... appearing merely as a" celestial object" in October for the first time as known to science and shooting past the earth at such close quarters that it looked as big as a moon? If so, where has it gone? If it had been a minor planet, if the orbits of planetary bodies are based on the law of gravity, whereby the weight of a planet determines the orbit it performs, how could a minor planet be careering along upon an orbit presumably equal to or greater than the earth's? It is astonishing, indeed, that any astronomer, let alone a man who holds the highest official position in Great Britain in the realms of astronomy, could ...
582. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... distance off center, thus overcoming the stabilizing effect of the earth's bulge and causing the globe to roll sideways to its direction of rotation. Although this bulge is important dynamically to the maintenance of the equilibrium of the globe and the formation of the earth strata, it is smaller in size than is generally realized. Limited by the force of gravity, equal and opposite in direction, the bulge has a maximum of about 623 miles at any point along the Equator, with an equal shortening at each pole. Since the best of ivory billiard balls warp from their tendency to absorb moisture, the earth is actually a truer sphere than a billiard bill, being true within about one-sixth ...

... 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 far ...

... ricochet at more than escape velocity and be lost to Earth although making a vector contribution to its rotational momentum. Thus the 1370 million cubic kilometres of water in Earth's seas and oceans today are not an index of the quantities that may have been involved. It is of interest to note that a watery ellipsoid drawn out into a filament by gravity could look to a terrestrial observer like a waterskin - or bottle of Heaven' about to pour some of its contents onto Earth [3 ]. Quote 3: If a bulge formed it is unlikely to have disappeared considering that Earth is still rebounding from the effects of the last ice age. The artificial satellites that have measured the ...

... , if it ever is. We would, therefore, welcome any help in getting the test we propose carried out in space. On this test, we will rest our case. It is important to point out that the test is not only to validate or invalidate Electro-Gravitic theory, but it is also a test of whether or not gravity is the sole force responsible for celestial motions. Those truly dedicated to science should welcome this crucial experiment respecting this astrophysical question. The validity of a scientific theory cannot be decided on paper by physical equations. As V. A. Firsoff stated: Mathematics is a wonderful tool of the mind, but it has its limitations. Mathematical ...

... it that Velikovsky claims Venus interacted with earth and may have gotten some delta-v from that interaction. That's fine, but it's not possible for ANY delta-v received in EARTH's orbit to lead to a body settling down in Venus' orbit. [Amy replies] A plasma interaction between closely approaching planets could have wielded so much delta-v and delta-g (gravity changes) and delta-m (mass changes) that the orbital outcome of any interaction is mathematically unpredictable. {By the way, such interactions would have left fragmented magnetic anomalies like those discovered on the moon by the Apollos and last week on Mars by Surveyor.} [Rob again] At BEST, this might lead to an elliptical ...
587. Thoth Vol II, No. 19: Nov 30, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Earth without shattering and they mutter! Tell them that with an electric universe' it did happen and they will walk away making their excuses. We have to recognise, and accept, that the only way we can break through their barrier is by proving that all the events that we KNOW happened fit neatly in a scientific world based on gravity, mass, evolution and uniformity. We know that just cannot be done. All our debates on how to present our ideas within their sacred cows are futile. Our framework of ideas are completely unacceptable...no matter what format we devise. They have too much at stake to even consider the possibility that we might just ...
... the time will emerge when a new epoch is ushered in, with new lands and seas amid all the violent phenomena we have already witnessed; the world will augment its weight and size, adopt an axis to counterbalance any inequality of weight which may be more acute than the present, and enlarge its orbit in accordance with the law of gravity. ...

... can be deduced from even a single boulder. Dropped in the mud of the sub-arctic Weddell Sea, a boulder would be an ice-rafted product of water, ice, or avalanche, all processes consistent with uniformitarianism. "Put a similar rock without the signs of glacial mauling on a plain or plateau where its arrival cannot be recognized as a gravity induced process, and a geological enigma presents itself in confrontation to uniformity, thus creating a challenge to geological ingenuity. "Whether one accepts the challenge is, of course, predicated mainly on whether one is willing to look closely at the facts. Many will not do this, preferring the one solution-fits-all prescription that uniformity provides. This ...
590. Reviewing Velikovsky'S Venus And Mars Theories [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... famous three laws of planetary motions. In his time, almost all scholars and clergy in Central Europe rejected his paradigm. ' In the 20th century, most historians of science consider Kepler to be the father of modern science. is findings were essential to Isaac Newton, who added three more laws, and who first discovered the rinciple of gravity. First Copernicus, then Kepler, and then Newton; all became famous in science for a ages. Kepler discovered, contrary to Copernicus, that all planetary orbits are ellipses, not circles. It seems that the famed Copernicus, like Velikovsky, was a paradigm creator, whose paradigms were partly; correct but not entirely so. ...
