... times highly unified apparition in the heavens, the center of human attention around the world. My claim is that this fear-inspiring image once stretched across the northern sky, towering over ancient man. Planet-sized bodies, moving in extremely close proximity to the Earth, shared in an unusual planetary alignment having no parallel in any relationship of planets and their moons today. I have termed this heavenly apparition the polar configuration because it centered on the north celestial Pole. The theory holds that the history of this planetary configuration is the history of the gods, recorded in the fantastic stories, pictographs and ritual reenactments of ancient star worshippers. From these vivid images one can reconstruct a model- down to ...
342. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... on his work? Did not Tycho Brahe find the compromising theory of the Sun revolving around the Earth- but Mercury and Venus circling around the Sun- in Heracleides of Pontus, yet announce it as his own? Did not Galileo read of the equal velocity of heavy and light falling bodies in Lucretius; did not Newton read in Plutarch of the Moon removed from the Earth by fifty-six terrestrial radii and impelled by gravitation to circle around the Earth, the basic postulate of Newton's Principia; and did not Halley read in Pliny about comets returning on their orbits? Then why does modern science disregard the persistent reports of events witnessed and recorded in many languages in the writings of the ancients and ...
343. Velikovsky's Mythology, Accepting the Premise... [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... myths to explain why the Sun rises every day or why plants grow in summer rather than winter; but early man certainly did just that. The evidence is incontrovertible that primitive societies see just about everything (and certainly anything that moves ) as being animated by a spirit, just as man himself thinks that he is. Certainly Sun, Moon and other prominent heavenly bodies are seen in this way, but so are many other things, such as the sky, mountains, water, fire, rocks, plants, animals, etc. It may be argued that Velikovsky's premise referred to major gods: yet, with the possible exception of Sun and Moon, there were thought ...
344. Plait in Denial [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the atmosphere of the planet. The report said that in its composition Jupiter resembled a star with a massive magnetic field and an elongated magnetotail' stretching as far as the orbit of Saturn. It's electrical activity is so strong that it pours billions of watts of energy into Earth's own magnetic field every day. ' It has at least 28 moons, a ring system and an immense atmosphere that bristles with lightning and swirls with huge storm systems. ' It has cyclones and anti-cyclones, circular depressions and lightning with white fluffy clouds probably made of water. The density and temperature of the upper atmosphere are significantly higher than was expected' suggesting the presence of a powerful internal furnace and ...
345. The Electric Universe: Slide Presentation & Notes by Wallace Thornhill [Journals] [Aeon]
... " [1 ] Thornhill's electrical theory of the same data reads: "The fly-by of Comet Halley didn't show material being boiled away, instead it showed plasma beams centered on craters facing the Sun. What we saw were circular craters being formed right in front of the Giotto cameras- producing the same kind of scarring seen on asteroids and moons. That the material was being electrically removed was confirmed by the discovery of x-rays and high energy ions near the nucleus." Thornhill goes on to discuss non-gravitational orbital anomalies, then attacks received opinion which states that a comet is defined by its size and composition. He claims instead that it is the eccentricity of the orbit of a ...
346. Dark Matter Missing Planets & New Comets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... | Issue Contents Dark Matter Missing Planets & New Comets http://www.metaresearch.org/dm/ Dark Matter, Missing Planets and New Comets provides evidence against the Big Bang theory; an exposition of the Meta Model alternative for the origin and nature of the universe; deductive models for the origins of stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, meteoroids, rings, Sun & planet spots; the latest on the hypothetical "tenth planet" beyond Pluto; an alternative to the Oort cloud of comets and the "dirty snowball" comet model; and much more. Since the book deals primarily with observational puzzles and anomalies that don't fit conventional models, ...
347. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... eccentric orbit. Its day is the longest in the Solar System and is longer than its year, locked in a 2 to 3 relationship by an unknown process. Its day time temperatures are the hottest in the Solar System and its night time temperatures among the lowest. The one surface which has been seen is heavily cratered, like the Moon, but there are also unexplained linear features. It has a tenuous atmosphere, where none was expected, and it is even suggested that ice may be at the poles. It is very dense, suggesting an iron core. Due to its small size, theory dictates that it should long ago have cooled sufficiently to be completely solid ...

... of Hell." Of conditions on Mars: "The rivers of Mars were made at a time when the Martian climate was very different from what it is today, and that suggests massive climatic change." (An earlier Mars must have had higher atmospheric pressure, higher temperatures and more abundant water.) Of the Laputans' Martian moons, swiftly explained by the Kepler argument: "The moons of Mars were an idea which had been around for some time." (Could he know how long?! - And in view of the stormy history of the planets:) "Maybe Phobos and Deimos are parts of one object..." Not unexpectedly, ...
349. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... iridium content. Variation in G sources: Spaceflight June 1982, 6.6 .82, p.281; Astrophysical Journal 248, pp. 813-6 Thomas van Flandern of the US Naval Observatory is the latest to conclude that the gravitational constant G might be changing. He has been looking at the particular case of the orbit of the Moon about the Earth and has applied the equation F=Gm/r ^2 to the Moon's gradually changing orbit (where F is the gravitational force between two bodies of masses m, M, respectively and the distance between them is r, G being the gravitational constant). If G changes with time then the orbits of m ...
