... Mars (228E6 km from Sun): 120 years. In the equivalent spiralling-in process, Cosbod would leave the vicinity of Jupiter with a charge of 6.14E14 C, having decelerated from its high ejection velocity (about 60 km/s ) to 4.88 km/s , due to the pull of Jupiter. It would cross the orbit of Mars 75 years later (if it is discharging at the rate of I E5 amps) and in a further 60 years it would cross the orbit of Earth. Owing to the eccentric shape of its path there is a chance of more than one close pass with the planets, but the risk of a serious disturbance ...
492. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Any Developments?source: Indian Express (Hyderabad) 20.10.87 Our correspondent Geoffrey Barnard, was in India recently and found an interesting item on Ugarit in the local press. It describes the demise of Ugarit at the end of the Bronze Age from what appears to have been an interview or press conference with Professor Frank Moore Cross of Harvard. Ugarit had a catastrophic end: "A great city died here in flames and fear. Flames melted limestone to lime, and fear scattered scribes from the ovens where they baked their clay tablets. They never returned." However, the report does not tell us anything new. Does any member know - have there ...
493. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . A rupture of the central water cistern forced the inhabitants to abandon the town for several decades. In biblical records, Zechariah's prophecy describes an earthquake which happened during Uzziah's reign in 760 BC in terms very consistent with modern observations. Earlier biblical quakes were one during the battle of Saul and Jonathan against the Philistines at Michmas, and the crossing of the Jordan by the Israelites and the collapse of the walls of Jericho during Joshua's seige. It is suggested that the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah was also by earthquake, the smoke' which Abraham saw being clouds of dust raised from the dry ground.

494. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... to create a Jewish scapegoat in order to distract popular attention away from social problems. (47) Distracted by the trial, and unhappy over the comparatively strict academic discipline, Velikovsky and Marek decided to drop out of school to become pioneers in Palestine. As a religious and romantic gesture, they decided to duplicate the original Mosaic passover by crossing the Sinai on foot but, more wisely, they settled on a seaborne passage instead. After a second visit to the pyramids for Velikovsky, they sailed to Jaffa. Upon receipt of a letter of recommendation from kinsman Jaffe, they enlisted as day laborers for the Agudath-Netaim plantation at Rehobath. But it was the rainy season and there ...
495. The Stability of the Solar System: An Historical Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Poisson and Lagrange showed that the solar system is stable over astronomically long times - and by "astronomically long times" we tend to think of millions of years, and by "stable" that the orbit of any planet would not change its average distance from the Sun by more than a few per cent: there would be no crossing of orbits, there would be no transformation of an orbit nearer the Sun than the Earth's orbit into an orbit further away from the Sun than the Earth's orbit. Uninformed celestial mechanics believes that this has been proved; that Laplace, Poisson and Lagrange said the last word on it over 150 years ago. In point of fact, ...
496. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an article on dinosaurs we are given examples of a mass death of a dinosaur herd of at least 10,000 in a volcanic eruption in North America, hundreds close together in New Mexico, a petrified forest of bones whose owners probably died from flooding in China and a herd of Triceratops-like beasts which may have sunk in mud trying to cross a river in Canada. A modern example happened after hurricane Andrew struck Florida in 1992. 182 million fish suffocated after stirred up organic matter depleted the oxygen in the water. EVOLUTION Earliest sailors Scientific American, January 1993, p. 90 Geologists declare that Madagascar started to separate from Africa 165 million years ago, at a time when ...
... heaven and Earth?" inquired the Babylonians, while the Zoroastrian priests declared, "We sacrifice unto Tistrya, the bright and glorious star, whose rising is watched by the chiefs of deep understanding." In both hemispheres, Velikovsky says, men fixed their gaze anxiously on the comet as, for centuries, it continued its circuit, crossing the orbits of both Earth and Mars. Before the middle of the eighth century B.C ., astrologers observed irregularities in its wandering. Viewed from Babylonia, Venus rose, disappeared in the west for over nine months, then reappeared in the east. Dipping below the eastern horizon, it was not seen for over two months ...
498. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of values involving sine functions is meaningless unless the position of the axis is obtained by plotting a graph. Subsequent computer studies convinced me that if a charged cosmic body had been ejected from Jupiter it was not proto-Venus but a much smaller body (the name Cosbod seems appropriate) that spiralled in until its orbit became stable, where it repeatedly crossed the orbit of an existing Venus. In this case it is unlikely there would have been any major disturbances to the orbits of Mars and Earth during its transit, but there would have been some induced electrical currents and abnormal tides. The idea in Reade's paper that Venus pushed the Earth out towards Mars, causing the Earth to start ...

The Guardian 27.1 .94 A new suggestion for the miracle of the Red Sea crossing is that the Israelites were actually crossing the Nile Delta, further north, and were deceived by a mirage of lagoons appearing to float as a high wall of water.

... . The other Chinese symbol (Figure 52 A), was used in sacrifices to the sun, moon, planets, and constellations.46 The world-wide distribution of megaliths suggests the world-wide distribution of beliefs connected with megaliths. In some areas these have overflowed into places where no megaliths were erected have survived. Fig 53. Symbol on Carnac Cross A Christian cross at Carnac in Brittany has on it a pillar symbol with sideways-sloping top (Figure 53), and it may he a relic of the persistence of mountain and river worship during early Christian times when as there is evidence to show many people were only half converted. Celtic pagan beliefs and practices survived for centuries. It ...
