... be caused by a massive shift within the Earth in response to an external force gradient. The new angular velocity would differ from the former and cause a change in the length of the day. 7. The Coast Mountains but not the Canadian Rockies are not shown on a National Geographic supplement map, North America in the age of the Dinosaurs', showing the location of dinosaur fossils from 74 million* years ago.

242. A Philosophy for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . But if they exist, and have existed for a very long time, then the earlier paradigm was false so far as it failed to acknowledge their existence, the later is true so far as it acknowledges it. Similar examples can be taken from palaeontology. A few centuries ago, if someone had been given a description of a dinosaur, and asked whether such a thing had ever existed on earth, he would certainly have said no; whereas most educated people would now say yes. There is thus a perfectly clear sense in which, if dinosaurs really did exist, the earlier paradigms were false as regards the matter, our own paradigm true. If there is ...

... been a "catastrophic event", in the words of two geophysicists in the forefront of drift theory [3 ], to initiate Pangaea's break-up, would Gould like to provide convincing explanations in terms of continental drift, without invoking catastrophes (and on one side of the paper only), of: (a ) The disappearance of the dinosaurs (who inhabited every continent except for Antarctica, and had already thrived on land and in air for some 120 million years of continental drift) at the end of the Cretaceous, accompanied by the marine ichthyosaurs, mososaurs, ammonites, some species of flowering plants and a wide variety of other creatures; (b ) the disappearance of ...

... planets with catastrophic effect. On the Earth, bombardment by large numbers of small fragments could cause geomagnetic reversals and the eventual arrival of larger missiles could cause widespread extinctions. Such a pattern, Clube and Napier feel, can be detected at the end of the Cretaceous, when a 5-million-year period of geomagnetic reversals finished with the annihilation of the dinosaurs and many other life-forms. The end of other major geological and evolutionary 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 ...

246. Revelation and Catastrophe during the Christian Era: a Basis for Historical Interpolation and Future Extrapolation. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is difficult to believe that this threat was taken at all seriously by those involved: rather, it seems to have been more an opportunist measure to take advantage of a finding which had captured the attention of the American people. Thus, there had been very wide publicity surrounding the supposed involvement of an asteroid impact in the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and evidently this was the vehicle chosen to convince the American public that the cosmic threat to civilisation was not altogether remote. Certainly it was enough to justify the series of international scientific meetings that followed, to which space technologists (with an interest in national defence) and astronomers (with an interest in impacts ...

... have estimated that its nucleus may be about 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 kilometers) in diameter. The average comet is thought to have a nucleus of about 3 miles (5 kilometers) in diameter, or even smaller. The comet or asteroid that struck the Earth 65 million years ago, possibly causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, was probably about 6 to 9 miles (10 to 15 kilometers) across. [W .T . Comments] The electrical parturition model of formation of highly condensed planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteorites suggests that there are no real constitutional differences between them. Comets appear as they do because of their charge difference with ...

... done and it turns out that the length of the day has become greater over geological time, the differences in time noted in these growth patterns was not equal, the rate at which change occurred was not the same throughout geological time. Interestingly enough, at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, which I'll talk about later, this is when all the dinosaurs all of a sudden just disappeared, we had a sudden change in the rate of these changes in the day-length, the length of the month and the year noted in these growth patterns. This third point is extremely interesting in terms of catastrophic possibilities in the past. Secondly, since most archaeological sites that I've known of personally, ...

... atmosphere was thinned. As the legends say, it was now the bitter, cold age of the "God of the Bright Skies", Jupiter. The mammoths, dry frozen in a vacuum, rested in their packages of muck until the present day. After relating so dramatic a story, it would be excessive to speak of the dinosaurs and other mass extinctions, and these shall be saved until the appropriate chapter. Other issues remain to be discussed here relating to gases and poisons. One has to do with human experiences with atmospheric pressure, not only in moments such as asphyxiated the great mammals, but time and time again in primeval history. Sudden electrical events, ...
