... , and motion would remain precisely radial. However, such motion would be dynamically unstable: Given even a slightly off-radial velocity component, the forces would be unbalanced, such as to cause the velocity vector to become further off-radial. (That is, these forces would be proportional in magnitude to, and in the direction of, the vector cross product of the curl vector of the plasma field and the body's velocity vector.) Hence, any charged body approaching the Sun on a path not precisely radial will experience "magnetic forces" tending to circularize its orbit about the Sun, not because of the existence of interplanetary "magnetic fields" but due to the dual unbalanced proton-electron ...
432. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... conclusion in no way follows necessarily from the statement. Perhaps it is forced by the desire to have a head on collision between Marduk and Tiamat instead of a less energetic over-taking collision. The retrograde orbit supposedly explains the retrograde orbits of some comets [p . 205]. The quotation above illustrates another problem, namely, that whenever Marduk crosses another planet's orbit, the text usually implies that Marduk meets that planet. This would be an extremely improbable recurring chain of events. With so many perturbations by close encounters, Marduk's period would hardly remain constant at 3,600 years. Gravitation is called upon to do Herculean tasks, such as pulling moons out of Marduk as he ...
433. Orphic Hymns And Astronomy [Journals] [Kronos]
... the Orphic Hymns declare that the cosmic order they describe came into existence with "the cataclysm of Ogyges," a physical event by which they date their cosmogony (p . 74).* My own personal research in ancient geography indicates that the Orphic Hymns originated before the dessication of the Sahara, since they describe with mathematical precision the crossing of North Africa by boat, following rivers the dried beds of which can be traced today. [* See Worlds in Collision, "The Floods of Deucalion and Ogyges".- LMG] \cdrom\pubs\journals\kronos\vol0604\003hymns.htm ...
434. The Role of Collective Amnesia in Retarding the Acceptance of Correct Ideas in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... triumphant welcome from Clavius and his mathematicians after their confirmation of his discoveries." (Joseph Needham and Wang Ling, Science and Civilization in China, Vol. III(1959), p. 444.) 3. Much criticism leveled at Velikovsky attacks his qualifications, i.e ., that in formulating his reconstruction Velikovsky had to cross disciplinary lines and, thus, in these areas, lacked scholarly authority. The point is not emphasized, however, concerning his widespread academic achievements, his specialization in medicine, and later the rigorous training in psychoanalysis. No reasonable person who examined Velikovsky's academic and professional record could claim seriously that he was inadequately grounded in the sciences, ...
435. Velikovsky and Historical Anti-Naturism [Journals] [Kronos]
... from many sources from around the world, including especially the one that Boas had referred him to, Velikovsky was able to dispute the notion that myths could so easily be disseminated. The migration of ideas may follow the migration of peoples, but how could unusual motifs of folklore reach isolated islands where the aborigines do not have any means of crossing the sea? Peoples still living in the stone age possess the same, often strange, motifs as the cultured nations. The particular character of some of the contents of folklore makes it impossible to assume that it was only by mere chance that the same motifs were created in all corners of the world. If a phenomenon had been ...
436. Velikovsky at Harvard [Journals] [Pensee]
... , but we are still not satisfied. We have to find the same story in all places. These events created the mythology of all the peoples. Besides, we have the historical records. "One must go again and again to specialists. As an interdisciplinary synthesist you are not a jack-of-all-trades. You are the one who dares to cross the barriers. Every department is divided into compartments, and scholars believe that in other compartments there are no fundamental, unsolved questions. All is solved. Only he has some questions. He does not know that in other compartments is the very same situation." During an informal workshop the next day Velikovsky reflected on the value of ...
437. The Sacred Circuit [Books]
... Highlanders were guilty of "frequent approaches to some ruinous chappels and circulateing of them. J F. Campbell in his Popular Tales of the West Highlands gives a number of instances of the custom: Every English sailor coils a rope sun-wise; but I have never been able to find out that he alters the direction of his coil when he crosses the line, and ought to coil it the other way. Girls dance in a circle, and all England commonly dances in a circle about the mistletoe when we dance the old year out and the new year in. He refers to dancers who "move to the left" and thinks this is sun-wise and planet-wise, if the ...
438. The Satellites of Neptune and the Origin of Pluto [Journals] [Kronos]
... Escaped Satellite of Venus " [Icarus 28, 435-440 (1976)]. They conclude that such a process is possible for Venus and Mercury, but observe that a similar fate does not await Earth's Moon. INTRODUCTION The idea that Pluto is an escaped satellite of Neptune has been suggested by the fact that the orbits of the two planets cross, and by the similarity in brightness of Pluto and Neptune's current satellite, Triton. However, the initial determination of the mass of Pluto from its perturbations on the orbits of Uranus and Neptune (Eckert et al., 1951) gave a value of 1/360,000 solar mass, just slightly less than the mass of ...

... person described is Gideon, a military figure, a mighty man of valor, it would seem, as were those Benjamite military leaders who dined with David.) In II Samuel 18 we have another military scene. David is fleeing from Absalom, who organized a coup d'etat in Jerusalem. With a small but dedicated group of followers David crosses the Jordan and organizes for defense. He set captains over thousands and captains over hundreds. David (despite his age) proposed that he lead the troops in battle: .. .and the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of ...
... give any specific information as to when it occurred. The reference to the incident in connection with the migration of Israel out of Egypt suggests that it was not an event of recent occurrence. A much earlier reference to the incident is found in Deuteronomy 2:23. Moses is reviewing the incidents between the Exodus and the preparation for the crossing of Jordan. After referring to the conquest of the land of Ammon by the descendants of Lot and the occupation of Edom by the descendants of Esau, it is stated that the territory previously occupied by the "Avims" was conquered by the Caphtorims who had migrated from Caphtor. And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto ...
