... There is no Th either, so 2o8pb could not have come from Th decay. It evidently, therefore, had to come from a NPLT reaction. The ore is dated at about 600 m y. The date was corrected approximately by taking into account the influence of the postulated NPLT reactions on the approximation that the (fast neutron) cross section of 2o6Pb and 2o7Pb are about the same, noting that fast neutron capture, with neutrons coming from fission-chain reactions, appear to be the only mechanism by which this assumption may be justified. The observed x-ratio 2ospb/2o7pb in this ore averaged 94.2 /5 .72 =16.5 . 2o8Pb averaged about 0 ...
322. Why Alternative Science? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to be pure quackery by conventional medical science; the technique known as Iridology, where the state of a patient's health is diagnosed from inspecting the iris of the eye. Knipschild's study found positive evidence for the effectiveness of the technique, as with homeopathy. This time, however, instead of simply publishing his findings, he first surveyed a cross section of his Dutch medical colleagues with a questionnaire. Did they believe Iridology was effective? Not surprisingly, he found that a few were believers, many were undecided and said they wanted further evidence, while a substantial number said that the whole idea was plainly absurd and merely a means by which charlatans extract money from gullible victims. ...
323. Celestial Dynamics and "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , which illustrates another of Dr Bass's points. I shall return to that point after the digression which follows immediately. It is a common error to interpret agreement between a prediction based upon a scientific model and the observed motion to mean that the model explains the cause of the motion. To be specific, by observing a comet as it crosses the sky over the months of its apparition we obtain a series of brightness values, apparent sizes and directions as data. We then can calculate how the comet moves based upon some specific geometrical model for space. The observations now have been translated into distances and directions using the properties of the space assumed in the model. Next we ...
324. The Stationary Period of the Satellites [Books]
... the other hand, this continent, then as now, was very likely the most considerable landmass within the satellite's tropics, and therefore had the most considerable local' gravitational pull. At that time the north pole was very probably situated off the coast of north-eastern Siberia, near Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean hence the equator of those days crossed Africa from about Cape Verde to Cape Guardafui, passed south of India and Ceylon, touched the south-eastern tip of Sumatra, passed all along through Java, touched the York Peninsula of Australia, and then traversed the wide Pacific to north-western Ecuador, crossing South America from about Quito to the mouth of the Orinoco, and passing across the ...
325. Global Catastrophes: New Evidence from Astronomy, Biology and Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... felt that the dust-ring hypothesis made clear much that had previously been found obscure in the astronomical descriptions of the ancients. He devoted the remainder of his talk to the astronomical reasons why such a phenomenon should be expected in the solar system in that era: the presence of at least one giant comet, and numerous smaller ones, on earth crossing orbits, gradually declining in activity between the 10th and 1st millennia BC. He concluded by describing the visual and catastrophic effects that would result from the Earth periodically passing through the ring of debris formed by the comet. Extinction and evolution Biochemist Dr Trevor Palmer After lunch, Dr Trevor Palmer, Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at Trent Polytechnic, ...
326. The Astronomical Basis of Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . So the sphere rotates 360 - one full revolution in one day of twenty-four hours; and the Sun, during that time, not only partakes of the rotation of the sphere, but also sneaks along the ecliptic about 1 , because it makes a full revolution of this circle in one year. At about March 21st the Sun is crossing the equator at the Spring equinox, and at this point we find Aries, , the constellation of the Ram. Further round we have Cancer, the Crab, - the constellation that the Sun reaches at the Summer solstice, about June 21st; it reaches Libra, the Scales, , at the Autumn equinox, about September 21st ...
327. Chapter X: the Solar Temple of Amen-ra At Karnak [Books]
... , are rows of sphinxes. This principle is carried to such an extent that in some cases separate isolated gates have been built right in front and exactly in the alignment of the temple. From one end of the temple to the other we find the axis marked out by narrow apertures in the various pylons, and many walls with doors crossing the axis. View to the South-West from the Sacred Lake of Amen-Ra Ruins of Door at Entrance of the Sanctuary The Obelisks near the Oldest Part of the Temple of Amen-Ra at Karnak In the temple of Amen-Ra there are 17 or 18 of these apertures, limiting the light which falls into the Holy of Holies or the Sanctuary.

328. The Electric Universe: Part I: Electrical Scarring [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , condules and isotopic anomalies which Wal suggests were due to them being struck by cosmic lightning bolts in space. Meteor Crater in Arizona [www.meteorcrater.com] shows features associated with electrical arcs, including: fulgarites [eg see www.minresco.com/fulgurites/fulgurites.htm], and two sinuous rilles which Wal crossed during his trip to the crater. Some of the characteristics of lightning include filaments, parallelism and sinuosity. Wal showed a photograph of a lightning strike on a golf course green showing a characteristic Lichtenberg figure [see Back Cover and also Pensee IVR X, p. 31, and images at www.aquila.net/bert. ...

... " in the "Grand Dictionnaire Universel du 19 Siècle," by M. Pierre Larousse:- "From the fifth century to the time of the Renaissance, the orientation of churches was generally carried out. The mystical reasons famished by the sacred writers- according to St. John of Damascus and Cassiodorus- were that Jesus on the Cross had His face turned towards the West, hence Christians during prayer must turn to the East to see it. Further, in the sacred writings Jesus is called the East (Oriens ex alto). Again, Christians hope to see Christ descending in the East on the last day. Finally, the faithful when turning to the East ...
