... of the Earth having suffered extraterrestrial encounters has been resisted until lately (Ninniger), Craters from smaller than seven kilometers to seven hundred times that diameter are discernable under various geological formations at widely separated locations in continental North America and elsewhere (Saul). Ancient meteorite craters may be the source of many circular features of the Earth, but ... suspect that the eruption of Super Uranus deluged the Earth with "meteoritic till", vast intrusions of dusty débris. In a short outburst the débris, which in some geologists' minds must have taken millions of years to sift down, might be plunked down upon the lithosphere. Donnelly (1883/1970) argues that vast fields of ...
582. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... was to write an article about the debates at Brown. Velikovsky confronted a panel of four professors: Leon N. Cooper (physics), Bruno J. Giletti (geology), Charles Smiley (astronomy) and Abraham J. Sachs (history of mathematics), moderated by Henry Kucera (linguistics). In the event, Velikovsky ... of which does not exist. (Cf. Pensée IV, p. 22.) In Kronos III:4 , Juergens discussed geomagnetic reversals and geogullibility and claimed that geologists were unjustified in assuming that the fluctuations in the readings from magnetometers that were towed behind ships indicated reversed magnetism on the ocean bottom. Even Juergens' own references, ...
583. On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles [Journals] [Aeon]
... such as Einstein and K.F . Mather. But it meets with so many difficulties that it appears highly controversial. Above all, it is not compatible with other geological theories which are widely accepted today, such as the drift of the continents and related theories. Furthermore the theory does not explain some of the most significant peculiarities of ... inclination of the terrestrial axis in relation to the ecliptic and that the position of the poles might change has been taken into consideration since last century. Some of the greatest geologists of the time, including J.C .Maxwell and Sir George Darwin (son of the famous Charles Darwin), considered this problem and decided that the stabilising ...
584. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... most of the observations, such as the dark' material on the surface of the planet and its moons, the signs of volcanic activity, etc. The signs of geologic activity are a particular puzzle as they require heat: there are various suggestions for the source of this heat but they do not include electrical effects; instead the scientists ... non-linear systems. Reviewer Ian Stewart reckons that scientists of many persuasions are beginning to realise the necessity of taking these ideas into account, but it seems to us that most geologists seem to be lagging behind! The original inspiration for the book was apparently Thom's mathematical catastrophe theory, which itself caused a furore 15 years ago. It sounds a ...
585. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... Deloria exposes glaring anomalies in evolutionary theory, conventional dating techniques, the onset and periodicity of the Ice Ages, the causes and dates of the great extinctions, and uniformitarian geology. He is most successful, in my opinion, in his merciless analysis of the textbook version of American Indian history, which supposes that a band of hunter-gatherers trekked ... as necessary and sufficient to describe ultimate truth, the authors censure the modern teaching of physics and its advocates as well (Hawking, Feynman, etc.). This geologist-reviewer makes no claim to expertise in physics. Nevertheless, it should be a matter of common consent that absurdity is not an acceptable basis for any theory in science, ...
586. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]

In recent years it has been conjectured ... and the Iron Age had not yet begun. On the other hand, meteoric iron is more difficult to hammer into shape than iron from ore. Some scholars stress that geologists have collected only a few hundred tons of meteoric iron, largely in the Western Hemisphere, and hence, as long as the source was scarce, the real Iron ...
587. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ,700BC. ' [7 ] Wow! - there we have it in a nut shell. As stated above, the writer prefers the lower date for Santorini on geological and technological grounds. It is agreed by Egyptologists that silver, tin-bronze, glass, faience and the horse and chariot, to name a few items, did not ... in the form of dust. The dust profile is very accurate and can be measured at millimetre resolution [13]. The cores also contain sulphuric and nitric acid. Geologists have tried with some success to relate the acid level in the ice to the sulphurousness of volcanoes in particular but there are problems here as the acidity of volcanoes is ...

... day] = 7776000 divided by 674 seconds [mean drift rate] = 11537 years BP [before present] or 11537-2045 = 9492BC. Speaking with geographers at the British Geological Survey it would seem that this is surprisingly close to the consensus date they now use for the start of the Holocene - 9500BC. Merely a curiosity or something more ... jungle and scrape out the tram-line .. . Still, new ideas are now more likely to come from outside - Wegener the continental drifter was a meteorologist, not a geologist. How many false dogmas are there today in astronomy, and in the nuclear physics with which it is so closely linked? .. . in science, truth ...
589. AD Ages in Chaos: A Russian Point of View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Civilisation are two Russian professors, one a very famous man from Moscow University, Kessler, who is a chemistry professor, and the other Davidenko who is a retired geology professor. The introduction to this book was written by Gary Kasparov, who is today playing a very important role in the organisation of this movement: he writes critical ... are working in this field of history analysis demonstrate that it is a very interdisciplinary community: we have mathematicians, computer science experts, history and sociology professors, chemists, geologists and a lot of people from natural science and from technology, etc. The art critic Alexander Zhabinsky wrote a very interesting book, Another History of the Arts. ...
590. The AAAS Is Alerted To Act. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... . ?" Applied to me, the test indicated: "In addition to challenging physics and biology, it is clear that Velikovsky is out of step with astronomy and geology," also anthropology, sociology, and history. (I believed I was aware of this, and so was Kallen.) Test 4: "In every ... debate. Instead, voices were heard clamoring for another round. John Pfeiffer, in Science of July 13, 1951, questioned: Why haven't the astronomers, linguists, geologists, or anthropologists- speaking through their societies- come out with their feelings about Worlds in Collision? Or should that be the function of AAAS [American Association for the Advancement ...
