... ancestral desert is absurd and useful to divert attention from how bad conditions really were. The Jews were operating in the middle of catastrophe; there is no anomaly here. III. The Geosphere was disturbed. The world was shaking. Rivers were stopped and changed their courses. Mountains were moved. We are obliged to hypothesize: "Every geophysical feature or process in the world capable of exhibiting the effects of continuous stress will show that such stress occurred around-3500." Here we share problems with conventional students of Holocene geology: what tests can pinpoint geological events in time- radiocarbon dating, possible chemical changes in rocks and soils, changed stratigraphy and morphology that can be ...
342. The Father of the Gods? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... high amount of hydrogen and helium in Saturn"(15) as it "does not correspond to its (Saturn's) middle position among the giant planets or to the chemistry of its atmosphere which is similar to those of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune." A similar conclusion was reached by A. H. Cook of the Department of Geophysics, University of Edinburgh (16). Ransom wrote: "He concluded that although all planets are surrounded by different mantles, they could have cores similar to that of the Earth." (17) and... "Cook considers some of the popular models of Jupiter and Saturn which assume the planets to be composed of ...
343. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... radius for Earth is unnecessary. Is this an entrenched postulation that no one wishes to retract? Perhaps S.I .S . would be the proper forum for members to campaign to dispose of this humbug for ever. I also believe that Mr Eric Crew can dismiss the problem of a distorted shell slipping over a non-spherical core. Many geophysical writers who mention the weight of mountains and ice-caps depressing one area and bulging another, seem agreed that the very hot condition of the magma in the Low Velocity Zone underlying the crust permits plastic migration in compensation (Greenland depressed, Norway rising, etc.), so that there is no logical reason why the bottom of this layer ...
344. A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt [Journals] [Kronos]
... the ancient nations, but the foundation vitally necessary before this can be accomplished is the validity and accuracy of the Sothic chronology. We must first be certain of the foundation. Radiocarbon chronologists, testing the accuracy of carbon 14 as a scientific dating technique, have utilised what they consider the firmly grounded chronology of pharaonic Egypt as a check. Geophysicists have discovered, however, that Egyptian artifacts from the second millennium B.C . often date approximately five centuries too early based on astronomical dating. This is a serious discrepancy which not even Suess calibration explains.(1 ) The amount of C-14 available is influenced by geography, and this places doubt on the accuracy of the method ...
345. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... this hypothetical case would be 66/3 .48^2 = 5.4 times that of the lunar tides. To determine what effect this passing force would have on the motion of the Earth it is necessary to answer another question asked by Slade, concerning the flexibility of the Earth's crust, or shell. I doubt if any geophysicist could answer this at present, but a scale model of the Earth seems to indicate that the relatively thin crust would show considerable vertical movement under this order of external force. There would be an appreciable bulge at opposite ends of a diameter and as well as its movement with the rotation of the Earth, it would lag behind the ...
346. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ?source: New Scientist 25.12.86/1 .1 .87 p.7 We said we would doubtless hear more of Louis Frank and his theory of oceans of cometary origin (Workshop 1986:1 , p.27). Apparently there was a lively debate between Frank and critics at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Among the questions put was one on why the comets had not been spotted (yet), to which Frank responded by suggesting a "dedicated survey for about six months". Another critic stated that impacts on the Moon should have been detected by the seismographs left there on Apollo missions, to which Frank suggested that the ...

348. Gases, Poisons and Food [Books] [de Grazia books]
... accompanied the poison, and was succeeded immediately by great tides of slurried water. In 1975, Bramlette described deep fossil beds a plankton in the sea bottom that he tied to cosmic radiation storms [14]. Radiology is a new field of knowledge, whose development is producing a new attitude toward what can be transformed, in biology, geophysics, meteorology, and geology. Oparin some time ago began to call upon it to explain the long chain of chemo-biological events leading up to The Origin of Life. He wrote of inorganic meteoric material suffering far-reaching transformation from inter-stellar radiation before arriving upon the Earth, of transmutations, for instance of iron and nickel into aluminum and silieni and ...
... recent enough for men to have observed and recorded in historic times.. . a signal achievement of imagination and intelligence working in close harmony to restore authenticity to an early image of an actual happening..." [184:115- 16]. Doubleday put it this way [93]: "With the discoveries of the International Geophysical Year and the dawn of the space age, a number of his major predictions have been confirmed.... To many... the old question-'Could Velikovsky be right? '- became: How could such a heretic have known?" ' Other support came from possibly unwelcome sources: "Science now tends to confirm the ideas ...
... "fanciful theories"; in Industrial Research/Development [171] Velikovsky was described as "one of the most controversial scientists of this century. . . acceptance of Velikovsky's work is inevitable." Most significant, perhaps, was the following, because of the nature of the publication in which it appeared, the Transactions of the American Geophysical Union [27]: "Pioneer Venus results reportedly show Venus not to be the body predicted by Velikovsky . . . [but he] correctly predicted . . . polar wandering on Earth, the surface characteristics of Mars, RF emissions of Jupiter, and the high temperatures on the surface of Venus. . . . Velikovsky . ...
