... there is a fixed step in density across the sheath that maintains the required current ratio. . . ." (29) This approximation, however, is unlikely to be of help in evaluating the present hypothesis, since it was never intended for use outside the laboratory. In a real atmosphere, such as that of the Sun, gravity comes into play and tends to produce vast changes in density with changes in altitude. In the solar atmosphere, furthermore, complications arise from the fact that strong magnetic fields often are present - fields capable of moving or limiting the movements of ionized gases. Eddy remarks, on the basis of Skylab findings, that "in a layer ...
542. Thoth Vol I, No. 24: October 20, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... to 100,000 years collecting enough hydrogen from their companions to ignite an explosion. But T Pyxidis detonates several times a century. This nova has such a penchant for outbursts, astronomers believe, because its underlying star is about as massive as a white dwarf can get. A more massive white dwarf would collapse under the crushing force of gravity and become a neutron star or a black hole. Because of its high mass, T Pyxidis only needs to drain one part in 10 million of its companion's hydrogen (roughly the mass of our moon) to start an eruption. (The companion is a red dwarf, a small, cool, faint star.) This can ...
... the Talmud". (28) With less hyperbole, it also came to the attention of the editors of Nature. In the "Current Topics and Events" section of the June 28, 1924 issue, page 935, they speculated that: This new venture may well mark the beginning of a definite shift in the centre of scientific gravity. Such well-known continental names as Einstein, Levi-Civita, Landau, Loria, Bohr, Hadamard, Karman, to take a few at random, and a host of others, need merely be mentioned for it to be evident that if these investigators were to publish their work exclusively in Jerusalem, the contribution of Jewish workers to scientific knowledge ...
544. On Morrison: Some Further Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... . . ." Once again we find the exclusive assumption: Only impacts by meteorites may be credited with altering planetary surfaces in the absence of weathering and erosion. No consideration is given to the possibility that most or all of the rocky debris on the moon might have rained upon that body from the outside. Yet the moon's center of gravity is known to be dislocated from the geometric center of its body, and the regolith is known to be much deeper on the far side of the moon than on the near side. Both findings strongly suggest that downpours of rock and rubble have disfigured our satellite. Uniformitarian premises, however, disallow episodes of concentrated violence in solar-system history ...
545. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 10,000 years. Dr Bass points out that Newtonian celestial dynamics (orthodox celestial mechanics plus the effect of tidal friction) does not, as commonly supposed, preclude a Velikovskian scenario. This talk considers the implications of well-known orbital resonances for a catastrophic calendar, and introduces into the debate a novel, but hitherto little-known, theory of gravity which opens up fresh possibilities for the Velikovskian scenario. At the Duquesne History Forum mentioned above, signs of a truce in the hostilities between Velikovsky and the Establishment were clearly evident and some of the words spoken in his introduction by Ellis Rivkin (Adolph S. Ochs Professor of Hebrew History and Religion at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati ...
546. Part I: The Drift [Ragnarok] [Books]
... 3. Climate and Time, p282. CHAPTER 5. WAS IT CAUSED BY GLACIERS? What is a glacier? It is a river of ice, crowned by a weight of mountain-ice down into some valley, along which it descends by a slow, almost imperceptible motion, due to a power of the ice, under the force of gravity, to rearrange its molecules. It is fed by the mountains and melted by the rain. The glaciers are local in character, and comparatively few in number; they are confined to valleys having some general slope downward. The whole Alpine mass does not move down upon the plain. The movement downward is limited to these glacier-rivers. ...

... increased the velocity of Mars 3 percent, from 35.24 km/s to 36.30 km/s , increasing the period of Mars from 720 days to 903.7 days. What Woolfson's procedure forces one to see is that the perturbation of Mars during a flyby is so great that its orbit is changed analogously to the gravity slingshot in which a close encounter with a planet is used to change a space probe's heliocentric velocity/orbit. FIGURE 1 Woolfson's Procedure to Find Mars' post-flyby Velocity for 2484 B.C . Flyby: Illustrative Example (two illustrations) ve = AO = velocity of Earth, 30.0 km/s vm = BO = ...
548. The Blasted Career of the Mighty Swordsman [Books] [de Grazia books]
... would be the first disrupted area. But to overcome the resistant gravitation of these two points inwards upon their parent body is not all that is needed to cause material dislocation. At the protruding points, the chemical bonding of the material would have to be overcome. That is, a rock is self-contained hardly at all by its center of gravity, but is held together by the chemical ties among its molecules. Otherwise mountains would flow down to the sea like water. The Coprates complex exhibits the important qualities of the rilles of the Moon, which the electrical theory of Juergens appears to explain. The zig-zag eruptions (also explainable as "wobbling"), the sharp cleavages ...

550. Erratic Events in the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but it did indicate the possible resolution of other difficulties; i.e ., the eccentric paths of meteorites (if arising from ejection processes) and the anomalous' Babylonian tablet observations. Evidently, if Venus was formed in a Cosbod type process, then some factor or factors other than simple gravitational and electrical forces between the centres of gravity of the Sun and Cosbod must have been responsible for the final near-circular orbit. There are various possibilities. Tidal effects acting on a planet at the distance of Venus from the Sun would be similar on average to that of the Moon on the Earth and would be greatest at the nearest approach in an elliptical orbit. The effect is ...
