... are of greatly different heights. They also vary with the seasons. These and many other facts make it clear that the tides are not a simple direct response to the vertical component of the moon's gravitational pull, which is really far too small for effective lifting of the water masses anyway.(3 ) The authors of the textbook on geology from which this last quotation is borrowed did not express any doubt concerning the Newtonian theory of tides; they showed only that there exist many irregularities that require explanation, that the force of the moon's gravitational pull is insufficient, and that no theoretical prediction of tides is possible. Therefore, to refer to the tides as providing support for ...

903. Megaliths, Moon Cycles, and Movements of the Earth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... whereby cascading electron emission may be produced in rock crystals and granite by very slight pressured.(12) Other effects due to tension in the Earth's crust immediately prior to an earthquake have been described by Tributsch.(13) There is a case for supposing that various unexplained light phenomena, such as UFOs, may be productions of such geological stress conditions and that stone circles were built on particularly vulnerable areas.(14) The catastrophic effects of earthquakes or the frightening inexplicability of lights or other electrical effects would certainly merit concerted efforts of prediction and propitiation. This always supposes that at the time of building, generally estimated at between about 2000-1500 BC, the lunar cycle was ...

905. The Time Detectives by Brian Fagan (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... given up the ghost but catastrophism provides a twist to his theory, the repetitive climatic blips that accelerated and encouraged people to adopt methods of controlling their food resources. Fire may also have played a role. On p. 153 and chapter 7, with the intriguing title, Searching for Eden' , the ancient land of Sumer and its geology and geography is discussed. It was clearly once a bountiful land and reed boats were adopted as a general means of transportation. A chequered landscape of hundreds of irrigation canals and green fields has vanished, the soil fertility has disappeared and the coastline of the Gulf itself has changed dramatically. Oil exploration and field research has led to extensive ...
906. Ascent into Dissent: The Quantavolution Books (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... de Grazia outlines the first expression of a new theory, "Solaria Binaria," which characterizes the ancient solar system. The rest of the book, through dotted with physical evidence, mainly describes the cultural aspects of the "ages" which follow as the system transmogrifies from its primitive state into the solar system we recognize today. More geological, palaeological, psychological, and astronomical evidence related to Chaos and Creation is found respectively in The Lately Tortured Earth, in the two volumes of Homo Schizo, and in Solaria Binaria. The last of these volumes I co-authored with de Grazia. In it we develop together an all electric model for the celestial motions and physical changes which ...
907. Time, Electricity and Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "war is hell", but less hellish to old soldiers than to recruits. It seems to us that both a priori views- that the ancients were excitable or that they were blasé- may obstruct the necessary work of delineating, bit by bit, the experiences of the ancients from the conglomerated assemblage of fragmentary records, legends and geological and archaeological facies, and then exposing them to analysis in the light of the sciences today. A persistent theme of the ancient voices is quantavolution, that is, that the world and all that is in it owe most of their changes to forceful torsions and saltations. That quantavolution plays a role in the theory of natural and social ...
908. Ancient History Study Group, September 1993 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... noted that as differences between the three calendars used are small (as far back as the Flood there is only a 2 year disparity) the system' does not help to distinguish between competing chronologies where gaps' of hundreds of years are at issue. Cycles of Catastrophe Tony Chavasse presented his theory of catastrophe cycles. Using conventional dating of geological ages from Cambrian to Tertiary, he found each age lasting a multiple of 12 96 million years and a sub-cycle of 12 96 million/3 = c4 32 million years. He indicated that Ice Ages lasted 3,600 years and that intervals between them were a multiple of this period. Tony claimed that some ancient sages said that ...
909. The Sword in the Stone [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Such deposits, as at Cligga Head, Gurnards Head, Pendeen and at Mount's Bay, were most probably the source of natural bronzes in the Middle Bronze Age long before tin was known as a metal. Cornwall therefore has a strong claim to be the home of Mycenaean and Shaft Grave bronze [5 ], at least on the geological evidence' [6 ]. Astonishingly then, the discovery of bronze seems to have taken place in Britain, launching the Bronze Age revolution. That, for Dayton, seems to be what the geological evidence tells us. The wealth of the Wessex culture, that branch of Beaker culture responsible for raising Stonehenge, speaks eloquently, for ...
