... it was formed at the same time as part of an epochal event whose negatively exponential tailing-off was temporally brief. The fact that the continental blocks move at a distinctively different, lower depth in the mantle has less to do with their "greater weight" (relative to the oceanic crust) than with the historical fact of their quite different genesis. Quantavolutionary theory explains the occurrence of earthquakes along the global fault system, even where no trenches are subducting. And the convection cell theory is susceptible to challenge simply on the basis of insufficient energy, while the theory of plate tectonics as a whole does not pass a number of tests. Regarding the first point, earthquakes have long ...

... much less to cast them over the continents. A great many fossil deposits are assigned old ages. The horrified fish of the Old Red Sandstone referred to earlier are Devonian and given hundreds of millions of years. The theory of this book has been tending toward confining biosphere catastrophes to the nearby ages and to an early period of "radiant genesis," defined in Solaria Binaria, with a stable intervening period. Either the ancient assignments will have to be re-timed or we shall have to give up this notion of a long period of Pangean stability during which quantavolutions were in abeyance. (See, e.g . the time charts following the text.) We cannot conclude ...

... itself - the laughing at the discomfiture of Ares and Aphrodite, at the insulted dignity of the insultable Hephaestus, and at the desirability of committing the same crime if one could (spoken in the very presence of the injured party) - this falls readily into the category of sadistic and savage humor. Except that we do not understand the genesis of humor very well yet. Two major contributors to the theory of humor are Sigmund Freud and Arthur Koestler. Freud's Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious explains a joke as the subconscious prevention of a wish from completing its natural aim. For that aim is tabooed or aggressively hostile or tragic. Hence the mind switches onto a parallel ...

... stars above magnitude 18. Almost all of these stars show some distinguishing characteristic. The majority are binary, another has nebulous spectrum lines. These stars are positioned about the solar antapex in Figure 5. All could reflect plausible conditions for the early stages of Solaria Binaria's Period of Pangean Stability, and possibly also for the earlier Period of Radiant Genesis which followed the binary's creation. At the limit of our proposed time (about one million years before present) using the Atlas of the Selected Areas (Vehrenberg) we count about 39 stars brighter than magnitude 12.5 in a target zone 40 by 40 arc-minutes adjacent to the Sun's antapex. Unfortunately no distances are given for the ...

He has been continuing work on his historical revision and is writing a follow up to his recent book The Genesis of Israel and Egypt. He accepted Velikovsky's Ages in Chaossynchronisms: Thutmose III was Shishak and Hatshepsut was the Queen of Sheba. Emmett is aiming to bring together the best of Velikovsky and Heinsohn to synthesise the real' history. He agreed with Heinsohn that Dynasty 18 must be brought down to the 7th century BC and accepted that this ...
