... the hypothesized configuration as seen from Earth, together with a few prehistoric rock art images from Ireland and California. The pictographs, inscribed on stone, illustrate the relationship we intend to document, between planetary forms seen in the sky, the patterns of world mythology, and verifiable formations of plasma activity in the laboratory. It was the dynamic evolution of this planetary assembly, we shall contend, that inspired the mythical histories of the gods. Dave Talbott EDITOR'S NOTE The Intersect 2001 conference- "Electricity, Cosmology, and Human History"- will include the first public presentation of this story, with new animation and other visual support. NEXT DIVINE THUNDERBOLT, GREAT CONJUNCTION, AND ...
852. Still Facing Many Problems (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... to that of the gas giant planets, such as Jupiter [New Scientist, 23 June 1983, p. 856; see also K. Sakurai, op. cit., p. 258] . Another solution to the neutrino problem was proposed recently. Observations of Pleiades stars indicate they are rotating much faster than current theory of stellar evolution allows. It is proposed that, as stars age, the surface rotation rate decreases, but the core maintains a faster spin rate. With a rapidly spinning core, the outer layers would be held up by the core's strong centrifugal force and the core's density would be less than in the standard model. The lower density in the ...
853. Thoth Vol IV, No 10: June 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , since I've already stuck my neck out by claiming that, when it comes to the landscape of myths and symbols, all roads lead to the polar configuration. Amy, you're right about the ancient labyrinth and its connection to superstitions regarding entrails and fate. And yes, the labyrinthine "intestines" do have a logical place in the evolution of the polar configuration. The image relates to a rather complex phase, involving the transition from Saturnian to Jovian sovereignty. Here we also meet the terrible goddess (Venus) in her "entangling" aspect, and the legendary perils confronted by the Martian hero. As I've noted previously, I find it difficult to discuss these later ...
854. Thoth Vol III, No. 16: Dec 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the primary catalysts for language development was the act of counting. In contrast, I will suggest that the language of numbers possesses such a direct relationship to imagery of an evolving planetary configuration as to entirely discredit the common view. Moreover, once discerned, the original pattern will leap out from our own language today, despite the millennia of evolution and fragmentation which preceded it. Consider these English words and roots, and the five-fold pattern suggested above should become quite obvious to you- The English indefinite article _a _ is a phonetic variant of _an_ derived from the Old English _an_ meaning "one", German _ein_, Latin _unus_, ...
855. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . The question of the controversial nature of the Encyclopedia arose not directly but indirectly. With Charley Smith, the appropriate Macmillan editor, they put together a scenario, a typical setting for the use of the Encyclopedia. A high school girl walks into her school library and asks the Librarian where she can find material for a short theme on evolution. The librarian advises her to consult the Britannica and the Encyclopedia of Quantavolution and Catastrophe. The "Ev" volume of the first is being used by another student, so the girl studies the article on "Evolution" in the new Encyclopedia, writes her paper, gets a failing grade from her teacher, complains, embroils the ...
856. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... ."(87) Velikovsky was of the opinion that the influx of cosmic rays from the Saturnian outburst caused massive mutations, with catastrophic extinctions and the appearance of new life forms.(88) Van Flandern writes that "the connection between man and the explosion may have been passive: extra cosmic radiation reaching Earth may have speeded up evolution, or some natural enemy of the primates may have been killed off".(89) David Talbott has concluded that the Saturnian phenomenon lies at the very root of human advancement and the flowering of civilization .( 90) And Van Flandern asks: "Is it only a coincidence that humanity felt its early stirrings at about the ...
857. Friday Evening Discussion [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 5-7. This approach would mean the tables were developed for the present orbits. Wal Thornhill was asked whether the Electric Universe theory endorsed the Saturnian Configuration. He said not necessarily but it does explain a lot of the visual renditions of the Configuration and the changes in its appearance. It provides a coherent explanation of the stages in the visual evolution of the configuration. It does not require Bob Grubaugh's unlikely model, involving Jupiter as some kind of counter-weight. It provides an explanation for the axial tilts of the Earth, Mars and Saturn, together with the retrograde rotation of Venus. The effective gravitational mass of a planet changes according to the amount of electrical charge removed from or ...
858. Janus: Corrigenda et Addenda [Journals] [Aeon]
... 30) But, after the creation, he is made to declare: " 'Twas then that I, till that time a mere ball, a shapeless lump, assumed the face and members of a god." (31) How this applies to the close terrestrial proximity of the Saturnian sphere and what relation this bears to the evolution of the primeval Saturnian configuration is related in some detail in that very paper which has given birth to these addenda. (32) MATUTINUS PATER Lydus also informs us that Janus was by some considered the father of Aion and, by others, Aion's very self. (33) But Aion, who was a different version of the ...

... the cutting edge of research are unashamedly exhilarated. Recent dramatic events, such as the discovery of planets orbiting other star systems, have given a sense of immediacy to the quest. Beneath these heady developments lies a profound philosophical puzzle. How are we able to make such progress? Why can humble Homo sapiens, a chance product of blind evolution, unravel the secrets of nature so spectacularly well? Most people take the success of science for granted. They assume that as long as the budget is big enough it can answer all questions but science is a very strange activity. Had it not been for some historical accidents, humans might never have stumbled across it at all. ...

... view of a warped disk or ring of dust caught in a blazing torrent of ultraviolet light from a suspected massive black hole. This discovery, which is reported in the September 10 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that the environments around black holes may be more varied than thought previously, and may provide a new link in the evolution of black holes in the centers of galaxies. "This is a completely new phenomenon which has never before been seen. It blew my mind away," says Dr. Philippe Crane of the European Southern Observatory, in Garching, Germany. "Before Hubble you could never do this kind of research. We used a lightly exploited ...
