... to a depth of 200 kilometers, if the composition were homogeneous but moderately high in concentrations of aluminum and calcium (about 10 percent). Wood believes that if a melt occurred down to at least 150 kilometers, such a crust could differentiate out through crystal fractionation. In crystal fractionation, the crystals forming in a magma have different specific gravities than the surrounding liquid and the lighter crystals (such as plagioclase) go to the top and the heavier to the bottom. Wood would have the outer portion of the moon melt from the heat of rapid accretion. But, he says, "The picture of a vast magma ocean on the surface of the early moon is an ...
372. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... do Herculean tasks, such as pulling moons out of Marduk as he passes Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter and out of Tiamat during Marduk's first passage [pp. 200-203]. Since distances and masses are never specified, and the bodies were presumably in a plastic state, this is difficult to challenge on grounds other than plausibility. However, gravity was supposedly responsible for the Noachian Flood dated at 13,000 B.P . The Nefilim decided to destroy mankind by withholding their knowledge that the next passage of Marduk would dislodge the increasingly unstable Antarctic icecap [a warming trend had begun], triggering immense tidal waves and violent storms [pp. 357 & 359]. This ...
373. Cosmic Catastrophism And Palaeomagnetism [Books]
... AND REFERENCES 1. Horizontal component H of the geomagnetic field (fig. 15). If the magnet NS turns freely in the uniform geomagnetic field (at a given point) on the Earth's surface, it is subjected to a couple of forces (Hl and Ha) which make it turn in a horizontal plane around its centre of gravity O, till the forces Hl and H2 are in opposite direction, annulling each other. The magnet is then aligned in the geomagnetic field. Either force Hl or H$ represents the horizontal component H of the field. Vertical component V and Strength R of the field (fig. 16). When the magnet NS, free ...
374. Thoth Vol VII, No 4: Jun 15, 2003 [Journals] [Thoth]
... that the most efficient (and Nature is nothing if not efficient) method to accrete matter over cosmic distances is that of the electromagnetic "pinch effect" caused by parallel electric current filaments in plasma. The electromagnetic accretion force diminishes slowly with distance from the filament axis, rather than rapidly with the square of the distance as we find with gravity. The result is condensed, rotating objects strung along the dusty current filaments. The spin axes of stars formed in this manner are aligned with the filaments. Such alignments have been discovered in groups of stars. FROM THE NATURE ARTICLE The main rival theory, which also surfaced in the 1960s, avoids this problem. Known as the ...
375. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... down the lips of the concavity. LUNAR CONFORMITIES TO ERUPTION The chemical composition of the Moon associates it with the inner planets. However, its surface is a melt to a considerable depth, if not entirely. It lacks the granite cover of the Earth. Moreover, analysis of samples returned by the Apollo expeditions and of the Moon's specific gravity reveal a general composition resembling the crust and upper mantle of the Earth [17]. A core of metal is probably absent. "How does one get a 65-kilometer-thick crust that is 50 to 85 percent plagioclase without melting most of the moon? And if melting occurred, how could the moon's interior be relatively cool today (800 ...
376. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and they repented not to give him glory.[Revelation 16:8-9] The heat of the sun can be intensified by material coming from the universe and added to the sun's gases. But the presence of a comet in the planetary system of the sun can also cause a change in the balance of electrical charge, magnetism, and gravity responsible for the distances between sun, planets, and other elements of the solar system. When the earth will gain an orbit nearer to the sun it will receive more heat. We can compare this with Isaiah 30:26; the fulfillment of both prophecies can be synchronized. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the ...
377. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... - W. G. Shannon, Edinburgh COMMENT by Ragnar Forshufvud The theory referred to by Mr Shannon may seem attractive, but until someone works it out into a theoretical model with quantities specified it can only be regarded as a supposition, and as such it is difficult to evaluate. A serious drawback seems to be that it leaves terrestrial gravity unexplained. I hope that this comment will not cause readers to think that the editorial team of Workshop is conformistic, or anti-Velikovskian. I do believe that ideas should be evaluated on the basis of their merits. \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\vol0503\34letts.htm ...
378. Caliban & Sycorax: Names for Icy Moons of Uranus [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the solar system. Since the newly discovered moons are likely to have been captured by Uranus soon after its formation, the Nature article notes, "their physical properties may provide clues to conditions in the early solar system." The process of capture could have taken two forms, Nicholson says. The moons could have been trapped by Uranus gravity as they came close to the planet. Another theory, is that in the early days of the solar system Uranus might have been surrounded by a gaseous nebula that would have caused a drag on the objects' movement as they came close to the planet. To see images of the two newly discovered moons of Uranus, go to ...
379. Mercury and the Tower of Babel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Thoth is reproached for having invented writing. Having invented writing, the Egyptians of a later age, although they could read what was written, they could not understand it. See Plato, Phaedrus, 274-5. Errata We regret a mistake in the AGM Report in Workshop 5:1 , p. 2. Relating to Cook's theory of gravity the technical term ought to have been "the Debye shielding length" and not "the byelength" as reported. Please note correction to Eric Crew's letter in Workshop 4:4 , p. 34: the figure given as "5 .4 " (times the lunar tides) should read instead "1 .6 " - ...
380. Continental Tropism and Rafting [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The post-catastrophic process is followed by a rapid relocation of the continents and reencrustment of the globe. The continents were not "just drifting"; they "were going somewhere." A.L . du Toit was veering toward reality when he offered in his early (1937) book, Our Wandering Continents, the idea of a "gravity slide," the creeping of continental masses toward rimming geosynclinal depressions. He gave at the same time perhaps too much encouragement to the idea of thermally driven currents in the mantle. These were, as we may establish, an accessory after the fact. When F. Tuzo Wilson, reviving du Toit, and the spirit of Plato's ...
