... two don't square at all." But Sagan's deviousness is still not exhausted; he now spreads a new layer of misrepresentation upon the previous layers. He makes up a non-existent response by Velikovsky to this non-existent discrepancy between the two non-existent intervals: "Velikovsky said, `Well, that's because you guys are just calculating on the basis of gravity, but there are other things which make comets move in different orbits, namely magnetic forces. But don't ask me, ' said Velikovsky, `to give you any details about this, suffice it to say that there is something. '" Velikovsky does indeed hold that comets are subject to influences other than gravity; so do ...
452. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... called "the godly gamesomeness" of porpoises. And he observed that some of the larger whales, like hump-backs, were, despite their bulk, amusingly playful creatures. The best explanation for the sportive good humor of aquatic mammals may well be that water affords them a buoyancy that their land-lubber cousins lack. The catastrophist consensus suggests that pre-catastrophic gravity was appreciably less than post-catastrophic gravity. If this is so, we may reasonably infer that the levity, both literal and behavioral, which all creatures enjoyed before "the fall" no longer sustained land mammals. Aquatic mammals, however, may be presumed to have retained that levity- or at least to have lost far less of ...
453. Formation of Chondritic Meteorites and the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and it is only the plasma itself which does not "understand" how beautiful the theories are and absolutely refuses to obey them .. .. ' It is for this reason, I believe, that the burden of explanation for all energetic events observed in the universe falls to Newton and his simple theory of that weakest of forces, gravity, which although mathematically tractable, leads to the somewhat weird idea of black holes' and the problem of missing mass', when applied uncritically. Fred Whipple seems to have recognised this situation when he wrote: Alfven's theory has great bearing on all hot plasmas in astronomy-stars, black holes, and even interstellar gases - but the theory ...
454. Intensity, Scope and Suddenness [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of deformation we see... It would seem that plastic creep, perhaps in the upper part of the mantle, is the active element, and the brittle crust on which we live is passively riding on this very slow flow. Of course, discernible forces arise from the rotation of the earth, from the tides, and from gravity acting differentially on irregularities in the crust and its surface topography, but these influences probably can do no more than modify and locally complicate what is probably the essential mechanism of crustal deformation - very slow plastic movements at about the level of the upper mantle. Shelton goes on the show why "this concept is attractive," why the ...
455. Interdisciplinary Indiscipline [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the passage in question [56] states: a moon is subject to an urge that drives it away from its primary.... The inertia or persistence of motion... ' Velikovsky demonstrably does not make the egregious error of regarding inertia as a force. His description is perfectly correct. And now the punch-line: "GRAVITY: All matter... attracts all other matter.... For instance, an object released in space 1600 kilometres from earth [why 1600?] is attracted by the earth, and moves towards it.... The moon, 384400 kilometres away, is also falling, but it has a motion of its ...
456. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... familiar variant of precession. Figure 5 David raises a very good point regarding the frictional effects arising from the precessional velocity q[dot]. An unstated simplifying assumption of Barger and Olsson's model is that the frictional force -mgM, is perpendicular to the ZOY plane. (m is the coefficient of sliding friction, g the acceleration due to gravity, and M the mass of the tippe top). In actual fact, the frictional force is not quite perpendicular to the ZOY plane. Since friction opposes the resultant of the f[dot] and q[dot] angular velocities, the slope of the deviation is in ratio to q[dot] (0 .98 ...

ABSTRACT: The Sun is inducing gravity without a corresponding quantity of mass. This phenomenon is brought about by a plasma in a magnetically unified state; a magnetically sustained non-space', an absolute vacuum held in place by the photospheric plasma shell. http://www.goodfelloweb.com/nature/cgbi/ ...

The ceraunia is exactly like a wedge. They generally have, where the equilibrium is (i .e . in the centre of gravity) a very round hole, one side of which is larger than the other as the holes that are made in hammers are. And as all these stones look like hammers, wedges, hatchets, plough-shares (socs ?) or similar instruments which have hobs for handles, some have thought that they were not the arrows (bolts ...
459. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... have come from somewhere, since he was not prepared to accept that they had been miraculously created by God, and the interior of the Earth seemed the most likely possibility. Other cosmogonists proposed systems similar to that of Burnet. In John Woodward's system, materials carried by or released from the waters of the Flood sedimented according to their specific gravities to form horizontal strata, which were later dislocated by depressions and elevations of unspecified origin to form the patterns his contemporaries could observe. William Whiston (1666-1753) who succeeded Isaac Newton in the chair of mathematics at Cambridge University, agreed with Burnet that some of the waters of the Flood had been released from the central Abyss, but ...

... suspect, the original ice dump interfaces with later climatological ice. A second trajectory of icy fragments would speed away from the earth-moon system and into interplanetary space. This might be expected for perhaps 15 to 25 percent of the fragments. A third trajectory of icy fragments, illustrated by Saturn's icy rings, began orbiting around the earth. If gravity were the only force acting upon them, they would settle around the earth's bulge zone, which is the Equator, where the small additional gravity is enough in the long run to perturb ring material into an equatorial orbit. However, the sun and its radiation are capable of electrically charging small particles. The charged icy particles then interacted ...
