842. Galactic Space Charge and Stellar Energy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and especially dust particles within the expanding region, finding themselves exposed to a negative space potential, might seize all available electrons and thus immobilise them. This would tend to steepen the voltage gradient and stop the flight of the protons sooner than otherwise. Some such sequence of events, given an initial cluster of stellar discharges, would explain galactic evolution in the direction first postulated by Hubble (23), then abandoned by most astrophysicists, but advocated consistently by Bruce (11); that is, from the elliptical to the spiral forms. The electric field built by an expanding halo of positive ions would eventually break down, with the resultant formation of spiral discharge arms (10 ...
843. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... upset the world some six or seven thousand years ago and constituted the continents in their actual state." ** * Abbé Brasseur de Bombourg's "Popol-Vuh." ** " Quatre Lettres sur le Mexique." EFFECT OF DRIFT INSTANTANEOUS 180. The comet's impact- the Drift- was instantaneous in its effects. Over the vast area affected the evolution of animal and vegetable life was suddenly arrested. Certain species were totally exterminated either by being rained on, or by shock, or by exhaustion of air, or by submersion, or, as in Siberia, by sudden glaciation. It descended on mountains and they were no more; it appeared to burn up the very ocean; ...
844. The Unworkable Polar Saturn [Journals] [Aeon]
... for Saturn continually lights the spaceward side, and the Sun the sunward side. There is thus no ecological possibility for owls, bats, moths, and a vast assemblage of the nocturnal creatures such as centipedes which sunlight or even room light kill, and also nocturnal flowering plants. The ecological adjustments of these forms of life long antedate human evolution, let alone human mythical tradition, in all of which there is no place for the bizarre situation of the model. Outlandish though it has transpired to be, this model is essentially what the spectroscopist Earl Milton proposed as his own version of the Earth's Saturnian situation, in private conversation with me at the Velikovskian seminar at San Jose ...

... to adopt a neo-catastrophist attitude to the fossil record" (page 19). However, he hastens to explain: "In case this book should be read by some fundamentalist searching for straws to prop up his prejudices, let me state categorically that all my experience (such as it is) has led me to an unqualified acceptance of evolution by natural selection as a sufficient explanation for what I have seen in the fossil record. I find divine creation, or several such creations, a completely unnecessary hypothesis". What Ager is saying is that rates of geological processes have varied significantly through time and that "most evolution proceeds by sudden short steps or quanta". This ...
846. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... use of the mulch and the pruner, but that the latter was usually more in evidence than the former. Among other points raised during this session was the possible effect on the development of religion of early catastrophes, and a questioner suggested that they may have resulted in the change from the worship of female to male divinities and in the evolution of societies from matriarchy to patriarchy. Mr Moore also referred to the new translation of the Pyramid Texts which Dr William Mullen is reported to have undertaken in America. Because of the preconceptions on the part of previous translators, he felt, there had been a tendency to shy away from catastrophic interpretations of ancient texts with an astral content ...
847. The Flood [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... clear traces and would have raised the ground water level immediately. Over hundreds of years, the ground water level would fall. This has been documented. In 1988, Joseph Davidovits and Margie Morris reported the following: Geological studies of the Sphinx have kindled more than debate over [its] attribution and age. The established history of the evolution of civilisation has been 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 responsible ...
848. Stephen J. Gould And Immanuel Velikovsky: Essays In The Continuing Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to be learned from Bauer appears in two papers by Ginenthal and Wolfe. Ginenthal remarks that even Martin Gardner, who is certainly no friend to Velikovsky, accuses Bauer of using just the same tactics of vilification of which he accuses others when dealing with him. Ginenthal points out that Bauer accuses Velikovsky of suggesting that mutation and the theory of evolution are mutually contradictory; which he certainly did not. And Wolfe draws some singular conclusions from Bauer's ideal of the scientist; and pertinently asks the following question. If the public is not qualified to think for itself because its beliefs are unreasonable, and if scientists cannot because of the barriers between disciplines, and even between branches of a ...
849. Stars, Galaxies and Electro-Gravitic Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... , in Ap magnetic stars, the gravitational forces will be in competition with the dipole moment's magnetic force, in order to form a close binary system. There is also another phenomenon observed with magnetic stars. "The distribution of the obliquity angles (of the magnetic axes) appears to be random. . .but becomes increasingly bimodal as evolution proceeds." Therefore, as the star ages, the magnetic axis will move to align itself with the rotational axis. The magnetic axes of stars with the strongest magnetic fields will, based on this data, be found nearer to the rotational equator because that is where the dipole moments will tend to be situated. Thus any star ...
850. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Forget about Krakatoa. In 181 AD the world's most violent volcanic explosion over the last 5,000 years took place on the North Island of New Zealand at the site of what is now the huge Lake Taupo. Its effects were seen as far away as China and Europe. Ash and rock were expelled at speeds approaching 900 kph. EVOLUTION Rapid and Recent Evolutionary Effects (New Scientist. 9.8 .03. p. 14; 6.9 .03. p. 10) Diet in one generation can affect not only immediate offspring but its effects can be passed on to subsequent generations by a strange form of inheritance known as epigenetics. This was observed in ...
