401. Varves And Bok Globules (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... frozen gases. Any Bok globule must therefore slowly condense into a collection of masses of random sizes made up of frozen gases and grains of dust. Photographic examples of these condensed globules can be seen in The Cosmic Serpent, by Victor Clube and Bill Napier (London, 1982), pages 38 and 39. These pictures show "interstellar comets" with extended tails many times the size of the Solar System. A single very large mass could not possess such a tail since the gravity would be too strong to allow any gas and dust to escape from the surface. These "interstellar comets" must consist of a collection of small objects that could only have condensed from a ...

402. Cosmic Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ]. This implies logically the belief that within our family of planets, a monstrous direct collision once occurred. Ovenden assigns the, explosion to an encounter with a hypothetical intruder passing through the solar system. Even before Ovenden, scientists such as Kuiper, Bobrovnikoff, Whipple, and Tombaugh lent their authority, too, to the idea that comets and planets collided in the asteroid belt. Whipple went so far as to talk of collisions in that area only 4200 and -1500 years ago, in 1950, the same year in which Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision. But Whipple immediately became a dedicated crusader against Velikovsky [3 ]. IMPACTS ON EARTH It is also known that comets ...

... in an uncanny fashion, one hundred years before Apollo 11, he invented some details that became reality in the 1969 mission. But when he reached the age of sixty his spring dried up and his mantle was snatched by H. G. Wells. In The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and In the Days of the Comet, Wells mixed science fiction with social fiction, and his exuberant optimism carried him and his readers to think that man's limits were not even the sky. He also composed his famous short history of the world and was preeminent among those who, though atheists or anti-clerics, saw man's future as bright and worth improving, and life as ...

... heap of water was tremendous." Nothing more, nothing less. Furthermore, a Venus approach to the Earth within one or two Earth-radii would exceed the Roche limit of both bodies, something which the historical records appear to rule out. To cloud the issue further, Sagan estimates the probability that one of the Apollo objects (either dead comets or asteroids) would be the size of Venus. This is totally irrelevant to the argument at hand; it is as useful as measuring all the Hondas in the world and then calculating the probability of finding one the size of a Mack truck. In a six-part NASA news release series of 1976, Sagan described the Viking mission and ...

... The year of the impact might have been 1178AD, thereby explaining the observations in the Canterbury annals, as proposed by Hartung [2 ]. It is known that cometary or meteoritic impacts do not happen in a purely stochastic way and almost contemporary multiple impacts are rather common. This is because impacting bodies are often part of a stream (comets, Apollos, .. .) produced by the disintegration of an initially larger body. While the stream tends to expand and dissolve with time, its existence is nonetheless the reason for a likely multiplicity of impacts (e .g . Vienna University geologists Alexander and Edith Tollmann have given geological arguments for a seven-fold multiple cometary impact over ...

... point in the prehistoric past. Furthermore, Saturn deities are often curiously connected with legends of the Deluge. (For example in Babylonia it was Ea/Enki who warned the Babylonian equivalent of Noah that the Flood was coming.) So Velikovsky speculated that a nova-like explosion of the planet had been responsible for the Deluge, as two watery comets ejected from the exploding planet splashed over the Earth. Velikovsky had an uncanny knack for predicting the results of space probes by using models based on mythology and Saturn provides a good test case. If Saturn had flared up like a nova, Velikovsky reasoned, then it should emit X-rays and/or cosmic rays in the same way that ...

407. The Darkness, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Darkness The earth entered deeper into the tail of the onrushing comet and approached its body. This approach, if one is to believe the sources, was followed by a disturbance in the rotation of the earth. Terrific hurricanes swept the earth because of the change or reversal of the angular velocity of rotation and because of the sweeping gases, dust, and cinders of the comet. Numerous rabbinical sources describe the calamity of darkness; the material is collated as follows:(1 ) An exceedingly strong wind endured seven days. All the time the land was shrouded in darkness. ...

409. Angel & Catastrophism Part II [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... it is becoming equally clear to the catastrophist that the idea of the serpent' and the Fall' are associated with an apparent falling of a cometary body from the sky. All the features associated with the devil are clearly in evidence here. The horns have been demonstrated as a universal mythological feature in connection with the aspect of an approaching comet. It must be remembered, however, that horns in mythology - Biblical or otherwise - are an ambivalent feature since they are associated both with gods and devils. In spite of Hyam Maccoby's letter in S.I .S Review Vol. II, No. 4, in which he plays down the idea of Moses as a ...

410. Falling Dust and Stone [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , simplistic image lets the children be amused. But the insistence with which this particular canard is purveyed says something about the fear of falling skies, which absurdly seems to grip even the savants in their obsession with foisting it upon their perceived ancestors and their descendents. In the most ancient legends it is common to find references to more than comets and deluges of water. Deluges from the sky consist also of dust, loess, stones, glass, tar, oil, salt, gold, iron, ashes, carbohydrates - all of them sometimes hot and sometimes aflame. They are invariably tied to catastrophes. Donnelly collected some of the stories: We read in the Ute legends ...
