... )is blueshifted by one redshift quanta) (Yes? No? Maybe?) Wal replies: It seems so from Arp's model and reconstruction of events in the local cluster of galaxies. Amy: So the question becomes, what happens to our local solar system when the entire galaxy instantly jumps up one electrostatic gravity quantum? Are the dinosaurs testimony to the last time that happened? And would such a jump result in a sudden change in planetary orbits? Say, set into motion the events of the recent history of the solar system? I would assume that there are also local events going on at all scales (stellar jets, SL9, etc.), but ...
302. Thoth Vol V, No 3: Feb 28, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... projectiles of various sizes hit the Moon, which interests us because the distribution of projectiles that bombarded the Moon must also hit the Earth. Although there are complications - it is not completely straightforward to relate the distribution of craters to that of projectiles - this is why horrific impacts like the one at Chicxulub, which ended the age of the dinosaurs on Earth, are much less frequent than minor impacts like the one that made Barringer Meteor Crater (and we are thankful). This is also why the largest impact craters on a body, like Psyche or Himeros (if it is one), are likely to be the oldest. Larger impacts occur less frequently, so it ...
303. Darwinian Diary, part I (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... an array of diverse species as they colonized an archipelago with numerous vacant ecological niches. And modern mammals underwent their period of most rapid evolution and diversification after the dominant land reptiles of the Cretaceous era went extinct." Francis Hitching, in The Neck of the Giraffe, discusses in more detail the possible reasons for the rapid extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous era, and he goes on to consider the ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky and Peter Warlow on the causes of catastrophes. The book closes with a fair account of the life and work of Charles Darwin, and a discussion of its significance. Also, in common with Darwinism Defended, The Neck of the ...
304. A Model of the Polar Configuration [Articles]
... Moderator: Charles, do you want to make your announcement as well as ask your question? Questioner 6: Yes, if possible. I'll ask my question first, then make my announcement. I'm interested in the effects on the gravity of the Earth of the model that you created. That is, Ted Holden was talking about the dinosaurs, and he spoke of them as being in an environment which implies lower surface gravity. And...Have you...Would this model, in some way, I don't see... Grubaugh: Yes, you can calculate the change. There would be a substantial tide as a result of all these planets ...
305. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Articles]
... gone even further in that direction. Semioticians, structuralists, and hermeneuticians have all concentrated upon the overriding importance of understanding texts and artifacts in very literal ways in order to gain genuine insight into human affairs. Scientifically orthodox advocates of "punctuated equilibrium" within the evolutionary process and of cometary causes of terrestrial life and of the extinction of the dinosaurs have gained a large measure of acceptance from their more uniformitarian-minded peers. Astronomers who have studied cosmic electromagnetism and geologists who have investigated anomalous earth formations have quietly pursued their research with no more than the usual academic cavil. Merely by dropping one of the zeros from Plato's date for the destruction of Atlantis, serious investigators have been allowed to ...
306. Evolution from Space [Articles]
... It seems that what you have argued is: there is a kind of catastrophe in space, in star formation, in your book Life Cloud you begin with the Darwinian view of evolution- to what extent is your theory modified or rendered invalid by the possibility of catastrophe on Earth, the sort of catastrophes that produce the end of the dinosaurs, for instance, could well produce the formation of some other form of life. Still further back, the non-living organization of material could have been changed to a living stage by a catastrophe on Earth, without having to go into space and look there. You don't seem to have considered that. Professor Wickramasinghe: No, I ...
307. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 10,000 years ago and exhibit a gradually rising (average) temperature thereafter would surely thaw out even a massive woolly mammoth exposed at the surface". He goes on to draw attention to the fact that in Alberta and Saskatchewan "for all practical purposes the mastodon discoveries in these regions involved effectively the same level of stratification as the dinosaur discoveries " . Evolution When it comes to the origins and nature of life, Cook provides more food for thought: "Material balance requires respiration processes in the animal kingdom to be occurring in total and at all times almost precisely the same rate as the opposing photosynthesis processes in the plant kingdom, otherwise one of these complementary processes would ...
308. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology. Part One: Radiometric Chronometry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... present isotopic ratios for chronometry, thermometry, or for any other form of study. Such evidence as exists seems negative or is lacking. Radiocarbon dates, as was noted above, seem to be most vulnerable to biospheric fractionation, but the other decays are not likely immune. The finding of Jaworsky and Pensko of anomalously high uranium concentrations in dinosaur bones (dated as late Cretaceous) suggests either enrichment in the living animal or of its remains [25]. Isotopic fractionation, there unreported, was not likely investigated but cannot be ruled out. The reader should regard words like "anomalously high amounts" or "severely depleted in" to be synonyms for "the isotopic mix ...
309. Early Historic Man -- Catastrophism and Calendars [Articles]
... off Iceland, which was born in the last ten years, even less. All that electrical activity creates nuclear reactions in the atmosphere. If you have wholesale outbursts of volcanism all over the world, you are filling the atmosphere with lethal radiation, especially in geological times, and I allude here more or less to the end of the dinosaurs. This is the electric field created in a dust storm, and dust storms certainly existed after catastrophes. Here, ladies and gentlemen, what you see is a wave of granite. This must have been formed when the earth was liquid enough to have waves like this one. This formation is found in Australia, about 200, ...
310. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... or two of an arctic zone. Also the world then far less burdened with weight than at present would, in accordance with the law of gravity, complete a shorter annual orbit and so be nearer to the Sun, thus enjoying indefinitely greater warmth. Amid such conditions it can be foreseen how the greater crustaceans and mammals such as the dinosaur came into existence through volcanic agency amid atmospheric and climatic conditions which made the world of that time a vast incubator or forcing house. 193.Less fortunate than Tahiti was another land whose geological classification probably dates from the old Red Sandstone epoch. No one can study the classic descriptions of the Hyperborean Continent without recognising the fact that it ...
