... everything" by Paul Davies. He writes, "the outline of a grand cosmic scheme is discernible, and those at the cutting edge of research are unashamedly exhilarated." I, along with a growing number of physicists, remain unashamedly skeptical of astrophysical theories that appeal to unseen matter, invisible black holes and the weakest force known, gravity, to explain the amazing universe. As the Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Cornell University wrote on the subject, "never judge the strength of foundation by size of building." Professor Harry Collins, co-author of The Golem: What everyone should know about science; says that "the odd thing is that among the confused consumers of ...
572. The Life of Flavius Josephus - Autobiography [Books]
... those that were their own hostages with Gessius to Dora, which is a city of Phoenicia, as often as they pleased; though I still found the inhabitants of Tiberias ready to take arms, and that on the occasion following: - 9. There were three factions in this city. The first was composed of men of worth and gravity; of these Julius Capellus was the head. Now he, as well as all his companions, Herod the son of Miarus, and Herod the son of Gamalus, and Compsus the son of Compsus; (for as to Compsus's brother Crispus, who had once been governor of the city under the great king [Agrippa] ( ...
573. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... account for the variety of deformation we see... Plastic creep, perhaps in the upper part of the mantle, is the active element, and the brittle crust on which we live is passively tiding 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. One notices an absolute indifference to exoterrestrial forces and to their high energy expressions of ...
574. Flavius Josephus Against Apion Book 1 [Books]
... as witnesses for me, for to them I presented those books first of all, and after them to many of the Romans who had been in the war. I also sold them to many of our own men who understood the Greek philosophy; among whom were Julius Archelaus, Herod [king of Chalcis], a person of great gravity, and king Agrippa himself, a person that deserved the greatest admiration. Now all these men bore their testimony to me, that I had the strictest regard to truth; who yet would not have dissembled the matter, nor been silent, if I, out of ignorance, or out of favor to any side, either had ...
575. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 83, p.494 A team from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena have been analyzing six years' worth of range measurements from Earth to the Viking landers on Mars, data from the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter, radar range measurements of Mercury and Venus, and lunar laser range measurements. The object was to detect stretching of orbits as gravity weakens, but they have not found any effect greater than 0.2x1011 parts per year, and this is consistent with there having been no change in G at all in the six years.

576. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... gravitation only. But if there is a constant charge on the Sun and a constant charge on the planets and there was no variation in that charge of any appreciable value over a million years, then that is just the same as a slight change in the mass of the planet or the Sun, if you assume a fixed value for gravity. All you are saying is there is no evidence there is a change in charge of any appreciable amount over that time, and I am saying there might have been a sporadic incident, which is a catastrophe, lasting, say, 10.000 years only when there would have been a charged body erupting into the Solar System ...

578. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Separation of Gases and Isotopes in Polar Ice Caps," by H. Craig, Y. Horibe and T. Sowers, pp. 1675ff. What will be absolutely clear to the objective reader of this article is that the atmospheric gases left in deposited layers [of snow] do not remain in those layers. Rather, due to gravity, they are diffused downward, tending to accumulate on top of more dense layers or ice below. The accumulating firn [ice-snow granules] acts like a giant columnar sieve through which the gravitational enrichment can be maintained by molecular diffusion. At a given borehold, the time between the fresh fall of new snow and its conversion to nascent ...
... prodigious, and caused considerable cold for a limited period. The change in climate-the "extraordinary change" as says Mr. Whitney- which followed this catastrophe can be explained by the effects of the enormous additional weight which the cometary body deposited, what Donnelly terms "continental masses", for the terrestrial orbit round the sun is adjusted by gravity based on its specific weight. The result was that 5 days were added to the previous year of 360 days, as to which a simple computation shows that an additional deposit was equal to 0.00273 of its previous weight and thus compelled our planet by the law of gravitation to enlarge its orbit accordingly. Such a recession from ...
... as in historical times it has expanded; that instead of being drawn into the sun at some period of its existence as certain astronomers state so easily, it is in the course of ages receding from the sun as it expands in size, which accretions cause it to do, it is from the sun in accordance with the laws of gravity require a body to perform an orbit corresponding to its size and weight; it claims that the earth was originally smaller, closer to the sun, as for example when the race of the great humans and reptiles first evolved in far different climatic conditions than that of our time; and that through the ages the earth has predictably extended ...
