... that the terminal Bronze Age destructions described by Claude Schaeffer, which are distinguished by unusual assemblages of ruins and indications of high-temperature flash heating, can be explained by a succession of Tunguska-like overhead explosions occurring along a 2500 kilometer track in the Near East. Clube and Napier give the following description of what our ancestors may have witnessed: The slow evolution of the cometary orbits ensures that, at a few brief epochs in the past, the orbital tracks of a major comet and Earth intersected. . . . Close encounters with a major, active fragment, over those centuries, must have been spectacular if not terrifying, with the comet nucleus, brighter than Venus, crossing the sky ...
992. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... train of the comet. If from below ground, the vermin, we guess, would have been predicted; if extra-terrestrial in origin, there would have been no precedent for the prediction. It has become scientifically permissible recently to suppose plagues to descend from space via dust, comets, or meteorites, and the search for evidence of organic evolution on meteorites is an acceptable scientific issue [30]. I doubt that the comet had to inject the atmosphere with vermin in order to explain them; there have been ample cases of local fall-outs of fast-breeding and erupting insects. An Italian observer of the Neapolitan earthquake of 1805 had much to say of unusual animal behavior, of which ...

994. The Climate Hypothesis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . The most common argument raised against the climate hypothesis is based on analogy. Since there were many different Ice Ages, there had to have been many climatic extinctions of these large animals when the ice caps disappeared. But contrary to this expectation, Flint states: "Rates of change of Quaternary environments were generally more rapid than rates of evolution in Quaternary organisms. The same faunas may appear repeatedly in successive strata, and their transgression of time is commonly evident."29 The same holds true for flora. According to Bowen, "The fact is that similar constellations of species were repeated several times in the Pleistocene, though not perhaps with the same relative abundance." ...
995. Precursors [Journals] [Kronos]
... much longer than accepted by the geological scientists- in the range of billions of years; and for tens of millions of years human beings have existed and also carried their traditions. The views expressed in "Worlds in Collision, "which hold that the geologic ages must have been much shorter (with all the implications for the theory of evolution), are diametrically opposed to Hoerbiger's theory. In two or three instances where I used a source learned by me from Hoerbiger or Bellamy, his interpreter, I gave the proper credit by indicating book and page.

... period of time there was plentiful rainfall on that civilization. This evidence is clearly observed on the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. This was outlined by Joseph Davidovits and Margie Morris. ". .. geological studies of the sphinx have kindled more than debate over...[its] attribution and age. The established history of the evolution of civilization has seen challenged. "A study of the severe body erosion of the Sphinx and the hollow in which it is situated indicates that the damaging agent was water. A slow erosion occurs in limestone when water is absorbed and reacts with salts in the stone. The controversy arises over the source of the vast amount of water ...

998. Homer in the Baltic [Journals] [Aeon]
... consistency between the Baltic-Scandinavian context and Homer's world, as compared to all the contradictions over which the ancient Greek scholars racked their brains in attempting to locate Homer's geography in the Mediterranean, but also clarifies why the latter was decidedly more archaic than the Mycenaean civilization. Evidently, contact with the refined Mediterranean and Eastern cultures favored the immigrants' rapid evolution, especially when one considers their marked inclination for trade and seafaring which pervades not only the Homeric poems, but the entire Greek mythos. Furthermore, this thesis fits in very well with the strong seafaring characterization of the Mycenaeans. As a matter of fact, archeologists confirm that the latter had been intensely practicing seafaring from their settling in ...

... and refused to significantly modify it to the day he died. He sought collaborators only to confirm, never to modify, his own conclusions. Presenting himself as a victim of scholarly censorship and close mindedness, he tried to impose such censorship and rigidity on his own followers. Instead, let us celebrate the humble virtues of personal change and evolution, adapting one's own ideas to new research, of humility, the ability to listen to others, even from outside our own personal, "charmed circle" of co-workers and acquaintances, and of the virtues of free competition and a free market in ideas. Following such principles, it should take a lot less than another 41 years ...

... however, that a knowledge in the future of the electrotechnics of the heavens would be of great practical value to our electrical engineers. It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. We have assumed that each stellar system in evolutions throws off electric corpuscles into space." Birkeland is right. The "stringy things" that puzzled astronomers are proof positive of an electric current in plasma. Venus-and Jupiter-are part of an electric circuit that involves the Sun. The Sun is part of a circuit that involves the entire galaxy. The Earth with its own Langmuir sheath ( ...
