... and its people have been subjected to catastrophic natural experiences (flood, heat, earthquake, meteoritic bombardment) of a kind unknown to recent history. b) These have occurred both before and after the passage of homo sapiens from the hominid. Evidence of them is to be located in legends, religions, psycho-social behavior , astro-physics, the geological and fossil record. d) A new general theory touching upon all fields of knowledge is evolving in the midst of conventional scientific theory, introducing critical modifications concerning natural history, the solar system, ancient history, and the origins of culture and human nature. SCHOLARLY INTEREST A number of scholars around the world are concerned with these topics ...
672. Saturday: Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... continuing interest in the Saturn/Earth catastrophe and its corollary, the Electric Universe. This culminated in the article, co-authored with Bernard Newgrosh, The Primordial Light' [SIS Review II:2 , Dec.1977] in which it suggested that at one time the Earth orbited as a satellite of proto-Saturn'. His follow-up article, Geological Genesis', first written in the 60s, was eventually published in C&C Workshop 1993:1 . Born in 1928, a squash playing septuagenarian no less, he leads a very active business life, and is particularly delighted that his sons, Ian and Simon, are following in father's footsteps'. His particular pleasure is ...
673. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... described as a recent catastrophic rupture of "Pangaea" and the sudden shift of its fragments (continents) under the tremendous forces of polar ice-caps. Crustal uplifts and depressions, shield-geosyncline-welt inter-relationships, the nature and occurrence of coal, oil and fossils, overthrusting and stacking of strata, e.g . in the Canadian Rockies, and other geological data provide further support. Critical mathematical analysis of orthodox theory is provided throughout the book. The author was until 1970 Professor of Metallurgy at the University of Utah and is widely known for his contributions to leading scientific journals, which, in addition to those concerning his speciality, include articles on solid-state physics, geophysics, electro-thermodynamics, ion-exchange ...
674. Encounters and Collisions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... new diagnostic methods, such as the discovery of coesite, a silica mineral that forms under high pressures in the laboratory and has been found in craters suspected of exoterrestrial origin. Meanwhile the space shuttle Columbia has photographed beneath the sands covering the eastern Sahara to reveal fractures, dried-up rivers, and probable paleolithic settlements. The U.S . Geological Survey confirmed the radar penetrations. Craters can be discerned as well, and they will probably be promptly mapped over the globe. Many bodily and electric encounters of Earth with exoterrestrial bodies will one day be counted, measured, plotted for concentrations, and assigned to temporal episodes. The difference between a meteoroid and a comet may be an ...
675. Stress & Chaos Form Tallest Mountains [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... moons. The researchers analyzed images taken by the Galileo and Voyager spacecraft and found that Io's enigmatic mountains may be the combined result of heating, melting, and tilting of giant blocks of crust. The origin of Io's prodigious mountains has intrigued planetary scientists for over 20 years. Io, about the size of Earth's moon, is the most geologically active body in the solar system, with mountains up to 55,000 feet tall (the summit of Mt. Everest is a meager 29,000 feet). Io's surface is dotted with active volcanoes spewing plumes of sulfurous gas and emitting vast streams of scorching lava. The heat released from Io- from lavas as hot as ...

The history of all groups of animals and plants is characterized by constant changes, progressive or retrogressive. (b ) That, in animal life, there was an Age of Fishes, ...
677. A Response to Dr Milsom [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the two positions. The first problem concerns the type of raw data upon which these positions rest. Dr Milsom's position depends on that part of the magnetisation in rocks that is considered to have been induced by the earth's magnetic field when the rock was in a particular thermal state at a time that is considered to be derivable from archaeological or geological chronology. My position depends on direct simultaneous measurements on the earth's magnetic field over an appreciable global distribution. The measurements are made at magnetic observatories at known times. Dr Milsom concedes sizeable difficulties with rock magnetisation data, but contends that "The earth's field seems (emphasis added) to have been approximately dipolar and axial throughout most of ...
678. Pole-Shift [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:1 (Jan 1986) Home | Issue Contents Pole-Shift Richard W. Noone During the International Geophysical Year (1958), Charles H. Hapgood published a book entitled Earth's Shifting Crust that was highly praised by Harvard geology professor Kirtley F. Mather and Albert Einstein. It set forth the idea that a great many problems which have remained unsolved in the history of the earth could be explained by the assumption that the earth's outer shell has slipped over the interior, thus changing the positions of the poles relative to the earth's surface. In the last two and a half decades anenormous amount of new data has reinforced this view. In ...
679. Proceedings of the 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Proceedings of the 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference http://www.knowledge.co.uk/sis/cambproc.htm The Second SIS Cambridge Conference, entitled "Natural Catastrophes during Bronze Age Civilisations: Archaeological, Geological, Astronomical and Cultural Perspectives", was held at Fitzwilliam College between 11-13 July 1997. The first paper in the Proceedings is based on the keynote address by science journalist Robert Matthews. In this, Matthews makes two main points: (1 ) that observations made in the distant past may be far more accurate than we generally assume; and (2 ) that ...

... smaller than those of a single large event. They do not seem to appreciate that the change of thinking on the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (e .g . by William Clemens, who claims the slow demise of the dinosaurs over a period of 5-7Myrs precludes a catastrophe cause) is motivated by a desire to exclude catastrophist theories. (See also Geological Unconformities' this issue for a new angle on the iridium evidence). Life on Mars?source: DAILY TELEGRAPH 19.11.84; 26.11.84 The idea that life exists, or once existed, on Mars is being taken very seriously and at high level: the evidence in favour is being presented to ...
