... the proposed type of inversion motion - an inflated beach ball spinning on smooth water. Primary spin is imparted via an inflation valve stem, which defines x1 and at the start is uppermost, lying along OZ. Any deflection of this stem about an equatorial axis (x3) results in a couple about x3 due to the downward pull of gravity on the stem, and the upward thrust of the water's buoyancy through O, the ball's centre. The resultant torque, acting solely about x3, is the only torque acting on the spinning ball except for the viscous drag of the water (which plays no part in the inversion itself, but opposes the spin and eventually brings the ...
552. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ]. Briefly - though the authors do not explain this - the point is that meteorites and so presumably meteoritic dust contain relatively large amounts of iridium (and certain other elements) compared to crustal rocks. This is presumed to be due to the migration of elements in large, differentiated parent bodies, asteroids and the Earth respectively, where gravity and heat are available. An informed guess as to the nature of a meteorite parent body is a stony sphere at least hundreds of kilometres in diameter [90]. Thus the Earth's sub-crustal material sometimes shows iridium enhancement, consistent with volcanic theories. Later [91] Clube and Napier state that iridium-enhanced dust in polar ice cores is ...
553. Much Ado about Tippe Top (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... the assumptions in Warlow's model to which no objections were raised before that model was found inadequate. When a non-rigid body analysis is presented, Slabinski will probably analyze it as well. However, given the extremely large torque impulses required to affect the Earth, it is unlikely that relaxing the rigid body assumption would help matters appreciably in a pure gravity model. In addition, such refinements might not be necessary once electricity and magnetism are quantified in the problem. If, as Dr. Dunthorn thinks, the comments by Slabinski and me were esoteric, then we failed in making this important topic understandable to non-technical readers. That was not our intent. Hopefully, this present discussion has ...
554. Chapter 14 Agronomy and Climatology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... system of artificial groundwater drainage . . . This can be achieved by digging and maintaining open ditches, or by installing sectioned or perforated pipes in the subsoil. In either case, an outlet must be provided for disposing of the excess groundwater and thus preventing the water table from rising . . . Where the topography does not facilitate disposal by gravity, pumping must be provided. "Even where a drainage system is installed, there remains the problem of how to dispose of the brackish [salty] drainage water. Dumping it back into the river merely salinizes the water supply for users downstream. Ultimately, the brackish drainage water must be led to the sea (which may be ...
555. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... expression. This is not so much a puzzle, you would explain, as a misunderstanding: phlogiston is the principle of fire, you see, not an insoluble substance: metals all contain this principle (which is why incidentally they have so many properties in common). When the corpuscles of metals are imbued with phlogiston the effect of gravity is lessened . . . You would I dare say, have been able to ward off all comers with such explanations. Nothing would force you to change sides. (Nothing ever forced Priestly.)"19 The point of significance is that the historians of the ancient Near East may be constitutionally incapable of looking at the chronology from ...
556. Golden Age Canopy by Isaac Vail [Books]
... That the "great deep" was on high. "The idea that the deep' referred to in Genesis was the terrestrial ocean must be abandoned." "A body of exterior waters skirting the atmosphere, having its motion gradually diminished, would gradually descend toward the earth and must have spread to the poles by the mere force of gravity in the torrid and temperate zones there would have been a prolonged down rush of waters but at the poles a down rush of snow. The animals in the warmer regions would be drowned and carried away by the retreating waters. Those in the polar regions would be suddenly entombed in snow. After more than a quarter of a century ...
... which would seem to be a more strik ing violation of this same law of gravitation. The first is the case of the supposed feeding of mountain springs from, the sea, which Schiaparelli insists was considered as occur ring through subterranean channels only. Re specting this he says: "That the lower waters should overcome the laws of natural gravity, and rise again from subterranean depths to the surface, was considered as a result of the omnipotence of God (Amos 5. 8)." This is on 1 Hebrew scholars do not all agree that by "the waters above the firmament" (Gen. 1. 7) rain-water is meant. Keerl, for example ...
558. Thoth Vol IV, No. 1: Jan 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... sub-Brown Dwarf like Jupiter or Saturn. So let's examine a second major plank of standard theory - that we understand where planets come from. The nebula theory of the origin of planets is so problematic that it only survives because no one has been able to come up with a better idea. A many-body system controlled by a single force, gravity, is inherently unstable and should fly to pieces. In an Electric Universe the model is simple. Planets are "born" from stars in a descending hierarchy of size by the highly efficient expedient of electrical splitting of an unstable positively charged core. That is why the majority of stars have partners. It explains why many of the ...
559. The Youthful Planet Venus [Articles]
... it normally would. This, it appears, is what some .would call irrational science-to do away with erosion. However, Venus also suffers from the same problem of rheology found on the Moon. As was pointed out above, the high regions on the Moon should have flattened to the surface billions of years ago. Venus' surface gravity is about six times greater than that of the Moon, and its surface temperature is 750 degrees C all the time, which is over six times greater that on the Moon's surface at its equator during the hottest period where the Moon's hemisphere faces the Sun. Some scientists have drawn the analogy of the viscous creep of Venusian rock to ...
560. Planetary Observations of the T'ang [Articles]
... material, I do note that T'ang observations within approximately the same timeframe, 830 to 903, are mostly within the expected parameters of retrocalculation (the expected paper in Aeon should make this clearer). OTHER EVIDENCE After highlighting these planetary positional anomalies, let me now return to my purpose, which is to present evidence that forces other than gravity may have affected the Solar System. Because of time limitations, what follows will be a bare outline of this evidence. As the T'ang observations suggested, these forces may have played themselves out during apparent planetary conjunctions, that is, during periods of certain planetary alignments. A suspicion of the existence of such forces and their manifestation during ...
