412. Indra and Brhaspati (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the ruling Roman god, Jupiter. If there is still any doubt left on the method used by Pathak, let us turn to another entry in the same dictionary (p . 617): "Pole . . . n. the two extreme points of the globe, the two opposite points of a magnet, a termination of an electric cell, a long slender piece of wood, a wooden shaft, length of 5 1/2 yds., an inhabitant of Poland." This is then followed by the Hindi equivalents of all these different meanings of the English word "Pole". I have no wish to saddle Ashton with the belief that, in India ...
413. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been displaced and rafted to new locations. Much of the reasoning employed in the case of coral growth here may also be used to argue the case of limestone caves and their stalactites. That is, subject to discussion in a forthcoming volume, the limestone caves of the world may be taken to be largely new, a product of large-scale electrical discharge of the Earth, water-accelerated. Arguments may be advanced farther, to wit, that the drip-formed stalactites and stalagmites can be grown in short times under non-uniformitarian conditions and yet be strong enough to stand against heavy seismic shock [29]. RADIODATING William Thomson (Lord Kelvin, 1824-1907) estimated in 1899 that the Earth might be ...
414. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , packed with chapters by experts in every field. The following are available from Kronia Communications, Inc., 9350 SW Greenway, 24, Beaverton, OR 97008, USA. at $24.95 each. They are spiral bound books of the pictures and accompanying text from important slide presentations at Portland, Oregon in 1997. The Electric Universe by Wallace Thornhill For anyone dissatisfied with orthodox views of a gravity dominated universe, this is essential reading, its interdisciplinary research presenting a picture of an electric universe within which the catastrophic events described in myth can be explained. Thornhill covers an amazing range of phenomena from plasma physics to mythical symbols and presents convincing electrical explanations for observed ...
415. NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ...15..293Z Laboratory Experiments on Electrostatic Discharging in Martian Dust Devils and Dust Storms C. E. Krauss, M. Horányi and S. Robertson in American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2002, abstract #P51A-0338. Due to the prevalence of Martian dust devils and dust storms, an understanding of the underlying physics of electrical discharges occurring in Martian dust is critical to future Mars exploratory missions. When dust particles come into contact, charge can be transferred between the grains. Wind driven dust studies (Weather, 1969) show that in the case of particles with identical compositions, the particle with the larger radius in a collision preferentially becomes positively charged. The ...
416. The Magnetic Field of Jupiter and the Volcanism and Rotation of the Galilean Satellites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the rocky satellites (the icy' volcanism will be considered elsewhere). Most of the outer planets' satellites are located in the planetary magnetospheres. Io is unique: its interaction with the magnetosphere leads to radiation of ~108 W in the decametric band(10). The radiation is believed to be caused by unipolar generation of the electric current due to Io's movement across the jovian magnetic field(10-12). The current flows from Io in Jupiter's plasmasphere along the magnetic force tubes down to the highest, weakly conducting ionospheric layers of the jovian atmosphere, just where the radiation is generated. The energy released by Io's interaction with Jupiter's field, has been predicted as, ...
417. Shamir [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Such a pattern would be so odd' that it would be difficult to support from either a uniformitarian or catastrophist perspective. The alternative suggestion that lightning bolts of cosmic intensity created shamir from some of Earth's surface material in situ is probably even more speculative, notwithstanding its better fit with Jewish legends. Ignoring for a moment whether and how massive electrical discharges could transform terrestrial material, the feasibility and intensity of any discharge mediated by a cosmic event such as a meteor shower or grazing comet would depend upon the distance and potential difference between the cosmic visitor and Earth and the electrical characteristics of the environment between them. The variability provided by these factors is amply sufficient to accommodate the oddity ...
418. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... that seemed to link them and Earth together. This was the polar column, variously referred to in myths as the axis mundi, or World Tree. [5 ] Its exact scientific nature is unknown but current theorists claim it may have been a huge tornado-like structure, a Rankine vortex (especially between Mars and the Earth) or entwined electrical structures of sustained Birkeland currents (especially between Mars, Venus, and Saturn). A Rankine vortex, as elucidated by Frederic Jueneman, [6 ] may have stretched between Earth and a north polar-positioned Mars. Developed from the "synchronous rotation and mutual attraction of the pair," various forces would have combined to produce an enormous ...
419. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... , four hundred times more massive? --and Lyttleton's work gives some idea; or how could Venus be so much heavier per unit of volume than Jupiter? --either it was expelled from inner parts of the giant planet, or gases like hydrogen entered into chemical compounds of higher molecular weight. (4 ) In Worlds in Collision I suggested that electrical discharges in the atmosphere of ammonia and methane in which Jupiter is rich, would produce hydrocarbons of heavy molecular weight- an experiment successfully performed ten years later by A. T. Wilson. Further, I envisaged fusion of elements- like oxygen to sulphur- in interplanetary discharges. Orbiter and Surveyor probes of the Moon were followed by Apollo probes; ...
420. Obituary: Melvin Cook (1911-2000) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... who was also a Mormon and a creationist come into contact with the SIS? The late Ralph Juergens credited Cook as the first to draw attention to the fact that the Sun's wrong way' thermal gradient points to an external power source [1 , 2] and Cook was a major contributor to a discussion in Pense on the role of electricity in the cosmos [3 ]. Then at the SIS 1978 Glasgow Conference, Robert Bass devoted a large part of his lecture to Cook's electrical theory of gravity, which is a sophisticated idea based on the cohesion or negative pressure which is found in plasmas and yields a number of fundamental and interesting predictions [4 , 5]. ...
