... 10-14 coulombs. Neutrons have no electric charge. Alpha (a ) -particles have a charge equal to that of two protons. The electric charge of X-rays and y-rays depends upon their wave length: the shorter the wave length, the higher the charge. y-rays have shorter wave-lengths than X-rays. X-rays and y-rays move at the speed of light (300,000 km. per second). Material particles move at far lower speeds than the electro-magnetic waves. The kinetic energy of charged particles (expressed in eV, KeV, or MeV) may be greatly increased by `accelerating' their speed: as this energy depends upon the strength of the electric field in which they ...
532. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... was Asahel who sought to kill Abner, and Abner acted in self-defense." Joab: "Abner might have disabled Asahel without going to extremes." Solomon: "That Abner could not do." Joab: "What! Abner aimed directly at Asahel's fifth rib, and thou wouldst say he could not have managed to wound him lightly?" Solomon: "Very well, then, we shall drop Abner's case. But why didst thou slay Amasa?" Joab: "He acted rebelliously toward King David. He omitted to execute his order to gather an army within three days; for that offense he deserved to suffer the death penalty." Solomon: " ...
533. From the Death of David to the Death of Ahab [Books]
... to Jerusalem; and after he had offered great sacrifices before the tabernacle, he feasted all his own family. 2. In these days a hard cause came before him in judgment, which it was very difficult to find any end of; and I think it necessary to explain the fact about which the contest was, that such as light upon my writings may know what a difficult cause Solomon was to determine, and those that are concerned in such matters may take this sagacity of the king for a pattern, that they may the more easily give sentence about such questions. There were two women, who were harlots in the course of their lives, that came to ...
534. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... at the present time, and we'll go on later to Dr. Mulholland's talk. With that in mind, there's a question here. QUESTIONER: It's a well-known fact today that, as I'm sure most of you in the audience know, the Moon rotates with a period which is precisely equal to its period of revolution. In the light of what is claimed to have happened to the Earth as a result of the close passages of the Earth and Venus, I would be interest in Dr. Velikovsky's explanation as to how this precise synchronization of the Moon's rotation and revolution could have continued through this holocaust. One other question, of a like nature. I think it ...
535. Flavius Josephus Against Apion Book 1 [Books]
... falsely about us are to be convicted by what they have written themselves to the contrary. I shall also endeavor to give an account of the reasons why it hath so happened, that there have not been a great number of Greeks who have made mention of our nation in their histories. I will, however, bring those Grecians to light who have not omitted such our history, for the sake of those that either do not know them, or pretend not to know them already. 2. And now, in the first place, I cannot but greatly wonder at those men, who suppose that we must attend to none but Grecians, when we are inquiring about ...
536. Book Review/Thorne [Journals] [Aeon]
... the people who do science, their vicissitudes, their often bizarre and unrestrained ideas, and the almost spastic fits and starts by which both theoretical and experimental physics underwent paradigmatic shifts in the accelerating rush of 20th century experience. The story itself actually begins far earlier, in 1783, when John Michell postulated, on Newtonian grounds, that corpuscular light could not emanate from a compact star as massive as the Sun if it had a minimum radius of some 3 km (1 .8 miles). Simon de Laplace later popularized Michell's early concept of a black hole- then termed a dark star- but abandoned the idea with the 1804 double-slit interference experiments of physician Thomas Young, ...
537. The Celestial Whirlpool Lake [Books]
... for joy." Pharaoh bathes in the "lake of rushes "and the gods dry his limbs. ' He is then conducted to a palace, or, as in the solar cult's particular texts, he enters the sun-boat of Re. In the oldest of the Pyramid Texts-those referring to King Unis-the gods known as the "Great-Ones-North-of-the-Sky" light a fire and put on kettles to cook a cannibalistic feast: The Dwellers in the-sky revolve for King Unis (in his service). The Kettles are replenished for him with the legs of their women. He (Unis) has encircled all the Two Skies (corresponding to the Two Lands), He has revolved about the two ...
538. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... reports describing what is happening in the sky. Though many are overlaid with myth, others are not, or seem to be amalgams of fancy and realism. One report from Korea is rather prosaic [8 ]. The annalist describes a night in June, 1519: in the evening the Moon was very bright; no sooner did a light cloud become visible in the west then light appeared through the cloud. It looked like lightning, but gave off no heat. Sometimes it moved slowly in the sky in the shape of a flying arrow and sometimes passed away very fast like a shooting star. It looked like a leaping red snake or sparkling flame. Sometimes it was ...
539. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... fortunate that the University College Cardiff Press was prepared to publish a book which contains so little new material. However, the inevitable scarcity of direct evidence does not prevent the authors from reaching forthright conclusions. After pointing out that bacteria and viruses can survive cooling to below -252 C, and are resistant to irradiation with relatively large doses of ultraviolet light and X-rays, properties which (they argue) would not be needed on the surface of the Earth, they conclude: "This data comes as near to supplying objective proof that bacteria and viruses are indeed space travellers as one could hope to find." Most people would not be so easily convinced. Even if the facts are ...
540. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Aristotle and perhaps earlier. Suppose also that the vivid, powerful memories of them, which at first were immediate, overwhelming and irrepressible, were gradually repressed into the collective unconscious where they exerted a strong hidden influence on human behaviour. If there was a sequence to the Homeric, pre-Socratic and Pythagorean models, it can be interpreted in this light. The Homeric cosmos (if it is the earliest) would be a realistic if glum portrait of how things were seen to be: power comes from above, it is careless of mankind and we can only do the best we can. If that was a true portrait, however, it was also unpleasant, and people might ...
