mexico, for example, in February 1925 ...

... earth. So that if substances are to be distinguished by places, the portion and region of the earth challenges to itself the moon, which, by reason of neighborhood and proximity, has the right to be reputed and reckoned amongst the terrestrial natures of bodies."(7 ) Classical authors referred to the belief of the Chaldeans that comets move on orbits and return at periodic intervals.(8 ) However, it is Edmund Halley who is credited with the discovery of the periodic return of comets. Thus, the authors of basic discoveries of the laws of nature borrowed from the ancients or rediscovered the truths known to the ancients, but kept the ancients' names out ...

... .. . who propelled her into her present orbit, and proceeded to make two hits (or near hits) on the Earth on his own account, before returning to his present orbit.... We have here [in Worlds in Collision] an extraordinary achievement in a very difficult type of marksmanship- four hits [between the comet Venus and other planetary bodies] in a couple of thousand years. It is not only impossible. It is ridiculous. Stewart agreed with Payne-Gaposchkin: "Her word marksmanship' is altogether appropriate because these planets are so very small in proportion to the distances which normally separate them." And he gave as a comparative scale a page ...
238. The Ching Hsing [Journals] [Horus]
... Ching Hsing: Two yellow stars congeal from a red substance or pneuma and merge with another yellow star formed from a blue pneuma. The merging itself creates the Ching Hsing. Fortunately, Schaeffer removes some confusion by presenting examples of the Ching Hsing within historical contexts. One occurred in 110 B. C. Ssu Ma Chien writes that a comet appeared in the Chinese constellation "Eastern Well" and 10 to 12 days later appeared in the constellation "Three T'ai". The object then seemed to swell like a melon and afterward slowly faded away. At about the same time, the "Star of Longevity" (identified by sinologists as the bright star, Canopus) appeared ...

240. Samples From The Planets, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Samples From The Planets In the Vedic hymns the Maruts are implored to "be far from us and far the stone which you hurl." When comets pass close to the earth, stones occasionally fall; the classic case is that of the meteorite that fell at Aegospotami when a comet shone in the sk y.1 The Hindu book of Varahasanhita sees in the meteorites portents of devastation by fire and earthquake.2 Since the planets were gods, stones hurled by them or by the comets created in their encounters, were feared as divine missiles,3 and when they fell and ...
