... politic government, and for laws, are accused as composing monstrous things, and are said to have undertaken an impossible task upon them. And here I will say nothing of those other philosophers who have undertaken any thing of this nature in their writings. But even Plato himself, who is so admired by the Greeks on account of that gravity in his manners, and force in his words, and that ability he had to persuade men beyond all other philosophers, is little better than laughed at and exposed to ridicule on that account, by those that pretend to sagacity in political affairs; although he that shall diligently peruse his writings will find his precepts to be somewhat gentle ...
622. Cataclysms of the Earth [Books]
... that heat conditions vary on the surface of the earth, and that plants and animals vary accordingly. It is a truism to say that both plants and animals depend on the sun for heat and light. Animals and plants differ with the temperatures. There are torrid-zone, temperate-zone, and frigid-zone plants and animals-yet all feel the same drag of gravity exerted by the incoming radiations from celestial space. These radiations are identified in this treatise as being the major source of the energy from which the materials of the earth are created. At death, both vegetable and animal life become part of the soil. During life, trees shed branches and twigs, due to storms, which all ...
... not to say that the Egyptians had discovered the circulation of the blood. But the determinative sign for "heart" often figures as the plumb bob at the end of a plumb line coming from a well-known astronomical or surveying device, the merkhet. Evidently, "heart" is something very specific, as it were the "center of gravity." [n13 See Aeg.Wb. 2, pp. 55f. for the sign of the heart (ib) as expressing generally "the middle, the center."]. And this may lead in quite another direction. The Arabs preserved a name for Canopus- besides calling the star Kalb at-taiman (" heart of ...
624. Scientific Dating Problems: The Radiometric Dating Of Earth's Rocks [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in macroscopic quantities clearly requires a fluid flow. Could such a process operate at the microscopic level to produce the high concentrations found in the radiocentres of ordinary halos? Uranium halos in coalified wood show that radiocentres formed when gel-like wood was impregnated by a uranium-rich solution. Sieve-tube sheaths resist being reduced to gel and water flowing through these tubes under gravity or capillary action would flush out the tissue. Diameters of sieve-tubes are typically 0 1-1 0 mm, 3 magnitudes larger than those assumed for lightning current filaments. If uranium leaching out of the water formed capture sites for further uranium, diameters of clusters would grow beyond the 1mm ideal and many would exceed the 4mm maximum for adequately-defined halos ...

626. Zetetic Scholar Nos. 3 & 4 April 1979 [Articles]
... propose a common element for these phenomena in recurring catastrophic circumstances in which radiation plays an important role. In the field of celestial dynamics, Dr. Robert Bass, speaking at the Glasgow conference last Spring, drew attention to a proposal which (with a deep breath) he introduced as "Melvin Cook's sophisticated Madelung-force dynamic-lattice plasma-theoretical electromagnetic theory of gravity" (10) - a theory which would allow electrically charged planets to behave in a perfectly Newtonian manner, even to their perturbation effects, except on close approach. Within a certain distance (corresponding to the Debye length of plasma physics), their charged nature would lead to the non-Newtonian effects predicted by Velikovsky's theory but difficult to ...
