... it. Yes, force equals mass times acceleration, but the final velocity vector of a bolide is dependent on the force by time. In order to create some of the features of the craters on the Moon by impact requires velocities measured in tens of kilometers per second. That does not give sufficient time to bend the path of a meteor appreciably when traveling toward the Moon at those speeds. For the same reason, the Roche limit is unlikely to have much influence on cratering because of the extremely short time spent between the bolide entering that region and the impact. There are too few accurate historical observations of the Sun's diameter to be able to determine what curve, if ...

... roll of thunder'. According to Pollington the second element is the word for road and is thought to mean something like to ride, or actually riding, hence a roll of sound. However, placed together we have thunder road' which might originally have meant something greater and even more intrusive i.e . a trail of noisy meteoric material.

573. From Microcosm to Macrocosm: The Fearful Symmetry of Catastrophism [Journals] [Kronos]
... Buddhist hell."(46) Father Wilhelm Kleinsorge, of the Society of Jesus, was 1400 yards from the center of the explosion. While reading his Stimmen der Zeit, he first caught sight of "the terrible flash - which, Father Kleinsorge later realized, reminded him of something he had read as a boy about a large meteor colliding with the earth." (47) The sole uninjured doctor on Hiroshima's Red Cross Hospital staff was a Dr. Sasaki. He began to administer medical aid immediately and without method but was shortly overwhelmed by the staggering number of wounded. "Tugged here and there in his stockinged feet, bewildered by the number, staggered by ...

... by any culture, Hebrew, Egyptian, Icelandic, Indian, or other, were not germane to his thesis. In the instance of water turning to blood, Velikovsky very clearly said that ferruginous rains were the cause, a phenomenon which has been observed with many a volcanic eruption, and in some not fully quantified instances the fall of meteoric material. The plausibility of the fall of manna or manna-like substances of a sweet, oily consistency, also discussed by Velikovsky, has been substantiated in detail elsewhere; (4 ) and its mixture with water to form a whitish emulsion, could both quite reasonably give rise to stories of fabled lands rich in milk and honey. There ...

... transit of some massive body disrupted orbits in the inner Solar System. 12. This approach is unrealistic because it implicitly assumes that the viewing conditions were ideal so that poor visibility never interfered. For example, abnormally long invisibilities, which are common in the Tablets, can readily occur if clouds, dust storms, volcanic veils, or heavy meteor shower debris occludes the atmosphere so that the first visibility of Venus is delayed, perhaps inordinately. 13. A new wrinkle in Venus Tablet studies has presented itself. Reading from Rose's manuscript Sun, Moon and Sothis at the C.S .I .S . meeting at Haliburton, Ontario on August 26, 1992, Clark Whelton ...
... . There was more than one focus of concentration. Scandinavia, where it would seem the greatest mass of heavy rocks and stones fell first, was one; another was in the neighbourhood of the Hebridean Sea, its centre probably in Mull, when the Shetlands and Orkneys, together with the Outer Hebrides and Faroes were torn to tatters by meteors, earthquakes, and floods, near which lay the heart of the inundation, and the third lay off South Wales and Somerset, in which the river Severn played an important part. Immense as was the damage caused in the more southern parts it was not so phenomenal as in the rocky north, but was far more heavily populated ...

... [cannot] be applied to Velikovsky without begging the very questions at issue."(68) I am well aware of the implications. Velikovsky, for instance, has stated that during the catastrophes of the eighth/seventh centuries B.C ., world-wide pollution of the terrestrial atmosphere by "dead" carbon from volcanic eruptions, meteoric dust, etc., would have made all organic matter in the decades that followed appear much older when dated by the C- 14 method." But, we ask, by as much as 29,000 years? Even if so, a dilemma still remains . Dr. Euan MacKie had some comments to make concerning Rose's ...

... been the case for the return of Bielas comet in 1871 and the strange electrical phenomena of the Chicago fires, where falls of sand were also reported [23, 24]. It may also explain the Tunguska explosion where the bolide seems to have been destroyed before hitting the ground [25]. It is also probable that the famous Meteor Crater in Arizona is merely an electrical scar since little meteoritic material has been found at depth in the crater and meteoritic iron has been found scattered over hundreds of kilometres. In my opinion, the weight of evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the Saturnists, based on the coherence of the theory, its vast explanatory and predictive power, ...
... of the Drift, lies on their alleged relics. Nevertheless, unless they are relics the Mousterian man becomes a myth. The evidence rests on certain lanceolate flint flakes with more or less parallel sides, supposedly crude knives or tools.5 But from another aspect similar flints, sharpened by contact at high speed, have been flung down by meteor impact, and although such flint flakes give an impression of crude human workmanship such is by no means a proven fact. Geologists ascribe the Mousterian epoch to between two and three hundred thousand years ago. To believe this is asking a good deal of human credulity-far beyond any such demands that I shall make. Then there is the Chellian ...
580. On the Orientation of Ancient Temples and Other Anomalies [Journals] [Aeon]
... such a study. The paucity of defensible hypotheses points to a glaring deficiency in our current understanding of geological and cosmic phenomena. The scientific community ignores valid observations of physical phenomena at the risk of overlooking something of critical importance in our understanding of the world around us. In recent years the role of extra-terrestrial bodies, from tektites to large meteors, has become recognized as the cause of many earthly phenomena, from a possible source of life (spores arriving from outer space) to the iridium layer that seems to mark the extinction of many life forms. Inasmuch as the data cited here is empirical and no explanation seems possible based on known geologic forces, I am forced to ...
