... also be that the first makers of dial clocks looked only at the travel of the sun across the sky and not at its travel around the zodiac, even though some of the very first dial clocks do appear to have been more concerned with celestial phenomena than with civil hours. Can anybody make good any of the uncertainties in this suggested evolution of the modern clock face from the ancient zodiacal system? It is perhaps worth noting that the first European dial clocks (1450 or thereabouts) had only one hand, and that this was an hour hand; whilst this arrangement bears a certain resemblance to the sun in the zodiac, it should be noted that the sun actually passes ...

... seems to be sparsely populated with chunks of dark material perhaps the size of large boulders, and is at least 8000 kilometres wide. .. . "The finding has shattered the belief that planetary rings are a rare phenomenon. .. . The theory that explained how Saturn's ring could persist through 4.6 billion years of solar system evolution also explained why Saturn was the only planet that could have a ring. Then those theories had to be revised to account for the rings of Uranus. The revisions implied that Jupiter would not have a ring. Now Jupiter has been found to have a ring and we have to invent a theory to explain it, ' Smith chuckled ...

... supporters. A prime example of vindication for Velikovsky in this particular field of endeavour is the increasing evidence of the role played by electromagnetic and electrostatic forces in the solar system. Similarly, in the study of geology, the almost relentless flow of new information has led many scientists, who had hitherto been convinced of a very gradual theory of evolution, to make continual modifications to their model of how it all happened. Now while it may not be true to say that these geologists have forsaken their traditional stance in favour of the out and out catastrophism of an Immanuel Velikovsky, it is nevertheless true to say that expressions such as "punctuated equilibrium" are in increasing evidence. ...

... presents us with useful tables of comparison between the present expected frequency of and destructive energies involved in these and impact catastrophes. He finishes on an optimistic note about warnings and preventions, even to the rather star-wars scenario of blowing up any asteroid which approaches too close to Earth. The book starts with a general account of the supposed formation and evolution of the Earth and it is with the discussion of the formation of the oceans that Rezanov parts company with present western orthodoxy. He rejects the plate tectonic theory of the formation of the Atlantic by the production of new oceanic crust at spreading ridges. Instead he furthers his own views that the basement of continental crust can be hydrothermically altered ...
