... fashion. The direction of spin in inertial space would not be changed much by the application of the torque, but the Earth's geographic north and south poles would exchange places on the inertial spin axis. Relative to the Earth's surface, the direction of spin would have changed. Because of the interest in Warlow's hypothesis among proponents of a catastrophic evolution of the Earth, a detailed examination of the inversion dynamics has been performed. Three dynamical assumptions underlie his hypothesis, as follows. (i ) The Earth may be treated as a perfectly rigid body. (ii) The laws of Newtonian mechanics may be applied to the problem; specifically, Euler's dynamical (differential) equations hold ...
622. ... in future issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from Professor Robert Hewsen, Director of the Center for Velikovskian and Interdisciplinary Studies, Glassboro College, New Jersey, with responses from other scholars. Dr Trevor Palmer, Senior Lecturer in biochemistry at Trent Polytechnic, Britain, and an authority in the field of mutational change, reviews the growing weight of evidence from many disciplines for patterns of catastrophic evolution. The Exodus - a debate on the parallels adduced by Velikovsky between the biblical account of the Plagues of Egypt and the Papyrus Ipuwer. Bob Forrest, a major critic of Velikovsky's use of source material, presents a case against Velikovsky's identifications, followed by responses from other scholars. A report on new archaeological work in Israel that appears ...
623. Drayson's hypothesis: the Earth's tilt cycle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to in the literature dealing with shifts of the Earth's axis. This neglect is unfortunate because Drayson's main hypothesis is simple and elegant, if flawed, and is an important side development in the history of ideas about variations in the tilt of the Earth's axis. The aim of the present paper is to outline Drayson's ideas and to trace their evolution into the twentieth century. It is important at the outset to state that Drayson actually proposed two hypotheses. The first hypothesis had virtually no impact on the geological community. It sank without trace soon after its publication in 1859. The second hypothesis was taken half seriously, despite astronomers believing it to be flawed, and survived into the ...
624. C&C Review 1991 Issue (Volume XIII): Contents [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 35 Examines the difficulties caused even for conventional historians by the application of calibrated radiocarbon dates. Alasdair Beal: A Bit Creaky? - Tree-Rings, Radiocarbon and Ancient History 38 In another critical examination of the statistics and methodology of the dendrochronologists, Alasdair Beal argues for an interdisciplinary approach to the problems of absolute dating. Forum 1: The SIS Evolution Debate Continued 43 Forum 2: Some New Chronology' Issues 49 Review: The Cosmic Winter reviewed by Dick Atkinson 51 Two of the world's leading neo-catastrophists, Victor Clube and Bill Napier have written a stimulating book, The Cosmic Winter, which argues that History is littered with catastrophe events. The super-comet which began the modern sequence may still ...
625. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Troy VIIb. Only a significant reduction of the date of the end of Troy VIIb seems likely to resolve this impasse. The book's structure has been intelligently planned to lead the reader through the mass of material from diverse sources and geographical areas to the inescapable conclusion that the conventional chronology is deeply flawed. After an introductory chapter on the evolution of Old World chronology, it deals first with the Western and Central Mediterranean, taking in Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, the Aeolian Islands, Malta and southern Spain (Tartessos). In all these places there are gaps in the archaeological record of prehistoric cultures between the 13th century, when there were trading and cultural links with the ...
626. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna Bernard Newgrosh Introduction The latter end of the 3rd millennium BC saw the production of some extraordinary literature. The invention of writing had taken place maybe several hundred years earlier but already the Sumerian and Egyptian languages were replete with metaphor, a rapid evolution which testifies to the powers of observation of our ancestors and to the richness of their experience. However, much of the literature of the time (certainly that portion thought of as myth') is so unusual in content and so different from modern understanding that scholars are wont to regard it as fantasy', having little or no ...

... the SIS has always assessed Velikovsky's contributions in an impartial manner, sometimes critically but generally constructively. In some fields, SIS contributors have developed his work several stages further and Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop is intended to provide a forum for this continuing debate in the related subjects of revised chronologies, Biblical studies, mythology, astronomy, catastrophist geology and evolution. In its aim of increasing the possibilities for the exchange of ideas and information within the Society's membership, Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop can be of great value for relaying snippets of information, members' opinions, reviews of relevant news and articles and in general for keeping members informed of anything which is going on and likely to be of ...

630. The Oera Linda book [Journals] [SIS Review]
... phoney by the Victorian experts, I believe it to be of interest but stop short of giving it scriptural status, as Scrutton seems to do. This is our earliest history. Wr-alda, who alone is eternal and good, made the beginning. Then commenced time', over which all things appeared. The Frisian beginning was more an evolution, like the Greek appearance of all things from Chaos, then an actual Creation and Wr-alda, a form of Brahma, which would be expected considering the racial identity of the Frisians, Greeks and Aryans. The earth, Irtha (Nerthus, the earth-mother Tacitus said was worshipped in first century Denmark) brought forth all good things by ...
