402. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to its poles had already led old-Greek researchers to assume that our earthly star had been hurled from its former, straight position by some external body; in fact, Anaxagoras taught that the stars had originally revolved straight in the celestial firmament, so that the pole stood exactly on top of the zenith of the earth. The earth's point of gravity must have been disrupted by the collisions of the two disturbed heavenly bodies Hesperus and Phaethon, and especially by the former's change of orbit and all subsequent radical changes in the internal equilibrium equations of the planets in our solar realm, and its former position with respect to the pole had to be altered twice.[10] For the ...
403. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... is about 2270 The spectrum is of the Sirian type, and, according to the Potsdam observers, the star is approaching us at the rate of 18.5 miles a second. In 1895 Belopolsky announced that the larger star, like Spica, is a spectroscopic binary, completing its revolution in less than three days around the centre of gravity between it and an invisible companion, with a velocity of about 15 ½ miles a second. Burnham thinks that the 9.5 magnitude star, 73' distant, forms, with the two larger, one vast physical system. In 1888 Barnard found five new nebulae within 1o of Castor. b, 1.1 , orange, ...
404. Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages [Articles]
... Ice Age occurred. Now that was a very simplistic idea, life starts to get complicated from there on in. This is based of course on the historical evidence that says there is precession of the equinoxes, but meanwhile, mathematicians have been beavering away at the Theory of the Solar System, following Newton's conclusion that everything was driven by gravity, and people promptly sat down and said, OK, it's all driven by gravity, let's see if we can calculate what should be happening, what's going to happen, and what happened in the past. Here we have the Sun, in the middle of the System, and we have a series of bodies moving round in ...
... they could only have been subjected to a short and incomplete heat process before Ejection. There are two general classes of lava recognised (with certain subdivisions), the one felspathic and the other basaltic. In the endeavour to reconstitute a volcanic eruption to its proper origin it is necessary to examine to some extent these various lavas. The specific gravity of felspar rock to the basaltic rocks such as hornblende or titaniferous iron, is on an average (says Scrope) in the proportion of 4 to 5. Felspar: (a ) Felspar with occasional quartz crystals and more frequently mica, and containing some 6~ per cent of silica, is denominated trachyte. (b ) Common ...
406. The Goddess of the Stones and the Charged Cosmic Body [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... spherical shapes and if combined with the rotation of a cosmic body, additional orbital deflecting forces are produced. The space surrounding planets is not completely empty, so there are small resistive forces, and in addition there are very minor propulsive forces due to the solar wind and radiation pressure. These are negligible compared with the normal' force of gravity, but they have a cumulative effect which might be important in relation to orbital stability over many centuries. Electrical and magnetic forces A far larger factor causing minor deviations may be the result of electromagnetic forces. Planets with a magnetic field are influenced by the solar magnetic field and current flow in the solar atmosphere, but this is likely ...
407. Encounters and Collisions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the intruder upon impact would raise a column of vapor and debris that easily could measure one thousand miles in diameter at the base, and possibly larger at the top after the fashion of the atom bomb explosions. This column might tower something like five thousand miles above the earth, the higher particles doomed to float out beyond the reach of gravity for all time... the energy of the collision we have pictured is so great, that but 2 to 3 per cent of the total would be required to evaporate completely the meteorite and its equal in weight of the earth's crust. Therefore the column above the collision area may take on the function of a fractionating column for ...
408. Velikovsky and Venus: A Preliminary Report on the Pioneer Probes [Journals] [Kronos]
... simple message to Hoffman and Harvard physicist Michael McElroy, who were ensconced in Mountain View. Emanuel Velikovski was right about Venus, ' the telegram read. " I haven't read anything by Velikovski, ' Hoffman said, but I believe he wrote a book saying Venus was not part of the solar system and that it was somehow captured by gravity. I think he might be a kook' " (DMN, Ibid.). In reporting on the argon-36 discovery, John Noble Wilford of the New York Times, repeated the canard: "Dr. [Richard] Hodges [also of the University of Texas] made a joke, suggesting that perhaps the mission had proved ...

... and Neptune". A Pioneer principal investigator, John Anderson of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was quoted to the effect that "there is no evidence yet of a trans-Neptunian planet, but additional analysis is required before the presence of a star is ruled out". Since this comment is at odds with (1 ) the evidence presented by the gravity gradient (relative perturbations on Neptune and Uranus) and (2 ) the dearth of "new" comets with hyperbolic orbits (with planetary perturbations compensated), the writer asked Anderson why additional analysis is required before the presence of a star is ruled out (Letter, July 16, 1983). References in the professional journals about ...
410. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - I [Journals] [Kronos]
... 3. The space between Aster and Earth was not visually empty but perceptibly filled by a glowing "world-axis", through which a stream of health-giving energy was felt to flow. 4. At least on its Asterian side (which, because of a rotational lock, never turned away from Aster), Earth did not constitute the "gravity well" that it now does. Instead, particularly atop its Aster-ward bulge, it was characterized by literal levity. In addition, it may be that the energy stream in the world-axis flowed in both directions, with the result that, in certain locations, objects (including human bodies) could "float" upwards. 5. ...
