... Frontiers No.110, Mar-Apr 1997, p. 2 After all the doubts about the signs of life in Martian meteorites, another Mars rock has been found to contain a lot of organic compounds - but this rock only came from Mars 500,000 years ago and from the other side. Was life both widespread and recent? ELECTROMAGNETISM Electrical pollution New Scientist 25.1 .97, p. 15 Lightning flashes create enormous amounts of nitrogen oxides and these are major greenhouse' gases. Climate could therefore be affected by periods of intense electrical activity in the atmosphere. Earthquake shocks New Scientist 1.3 .97, pp. 34-37 A team of Greek scientists have been ...
382. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... hydrogen in a region where these two gases - the main constituents of Saturn - do not mix. As the denser helium sinks very gradually, its original potential energy changes to heat. Very nice. But it all begs the question of where that helium came from in the first place. What price Velikovsky's original suggestion of fusion effects from electric discharges, made almost 40 years ago (See, for example, "Sodom and Gomorrah" by Immanuel Velikovsky, Kronos 6:4 , p. 53.) Workshop readers will also recall Sergei Vsekhesviatskii's pioneering work on the eruptive origin of comets from the gas giants (discussed in "Father of the Gods" by Martin Sieff ...
383. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the notion that the Wright brothers might have flown in a heavier than air machine - more than two years after the Wright Flyer's first successful flight. It is easy to look at history, with hindsight fully deployed, and crow about the dissidents who were derided but proved brilliantly right - from Copernicus and Galileo to Faraday, Edison and his electric street lights, Marconi and his wireless, Charles Parsons and his steam turbine, the Wright brothers and their aeroplanes, these people were famously right and their eminent detractors were infamously wrong. Milton goes on to study examples where he believes that the prejudices of the scientific establishment have led to potentially valuable ideas and research being wrongly ignored, ...

385. Psychoceramics [Journals] [Aeon]
... one might be induced to say that a truly open mind is pretty vacuous.) The evolution of automotive vehicles over the last century is a classic study in the paradigmatic mindset, where the pressing need for limited transportation resulted in reciprocating internal combustion engines, which won out early in the game over the external combustion steam-powered cars and the upstart electric conveyances. Contemporary technological advances have raised the efficiencies of these also-ran vehicles to new heights, but the perceived costs of retooling- not to mention rethinking- precludes any abrupt paradigmatic shifts to our benefit by many of the new technologies. Altruism, it might be mentioned, has not been a key watchword for progress within the societal economic ...
386. The Ten Points Of Sagan [Journals] [Kronos]
... . How could heavier molecules of hydrocarbon result from methane and ammonia, known constituents of the Jovian atmosphere? I discussed the problem in Worlds in Collision (Section "The Gases of Venus"), where I wrote: "If the petroleum that poured down on the earth on its contact with the comet Venus was formed by means of electrical discharges from hydrogen and gaseous carbon, Venus must still have petroleum because of the discharges that passed, as we assume, between the head and tail of the comet when it was intercepted by the earth and in other celestial contacts." I referred also to the known constituents of the Jovian atmosphere- the gases methane and ammonia- and drew ...
387. One Who Read And One Who Didn't. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... miracle in the Old Testament do you regard as the most unbelievable?" I expected that he would say, "Joshua stopping the sun," but he said, "Elijah being carried away in a chariot of fire." So I had no point. I could have told him something about Elijah, the man of barometric and electric wonders, but there was too much noise. Anyway, I had not received the answer I had tried to elicit. But in that spring of 1946 the time had come, and I gave him the first part of my manuscript. After he had read it, he telephoned me and spoke some very encouraging words. Then I ...
388. Velikovsky: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... and Horberger, Bellamy, and others in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Whiston, in fact, originally had proposed gravitational effects of comets to explain the Flood, parting of the Red Sea, etc., with the whole-hearted support of Sir Isaac Newton himself. When it was shown that gravity was insufficient, he turned to electrical and magnetic forces. Hence, Velikovsky's "interdisciplinary studies" aren't even original. . Many of the arguments against Whiston's hypothesis are still valid and in some cases strengthened by modern observations. They apply to Velikovsky as well. It is clear that gravitational, electrical, and magnetic forces, as they are manifested in the universe at present ...
389. Tuning in to Nature, by Philip S. Callahan (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on the list of these other disciplines is the science of engineering, where the necessity for hands-on, practical assessment of problems often leads to an ability to perceive a new aspect that the establishment pond weed has obscured. One such forgotten book, published over 25 years ago, is Tuning in to Nature by Philip S. Callahan, an electrical engineer cum entomologist who preferred to call himself a generalist' or, as we would term it, an interdisciplinarian. Callahan introduces us to the world of electromagnetism where we are rapidly made to realise that we live perpetually bathed in a sea of energy of which we sense but little. Our limited senses enable us to detect the narrow ...

... of WORKSHOP 3:3 on the moons of Mars and how their craters are thought to have been produced by spallation due to impacts. I also noticed Ian Johnson's speculation in the same issue that not all features thought to be caused by impacts could be explained in that way, and that they could equally be explained by the effects of electrical discharges. It is possible that electrical discharge phenomena took place while Mars passed close to Earth, because of the difference in electrical potential between the two bodies. There are a few lines in WORLDS IN COLLISION (part II chapter V, "The Steeds of Mars") that support this theory. (The satellites) ". ...
