... region require some other kind of transport energy. As its name implies, the Stratosphere is a stratified region of cold low density air, whose coldest region lies just above the tropopause. It is difficult to find any references to lateral air currents capable of transporting dust or aerosols from Equator to Poles in this region due to insufficient data. Gravity waves, which in theory have an oscillation of a few kms transverse to direction of propagation, may spread dust laterally; even though none have yet been detected, they are thought to dominate atmospheric motion above 75km [2 ]. While it is thought air in the stratosphere moves circumglobally, it is uncertain whether stratospheric winds, if ...
252. What Was "Brimstone"? [Journals] [Kronos]
... statements or implications that the fiery substance which fell in past catastrophes, or is to fall in the last days, was brimstone - i.e ., presumably, sulfur. The Bible also contains nineteen references to the unquenchability of this fiery substance - that is, to its ability to burn while floating on water. With a specific gravity of 2.07, sulfur is simply not credible as a substance which will burn on water. But if not sulfur, what could the Biblical "brimstone" have stood for? We begin our search for the solution to this mystery with an examination of one of the visions of John of Patmos wherein is revealed where the fiery ...
253. On the Circularization of the Orbit of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... space. With a large body like Venus, things are different. The escape velocity at its surface is about 10 km/s . Enormous amounts of energy are required to accelerate material to this velocity. The present atmosphere, although much more massive than its terrestrial counterpart, is nevertheless just a thin shell surrounding the planet, compressed by gravity to a thickness of less than two percent of the planet's radius. And yet, some thirty-five centuries ago, the Exodus encounter brought down meteorites, petroleum, and red dust to the Earth from the extended atmosphere of Venus. Physical considerations of this encounter and other types of evidence presented by Velikovsky indicate that the atmosphere and tail of ...
... still retain the marks of their origin in the unknown species of animals whose exuviae they contain.t By a sixth, the globe is supposed to be hollow, and to contain in its cavity a nucleus of loadstone, which is dragged from one pole of the earth to the other by the attraction of comets, changing the centre of gravity, and consequently hurrying the great body of the ocean along with it, so as alternately to drown the two hemispheres.J 20. Diversities of the Geological Systems, and their causes. We might have cited twenty other systems, as different from one another as these just now enumerated. And, to prevent mistake, we wish ...
255. The Venus versus Mars Controversy, or Which Planet Moved the Earth? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . This requires the determination of how much "matter" is in each object, rather than the strength of its attraction to Earth. The value then, would be the same, regardless of the location of the object being measured. The method used is to divide the Earth weight of an object by the "acceleration" of Earth's gravity. This acceleration is 32.176 feet per second, per second. The quotient is a quality of the object called "mass." Thus, a 32.176 pound child has one "slug" worth of matter to move around. (The slug is the unit of mass measure in the English/American system. ...

Milton: Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos 6 In a Universe whose workings are governed mainly by electricity rather than gravity, many problems disappear, "black holes" become unnecessary and the catastrophic events proposed by Velikovsky would be likely. Dr John J. Bimson: Dating the Wars of Seti I 13 Resemblances between Seti's I's Palestine campaign records and wars in Israel under King Jehoahaz suggest a placement of Seti in the 9th century.

257. Stellar Thermonuclear Energy: A False Trail? [Journals] [Kronos]
... almost precisely the same as . . . if the sun were to be an homogeneous sphere". This is equivalent to saying that the Sun pulsates as if, like a balloon, its gases were of uniform density throughout its body. Such a condition, of course, differs radically from almost any solar model one can imagine, for gravity could be expected to increase the density enormously toward the center. The Soviet team suggested two possible explanations for its findings: "The first alternative is that nuclear . . . reactions are not responsible for energy production in the Sun. Such a conclusion, although rather extravagant, is quite consistent with the observed absence of appreciable neutrino flux ...
258. Magnetic Models of the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... gram- was proportional to the conductivity and magnetic permeability of and the magnetic field strength in each uniformly constituted small subdivision of the mass. The core and plasma had by far the greatest specific ponderomotive force exerted on them. To the extent that the mantle and crust of Earth, as a unit, were more strongly pulled toward Saturn by gravity than they were repelled by their linkage to the magnetic field, the difference appeared as mechanical stress and as gravitational force between core and mantle/crust due to their relative displacement from spheroidal symmetry. Similar displacement of atmosphere and hydrosphere was stabilized by the gravitational attraction of core, mantle and crust. The shape of Earth has not been ...
259. Problems of Electricity in Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... *See BOOKSHELF Problems of Electricity in Astronomy ERIC CREW B.Sc., F.I .E .E ., F.R .A .S .The General Problem THERE IS SOMETHING SIMPLE and satisfying about gravitational forces in astronomical problems. All bodies have mass, and this attracts other mass. The force between centres of gravity varies inversely as the square of the distance. Acceleration is proportional to the force and inversely to the mass. As the velocity increases things become more complicated and the velocity of light is involved. These problems are generally well understood and form the basis of conventional celestial mechanics. Almost everything is orderly and changes are gradual . Catastrophes like ...
260. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... law of gravitation. The exploded matter on the Sun does not erupt in one place to fall in another; it does not travel in an undisturbed arc, but "mysteriously" retraces its path to fall back on its point of origin. Moreover, there is no change of velocity in its descent; the acceleration that the law of gravity postulates is lacking. In 1949, Donald Menzel, who denied the existence of a strong magnetic solar field, as the supporters of Velikovsky all know, actually produced the first motion pictures of this behavior of solar prominences- and learned nothing from them. The pressure of light from the Sun, it had also been implied, was ...
