... solution of (for instance) limestones. Their resolution brings about a collapse of the ground which results h the formation of a crater. Sink-holes are easily recognisable by the absence of outward dip in geological layers. Moreover, sinkholes have no rims above the surrounding ground. Some craters, which may easily be confused with meteoritic features, are extinct volcanoes of which the greater part of the cone has collapsed into the `magma chamber' (calderas). Some geophysicists, studying the energies necessary to produce large volcanic explosion craters, arrived at the conclusion that the strength of the sedimentary lay's, sealing off the fissures, was not sufficient to allow the building up to pressures able ...
412. Thoth Vol II, No. 6: March 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... switch to a new way of seeing is needed: not just a new paradigm for certain disciplines, but an interdisciplinary unifying paradigm. Like the "gestalt switch", where you see a duck in the lines you previously saw as a rabbit, a paradigm shift changes perception. But this time the requisite switch will result in the mass extinction of the big conceptual populations of the present universe and a re-population with entirely new species. For example, the domain of validity of the familiar universal gravitation (F =GMmr^ -2) has shrunk to the confines of the solar system. Stars in the Milky Way more nearly obey F=GMmr^ -1. And ...
413. Thoth Vol III, No. 16: Dec 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . . . . . . . . by Wal Thornhill- CLOSING THE GAP By Amy Acheson When Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision was published, in 1950, the mention of catastrophism in any form was anathema to science. Ideas have changed rapidly since then. Plate tectonics and the Spokane floods have crept into geology. Punctuated equilibrium and mass extinctions by asteroid impact have become fashionable. It's no longer beyond the scope of science to see the destruction of Atlantis in a Mediterranean volcano or Noah's deluge in the sudden filling of the Black Sea. A fast-growing contingent of astronomers are concerned with the perils of Earth- crossing asteroids. Galactic collisions and pole flips, albeit billions-of-years-ago, are ...
414. Comets, Meteorites and Earth History [Articles]
... Baker: London, 1964), where he put forward a detailed and convincing case for the importance of meteorite impacts in Earth history. In many respects his conclusions closely approach those of Dr Velikovsky, whose works receive several favourable mentions in Gallant's book. Gallant argued that the impact of giant meteorites had periodically devastated the globe, causing mass extinctions, major climatic changes, slipping of the Earth's crust, geomagnetic reversals and shifts in the polar axis. Unlike many "neocatastrophists" working in the field of geology, Gallant did not only propose such catastrophes in the remote past; he considered the literary evidence of ancient cultures, including the "Papyrus Ipuwer", as evidence of ...

... are some points of agreement and as many of disagreement. The main one among the latter is that while Price is opposed to the very theory of evolution and is supported in his disbelief by the fact that since the scientific age no new animal species have been observed to emerge, I offer in the concluding chapters of this book (" Extinction" and "Cataclysmic Evolution") a radical solution of the problem. With Professor Richardson of the Illinois Institute of Technology I spent several days discussing a few problems in physics and geophysics. With no one do I share the responsibility for my work; to everyone who gave me a helpful hand while the atmosphere in academic circles was ...
417. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... Antony's, and I am interested to see if this corresponds with any data that Mars was darkened and expelled before Venus. In any case, her death, like Antony's, is described as a loss of brilliance and an explosion accompanied by loud noise and the breaking of surfaces. Just before her death, she refers to herself as almost extinct, although ready to flare up if provoked again. Prithee go hence, Or I shall show the cinders of my spirits Through th' ashes of my chance. 5.2 .172 - 174. As she prepares for her suicide, her handmaiden again emphasizes the loss of brilliance. Finish, good lady, the bright day ...
418. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... impacting Earth. Our planet can comfortably absorb little objects- smaller than a bread box. But, as such bolides increase in size and mass, the destruction coefficient increases geometrically. The block-sized Tunguska meteoroid of 1908 would have blown away a city. A mountain-sized Chicxulub could recreate the Cretaceous event. Anything larger would indeed be Armageddon and total extinction. I hesitate to close on a critical observation, but Hancock's "Endnotes" have several footnote reference errors, apparently fallout errata in the rush to publish a tome in which more than one author contributed. Perhaps this will be corrected in future editions, although it also appears that the lifelines of most books these days are more foreshortened ...

... puma-like cat are in this assemblage. Animals that live in areas of plentiful water supply-beaver and muskrat and mink-are found in the Cumberland cavern jumbled together with animals of and regions coyote and badger-and those of wooded regions together with animals of open terrain, like the horse and the hare. This is truly "a peculiar assemblage of animals." Extinct animals are found there intermingled with extant forms. Death came to all of them at the same time. Any theory that attempts to explain the presence of animal bones from various climates in one and the same locality by a sequence of glacial and inter-glacial periods must stumble on the bones of the Cumberland cavern. Notes. 1. J ...
420. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... or from north-north-east to south-south-west, as at present is the direction of the Ecliptic Pole, so at one time that part of the earth was the position of the then North Pole. By a series of huge dumpings or deposits, by means of tremendous impacts, was age after age built up, and by the linear direction of volcanoes extinct or alive can a prior period of the world's history be identified. Such is the theory advanced. It is shown how these meteor deposits, volcanoes, gradually cool and die out like a fire unless they are renovated by other meteor impacts which may strengthen and increase them as is the case with many volcanoes. An active volcano, ...
