... (prior to the disaster which put an end to the entire Asterian order).(61) This seeming contradiction can probably be exegetically resolved by differential interpretation. The Methuselahs of old may be regarded as individuals, who did indeed die but aged more slowly than we, perhaps because they suffered far less than we from the stresses of gravity.(62) Immortality, on the other hand, may be regarded as having characterized our species as a whole rather than the individuals who composed it. It may be objected that our species is, by definition, as deathless today as it was in the Golden Age. In a technical sense, this objection is of course ...
532. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... they are all Bobs: Bob Grubaugh, Bob Bass, and Bob Driscoll. Bob Grubaugh is an engineer with many years of professional experience in orbital calculations. He looked at some interesting possibilities dynamically, and has proposed ways to support the concept of polar alignment. Bob has suggested a collinear system of planets revolving around its own center of gravity synchronously with the system's movement around the Sun. (6 ) One of the interesting possibilities being explored by Grubaugh is a planetary system revolving retrogradely as the system moves progradely around the Sun- such that the line running through the participating planets continues to point to the same background star. In that case, no precession of the pole ...
533. L. Sprague de Camp: Anatomy of a Zetetic [Journals] [Kronos]
... " referred to earlier, was now left as an open question; and the "magnetic field needed to affect the earth's rotation " was considered insufficient for the task. De Camp once again erroneously assumed that "a near-miss [of planetary bodies], whether grazing or not, would bring both bodies within Roche's limit. Thereupon, simple gravity would disintegrate them into a cloud of fragments." [For problems relating to the Roche limit, the reader is referred to KRONOS II,3pp. 81-83.] In his concluding remarks, de Camp attempted to justify his attitude towards Worlds in Collision and suggested that "if he [Greenberg] wants to argue about Velikovsky, ...
534. The Personal Tragedy of Albert Einstein [Journals] [Kronos]
... discussed here is the scientific morality of those who insist that there shall be no alternative hypotheses permitted in nuclear science which question present dogma. Just why is physical theory so sacrosanct, when all other areas of science are subject to the very healthy stimulation and discipline of competing viewpoints and alternative hypotheses? REFERENCES 1.

... even the nature, of 90 percent of its material? (Anonymous; "The Extragalactic Ferment", Mosaic, 9:18-27, May/June 1978). PETROL CHANNELS ON MARS? The many channeis on Mars closely resemble terrestrial river beds. But Martian models that assume water to be the eroding agent encounter difficulties because the Martian gravity is too weak to hold hydrogen when water is dissociated by solar radiation. A better bet, say Y. L. Yung and J. P. Pinto, is liquid hydrocarbons; i.e ., petrol. Starting with a methane atmosphere, at one-tenth of an Earth atmosphere pressure, the natural loss of hydrogen would lead ...
536. Comets in Perspective: What the Comet Halley probes tell us [Journals] [Horus]
... rapidly. The rotation of the comet (in Halley's case, 2.2 days) is no longer sufficiently rapid to warm the comet evenly. The Sun-facing side of the comet erupts jets and fissures, seen with Earth telescopes, and this even produces a "rocket effect' which perturbs the comet from its helpless trajectory in the solar gravity. In Halley, between 25 to 60 tons per second of volatiles are evolved out of the nucleus at this stage. The surface temperature of Halley's nucleus has increased to 135 F., hardly an icy surface anymore. This prodigious efflux aids in the development of a new phenomenon: the tail. When the volatiles escape, the ...
537. On Saturn At the North Pole [Journals] [Aeon]
... not only not supported by any historical evidence, but apparently has not even been noticed as a problem by the northernists. * * * I said at the beginning of my discussion of the implications of Kepler's Third Law that this was all from a purely gravitational point of view. But even if other forces are thrown into the act, gravity does still operate. Whatever magic glue the northernists seek to use to hold Saturn and Earth in tandem, the effect of Kepler's First and Third Laws will be to put a constant and massive strain on the system. Throughout the long period of time that the polar configuration is supposed to have lasted, it would have to have fought ...
538. On Models and Scenarios [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the spiralling comet raises the question whether Venus may be still be experiencing a measurable loss of atmosphere today. Questions such as these abound and beg for further investigation. Physical Theory What will surely frustrate physicists and engineers is the concept of planets rotating on a shared axis- the one inescapable principle of the mythically-based imagery. To say that gravity and inertia are not anxious to cooperate in such a scheme is indeed an understatement- and many theorists will likely tear their hair at the suggestion that reconciliation is possible. It is therefore gratifying to see that, despite the difficulties, credible efforts are going forward to identify the forces that might have produced the remembered events. Though it ...
