... a secure future of great length." Darwin ended the Origin of Species with these words: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." The plot now being settled, the drama of everyone against everybody else could go on without any fear that the stage itself would collapse. For man at the top of the ladder it was like a license to devour ...
362. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Mercury would be the same as that determined by relativity. Divari (26) has shown that the same properties of the intersolar dust clouds can be explained by assuming that they are charged. Cook and Franklin (27) have analysed the rings of Saturn, and they concluded that the rings would collapse to a layer one particle thick if gravity is the only acting force. Further analysis led them to suggest that the presence of electrostatic forces seems to be the most likely means whereby the rings may be kept at a finite thickness. The papers cited provide quantitative support for four of the basic suggestions made by Velikovsky. These basic points are 1) major changes in composition and ...
363. Requirements For The Convection Cell [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , a ridge builds up, and new sea-floor is created, so that continents at either side begin to drift apart, while proto-convection cells start to circulate; what can we expect to be happening below the crust from our experience on the surface? The only solid studied in flow is ice, in sheets and glaciers under the influence of gravity, glaciers being restricted to valleys where friction at the base and sides cause differential flow. As far as lava is concerned, this can only be studied as a liquid flowing downhill in sheets, streams, or between levees, and sometimes in tunnels or tubes. If this applied to the convection cell, would it be correct to ...

365. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from the Sun. The Great Red Spot, however, may be explained by the complexity of turbulence modelling. There's more out there than meets the eye New Scientist 17.10.98, p. 54, Scientific American Jan. 99, p. 15 The spacecraft Pioneer 10 was found to be decelerating faster than the theory of gravity predicts but it could be due to eddy-current braking caused by the fact that the craft is moving through a magnetic field. The influx of cosmic rays has effects on Earth's cloud cover but the rays are blocked more at times when the Sun's magnetic field is strong, so our weather becomes tied in with the Sun's 11 year activity cycle ...
366. Electro-Gravitic Theory (Forum) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... positive charge at the boundary. This would spread as a shell by electrical repulsion with a gradually increasing charge, peaking at intervals of approximately 11 years. The chunks of electrically charged matter break away and move towards the surface, expanding and becoming more buoyant. Some rise above the surface and are neutralised by free electrons and fall back by gravity, as can be clearly seen. Others escape from the Sun's gravitational field and form the well-known proton storms' (in NASA's words) frequently causing serious terrestrial disturbances. Wal assumes Laszlo's theory requires the whole core to be positively charged so that it could not be compressed sufficiently to produce nuclear reactions. In fact it would blow up ...
367. Orbital Changes [Books]
... the value of AD may be calculated by the equation AD2 = AB2 + AC2 + 2 AB. AC cos B (B-angle BAC). Each component is the geometrical difference between the resultant and the other component (fig. 3). 11. The plane of the ecliptic or ecliptic is the plane in which the Earth's centre of gravity (theoretically its geometrical centre) revolves round the Sun: it is thus the plane of the Earth's orbit. The Sun also turns round an axis of rotation and has an equatorial plane. The Sun's equatorial plane makes with the plane of the ecliptic an angle of 7 15'. The axis of rotation of the Earth is not ...
368. Rebuttal to Ellenberger [Articles]
... would have the same seasonal effects as now. If the tilt could be exactly that of the Earth at present, for instance, it would give exactly the seasonality. The problem of-Why do the planets not fall into one another, since they are relatively motionless with respect to one another? And, What keeps them apart, since the gravity between them does not disappear? is answered by the fact that they are magnetic and the magnetic repulsion keeps them apart. So, there is a balance between the magnetic repulsion among them and the gravitational attraction. Question: "Is that stable?" Yes. It can be shown that that is stable. It's very easy to ...
... N = 500, the batter misses the ball with one swing a few times. One begins to get the impression that Sagan's analysis can, and does have impossible results. Unlike "Casey at the Bat", Sagan's first appendix strikes out with one swing. Furthermore, Sagan's probability can only be calculated if we repeal the laws of gravity; since Venus has to move inside the Earth's Roche limit 5 or 6 times; according to Asimov, it must disintegrate at each close approach, but somehow maintain its integrity; that is, it must not disintegrate inside the Roche limit. The probability of Sagan's analysis being correct is zero. What then is wrong with Sagan's mathematical ...
370. Celestial Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... and Pluto) would revolve in orbits with predictable spaces between them just because of mathematics. Thus, in my opinion, Bode's Law and the Lagrange points must be the expressions of physical forces. Regarding these items as the result of physical forces, however, would mean that the Solar System could not simply be the product of inertia and gravity, a point of view which is heresy to orthodox astronomy. First of all, if Jupiter and Saturn had recently occupied a position closer to Earth, their change of orbit to their present location, in the Bode's Law sequence, would not have been instantaneous. They probably would have arrived where we find them at present via some ...
