323. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... land and biosphere that were worked upon in the scenario just presented. In an accompanying volume, Solaria Binaria, a million years is given. (See page 497.) Only a small fraction of the operations and product of the earth sciences and biology depends directly upon the chronologies that have been developed in natural history. Determining whether the dinosaurs were exterminated five thousand or fifty million years ago may have little to do with deciding whether the mammals had reptilian ancestors. King Kong may still be alive in some jungle for all the difference it would make to primate zoology. The protozoans are alive and studied without reference to the discovery of similar Precambrian species. Even the science of ...
324. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to make lava flow eruptions a probable result is more problematic. There are no accounts in the public domain of above- or below-ground thermo-nuclear tests which caused or nearly caused any such eruptions. But the energy liberated during the Tunguska event (which was tiny by comparison with, e.g . the asteroid impact thought to have killed the dinosaurs) was at least an order of magnitude greater than that of a large hydrogen bomb. Thus it is not incredible that a meteor stream striking the Earth could lead to crustal disruption locally, and hence possibly to an eruption of lava flow type: though intuitively it may be felt that this probability is likely to be rather lower than ...

326. The New York Velikovsky Centenary Conference [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to apologise for my absence to Roger Westcott who had chaired the session, and to have a few words with Sieff. I have time for two other brief points. Ted Holden did not speak at any of the formal sessions but he has been an active catastrophist on the Internet, especially regarding his thesis on the physical impossibility of large dinosaurs living in the current gravitational environment. He asserts that they could not lift their own body weights, nor reach upward to feed with their heavy heads on the ends of such long necks. He distributed many copies of papers he has written, and I commend their analysis. My model, which derives entirely from Warlow's original work, ...
327. The Oceans [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... probably gained much for the entire rationale of his theory and confirmation of catastrophic events acting with great deviation from their current intensity. All this, in fact, was well know long before Gould presented his criticism of Velikovsky based on plate tectonics. In fact, Gould himself, in arguing for cosmic catastrophes such as the one that drove the dinosaurs to extinction, admits that "The record of geologic history has been shown to be full of discontinuities. The better our methods of correlation become, the more geographically widespread some of these hiatuses become. Some are due to the withdrawal of the sea causing worldwide interruptions in the process of entombment of evidence, as well as erosion of ...

... scientists-that it be published in recognized science journals and that the submitter comply with valid criticisms. The question arises: Does Sagan himself always follow this time honored procedure? In recent years, Carl Sagan has become the leading exponent of a very controversial theory termed, "Nuclear Winter." This hypothesis offers an explanation for the death of the dinosaurs. If a meteor about six kilometers in diameter struck the Earth 65 million years ago, Sagan claims that the dust thrown into the atmosphere and the smoke from forest fires would be so great as to have blocked sufficient sunlight from reaching the Earth and thus caused a global freeze which he calls "nuclear winter." Sagan further claims ...
330. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... wide climatic problems and caused the year without a summer' when corn and other crops failed to ripen in North America. All these eruptions are clearly visible in the ice cores and in the tree rings of the following year. On the subject of meteorites or comets as envisaged by Velikovsky it is now quite clear that the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was due to an enormous impact which threw up enough dust to prevent the growth of vegetation for a few years and so the animals died of starvation - man surviving as a rat-like animal by eating rotten vegetation and the crocodile surviving on fish [12]. The ice cores contain evidence for every volcanic or extra-terrestrial ...
