862. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... like rams, and the little hills like lambs. ' This suggests a seismic disturbance rather than conversion of elevated heights to volcanoes. When interpreting poetic descriptions of natural cataclysms it is often assumed that established rock strata can suddenly be raised by subterranean pressures to become volcanoes (see below: Genesis of a volcano'), but this is geologically impossible. Volcanoes Every material body seeks equilibrium, externally and internally. In consequence, the material comprising the interior of even a solid' planet will flow like a fluid given sufficient time. As gas, dust, debris, and meteors of stone and iron composition came together to form proto-Earth, the young planet became heated from the ...

... closely at the extensive evidence he quotes for disturbances to the axis of rotation of the Earth, even if this is generally regarded as merely legendary. The same issue of New Scientist showed NASA artists' view of Venus (p410) and the comment below the picture about the Velikovskian cult' seems uncalled for. The planet is regarded as geologically young and the features in the illustration could have been formed in a few tens of thousands of years, I would have thought, if the planet is cooling rapidly from an incandescent core, or part core, ejected from Jupiter. Perhaps this also explains the Great Red Spot, as this is a little wider than the diameter of ...
864. Of "Pre-existing Ideas" In The Souls Of Peoples, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... nd covered hills and even mountains. We have a poor opinion of the mental abilities of our ancestors if we think that merely an extraordinary overflow of the Euphrates so impressed the nomads of the desert that they thought the entire world was flooded, a nd that the legend so born wandered from people to people. At the same time, geological problems of the origin and distribution of till, or diluvial deposit, are awaiting explanation. The peoples of ancient times, who, like the primitive peoples of the present, lacked modern protection against the elements of nature, and who live in the insecurity of tropical storms and tornadoes or frost and snowstorms, must have been more accustomed ...

866. Aftermath to Exposure [Books] [de Grazia books]
... before the appearance of the Behavioral Scientist's Velikovsky issue-Harper's Magazine printed Scientists in Collision, ' an article by Eric Larrabee, whose 1950 article in the same magazine marked the beginning of the controversy. Now, writing 13 years later, Larrabee chose to point up the case for Velikovsky by citing recent discoveries in astronomy, space science, geology, and geophysics that bring support to the thesis of Worlds in Collision. Like the authors of the articles in the Behavioral Scientist, Larrabee called attention to a letter in Science (December 21, 1962) in which Valentin Bargmann, physicist of Princeton University, and Lloyd Motz, astronomer of Columbia University, urged their colleagues to recognize ...
867. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that will not necessarily be easily understood. Colombo (7 ) has observed that, although Mercury, the moon and several satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have odd angular momentums, the behaviours of Venus and Mars are much more difficult to explain. A considerable loss of angular momentum by Mars has been used to explain theoretical calculations about Mars and geological formations seen on the planet (8 , 9, 10). Evidence has been presented which indicates that the earth was extensively affected by interactions of the earth and an external body. Dorrani and Khan (11, 12) have suggested this as a cause of the reversal of the earth's magnetic field. They mention a correlation of ...
868. Did Cosmic Impact Change Earth's Tilt? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... also altered the Earth's tilt. "If the Earth were tilted to 70 degrees from vertical, then both the faint young sun problem and the snowball Earth problem would be solved," says Jenkins. The faint young sun problem arises because young stars are 20 to 30 percent less bright, and consequently less warm, than older stars. Geological evidence shows that the Earth was much warmer in the early Precambrian than it is today, despite a weaker sun. Tilting the earth 70 degrees gives large parts of each hemisphere 24 hours of sunlight for three months. If this sunlight were to fall on land, temperatures would be hotter than 125 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, but, ...
