... earthquakes, volcanism, rising or descending and swelling or shrinking earth masses. "The continent of Atlantis" is still mostly a name for geographical and legendary indications of crustal turbulence; it finally sank in one furious climactic day, so said Plato, after exhibiting the above-mentioned four forms of turbulence, plus continental cleavage, floods, pandemonium and extinction. We shall be criss-crossing as usual among the high energy expressions of nature, watching all the while for exoterrestrial interventions. CHAPTER SIXTEEN Earthquakes The ancients may have been more familiar with earthquakes than modern man: .. . The earth shook and trembled... the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken... ...
... attraction is so powerful as to hold the planet Neptune, although it requires 164 years to complete its orbit, it will also be the medium which draws in comets, as bodies without any orbit, and draws such in as they fall through space. There is a further point of some consideration in this. If a comet be an extinct planet which has lost its place in its own system and, devoid of an orbit, is flying through space at such momentous speed as makes a planet like ours appear to crawl, its headlong career could theoretically only be checked and its momentum directed towards the sun by enormous magnetic pulling power. It is impossible to believe that such ...
553. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , I attended a lecture by a distinguished paleontologist, a good man whose name I do not choose to divulge. The burden of his excellent talk was that, over the last few years, the view had been gaining ground among paleontologists that the geological epochs were punctuated by catastrophes on a global scale. In particular he dwelt on the extinction of the vast majority of all life-forms at the end of the Permian era, and alluded to that of the dinosaurs some sixty-five million years ago. In the questioned period, I `opened my big mouth, ' as they say, in the USA; and asked the speaker if he would comment on the fact that Velikovsky had ...
554. Thoth Vol IV, No. 1: Jan 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , OTHER LIFE . . . . . by Wal Thornhill- SLIP STICKS AND WRONG THEORIES By Mel Acheson A slide rule hangs on the wall of my office, a dual-base vector hyperbolic log-log slide rule. A mere 40 years ago it was a state-of-the-art calculating machine. It reminds me that technology progresses not only by incremental improvements but by extinction and speciation: My aluminum slip-stick was an improvement over the wood one I had before, but the scientific calculator I now use is an entirely different animal. As with technologies, so with theories. The understanding of nature that a theory provides is improved incrementally as the theory is articulated, tested, and revised. The theory's domain ...

He is Editor-in-Chief of The Velikovskian and is currently working on the scientific basis of chronology. Water has profoundly affected the course of human history. Its abundance has helped societies to flourish, its scarcity has caused them to wither. No consideration of history or of the fate of societies, past or present, can ignore its role'. Daniel J.

557. Beyond the Mountains of Darkness. The Search for the Ten Lost Tribes [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VII No. 4 (Summer 1982) "Evolution, Extinction, and Catastrophism" Home | Issue Contents Beyond the Mountains of Darkness. The Search for the Ten Lost Tribes Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright © 1982 by Elisheva Velikovsky Editor's Note: This essay was extracted from Velikovsky's forthcoming book The Assyrian Conquest which is Vol. II of the Ages in Chaos series. It was written between the mid 1950s and mid-60s. A superb book on the Khazars which would serve as an excellent pendant to the present article is Arthur Koestler's The Thirteenth Tribe (N . Y., 1976). - LMG The following short discourse is not a part of the chronological ...
558. Meteorite Impacts of Geological Significance: A Human Perspective [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Earth can provide the substrate for the cause and effects of all manner of geological phenomena. Notable recent examples of such awareness are found in reports[1 ,2 ] making connections between the concentration and distribution of noble metals in Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary clays, the dust and fallout of an asteroidal or large meteorite collision and a severe episode of extinctions of many forms of life at the end of the Cretaceous. In a different but equally global context another example [3 ] considers briefly the changes of the obliquity of the Earth's axis and the speed of rotation, both of which are unavoidably affected by any impact,[4 ,5 ,6 ] in reviewing basic mechanisms of ...
559. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... some major change in the world has come about with exquisite gradualness- the ice ages, new species, the ocean basins- then the opposition might be forced into silence. Just as relentlessly the quantavolutionary stalks among the events of history searching for the one indisputable catastrophe that has introduced a major change in the natural world- a wholesale simultaneous extinction of species, a brush with a large comet, a meteoroidal crash, a deceleration of the Earth, or some similar expression of great effective force. Each must avoid the thrust of the other, even if it is blindly delivered in the course of an "empirical study" whose deadliness to the opposition was not originally intended. ...
560. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Paleolithic age, rock art was primarily devoted to the realistic representation of various forms of wildlife, the latter presumably objects of the hunt and rites of sympathetic magic. (4 ) Especially common are paintings of horses and wisent, the great bison that once roamed the steppes of Europe, although mammoths, woolly Rhinoceroses, and other long extinct fauna also appear. It was during the Neolithic age, apparently, that man began recording his perceptions of celestial phenomena through paintings and petroglyphs (incised images in rock). Not unlike fossilized bones, which provide an objective record against which to check the deductions drawn by paleontologists, rock art represents an objective record of mankind's enduring interest ...
