... from a few microns to nearly zero, and it is often difficult to decide whether one should be counted or not. Under these circumstances, it is notorious that total counts come out at what the investigators think they should be. The subjectiveness of such counts is highlighted by a report by R. G. Hipkin, an Edinburgh University geophysicist, that he counted 253 ridges and later 359 ridges in a repeat count of the same specimen. [Footnote 29: S. Warren Carey, "Criticisms of Earth Expansion," Theories of the Earth and Universe (Stamford, California, 1988), p. 196.]" From: P Metcalfe, P.Metcalfe ...

... in the Venusian atmosphere "proves" that the Icarus articles by Sagan and Pollack(1-4) are precise predictions of a "verified" greenhouse effect on Venus.(5 ) Anyone who actually wishes to read the Icarus articles should procure the work edited by Jill Williams, and also keep by his side a copy of the Handbook of Geophysics and Space Environments, edited by Shea L. Valley (Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, McGraw-Hill). Some perspective will then be maintained. The problem we have with Venus is not strictly mathematical. One could easily "assume" a collection of radiation absorption coefficients, interspersed with sophisticated remarks about "generous assumptions", and by ...

... Baltis Vallis is a 6800km rille of continuous width, and with signs of levied banks. There also appears to be a fulgamite (not fulgurite) scar, which has a characteristic raised mound. Fulgamite was coined by R. D. Hill in an article, "Determination of Charges Conducted in Lightning Strokes", in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 68, No. 5, p. 1365 (1 Mar 1963). Mars' Tharsis Tholus is an example of an electrical fulgamite scar. Mars also features fretted terrain, such as Labyrinthus Noctis which shows no signs of fluid flow, nor debris, and also shows overlapping circular pits. Nirgal Vallis is ...

... ] are found to be two orders of magnitude below the detection threshold even with today's high precision Earth rotation measurements. However, it was calculated than an earthquake of only one tenth the size of the great 1960 Chile event, if it happened today, could be comfortably detected in polar motion observations." [9 ] It appears that geophysicists are now waiting for that big earthquake in order to observe a pole shift! This paper and its references may answer many of Barbiero's questions on the matter. Concerning GPS, orbit determinations include a determination of the position of Earth's rotational axis in the solid Earth (accurate to about 3cm or 0.001 arc-seconds) for the data ...
