... the Universe stable and doing away with the need for lambda, the cosmological constant. Einstein now called this his biggest blunder'. However there were still a number of aspects of the Universe that were observed that could not be explained by Einstein's theory. Andy Albrecht and Joao Magueijo's hypothesis that the speed of light has changed over the 15-billion-year evolution of the Universe could explain its stability over that long period. It also suggests, though, that the Big Bang could happen again - indeed that the birth of our Universe was just one Big Bang in an endless, eternal cycle. Dr João Magueijo is with Imperial College, London, Web: http://euclid. ...
662. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... V and VI, like the book of Genesis, deals with the relationship of Earth-Sun-Moon, the year, the seasons, day, night- phenomena resulting from Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth's spin around an inclined axis. The remaining verses, including the exaltation of Marduk and his fifty names in Tablet VII, treat the appearance and evolution of life on Earth and the creation of Man. But these intriguing developments are outside the scope of this article.14 References: 1) This article is based on Communication No. 130 entitled "Enuma elish: Science Not Myth" presented at the 187th Meeting of the American Oriental Society, Cornell University. April 28, 1977 ...
... not yet specifying where that state was to be. Karl Marx, still building on Darwin, as Darwin had built on Newton, changed human history, yet neither he nor those who followed him perceived that in the light of historical materialism and in the uproar of political revolution he and they were emulating the natural revolution, not the natural evolution. The excesses of revolution, and later Stalin's purges, debased human beings, deprived them of the natural rights to freedom of thought, expression and change of habitat, and made them into abject slaves. The several hundreds beheaded on the Place de la Concorde in Paris in the days of the French Revolution were followed in a century ...
... something, happened that was, to those people, super-natural or crazy, and the account we have received was their attempt to cope with the experience, to regain their wits, to reconstitute themselves in the world that had been transformed". This parallel was not drawn by Professor Lifton; he, however, drew parallels with the mental evolution or, rather, mutation in the survivors of the Nazi camps. A major portion of Death in Life deals with "defense-mechanisms against trauma: repression, denial, reaction formation, blotting out...screen memory, scapegoating and alibi-ing, self-hatred in order to avoid the anxiety of abandonment, identification with the power that has harmed ...
... are now known to show with some accuracy the number of days per month and the number of days per year, the former only for inter-tidal coral."33 Thus, according to Sagan, recent coral ring dating should never reflect a 360 day year. Interestingly, Robert H. Dott, Jr. and Roger L. Batten in Evolution of the Earth state the following: "Biologists have observed that modern corals deposit a single, very thin layer of lime once a day. It is possible, with some difficulty, to count these diurnal (day-night) growth lines and to determine how old the coral is in days. More important, seasonal fluctuations will cause the ...

667. Remarks from the Portland Symposium 3-5 Jan 1997 [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... catastrophism" is itself an oversized dinosaur and should be replaced with "catastrophics" was a good one, as we should conceive ourselves less as an ideology and more as a discipline. 7 Jan 1997, Walter Alter It occurred to me that the electrical scarring issue is the ideal focal point of a catastrophist challenge to traditional theories of planetary evolution. I proposed to a group including Thornhill, Clube, Laviolette, and Bass that we single out electrical scarring for a focused, collective challenge to mainstream astronomers. It seems the idea fired the imagination of Bob Bass, who proceeded to tell us how, a few years ago, he and the engineer Robert Golka had produced mega-amperage ...

... into the editor's office. Covering the name of the reviewer, he gave me the piece to read. After telling briefly something of the contents of the manuscript, the receiver went on to say that I could not possibly be right, because I propound catastrophism, and science knows positively that there must have been millions of years of uninterrupted evolution in order to transform the three-digit foot of the ancient horse into the one-digit foot of the modern horse. I asked the editor: "Would you please do me a favor? Promise me that you will preserve this criticism. There will come a day .. ." I went away, the manuscript in my briefcase having been ...

670. Violent Beginnings For Newly Discovered Planets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... in all cases, large eccentricities are induced in the orbits of these...planets, eventually causing them to escape from the system or to collide with the central star." Professor Rasio said the implications of this work are that many, perhaps most, planetary systems that form around other stars may go through a type of dynamical evolution that is far more violent than was ever imagined for our own solar system. In addition, he said, the long-term stability of our solar system may be a result of the presence of one single dominant planet, Jupiter, and the stability may be a necessary condition for the development of intelligent life. "If it really turns ...
