... circular orbits in the space of only a few thousand years since Venus' postulated flirtations with the other planets seemed the great dynamical stumbling block for Velikovsky, short of some Act of God. To take an example from a similar sort of situation, there was a very interesting article in the February 1976 Scientific American, entitled: "Is Gravity Getting Weaker?", by T. C. Van Flandern. In trying to explain an observed gradual secular (i .e ., non-periodic) increase in the moon's orbital period, Van Flandern puts an upper limit of an increase of about 17 parts in 10^11 per year for the combined effect on the moon's period ...
262. Thoth Vol I, No. 21: August 11, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... . The appearance of that sky beggars even the modern imagination which has been conditioned to the weirdness of phenomena seen in deep space. Since shortly after their assumed creation 4 or 5 billion years ago, the planets are believed to have moved like clockwork along their separate orbits. Yet, it is well known among astronomers that Newton1s law of gravity when applied to more than 2 orbiting bodies, leads in a relatively short time to chaotic motion. How can the solar system have remained in its apparently stable configuration for the 5 eons required by current theories of solar system evolution? And why, if the planets and moons were formed from the same primordial cloud of gas and dust ...
263. Checking the Checkered Checker [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... kilometre per second, or 100, 000 centimetres per second, how far, directly upward, will it have travelled at the end of 1 second? A similar question arises when seeking the distance and time relations for a bullet fired toward zenith with a muzzle velocity, in this case, of \ kilometre per second, while working against gravity. The problem is relatively elementary in physics, but is worth solving. Mistakes are often made, even by professionals, in solving problems of this kind, thus no mockery and derision arc called for. Charles Ginenthal correctly used the muzzle velocity model in his computations. When a gun is fired, one does not divide the muzzle ...

... have been subjected. Light lavas such as felspath are glassy and filamentous. The basaltic or heavier lavas are more solid, compact and dense with fewer or smaller pores. Basaltic lavas nevertheless often produce very perfect crystals of augite or leucite as have been found at Stromboli, Etna (Monte Rossi), Monte Albano, etc. The specific gravity of felspar to augite, hornblende, and titaniferous iron, is the average proportion Of 4 to 5. Of these two classes we have the following sub-divisions. 36A. Felspar. (a ) Rocks of felspar with occasional quartz crystals and more frequently mica, are denominated trachyte. (b ) Common trachyte displays generally a coarse granitoidal ...

... can't get charge separation in space." Recently I heard one say, "Well, of course there is electricity in space, but it doesn't DO anything." More and more of them are looking for answers to stellar questions in the plasma laboratory. And it is the math of plasma interactions, not the electrically sterile math of gravity that is producing workable models of galactic jets and galactic rotation. G. Johannesson adds "Imagine two concentric circles surrounding a dot. The outer circle is all possible solutions to a problem, either physically real or unreal. The next much smaller circle is all physically real solutions dependent on boundary and initial conditions. The dot is all ...
268. Reexamination of the Foundations [Journals] [Pensee]
... foundations never were very strong to begin with, but this fact has been forgotten. This gets very involved- I've been doing research in this area for 15 years. There are three areas that specifically need further research. First, I do not think that any physicist could actually derive, or historically show how was derived, the concept of gravity. That concept is extremely shaky in its original derivation. We have become accustomed to it through habit, but there is very little justification for it. Second, I've already mentioned the uniformitarian hypothesis, which was introduced by a lawyer, not by a professional geologist. Lyell argued the uniformitarian case like a lawyer would argue it; ...

... by movement of the crust to the south [19]. The equivalent north-sloping forms found in the south of the North Island of New Zealand are much smaller, through being created in mudstone and softer rocks more recently raised from a submerged seabed. Conclusion Continental movement is the macroscale equivalent of blocks of material sliding downhill under the force of gravity. In the global model, where the minimal effect of gravity is limited to what is acting on the slight difference in the length of Earth's radii in the mid-north and south latitudes (the pear shape) - negligible in the short term - an alternative force is required. This is provided by the inertial reaction of the lithosphere to ...
... the earth after the igneous period was passed, and will be found in its first aqueous beds, and generally unassociated with fossil vegetation. This is precisely what we do find. Both Dana and Dtuvson bear testimony to the fact that graphite is a very common mineral in the older beds, and that the primitive carbon beds are equal in gravity to that of similar areas in the carboniferous system. Why no fossil plants in the earlier coal deposits? Because no plants grew at that time. Then we must look for its origin elsewhere than in plants. If coal be a vegetable product, so is graphite. To say that animal organism aided in the process simply adds to ...
