... cannot prove it. Most celestial mechanics orthodox and informed - would say that we suspect (it's probably no more than a hunch) that the solar system is stable over hundreds if not thousands of millions of years, but we cannot prove it by the methods of celestial mechanics that are available to us today. We have to go to geophysical, astrophysical and selenological evidence - and there, of course, we are again on ground which has been disputed by those who advocate the very short time scale. The fossil record would appear to have been laid down in the rocks over the past two thousand million years, and in those fossils we have very complicated animals. If ...
392. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... all the craters were completely removed by an erosion catastrophe. Mutch and his colleagues continue: In an attempt to see if the crater data places any constraints on the cratering rate, [K . L.] Jones demonstrates [K . L. Jones, "Evidence for an Episode of Crater Obliteration Intermediate in Martian History, Journal of Geophysical Research 79 (1974): 3917-3931.] that, under a set of specific, plausible conditions, the observed distribution could have resulted from a specific model in which an erosional episode with an intensity 100 times the background value occurred four-fifths of the way through planetary history [about 920 million years ago]. When the distribution of ...
393. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... I sent him some material when I found that he is there and have not the books with him. Professor Andre Danjon, director of that observatory, as I mentioned in the morning session, created a, well, sensation- sensation of disbelief, if you wish- when in the summer of 1960 at the annual meeting of the Geophysical Union, that happened to be at Helsinki, he announced that after a flare of the Sun that rotation of the Earth lost something like few milliseconds, which strangely the day thereafter started again to accelerate by microseconds. And this happened more than once. Idea came from Harvard- Menzel- maybe thermal phenomenon. No. Professor Schatzmann ...
394. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... off sharp rocks, but lava and Tephra. Therefore, Venus may now exhibit the scars of very recent events. Such were the effects of Athena's last battles. As if to commemorate the occasion, planet-Venus resonates periodically with the Earth. On April 23, 1966, P. Goldreich and S. J. Peale reported to the American Geophysical Union the surprising discovery that every time Venus passes between the Sun and the Earth it turns the same face towards Earth. T. J. Gordon, rocket scientist and author, wrote, "This type of resonant motion resists outside disturbances; once locked, the motion tends to remain locked. When did the Earth capture Venus' ...
395. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... , for example, of Professor Danjon, Director of Paris Observatory, that made sensation when he announced it, in the summer of 1960, at Helsinki, about the change in the rotation of the Earth, if only in milliseconds, following a flare, a regular flare on the Sun, was unbelieved by those who attended the International Geophysical Union session. But then it was confirmed, in Helsinki again. So these electromagnetic phenomena were entirely not in calculated [that is, calculated in, included in the calculations], but when ow the celestial mechanics is presented in textbooks, the authors, like Clemence and others who are great authority in the field, have excused ...
396. Thoth Vol IV, No 5: March 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... explained, and the field's apparent memory is most likely caused by a structure and process occurring deeper inside the Sun than previously believed. "There may be something asymmetric about the Sun's interior, perhaps a deep- seated lump of old magnetic field," she said. The findings, published in the February 1 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, are based on all the solar wind data collected from the dawn of space exploration through 1998, both by Earth-orbiting satellites and interplanetary spacecraft. This includes about 335,000 hours of solar wind speed data and 250,000 hours of magnetic field data. Co-authors of the article, in addition to Neugebauer and Smith, are ...
397. Thoth Vol II, No. 6: March 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... This interesting report seems to support all of these inter-connections: "Two American workers have recently demonstrated that there is indeed a very remarkable link between the fluctuations in the length of the day taken from a sample over the years 1865 to 1961, and the small variations in the strength of the Earth's dipole between 1901 and 1960 (Journal of Geophysical Research, vol 32, no 5, p.828)." The fluctuations show the usual 11 and 22 year periodicities associated with solar activity. In fact the full spectrum shows harmonics stretching up to 66 years. "Surprisingly these exact values (of the harmonics) appear in the power spectral analysis for the variations in the ...
398. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... we didn't tell them, the dating people, which layer which came from - and to our amazement we learned that the whole island of Tonga has rotated through 180 degrees and is now upside down. The top layer is older than the bottom layer of the charcoal. To make matters worse, shortly after that we had established the International Geophysical Year, 1958 onwards, and established a permanent observatory site in the New Zealand sector of Antarctica - and one of the technicians at the site, when they emerged in the spring, noticed that a seal carcass that he himself had shot for dog-meat and that got left out through the winter -when he emerged in the spring he found ...
399. The Burning of Troy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to another. As the gamut of tests and procedures is subjected to the concerted attention of scholars of relevant fields, it may be expected that a system of producers and a battery of tests will evolve- simpler, easier to employ, practicable given the conditions of archaeological exploration. The resultant research and testing would possibly confirm that archaeology and geophysics have overlooked some significant part of the absolutely small fund of ancient data. At that point, not too far away, we may begin to speak of a new subfield of science called paleo-calcinology. And when this task is finished, we might turn to another new subfield, which beckoned us temptingly even as we tried to concentrate upon ...
400. Poleshifts, Catastrophes, And Myths [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... - is heady wine to place before the paleographer! It constitutes a departure from the doctrine of uniformitarianism. '. .. . But maybe the poles do move rapidly. The claim should at least be investigated rather than being dismissed without a test."24 This book is yet another attempt to analyze, test, and present the geophysical and biological evidence as it is related to a poleshift catastrophe in historical times. The reason that this idea has not been tested is testament to the stranglehold uniformitarianism has had on the mind of science over the past century and a half. This book opens with an historically significant citation that the evidence of the Earth spoke eloquently of great ...
