... wall, the narrow gaps to the south of Ascotan and to the east of Uyuni, but chiefly through that to the west of La Paz. It was thus that a vast area of the Inter-Andean Meseta was set under water, and the Inter-Andean Sea of the Intermediate Strandline', a land-locked sea-game into being. (Cf. the Map) It will be appreciated that this explanation bears at least the stamp of possibility. When the inflow of water eventually stopped, some 90 feet of water covered the settlement of Siminake. Huacullani, and certainly other sites of the First Period, which may yet be discovered, were submerged to a similar depth4. The Old Temple' ...
... the Bolivian Altiplano (along different meridians between 69o 30' and 67o 30' to obtain a clearer diagram) show the three levels of the former Inter-Andean Sea, with relation to Tiahuanaco. To show up distinctly the slant of the levels as revealed by the ancient strandlines all heights have been exaggerated 500 times. (Cf. also the Map of the Bolivian Altiplano, Present levels of the Lakes in the Meseta: Titicaca 12 506 ft., Poopo 12 051 ft., Coipasa12 031ft. above sea-level . .. .. .. .. .. . Inter-Andean Sea of the Lowest Level (conjectural): southern shore slightly lower than Lake Titicaca, northern shore ...
293. The Ruined Face of a Classic Beauty [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of contact, positive ions would congregate and set up an anode-cathode relationship, that is, a situation matured for an exchange of thunderbolts. The rilles ditches erupted by a rapidly moving and charge-accumulating current. Craters are the spots where the exchange of opposite charges, attracted for discharge, occurred, usually at prominences of the two bodies. A map of the major rilles of the moon shows a concentration of them in the general area of the great crater, Aristarchus. Emanations of radon-222, whose parent element is radium-226, were detected from Aristarchus. The rays are several times more intense there than in areas farther removed, indicating a local source. Radium 226 isotopes decay rapidly. ...
294. How the Gods Fly [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of movements must be nevertheless both necessary and possible leaving only an occasional screening anomaly to be justified by causes outside of astrophysics and astronomy. Secondly, there is the problem of apparent movements of celestial bodies. The Phaeacians, proud of their navigational skills, will nevertheless have set the story on a flat stage, a platform of the celestial map of the vault of heaven emplaced upon the platform Poseidon-Earth. They will have been perceiving apparent speeds, flattened orbits when the bodies were close-in, apparent sizes that would not make allowances for distances in space. How great a problem is presented by the semblances, as opposed to the reality, of vision of bodies in outer space, ...
295. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... in engineering principles, astronomy and physics. Because Velikovsky made many basic errors in physics and in astronomy, and partly because his thesis was so radical for evolutionary minds, he was thoroughly challenged at a major conclave of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.(8 ) In his various works, Velikovsky presented a total of one map, no graphs, no line diagrams. This reveals his weakness in the hard sciences. Nevertheless, it is clear that rejection by the A.A .A .S ., and by the hard sciences generally, was a rejection that was both premature and immature. Throwing out the baby with the bath water is not good ...
296. THE SURFACE OF VENUS--"A NEWBORN BABE" [Journals] [Aeon]
... ..." (8 ) Io is the most volcanic body in the solar system. According to Billy Glass: The volcanic eruptions [on Io] appear to be comparable in intensity to the greatest terrestrial eruptions which are rare on the Earth...Io appears to be volcanically more active than the Earth. This has made mapping Io difficult because the active regions undergo radical changes in short periods of time. In the four month interval between Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, for example, one of the largest (200 km diameter) [122 miles] eruptive centers on Io known as Prometheus was transformed from a heart shaped feature to a circular one. ( ...
297. Remembering Velikovsky [Journals] [Aeon]
... - ? I am reminded of Stephen Vincent Benet's assessment of Robert E. Lee: "For he will smile And give you with unfailing courtesy Prayers, trappings, letters, uniforms and orders Photographs, kindness, valor and advice And do it with such grace and gentleness That you will know you have the whole of him Pinned down, mapped out, easy to understand And so you have, all times Except the heart The heart he kept...a secret to the end From all the picklocks of biographers." Yet for us, especially during this centenary of his birth, it is the identification of him with Elijah, the prophet who brought down fire from ...
298. Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution [Journals] [Aeon]
... least of which, all of these are produced under the aegis of the basic DNA blueprint pattern found in the nucle-us, containing some three billion nucleotides in the human genome alone, a characterization of which was funded in 1990 and expected to take about 15 years to achieve. (The Stanford Human Genome Center announced in October 1997 that the mapping of the human genome had been completed well ahead of schedule.) What is this "ghost in a machine" that instructs each component to do what it was designed to do? It's as if there were uncharacterized degrees of intelligence functioning on a microscopic- one may even say molecular- scale to direct the multilevel tasks within and ...
299. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... science at the turn of the 20th century included minds- Einstein, Mach, Poincaré, Planck, Hertz, Bergson- which explored fundamental concepts of nature. Today, great discoveries are being made in many fields- molecular biology, artificial intelligence, astronomy- but the analyses are feeble. Physicists recycle eastern religious philosophies, while experimental psychologists map the brain like 16th century phrenologists. Similarly, if I dare say it, the discourse among catastrophists is equally limited. Dwardu Cardona replies: The paper in question was first written in the early 1970's as Chapter 2 of a book in which I had intended to lay out a detailed, but objective, criticism of Velikovsky's Worlds in ...
