... becoming accepted that disasters have befallen the planet. What goes on on this planet is no longer confined to just this planet, we can be affected by other bodies. It's quite surprising they've come round to that. I referred earlier to Lyell's centenary. Many years ago I came across a paper by George Grinell giving the background to the evolution of Lyell's Uniformity Theory. Quite an eye-opener it was, almost a political thing. How many people know when the last catastrophe was? [Audience interjections, including "5 million years ago" and, in Canadian, "the British elections of 1992": much hilarity]. I'd agree with that. I discovered many years ...
812. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... catastrophe, has at last given the answer that so many have sought. We now have the cause of the catastrophes. Because this is such an essential element, in the original submission of the paper on Geomagnetic Reversals (or rather Geographic Reversals) to the Institute of Physics, I considered it necessary to provide an outline explanation of the evolution of the Solar System wherein such events would occur. That part of the paper was not accepted by the referees for two reasons. One was that, at the time of submission, the idea was thought to be too far-fetched (one referee called it "fantasy"); the other was that the idea was considered to be ...
813. Response to Bimson [Journals] [SIS Review]
... was decreed to mark the decline and transformation of the formerly splendid culture. On the other hand another variety of inexpensive pottery, often characterised by concentric circle designs produced by the compass (as opposed to the hand-done spirals of Mycenaean/Minoan work), was designated as Proto-Geometric. It will be apparent then that the whole concept of an evolution from Mycenaean to Geometric, as well as the existence of so-called transitional forms, is something which has been forced upon historians by the Sothically dated Egyptian chronology. Thus, for me, terms such as sub-Mycenaean and Proto-Geometric' have little or no chronological significance at all. These are cheap forms of functional pottery produced largely for export over ...
814. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... system controlled by physical forces governed by unchanging mathematical laws. The theory of relativity was consistent with this, but from the advent of quantum mechanics and the new evolutionary cosmology, physicists have begun to realise that the laws of nature may not be eternal after all. Biologists have long accepted that organisms evolve, but have always insisted that biological evolution takes place by processes involving eternal laws. In particular, it is generally thought that certain genetic mutations convey survival and/or reproductive advantages, so these become established in populations by natural selection. However, the precise links between the characteristics of the whole organism and those of the genetic material are still far from being established, and ...

... book and presented his synthesis in 1931. Before Zolotaryov, the Tamil (Dravidian) legends and the many ancient commentators had impressed others. Thomas Huxley, the apostle of Darwinism, wrote that mankind had originated on the now sunken continent, Lemuria. Frederick Engels, the intimate cohort of Karl Marx, and a believer in Darwin's theory of evolution, wrote that a "particularly highly developed race of anthropoid apes lived somewhere in the tropical zone - probably on a great continent that has now sunk to the bottom of the Indian Ocean." Ernst Haeckel, German biologist, named the proto-human "pithecanthropus," and assigned its origins to Lemuria; he said it migrated from there ...

818. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Earth and all other planets would have suffered damage in varying degrees at the times claimed in our analysis. COMPLETION OF THE TRANSFORMATION As long ago as 1952, Otto Struve described a fast-moving series of events occurring in the Pleides star-cluster, particularly, Pleione. With unconscious irony, the article was called, "Pleione- A Story of Cosmic Evolution."[33] By 1905, this star had been observed to lose mass, by minor fissions perhaps. It maintained a very fast rotation, 100 times the rotational speed of the Sun. Then in 1938, Pleione acquired a ring. In 1952, gaseous atoms began to flow with increasing spread outward from the photosphere and ...
819. Meteorite Impacts of Geological Significance: A Human Perspective [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "homogeneous" primordial planet into one with a complex metallic core and silicate mantle, and (9 ) regression and transgression of the seas as the hydrosphere and lithosphere respond differently to a newly imposed axis and speed of rotation. Then (10) all of the preceding include variously severe disturbances of the biosphere that will be strong determinants of evolution at all levels, even with the very beginning of life. The precursors of the human stock had their origins somewhat over 25 million years ago.[24] Closer to modern man are four major fossil groups (from Australopithecus to Cro-Magnon) covering the span of about 3-5 million to about 30-50 thousand years ago.[25] ...
820. Ashton's Bedrock of Myth (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... hidden behind Saturn is Talbott's contention, which contention is not shared by myself and other so-called Saturnists. [110] Additionally, I have no idea where Ellenberger obtains his quoted 2000 BCE as the date of the "transition" from the former Saturnian configuration "to the present Solar System." Then, too, his intimation that the evolution of the Saturnian configuration follows "the Greek divine succession"- Ouranos-Kronos-Zeus-Ares- is in-correct. The evolution we Saturnists follow, at least in the manner in which the events were apparent from Earth, should correctly be stated as Ouranos/Kronos-Venus-Mars. Not that any of these clarifications are going to make the Saturnian scenario any more palatable to ...
