... would also behave like this magnetic tippe-top if approached by another body possessing an appreciable electromagnetic field. One or the other body might undergo tippling, or for that matter, both, if the approaching body was also approximately spheroid. If the approaching body was rather more like the bar magnet and elongated in shape (i .e . a comet with appreciable electro-magnetic field) then tippling should always be the case. Nel Kluitman, Campestro, Switzerland. Dinosaur Graveyards Dear Sir, As regards "Death of the Dinosaurs" in Workshop vol.2 no.4 pp.6-7, why do so many commentators make such a mystery of the dinosaur extinction? There is much more ...

643. Astronomy As Art [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , an artists' rendition that precedes the mathematical development. See? If you think of the galaxy as an electrical circuit, the images fall into place: they're echoed on every scale, from lightning scars on Earth to arachnoid webs on Venus to the icy patchwork of Europa. The phenomena found in plasma labs provide a visual connection between comet tails, coronal mass ejections, machined craters, planetary nebulae, and galactic jets. In the behavior of the comet Shoemaker-Levi-9 you can see a mini-version of the polar configuration and its break-up. The math is in progress. If history can be used to predict the future, I expect that the math will confirm some aspects of this ...

... form horizontal strata, which were later dislocated by depressions and elevations of unspecified origin to form the patterns his contemporaries could observe. William Whiston agreed that some of the waters of the Flood had been released from the central Abyss, but he considered that the major proportion had fallen as rain derived from the vapours in the tail of a passing comet: he was aware that comets revolve about the Sun in elliptical orbits of high eccentricity. Whiston also believed that the passage of the comet brought about the diurnal rotation of the Earth and changed its orbit from a perfect circle to an ellipse. Robert Hooke was unconvinced that Noah's Flood could have lasted long enough to account for all the ...

... of all the data from those who saw it plus a video of the event appear to show that the object entered Earth's atmosphere at an improbable velocity and its orbit was not only nowhere near the asteroid belt but out of the ecliptic altogether. This means that it must have originated in deep space, well outside even the Oort cloud of comets at the fringe of the Solar System. Hot problems for Venus Scientific American March 99, pp. 34-41, Aug.99, p. 4 An assessment of all the information sent back to Earth by Venus probes has led some researchers to believe that the planet has undergone large climate changes. The obvious signs of massive vulcanism and ...

... the time of day. For Jehovah's cloud was over the tabernacle by day, and a fire continued upon it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their stages of journey. [Exodus 40:38] We must be aware that this was not the pillar of fire/cloud identified by Velikovsky as the comet Venus. This was no comet in the sky; it was earthbound and intermittent- and associated strictly with the Tabernacle. It was, to some degree, approachable, and coming into its presence could have strange consequences. And he [Moses] went gathering seventy men of the older men of the people and proceded to have them ...

... this idea is O'Keefe (see Workshop 3:3 , p. 18). The majority opinion these days is that tektites result from ". .. the impact melting of terrestrial rocks, especially sediments .. ." In other words, these glassy beads are formed by the melting of Earth rocks consequent upon the impact of a comet or meteorite. In its favour this hypothesis has the long-known fact that ". .. the chemistry of tektites resembles nothing so much as continental sediments, especially sandstones". Also in its favour, but not mentioned by Smith, is the fact that tektites do not bear cosmic ray tracks (Workshop 4:2 , p. ...

... of the big bang theory. ASTRONOMY Surprising Saturn (New Scientist, 21.8 .04, p. 5; 10.7 .04, p. 10) The Cassini spacecraft has discovered 2 new moons orbiting Saturn, surprising astronomers yet again because they are so small that they should have been destroyed long ago by collisions with comets. More surprises resulted from observations of Saturn's rings, with lots of ringlets with unexpectedly sharp edges. These should have been smoothed out due to collisions between particles. Some ring particles also appeared to be clumping together, causing the head of the imaging team to say: I don't know what this is. I literally don't have a ...

... under evolutionary pressures. [This type of biological datum is considered anomalous because the genetic incorporation of knowledge about "biological warfare" is considered improbable. Ed.] (Brodie, E. D., Jr.; "Hedgehogs Use Toad Venom in Their Own Defence", Nature, 268:627-628, 1977). INFECTIONS FROM COMETS Astronomer Fred Hoyle notes that pandernics and plagues have generally appeared very suddenly and unexpectedly, sweeping the globe with hard-to-explain swiftness. Noting in passing that comets have always been considered bad omens, he postulates that cometary matter may actually contain bacteria and viruses that infect the earth's populace as the planet passes through cometary tails. Recent spectroscopic studies of ...

... virtue of intensive research, Rix had established that the ankh was not only a widespread symbol, a religious symbol of wide dedication, but also a manifestation of androgyny, that is, a representation of the female vulva and the male phallus, and furthermore was securely identified with a cometary form, especially Venus, with ominous indications that the comet being discussed was a head that had dropped its tail, the victim of this accident being not only the two-sexed god concerned, but also the Earth on which the tail in the form of Phaeton, Typhon, Lucifer and Pallas descended with disastrous consequences. Lowery, the Editor, partly out of deviltry and partly out of pedantry, ...
