... shy away from the idea and will probably never be able to accept reality. It was suggested that most people don't even accept the current ideas of potential asteroid impacts, viewing these cynically as just a means to procure funding for research projects. Ideas of catastrophes greater than mere impacts won't even be thought unless astronomers are prepared to abandon their gravity only' universe and accept some role for electricity. David Salkeld acknowledged that at least we had benefited from the technological breakthroughs which had allowed sensors to investigate the Solar System. He suggested that we hold our last conference on the eve of the next catastrophe and try to derive some pleasure from being able to say, We told you ...

604. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , estimated to be from a 10 foot long beast. Giant scorpions were previously thought to have been aquatic, for the same gravitational reasons as Brachiosaurus was thought to have spent most of its time half submerged in swamps, but this was from a terrestrial environment and appeared to be air breathing. In our present conditions of oxygen pressure and gravity such a creature is well nigh impossible. Human origins under review New Scientist 30.10.93, p. 49 New studies of DNA in humans, chimpanzees and gorillas has led one geneticist to the conclusion that all three split from an ancestral form at the same time and may have taken as little as 115,000 years ...
605. The Capture of Luna (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... which had several causes: the great displacements of water and subcrustal magma; the shock of the capture, which transformed the precessional' wobble of our Earth into what might be called a recessional' one; the fact that the Earth no longer swung round its own centre but formed one constituent of a double system with a common centre of gravity; the eccentric orbital movement of the Moon; and various other irregularities of its motion. The balancing out of a new equator line caused the north pole to move away from its position in north-eastern Greenland towards the New Siberian Islands and then round and round again in an irregular spiral towards its present position. This polar migration has not ...

607. Ice Cores and Cosmically Induced Volcanic Eruptions [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... emit into the stratosphere. This indicates that the most important characteristic of recent lava-flow eruptions is not the volume of lava disgorged but the force with which it is emitted. The fact that these vast floods of lava are quietly erupted' underlines the point that they are driven by the relatively gentle expansion of magma (thereafter to flow downhill under gravity), not the explosive violence of steam. The proportion of fines' produced during an effusive eruption is negligible and no force is available to project them into the upper atmosphere. Thus, irrespective of whether a lava eruption is short-lived or prolonged, the probability that it would leave traces in polar ice cores is zero. Cosmic Triggering ...
... he should alert the daily press, the magazines, and the members of Frederick Johnson's Committee on Carbon 14. (23) On February 2, 1955, Velikovsky drafted in German a thirteen-page manifesto, "The Four Plans of the Universe," in which electric and magnetic phenomena were considered to be of the same order of importance as gravity and inertia. He sent a copy to Einstein and waited for his reply. Meanwhile, Velikovsky spoke with a psychology class at Princeton. Finally, he and Einstein discussed "The Four Plans" in person on March 4 and March 11; Einstein admitted that he was intrigued but pointed out that theories with proven records of predictability have ...
609. Jupiter in Collision: In Search of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to display its nucleus-enshrouding tail is not convincing. As has been stated earlier, there is no direct evidence of the presence of either the head or the visible tail of a comet, let alone a viable model or physical theory to explain the exotic motions necessary to justify this sophisticated cosmic scenario. A train of asteroids captured by the Earth's gravity à la Shoemaker-Levy 9, which took place over a five day period, or an angled passage through a single or multiple train of meteorite showers is a simpler and familiar explanation. This in no way excludes Venus, Mars, nor Super Encke from the parental role. Creating the Great Aurora Bringing the pillar of smoke and fire into ...
... someone of Shapley's stature, the pamphlet too dogmatic in its dismissal of the most basic assumptions of modern science. Furthermore, besides being too general and dogmatic to be convincing, the booklet began with Velikovsky's weakest argument, a criticism of gravitational theory based on the observation that the gases in the atmosphere do not separate in accordance with their specific gravities. This approach made it quite apparent that Velikovsky was unaware of the quantitative kinetic theory of gases which conventionally explained the phenomenon. Velikovsky followed this argument by presenting a second "exception" to Newtonian gravitation theory: noting the existence of clouds, which are much heavier than air but hang suspended in the sky, he neglected to mention ...
