... base of the lithosphere, dragging it along. But could it be that the pressure of the molten material rising at the oceanic ridges is sufficient to force the ocean floor to spread apart? Or could it be that the slight slope of the ocean floor is enough to allow motion of the floor away from the ridges under the effect of gravity? Then again, could it be that the mass of a cold slab of oceanic lithosphere descending into the interior of a subduction zone is sufficient to drag the more horizontal parts of the lithosphere along and down with it? For the time being these rather crucial questions are unanswerable. Whatever verdict scientists reach in the end, however, ...
382. Aeon Volume VI, Number 5: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... itself, has not yet provided an explanation concerning the origin of matter and energy, it is now being touted, even if only by a few, as the origin of cosmic bodies. All major structures in the Universe are now being theorized to have formed out of initially homogeneous clouds of plasma under the influence of electromagnetic forces in which gravity, if at all, plays only a minor role. Plasma filaments tend to attract and twist around each other to form a helix. Known as plasma vortices, these structures are actually self-sustaining. More than that, pinches in these vortices result in the creation of blobs of matter which are now being touted as the providers of a ...

384. The 360 Day Year: Science and Humanities [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... difficult to get around. Newton added to our understanding of it by analyzing the earth's orbital motion as a tangential velocity and an attraction between the earth and the sun. The former might be changed by interaction with Mars, but if so a change of orbit should result. The only way Dirkzwager could be correct is if, coincidentally, gravity increased in strength in proportion to the increased orbital velocity. I speak here of the universal gravitational constant, so that not only the earth would be affected. If this were logically followed through, all manner of orbital changes of the planets would be involved. Here on earth mankind would suddenly find life harder indeed: Patten's latest theory ...

... hills which deposited the material of the strata. In the northern half of the figure-eight track of the satellite-controlled zenithal tide hill, the waters milled from south-west to north-east, while in the northern half of the figure-eight track of the nadiral tide hill, which was caused by the swing of the system Earth, satellite round its common centre of gravity, the waters flowed in exactly the opposite direction, from north-east to south-west. This, and this alone, was the cause of the peculiar cross-bedding. On the whole, there was still very little tectonic or volcanic activity during that period. When the satellite eventually slipped its anchorage again, it moved on till it came to another ...
386. Angels & Catastrophism - Some Theological Implications - Part I [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , but nonetheless real way, the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thus, even in medieval times, the spiritual guiding role of the angels was still valid. However, the advent of Sir Isaac Newton and his confreres dealt a death blow to this role of the angels since the discovery of the laws of inertia, gravity and centrifugal force made this particular role of the angels superfluous. Angels were no more needed to move the planets than God was needed to install a rainbow in the sky. If the primitive identification of angels with planets and the later speculation of the Schoolmen were the sole heritage passed down about the angels, then the word angel' ...

... which would fit the data on the tablets with only such minor changes? Roy: Yes; but until you've found a way of linking up the "snapshots" there is no justification for assuming that these bodies move from one particular mode to another; and it's only if Bob here comes up with something new - like Cook's theory of gravity - and finds that it is accepted as flawless by the acknowledged experts in the field that one can say that there are significant pieces of the jigsaw to be dealt with. \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0601to3\80tomb.htm ...
388. Ice Caps, Continental Shift and the Break up of Pangaea [Journals] [SIS Review]
... bottom, i.e . at the level of compressive failure of granite. Under the hot aqueous and catalytic rock environment this dead matter forms oil and water fairly rapidly, with the latter removed by insolubility in oil. Chemical separation of oil and water from the dead matter is exothermic and occurs spontaneously in the hot water saturated rock. Gravity and heat are thus the driving forces for this cycle of continuous burial and conversion of dead sea matter into oil and water, slurried in salt water to flow under the crust, then upward into suitable separate traps for products, oil and water. In fact, this could be nature's way of protecting the deep sea environment for the ...
389. Making Sense of Astronomy and Geology by Dirk Bontes (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... planets formed by accretion from the remnant of the gas and dust cloud that formed the Sun' What are we to make of this on p. 82: The magnetic force is (1036) times stronger than the magnetic force. '? I think the last two words should be gravitational force' but as the paragraph does not mention gravity this is uncertain. Specialists may find interest in chap. 23 Mars' and chap. 24 Magnetic polarity reversals and the ends of the ice ages' but to me they give little sense of geology. I feel MSAG would be improved if they were removed and retitled Making sense of astronomy'. In a publication of this type ...
390. Thera and the Exodus: the Cause and the Effect [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ). This last consists of tiny broken concave fragments of volcanic glass bubbles made of silicate material. These can be ejected to a great height together with the eruption gases. Carried away laterally by winds, they are washed out of the atmosphere by condensation of steam from the eruption column, or returned to the surface by the pull of gravity. Obviously, the large, heavy, dense, particles trace only a low trajectory before falling back very quickly, creating complete obscurity. Lighter and finer particles travel the greatest distance but cause the least darkening. Atmospheric effects and colourful sunsets are attributed to gas molecule aerosols in the stratosphere spreading round the world. Even in broad daylight ...
