... questions as settled once and for all. Ever since Darwin, the great majority of historians, anthropologists and geologists have assumed that the doctrine of gradual evolution was proven beyond need for further discussion. Today, the tide has turned somewhat. School children are taught that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to the crashing to Earth of a comet or an asteroid sixty million years ago. Astronomers have written books about how asteroid and comet impacts destroyed past civilisations and threaten our present one. Experts in the field of dendrochronology have concluded that treering data show steep environmental downturns within historical times and that these events seem to be tied to celestial phenomena. The present work is a summation ...
632. Thoth [Journals] [Thoth]
... moved on unstable orbits. But Thornhill does not stop with a visual display of unexplained crater and rille patterns; he gives us laboratory demonstrations. The conclusion? Electricity is the one force which can produce this unique scarring, visible on virtually all of the solid bodies revealed to us by space age exploration. Overviews on the electrical nature of comets, the "electrical sun", the flow of electricity though and between galaxies, and the electrical underpinnings of gravity make this CD a terrific contribution to a potential new science of the third millennium. The CD production is a co-venture between Thornhill and film producer Robert Dunlap.- MASS EXTINCTIONS: The CD $44.00 Paleontologist ...

... , passing over Moon in the period 3500-687 B.C . Note: Violin cow-shaped. 4. Little dog = fox = wolf= star = Mars = lupus Romanus; laugh = cry = disaster and also Mars wanted Moon. 5. Dish and spoon = Leyden jar with center rod = overelectrified, juggling, diddling movements. Also comet with its tail. There are far too many associated symbols and actions here to be mere nonsense or coincidence. When the small child delights in it or is fascinated by it, as was I, he a) loves the rhyme and rhythm, b) the images conveyed c) but are these enough for such old and widespread ...

635. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Spring/Summer Skeptical lnquirer(98) (formerly The Zetetic) contained a 3,300 word review which in being adapted for the August Physics Today,(99) was trimmed to 900 words. Whereas the longer version was inflammatory, the shorter version was toned down for its professional audience. Abell is explicit that "a comet was ejected from the planet Jupiter about the middle of the second millennium B.C ." (100) About the only thing stated correctly, albeit unwittingly, is that SCV does not bury Velikovsky's ideas. Themes common to both treatments include: . . . anyone with even modest training in astronomy or physics would recognize the theory ...
636. The Velikovsky Centenary Conference, New York, 1995 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... too. Such ideas, heretical 50 years ago, are humdrum now - the revolutionary thesis of today is the dogma of tomorrow. Nancy Owen interpreted the Dresden Codex as three separate calendric systems - 260 days, 360 days and 365 days (260 being oldest), covering essentially the data. The calendars begin with a passage of Halley's comet; to predict its return the 260 day one was used. Returns were feared: each new flyby brought catastrophes, eclipses, sometimes new year lengths. The 260 day system lasts 465 standard years, the 360 lasts 400 years and the 364 lasts several centuries. In 1993 the origin of Chinese religion was identified - an alignment of ...
637. An Ancient Latin Name for Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... 2 ) Varro and Festus compared the Morning Star's hair to a lion's mane.(3 ) The image would appear to be that of light scattered in all directions; only some poetic hyperbole could see in today's bright morning star a hairy apparition resembling a lion's mane.(4 ) Seneca and Pliny used the word iubar to describe a comet in the sense of a star with hair.(5 ) Modern scholars, however, unable to see how the word "hairy" could possibly be applied to Venus, have sought for different etymologies of iubar, for "the morning star does not appear as a luminous trail, but as a point lightly twinkling".( ...
638. The Fire Came By: The Riddle of the Great Siberian Explosion by John Baxter and Thomas Atkins [Journals] [Kronos]
... greeted their eyes, as those trees still left standing told of a firestorm which man himself wouldn't create for almost another two decades. But no fragments of this bolide were ever found. Because the nights were so bright for nearly two months after the Tunguska fall that one could read a newspaper unaided at midnight, it was conjectured that a comet had collided with the Earth, and that its tail had preceded the nucleus in dissipating in our atmosphere. Since the coefficient of transparency of the atmosphere had measurably decreased after the fall, similar to the effects after the Rakata eruption on Krakatoa in 1883, it was estimated that several million tons of cosmic pollution had been dumped into our ...
639. Velikovsky's 360 days/year calendar [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... world witnessed the SL-9 encounter with Jupiter. David Levy was quoted after the event, in effect that the astronomy texts would have to be rewritten after the observed impact. It is submitted that an SL-9 event might just change the orbit of the earth and that two English astronomers, Clube and Napier, have theorized that there was a giant comet lurking in the heavens within the history of man. As for physical evidence, also in 1994, a note within the MIT magazine, Technology Review said that radar studies of the Western Egyptian desert showed that a vast river system existed there perhaps as early 5,000 years ago. One would then have to speculate what could have ...
640. Gyroscopic Precession and Celestial Axis Displacement [Journals] [Pensee]
... the precession continues in effect. The causal forces necessary for such a shift are indeed large, and must appear as a torque applied to the earth's polar axis. Magnetic, electrostatic, and gravitational forces in combination could give rise to such a torque, and such would be a likely consequence of a "near collision" of a large comet with the earth. Celestial Axis Displacement due to Gyroscopic Precession The effect of either Pole precessing toward the sun is an expansion of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles to encompass lower latitudes, ultimately to the equator. If the torque is sufficiently strong that the angular rotation rate of the precession is of the order of magnitude of half the angular ...
