... by pejorative terms- pseudo-scientist and crank. In his book, Bauer's Chapter 8 is titled, "Pseudo-Scientists, Cranks, Crackpots." What then of the pejorative term "crackpot"; does he also employ this unsavory term? On page 125, Bauer quotes Velikovsky thus from Worlds in Collision: ". .. [I ]nterplanetary electric discharges could also initiate atomic fissions with ensuing radioactivity and emissions of heat." Velikovsky has suggested that transmutation of one element into another can be produced by fusioning induced by planetary electric discharges. This process is discussed in Velikovsky Reconsidered, (New York, 1977), soft cover edition, page 247: On January 28, 1945 ...
332. Kinetic Theory, Gravity, and Critical Fog [Journals] [Aeon]
... mere technician. The source of his greatness was also a tacit invitation to the smallness of average minds posing as his critics. As we shall see, "genuine scientists," a class to which Bauer, Carl Sagan, et al. do not belong, admit that atmospheric physics, the mechanism of gravity, and the role of electricity and magnetism in celestial mechanics are not well understood. For Jeans, Eddington, Feynman, and others among the best, the matter is not closed. Technicians should emulate their modesty. Bauer believes that Velikovsky asserted that the formation of clouds is "incompatible with the law of gravity". When Velikovsky, in Cosmos Without Gravitation, ...
333. De Grazian Discography (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Quantavolution'?. Whilst one might quibble about the linguistic derivation of this neologism, it is impossible not to admire the pioneering spirit that has led him to explore almost all aspects of the catastrophist scenario embodied in that term. The books range through astronomy, biology, geology, psychology, biography and eschatology and, of course, the electric cosmos. Most of them have been reviewed or otherwise acknowledged in SIS publications [1 ]. If I had to single out some personal favourites, I would select 3: The Divine Succession, God's Fire and Cosmic Heretics. In the first, de Grazia examines the origin of religion - still humanity's dominant motivating force. At times ...
334. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... through which he attempted to account for Saturn's flare-up. According to Juergens, this primordial nova-like eruption could have occurred if the Saturnian system had been invaded, dismembered, and its parts captured by the interloping Solar one. What Juergens envisioned was this: Not massive enough to have been a thermonuclear star, Saturn could very well have been an electric one, induced to shine through galactic electrification. With a retinue of smaller planets that included the Earth, Saturn could thus have constituted a system independent from the Solar one. The Solar System, to which we did not yet belong, would have consisted of the Sun, Jupiter, and some minor planetary objects. At some point ...
335. Early Historic Man -- Catastrophism and Calendars [Articles]
... rings. It's a beautiful crater, 14 km diameter. In Bombarded Earth you will read not only that catastrophism has occurred by the impacts, but there were also biological effects which were the result of radiation- radium and other lethal radiations which were injected into the atmosphere and which killed quite a number of living species. This shows the electric fields around the new volcano of Surtsey, 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 ...
336. Thoth Vol I, No. 22: August 31, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... 358-1547) Bill Steigerwald Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD (Phone: 301/286-8955) RELEASE: 97-184 SCIENTISTS DISCOVER MASSIVE JET STREAMS FLOWING INSIDE THE SUN Scientists using the joint European Space Agency (ESA)/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft have discovered "jet streams" or "rivers" of hot, electrically charged gas called plasma flowing beneath the surface of the Sun. They also found features similar to trade winds that transport gas beneath the Sun's fiery surface. These new findings will help them understand the famous sunspot cycle and associated increases in solar activity that can affect the Earth with power and communications disruptions. The observations are the latest made ...
337. As Worlds Collide [Journals] [Kronos]
... electromagnetic characteristics of Venus were different in the past, the effects may have been even greater than one would expect from the properties of Venus today.) That such a close approach would disrupt the rotations of the Earth and Venus should not be in dispute. Michelson(6 ) has shown recently that if one assumes for the Earth an electric charge-to-mass ratio equal to that postulated for the Sun by Bailey,(7 ) and for certain magnetic stars by Blackett,(8 ) then the electrical energy of the Earth would be about equal to its rotational energy.(9 ) Removal of some of this charge, or addition to this charge, could significantly alter the rotation ...
338. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... But is Jupiter also too small for exploding? ASTROPHYSICS is a difficult field. If we look around us, we see things that have a beginning, an end, and a purpose. But in the Universe, everything is different. Where is the beginning, where is the end, and where is the purpose? The physics of electrical discharges is also a difficult field for any outsider. I am an electrical engineer, but I still had to read Bruce's letters to Pensée (8 ) and Crew's article in "Nature" (9 ) several times, and think them over for a long time, before I was convinced that this was, at least partly, ...
339. Earthquake Lights (U.S. Geological Survey News Release) [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... least 18 of the 35 sightings are not explained by meteors, twilight, zodiacal light, arcing power lines, or distant lightning. Yasui has also commented on observations of lights during the October 1, 1969, earthquake at Santa Rosa, Calif., which were seen extensively over the Santa Rosa area and described in terms of lightning, electric sparks, Saint Elmo's Fire, fireballs, or meteors. Some people claimed to have heard sounds like explosions. But just how many reports are genuine lights and how many are caused by the effects of the earthquake on manmade objects cannot be determined. Dr. Cinna Lomnitz, a seismologist of the National University of Mexico, who recently ...
340. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an undesirable form of behaviour for any animal evolving among savannah predators. New Scientist have printed a few "anti-" letters, but so far none have been able to refute Morgan's arguments. Jill Abery YHWH by Jerry L. Ziegler Star Publishers, 220 West Pershing Street, Morton, Illinois 61550, USA This dazzling book sparkles with electricity. Its main theme is religious: that Christ represented God 2000 years ago, but 2000 or so years before He was represented by YHWH. Who? It is a secret name, not to be spoken or you may be struck dead. It still is amongst astronomers. Mention it, and you will never have another paper published ...
