... diameters their periods were also equal. When sufficiently rounded the orbits' projections on the mean plane between them approached congruence. The orbits' projections intersected at two points, with increasing separation between the orbits along the arcs beginning at these points; maximum separation was ~90 from the intersections. When the projected orbits of two in-spiraling magnetic planets crossed, non-merging mutual capture was possible if the relative velocities and the separation of the barycenters of the planets were sufficiently small. In addition, the separation at capture, sc, had to be nearly normal to the two orbits: sc ~ (sc )^ , s c ~ iã. The relative orbital inclination was i, the ...
412. Let There be Darkness: The Reign of the Swastika by Lewis M. Greenberg [Journals] [Aeon]
... century, also used the swastika in his publications. As Greenberg notes, Hitler recognized the swastika's psychological magic as a symbol which was as powerful as, but distinct from, both the Communist hammer and sickle and the crescent of Islam. Later, with the armies of the Third Reich, the swastika "came dangerously close to supplanting the cross of Christianity." The Nazi Party turned into an organization which was full of icons, but the swastika remained its supreme symbol, the one with mesmerizing power over the masses. It was, as Greenberg notes, the "simulacrum of the living god- Adolf Hitler- and the two were interchangeable." Anyone who has seen ...
413. New Insights to Antiquity: A Drawing Aside of the Veil by Richard Petersen [Journals] [Aeon]
... this into what might be generously called transcendental phenomena associated with cometary detritus, some aspects even achieving a certain elevated but ambiguous status with believers in the occult. He envisions comets as emanating from the Sun. Such gaseous solar emanations were to have condensed in the cold vastness of space and coalesced to form substantive bodies, parts of which have crossed over into another dimensional space-time frame, and which in turn have re-emerged to impact and cause occasional catastrophic events on Earth, such as the extraordinary lava outpouring in the American southwest. Even further back in time, he envisions a cometary impact in a somewhat Velikovskian scenario to change Earth's tilt and, subsequently, its angular momentum, so ...
414. Extra-Solar Planets: An Update [Journals] [Aeon]
... while terrestrial planets of this kind would be very cold, large [J ]ovian or sub-[J ]ovian masses may have enough internal heat to allow any type of life, even based on our carbohydrate chemistry, to develop on their surfaces." [26] III When is a planet not a planet? When it crosses the line arbitrarily selected by astronomers- or so it seems. Beginning around October 2000, news began circulating that more than half of the so-called extra-solar planets that had been discovered up to then were not planets at all but, rather, brown dwarf stars, double stars, or low-mass stars. [27] The reasons for this ...
415. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... from the Gallant archive [22] . Miranda de Ebro had the reputation as the worst of all Franco's camps. Life there was later described by another Belgian resistant, Charles D'Ydewalle, who arrived soon after Gallant [23] . Gallant himself thought it "not bad" by comparison with Dachau..., since at least Red Cross parcels were allowed in. In an exchange of allied pilots for the petrol much needed by Spain, Gallant was released from Miranda on 14 February 1942. Via Madrid and Gibraltar, Gallant now reached Gourock in Scotland on 26 May 1942. He spoke almost no English, had no money and was in bad physical shape having contracted tuberculosis ...
416. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... seen by Velikovsky as one of the ways people described the Venus phenomenon.16 As Epaphus is the grandfather of Busiris we detect another link between the Velikovskian Venus catastrophe and the Epaphus/Apop- Busiris/Khian -dynasty. Let us look, however, at other Herakles myths for signs of catastrophism. During his tenth labor Herakles had to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the island of King Geryones (now Cádiz) to the mainland of Spain. Poseidon made the waters retire in order to allow him to reach Spain with the cattle he had stolen from Geryones. This story can easily be explained as an exaggeration of the effects of normal ocean tides, but with equal probability one ...
417. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , 36 so that that strange enigma, the Assyrian prince Suppiluliumas II37 can be seen to have destroyed Mitanni about 650. Suppiluliumas marched direct from Anatolia across the Euphrates near Malatya into the country of Isuwa; he then proceeded via Alse to Wassukanni, the Mitannian capital. Tushratta, the king, had departed, so he (re)crossed the Euphrates. He then moved into central Syria, where he clashed with a King Sutatarra and his son Aitakama.38 It is quite clear that all of Suppiluliumas' campaigns against Mitanni involved territory in and around the Upper Euphrates. In Amarna Letter 7539 Rib-Addi reported "that the king of Hati has overcome all the lands, which ...
418. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part IId [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and rebellion, Israel was sentenced to wander in the wilderness until the older generation had died off. In Numbers 14:33-34 and Acts 7:36 we find that the Israelites wandered there for forty years (1492-1452). It was 38 years between the time the Israelites first came to Kadesh and the time they returned under Moses and crossed the brook Zered (Numbers 21:12-13; Deuteronomy 2:14). Probably during the late summer or early autumn of the fortieth year (1453) Israel defeated two Canaanite kings who ruled east of the Jordan, Sihon king of the Amorites at Heshbon and Og king of Bashan (Numbers 21:21-35). The Israelites ...
419. Out of the Desert: Archaeology and the Exodus/Conquest Narratives (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... contrary to my remark quoting Redford; it makes for no historical consequences, however. Stiebing's discussion of the political and climatic changes in the ancient Near East in the latter part of the second millennium might have included Tadmor's article (" The Decline of Empires in Western Asia ca. 1200 B.C .E ." in Frank Moore Cross, Ed., Symposia Celebrating the Seventy Fifth Anniversary of the American Schools of Oriental Research, 1900-1975. Cambridge: 1979, pp. 1-15) on the subject, and a reference to Wenamun usually considered to mark a breakdown in Egypt's political arrangements abroad (Miriam Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, II, 1976, pp. 224-30 ...
420. Plenitude of New Worlds Challenges Skills of Planetary Modelers [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... huge comets. In a paper to appear in the Astrophysical Journal, Lin and Shigeru Ida of the Tokyo Institute of Technology suggest that each star may have possessed a massive disk of gas and dust, spawning several large planets. Within a few million years, the pernicious effects of gravity could have perturbed the planets sufficiently to make their orbits cross. Then, inevitable collisions created a single enormous object with a bizarre orbital path. If this notion sounds vaguely familiar, it should: Immanuel Velikovsky proposed that similar events in our own solar system could explain certain oddities in the rotations and positions of planets. Velikovsky's 1950 book Worlds in Collision went way off the deep end, but ...
