... Johannesburg. This fascinating book is a long history of Mutwa's tribe; after a wonderful poem on "The Tree of Life", a sort of Genesis myth, the first part contains the story of the "first red people". In the African tradition related by Mutwa, the "First Red Race" - the Amarire - became extinct after their crippled tyrant created "living metal locusts" (Spacecraft) and sent them into space to capture Ninavanhoe-Ma, the Mother of Creation and wife of the "Tree of Life". The latter then appeared in the main square of their floating capital, causing the people's flesh to fall rotting from their bones (by radiation? ...

314. On Saturn And The Flood [Journals] [Kronos]
... of extraneous origin; being a very active element, it could possibly be present in some different combination on Saturn. The effects of nearby supernovae on the biosphere have been the object of intensive study by geologists in recent years,(14) in an attempt to account for abrupt changes in the history of life on this planet. Sudden extinctions were followed by the appearance of new species, quite different from those preceding them in the stratigraphic record. In a relatively brief interval whole genera were annihilated, giving way to new creatures of radically different aspect, having little in common with the earlier forms they replaced.(15) Thus, over the past two or three decades ...
315. Catastrophe, Collective Trauma, and the Origin of Civilization [Articles]
... levels rose by some 300 feet over the course of centuries. Hundreds of species were extinguished, including (in America alone) the camel, mastodon, mammoth, ground sloth, giant peccary and giant beaver, dire wolf, short-faced bear, mountain deer, and saber-toothed cat. Some paleontologists believe that human beings hastened a few of these extinctions through overhunting. Also, the Earth's magnetic field has apparently reversed its polarity some 20 times during the past 4 million years-most recently, about 12,500 years ago in the so-called Gothenburg flip. There seems to be some correlation between extinction episodes, climate change, and geomagnetic reversals. It is not clear whether climate fluctuation causes field ...

... been many signs that radiation was involved, just as if it were a nuclear explosion. Details of destruction New Scientist 14.1 .95, p. 36 and 4.2 .95, p. 36 and the Memphis Commercial Appeal 29.12.94 It seems to be well accepted now that the dinosaur and other mass extinctions were caused by agents from outer space but scenarios of the final details of their demise continue to pour from the pens of converted scientists. Deciding that most of the original impact ejecta would have settled within 6 months, too soon to have chilled the world sufficiently, one team have decided that vaporised sulphur from the bedrocks would have formed ...
317. Falling Dust and Stone [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . The tektite falls have been associated by Billy Glass and others with magnetic reversals and faunal changes [29]. A syllogism emerges: a heavy-body impact explodes tektites high into the sky; it causes reversal of the Earth's magnetic field; as the EMF hits zero point, cosmic particles, ordinarily deflected, pour down and cause mutations and extinction. Contrasting with this theory are opinions such as Lyttletons's that tektites fell from a passing comet train. However, Urey and Spencer argue that they reflect a splash from a cometary or meteoroid impact on the Earth. Moreover E.A . King: "the answer is now clear: tektites are produced from extraterrestrial rocks melted by hypervelocity ...
318. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... insufferable conditions for flora and fauna of the continents, with magnetic disturbances, a rise in temperature of 8 degrees centigrade, flash-heating of the atmosphere at the explosive moment, difficulty in photogenesis, and starvation. The mixing of C/T fossils above the boundary for two meters led to an unresolved question as to whether bioturbation or a prolonged extinction process was proceeding after the extincting event. There was only a film of sedimentary clay to work with at the boundary. Above lies core material ending with lower Eocene fossilized ooze at the surface: thus, most of the Cenozoic or recent period is unrepresented. Basalt is first struck at 280 m subbottom depth, below which it alternates ...
319. Magnetic Models of the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... the other planets of the configuration. To acquire this moment Earth and the other planets must have had extended atmospheres whose interactions with the circumhelial gas cloud generated their gravity-opposing magnetic moments. (15) Such a terrestrial atmosphere could have come only from the gas cloud by accretion. Outgassing from Earth's interior on such a scale would have caused mass extinctions of living species including Homo sapiens. On the other hand the existence of the cloud could only have led to such accretion. Further, a hydrogen-dominated accretion is the only kind that since the Golden Age could have been dissipated, leaving the present atmospheres of Earth and Mars and the null atmosphere of Luna. Fig. 6. Schematic ...
320. Solar System Studies (Part 2) [Journals] [Aeon]
... few millennia or it would have been blown away long ago by the Solar Wind. Earth geology over the last 600 million years indicates there were a number of paleobiotic eras of different lengths with all but the present era lasting for tens of millions of years. The interfacing of eras was punctuated by widespread changes to biota, such as mass extinctions and appearance of radically new genera. The Earth's tectonics also underwent vast changes between eras, including fossilization of biota, formation of vast coal deposits, changed distribution of land and ocean and mountain building. During these long eras of stable biota the normal uniformitarian agents such as freezing and thawing and erosion by wind and water wore down coasts ...
