... But, such an interpretation is not consistent with the radar-detected craters showing "a shallowness which may result from mobility of the Venus crust". In addition, the great, high plateau of Venus, which is a major contributor to the reported relief, does not produce a gravity anomaly as do comparable features on Earth. Notwithstanding the impressive map of the Venerean surface produced from the Pioneer-Venus orbiter, radar data unsupported by optical observations are subject to interpretive vagary. Navigational restrictions make it necessary to use Earth-based radar pictures of Venus to stabilize the images constructed from the orbiter data. In effect the altitudes and contours, as determined from orbit, have been built upon the Earth-based results ...
452. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , things such as light flashes and colour changes observed by many reliable astronomers over the years were dismissed as observer illusions until a 40 min. darkening near the edge of the Aristarchus crater in April 1994, which was observed by around 100 amateur astronomers. One open-minded astronomer later looked closely at the data from the lunar satellite Clementine which was mapping the area at the time and found that Aristarchus really had turned redder. ELECTROMAGNETISM The Shattered Electron New Scientist 14.10.00, pp. 25-27 It has long been accepted that the atom can be split into a multitude of particles but the electron is still thought of as indivisible. Now a physicist, reviewing the results of ...

These have obviously been the inhabitants of the crateral lakes, the bursting of which occasioned those deluges ; which are always preceded, and of course caused, by violent earthquakes.* * Scrope on " Volcanoes," p. 168.

454. Plato And The Catastrophist Tradition [Journals] [Kronos]
... as simply as possible, the essential thesis of Hamlet's Mill is that the great myths are a worldwide storehouse of symbols and motifs that once constituted the coherent astronomical-astrological science of our pre-literate ancestors in all parts of the world. The events of myth, and especially the great mythic catastrophes of devastation by fire and flood, are seen as a mapping of major changes in the celestial order onto the familiar dimensions of terrestrial society and geography. These changes are those brought about by the Precession, the gradual, inexorable, revolution of the Earth's axial direction, represented by the celestial North Pole, around the Pole of the Ecliptic, the famous "empty place" from which, according ...
455. Chaos and Creation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... persistent a legendary theme, the more forceful is the reality behind the theme. GLOBAL RUINATION AND ITS PERPETRATOR In 1948, Claude Schaeffer published his comprehensive review of the field studies of Ancient Near and Middle East civilizations. He concluded that all had been concurrently destroyed by earthquake or other cause on several occasions. The many cities shown on the map of Figure 33 suffered destruction by natural causes, twice or more in the Jovean, Mercurian, Venusian and Martian periods. He goes far towards demonstrating that the conventional divisions of the Bronze ages are in fact divisions by catastrophe. No existing settlement escaped. Rockenbach, a careful collector of ancient materials, published in 1602 a work fixing ...
456. The Earth's Physical and Magnetic History [Books] [de Grazia books]
... latitudes (Lapointe et al.). Under earlier Solaria Binaria conditions, therefore, the surface rocks and internal magnetism of the Earth were in line with the field forces of the magnetic tube. All subsequent accidents to the Earth that brought magnetic disturbances, whether in the rocks or in the poles, must be overlaid on the fundamental magnetic map imprinted upon the globe during its youth. Furthermore, the electric generator of the Earth's magnetic field must be the descendant, still declining, of the primeval current set in motion by the magnetic tube. This current flows in the conductive material deep within the Earth. There it creates, and mainly defines, the field, the lines ...
457. Electric Discharge as the Source of Solar Radiant Energy (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ), mathematical models describing stellar processes involve simple correlations between the physical description of the Sun (or star) and its observed output. (2a) But if the causal parameters are presumed to be determined by the conditions in the space surrounding the solar system, and not from the Sun's essence, then mathematical investigations must include an appropriate mapping of the Sun's (or other star's) environment - a presently unexplored field - before any analysis of the Sun's (or other star's) behavior is possible. In the past, others have considered the possibility that stars such as the Sun may be powered from the outside, with some "subtle radiation " traversing space providing the power ...
458. The Catastrophic Role of Fluid Pressure and Electromagnetic Phenomena in the Mechanics of Overthrust Faulting [Journals] [Kronos]
... the horizontal (90 - 30 = 60). In the case of overthrusts, however, the low-angle reverse faults are from 0-45 degrees (commonly close to 30 degrees ) from the horizontal, indicating that s1, was parallel to the horizontal when the thrusting occurred (refer to Figure 1).

... rule without an exception, and one exclusion alone is made: the geographer-so to call who regards every myth as a migration, finds little or no admittance' even on business. The world is wide, though nest so wide as it was; there is still room for all and no cosmic myth is asked whence it came on the map of the world, but only on the chart of the imagination of the human race. Given a small planet, and an evolution of life and living things thereon; and of men who, wherever they lie on that planet, see the same heavens, and the same phases of those heavens-not, may be at the same precise ...
460. The Perception of Continuity and Discontinuity [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... so much conceptual and creative scientific thinking ostentatiously involves the detection of similarities, it has been tempting to give less attention to discontinuities. They tend to be treated as distractions to an understanding of external natural processes and to our own mental processes. Despite this the sudden "seeing" of an abstract problem solution or the best interpretation of a map certainly follows a discontinuity of a kind. At the conceptual level, understanding may itself be achieved either continuously or discontinuously. There is some evidence for a systematic difference in this respect between less and more intelligent youngsters. The former proceed via a continuous process approaching solutions via small increments, while the latter serially test a range of hypotheses ...
