... of intellectual movement, which, it is submitted, have not been as well explored as is generally believed. DETAILED EXPOSITION OF THE PROJECT A number of elements composed the U paradigm as it emerged victorious from its centuries of struggle with catastrophism, as the C paradigm is often called: time and space are absolute; the Newtonian laws of gravity and motion govern natural events rigidly; the heavens are constant and the universe is orderly; they operate through measurably equal units of time and through measurably equal coordinates of space; time is long and uninterrupted by sudden leaps; the surface of the earth has accumulated its features over long eons of time; nor are sudden leaps found in ...
512. The Stationary Period of the Satellites [Books]
... the terrestrial waters had all been drawn together into two great tide hills, the gravitational, or zenithal, tide hill, and the diametrically opposite centrifugal, or nadiral, tide hill. The former was caused directly by the satellite's pull, the latter was due to the fact that the Earth and its satellite revolved round a common centre of gravity which was situated outside the Earth's actual centre. Because of this eccentric movement considerable centrifugal forces were engendered on the side of the Earth which was turned away from the satellite, and the waters thus gathered caused the nadiral tide hill. The zenithal water and air tide hills covered a smaller area and were higher; the nadiral covered a ...
513. Snapshots of the Gods? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... shown. The poles repel each other and the area left by the repelled lines of force appears cruciform. This configuration is a variation of the trism. Here two forces seem to oppose each other, their interaction inspiring myth. At the end of the opus, a cruciform peace' between the opposites appears, as some attractive force like gravity balances the magnetic forces. This could be the celestial cross appearing at Jesus' crucifixion and repeated in medieval annals. 2. Not Your Garden Variety - the Spatter' Fig. 11 Spatters Fig. 12 Rhodes plate Certain floral and astral patterns appear in ancient art world wide, either as little asterisks, or evolving into stranger looking ...
514. Ancient History Revisions: the Last 25 years - a Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... undermining the traditional Biblical date for the formation of the planet. Archbishop Ussher defended the Biblical date of around 4000BC, while many others, including William Whiston, who translated the works of Josephus, argued for a much longer chronology [3 ]. Sir Isaac Newton was apparently more interested in the conundrums of ancient history than the laws of gravity. He wrote a revision of ancient history and was very dismissive of the works of Manetho and Berossus, which he regarded as chronologically quite unreliable. Interest in Egyptology rocketed after Napoleon and his savants brought the world of ancient Egypt to the attention of the early 19th century western world. Scholars from many countries, along with treasure hunters ...
515. Back to Instantaneous Polar Shifts [Journals] [Aeon]
... somewhat to the surface, so the torque was less impulsive. With the pellet striking at latitude c. 60-degN, I achieved one turn of c. 25-deg, but in this case the pellet effectively stayed in contact with the surface over a significant angle of turn, so that the ball behaved as if being turned by the valve under gravity. In general, "glancing" impacts around latitude 20-deg-30-degN produced insignificant turns, rarely amounting even to 5-deg. However, the "model" was very artificial. The ball had quite a low mass (326 gm) even with its foil band. Nevertheless, the pellet (mass c. 5 gm) was equivalent to an ...
516. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... They are one of the great shaping forces of the universe' but explaining them is a daunting task. Young stars have powerful jets of material flung outward by sweeping magnetic fields, forming giant lobes on either side, similar to the lobes of hot plasma seen near active galaxies such as quasars, yet this presents problems for current cosmology because gravity should be counteracting the outward flow. An electric universe would solve most of their problems. Magnetic Sun New Scientist 1.7 .00, p. 16, 5.8 .00, pp. 36-39, Washington Post 11.10.97 Explanations for what causes solar flares are many. Recent observations support the pressure cooker ...
517. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... Mars. The energy of motion of the ice chunks or fragments were instantly converted into heat energy. The ices melted, evaporated and recondensed as sudden celestial water. The waters flowed downhill, and gathered into great, turbid, roily, rampaging rivers. Some of its rivers rampaged at 35 miles an hour on a planet with one-third the gravity at its surface as the Earth. One river formed a lake, and broke the dam. It outflowed in the manner of rivers when dams break, and its width was 40 miles, half the width of the Amazon River. In some cases, the rivers flowed across one side of a crater, filled it up, and ...
518. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... Pole [by] a continent so great that with the southern parts of Asia, and the new India or America, it should be a weight equal to the other lands." [26] As his biographer, Walter Ghim, put it: "It could not be less in its geometric proportions, size, weight, and gravity than the other two [the Old World and the Americas], otherwise the world would be unable to remain balanced on its axis." [27] Schematic world map from a 15th century edition of Macrobius Half a century earlier, Copernicus had argued in his De Revolutionibus that, although the distribution of land and sea was irregular ...

... found in the Sun and then in the solar system as a whole and then among the stars, does present a new challenging problem for astrophysics. .. the next thing to suggest is that a fundamental aspect of the physics of gravitation is not yet understood(?)." I suggest that the problem has nothing to do with gravity. Instead, problems arise because incorrect gravitational models are used in astrophysics. The correct electrical models are much simpler and can be verified by direct observations instead of inferences about the hidden interiors of stars. As outlined in THOTH VII-4 article and Thornhill's May 2003 holoscience news item about planet formation, and in an Aug 2001 article about neutrinos ...

... really" happening heliocentrically. But they, too, are missing a lot: The stars don't follow gravitational orbits around the galaxy. You can never come up with a workable theory of plasma behavior by studying the inverse-square forces of central point-masses. Conceptually, geocentrism is one-dimensional: It's a kinetic viewpoint with the dimension of motion. Heliocentrism and gravity are two-dimensional concepts: They provide a dynamic viewpoint with dimensions of motion and force. But the understanding of plasma requires a viewpoint that accounts for persistently-interacting assemblages, adding the dimensions of instability and historicity. The collapse of geocentrism was foreshadowed by the proliferation of preposterous epicycles. As more epicycles were added to explain some new observations, the ...
