... If beaming of the radiation is occurring then that should be verifiable here on Earth in the lab by studying the plasma focus device. For diagram of the plasma focus device, go to: http://www.holoscience.com/views/view_strange.htm The Electric Universe model lets go of the Newtonian dogma that gravity is the driving force in the cosmos. It allows for the possibility that the fundamental characteristic of normal matter - its electric charge - plays the most significant role. So if gravity wave telescopes detect anything at all, it won't be gravity waves from super-heavy objects. And particle physicists who are trying to work out how the universe was ...
272. Some Comments on "Still Facing Many Problems" (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... star's mass falling below this limit after a series of repeated outbursts. If a star loses so much mass that it gets below the critical limit for thermonuclear reactions, these reactions will stop, but the interior will still be hot and internal pressure high. If a substantial part of the star's mass has been lost in a short time, gravity forces may become insufficient for balancing the internal pressure, which will lead to further expansion. In the case of a secondary, in other words a star that has a larger companion, expansion beyond the Roche lobe means that material is lost to the companion and will not come back. The more Protosaturn expanded, the smaller became the ...

... +. If this be the case, since the first builders erected those sarsens the earth has increased its orbit by 5+ days. What is the explanation? The only possible explanation is that Since that time either one or more tremendous accretion or accretions have added to the weight of the earth and accordingly it has by the law of gravity expanded its orbit. Gravitation is the force by reason of which all the bodies and particles of matter in the universe tend towards one another. According to Newton's law any two masses attract each other with a force which acts in the line joining them and this line is directly proportional to the square of the distance between them. We ...
275. Drayson's hypothesis: the Earth's tilt cycle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... nature of precessional motion as envisaged by astronomers. He seems to think that, when astronomers say that during precession the Earth's rotation axis traces a cone they mean that the apex of the cone is at one of the poles, rather than at the Earth's centre of mass: "If the earth's axis trace a cone, the centre of gravity of the earth must be thrown out of its orbit. If the earth's axis trace a cone, either the north or south pole of the earth must remain fixed whilst the axis traces this cone." [40] To make this point absolutely clear, Drayson uses as a model an orange with a rod driven through it to ...

... and a few of the largest condors and eagles, are marginal. Albatrosses in particular are called "gooney birds" by sailors because of the extreme difficulty they experience taking off and landing, their landings being (badly) controlled crashes, and all of this despite long wings made for maximum lift. The felt effect of the force of gravity on Earth was much less in remote times, and only this allowed such giant creatures to fly. No flying creature has since RE-EVOLVED into anything like former sizes, and the one or two birds which have retained such sizes have forfeited any thought of flight, their wings becoming vestigial. Adrian Desmond (The Hot Blooded Dinosaurs) has ...
277. The Intellectual Context of Velikovsky's Thought [Articles]
... motion to find its natural place. In Aristotelean mechanics bodies on this earth all try to find their natural place (very hierarchical), and, therefore, if you took a stone and threw it out of its natural place, it would want to come back down to where its natural place was; the stone was heavy and had gravity and wanted to be with other things that were heavy with gravity. Whereas something that was light like fire, close to God's truth, (fire has always been a symbol of truth for various reasons) has a natural levity, a desire to reach the heavens, to go up. These were the laws that governed the things ...

... of errors supposedly arising from small sample size, and, most significantly, ignores the significance of the absolute dating for the last 10,000 years available from the Dye 3 core, just as he ignored the ice core data in CRSQ 16, 1979, pp. 29-37. Clearly, Oard's series is biased by his creationist beliefs. Gravity vs. Magnetism: An article in the July 1985 Science Digest, p. 26, is headed "Magnetic Whirlwinds: New discoveries show that magnetism is as fundamental as gravity". While this may at first glance appear to give new support to Velikovsky, this is not the case. Nothing in it contradicts what I wrote in ...

... in 10^23". (Bass' arguments against this ploy of Sagan can be found in Kronos I:3 , p.60. He commented at the Conference that "in his proof', [Sagan] took the brilliant step of using the theory of non-interacting billiard balls from statistical mechanics, in which the law of gravity is completely neglected".) Dr Bass then turned to a case where it had appeared that Velikovsky's proposals and Newtonian mechanics were irreconcilable, mentioning some recent calculations of his own in which he had been unable to persuade Venus, on a close approach to Earth, to impart more than 10 degrees of tilt to the latter's axis - ...

... Professor Sagan's argument." (92) Sagan had calculated that the chance of the events described in Worlds in Collision occurring was 1 in 1022, because he erroneously believed that each near-approach was independent, "Dr. Velikovsky pointed out that the collisions are not independent; in fact, if two bodies orbiting the sun under the influence of gravity collide once, that encounter enhances the chance of another, a fact well known in celestial mechanics." (93) (i .e ., Sagan does not know that but ought to have known it, and as a result he stands ironically accused of the very fault he and Asimov attributed to Velikovsky). "Professor ...
