... three years there, studying history, poetry, and philology, and politics, and other subjects, as they felt the urge. In earlier days it was even more so; but I do not intend to give you a long lesson in the history of scholarship. I understand that this University will soon have a bridge, a bridge crossing over this valley and river, connecting the University with the town, and so both will prosper. I think of the greater bridge that this University is already building. There are some innovators here, they are men who carry torches, who do not just repeat that which has already been repeated many times before. They are men ...
502. The Patchwork Pentateuch [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... were men, beside children [Elohist]. ' Apparently the long Exodus narrative was structured by the Redactor not using pieces of a genealogy, which had been appropriate to the more episodic Genesis, but using the itinerary list [. .. ] now located in the book of Numbers, chapter 33. [. .. ] Frank Cross demonstrated that the list was originally an independent document like the Book of Generations. The redactor used this list as a framework for the wilderness stories, just as he had used the Book of Generations for the Genesis stories' [9 ]. Similarly the Redactor used the P plagues narrative for the Egypt stories' [10]. ...

... most galaxies. Gamma Ray Bursters don't "release more energy than the Big Bang". When placed at their proper close-by distance, their energy output becomes more reasonable. 10) So-called "gravitational lensing" of background quasars and galaxies becomes ejection phenomena. This is especially true in the most notorious case of gravitational lensing, the "Einstein cross": Supposedly, four images of the same quasar wrap around the nucleus of a low-redshift galaxy. However, a bridge of high redshift hydrogen connects two of the "quasar images" and crosses in front of a lobe of the low-redshift galaxy. This proves conclusively that these images are not the same quasar, nor are they background ...
504. Medieval Europe: Dating And Recent Developments [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the Earth's rotation has changed with reference to the atomic clock. For instance, the values of DeltaT between AD 1672 and 1902 were negative as the Earth speeded up. The eclipse of AD 1140 William of Malmsbury died in c. AD 1143, so it is possible that he actually witnessed the eclipse himself. The zone of darkness crosses Malmsbury, where he resided as a monk. The description and the date is spot-on, so this provides us with first truly authentic and accurate contemporary observation. It also synchronises with the ASC account in Ms E with which has several similarities – enough to suggest that they come from the same source. Whether that source was Malmesbury, ...
505. Senmut and Phaeton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Apart from the possible disturbing effects of capsize and contra-rotation on the rate and direction of precession, however, the possibility of a subsequent interference by later catastrophes - Exodus, Joshua etc. - must also be taken into account (see note 14). Pre-Phaeton legends could also be expected to include at least some reference to the Southern Cross, for this relatively small kite shaped and jewel-like constellation would have been a conspicuous object in the northern skies when the world was upside down. A Possible Synthesis There still remains plenty of scope for estimation of the possible positions of the sun (bearing in mind that cometary tails are always directed away from the sun) and of Jupiter ...

... is interesting that the Caucasus area is later implicated in the origin of early Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilisation by some theorists). Some then returned to Africa and others spread further east. Modern humans later left Africa in one wave and eventually replaced Homo erectus around the globe. Genetic evidence indicates that this migration took place via a coastal route, crossing the Red Sea and spreading to Australia via India and south-east Malaysia; only thousands of years later did modern humans move north to Europe. Such a coast-hugging route is interesting in the light of the theory of an aquatic origin of the hominids. Genetic Evidence (National Geographic, June 2005, Section: The World by Numbers') ...
507. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... selective permeability to the transport of different charged particles, similar to ion and electron movement across a double layer in a plasma. An existing voltage difference between the cells internal cytoplasm and the external bio-plasma causes a double layer to form between the cytoplasm and the bio-plasma. We present our design of a plasma created in a vessel with two distinct cross sections, similar to the model mentioned in the paper. When two plasmas of different cross sectional areas are considered, a double layer in the plasma forms on the interface between the two separate volumes. We use a Langmuir probe to evaluate plasma parameters such as electric potential, electric field, and charge density in the areas inside and ...
508. Tree Symbols [Books]
... . 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 ...
509. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... periods, such as the Permo-Triassic boundary, can be similarly explained. Aside from such major cataclysms Clube and Napier have investigated the probabilities of terrestrial collision with smaller bodies after the major episodes every 50 million years. Of particular interest to the study of recent cometary history are the bodies known as Apollo asteroids. These move on unstable orbits which cross that of the Earth, and Clube and Napier have calculated the probability of impact by an Apollo asteroid to be 100 times higher than it was thought to be 25 years ago. In 1978 a new Apollo asteroid was discovered - Hephaistos, which at 10 km in diameter would have been big enough to wipe out the dinosaurs. Hephaistos ...

... to occult other bodies on occasion. These occultations, too, could occur at any time of day or night. (Daytime occultations might require greater proximity in order to be visible.) At the distance of Saturn from Earth, the umbra of Earth's shadow would be much smaller than the disc of Saturn. The umbra could be seen crossing the disc of Saturn from side to side. Surrounding the umbra would be the penumbra of Earth's shadow, but even the penumbra would be much smaller than the disc of Saturn. The entire shadow would look something like an "eye" crossing the face of Saturn, with an umbral pupil surrounded by a lighter penumbral iris. ( ...
