... at all in the southern hemisphere. That being the case, myths of the Configuration would have had to travel southward from the northern hemisphere, mostly from the higher latitudes, with no previous mention of it, or a description of something else from south of the equator. Also, the gravitational forces from Saturn would have subtracted from Earth's gravity at the north pole, exerted a horizontal force at the equator, and added to Earth's gravity at the south pole. It would also have pulled the Earth's oceans northwards, possibly leaving the south pole dry. However, with pole shifts having taken place, the poles at that time may have been located in a different locality. ...
242. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... that the Earth tilted over on more than one occasion- especially when the records of ancient man lend it historicity? Van Flandern also stated that, other than the surviving asteroids, "the only other remaining debris that we have any chance of seeing today would be objects hurled to great distances from the Sun but eventually pulled back by its gravity".(40) He then added: "Only one kind of celestial object matches that description perfectly- the comet."(41) Thus, regardless of what else has been written about these intriguing sky wanderers, Van Flandern believes that the comets were born when Ovenden's planet Aztex exploded. (Was Velikovsky not derided when ...

... borne through the calm void, moving at equal rate with unequal weights."(3 ) In 1605, Simon Stevin of Bruges published a book in which he described his experiment: he let fall two balls of lead, one ten times the weight of the other, and they landed evenly.(4 ) Isaac Newton explained that gravity attracts the Moon to the Earth and calculated this basic notion of his theory assuming that "the mean distance of the moon is equal to sixty semi-diameters of the earth".(5 ) "The moon gravitates towards the earth, and by the force of gravity is continually drawn off from a rectilinear motion and retained on its orbit ...

... of a bigger planet or as a lone object. After months in orbit, researchers may attempt to put the craft on to the surface of Eros. Cheng said the spacecraft was not designed to land, but that is one option the researchers are considering. The density of Eros is unknown, but the asteroid is so small that its gravity force will be only a fraction of Earth's, making landing there less violent. But it would still be tricky steering the craft to a touchdown because Eros is so far away that it takes 45 minutes for a radio signal to make a round trip journey between the Earth and NEAR.

... surface is considered to be about 4 dynes/cm2. If this acts on a spherical particle of radius r cm the force due to radiation pressure would be 4pr2, i.e . 12.6r2. Assuming the density is the same as the average density of the sample particles, 3 g/cm3, the force due to gravity on the Earth would be 3 x 4/3 x pr3 x 981 dynes, and as gravity at the solar surface is 27g, the attractive force would be 27 times this value, namely 3.33 x 105r3 dynes. If the radiation pressure just equals the weight, then 3.33 x 105r3 = 12.6r2 ...
246. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (see p. 27) there was a collection of at least 30 relatively small planets revolving round each other in a complex binary' system. A star, which we now know as the Sun, was travelling on its own in the Milky Way and bumped into' or overran this motley crew, drawing them in and its immense gravity began to pierce and to break the gravitational bonds of these planets as they revolved round each other. The quotation commas are as in the book and the text close to the original, but condensed somewhat. It struck me as being incredibly and fantastically non-scientific, but it had a certain artistic merit of appeal to a Sun worshipper, ...

... (Feb 2000) Home | Issue Contents CD-Rom Reviews The Electric Universe CD ROM by Wal Thornhill US$49.00 plus US$5 p&p contact http://www.holoscience.com for ordering details The role of electricity in the cosmos is one of the most intriguing questions raised by Immanuel Velikovsky's work. Could gravity be electrical in origin? Might the Sun and stars be illuminated by massive cosmic electrical discharges, rather than internal nuclear reactions? Are the craters on Venus, the Moon and Mars volcanic in origin, or are were they caused by interplanetary electrical discharges? Since Velikovsky's time, space probes and radio telescopes have transformed the orthodox view of ...
248. The Big Bang Never Happened [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... London 1992 ISBN 0-671-71100-8 (£ 10.99 net, 466 pages) This book is sub-titled: A Startling Refutation of the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe'. It is both fascinating and frustrating - fascinating because it contains a lot of material relating to a theory of cosmology in which electromagnetic forces play a major role alongside gravity but frustrating because the author subordinates this material to playing a supporting role for his sociological and philosophical theories. (See end of review for an outline of these.) Lerner, who lives in the USA, is described as an independent researcher and writer and has published numerous articles on science and technology in many publications' (sic ...
249. Catastrophism and the Old Testament: The Mars-Earth Conflicts by Donald Wesley Patten [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ,000 years ago' when the Sun overran and attracted a collection of at least thirty relatively small planets revolving round each other in a complex binary system. Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter were sequentially drawn into essentially the orbits they now occupy. The outer satellites of some or all of these bodies were stripped off by the Sun's gravity: These included Mercury, Venus, the Earth-Moon system, Mars, and Astra .. In time Astra approached too close to Mars and fragmented, leaving one side of Mars badly cratered .. . Other fragments which missed Mars became asteroids, except a relative handful which formed an ancient ring orbiting Mars. ' Solar tides caused by ...
250. Catastrophism and the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1995 No 1 (June 1995) Home | Issue Contents Catastrophism and the Internet Ian Tresman This weekend, I read a controversial article on gravity that you probably won't see published in any magazine. By Sunday morning I had sent a note to the author with some suggestions of my own, and received a reply that afternoon. It had all cost me less than the price of a stamp. I was using the Internet. What is the Internet? The Internet is a worldwide telecommunications network for computers that lets people read and exchange messages and information. Participants include companies, educational establishments, government departments, organisations. A private individual ...
