... unforeseen effects." He cites the example of the conical pendulum whose behaviour can become chaotic (New Scientist 24.7 .86, p.37): other such systems include the breeding populations of insects, fish, etc, dripping taps, fibrillating hearts, weather systems, geomagnetic reversals, and the motion of Hyperion, a moon of Saturn. "The behaviour of nonlinear systems is enormously rich and diverse. When driven away from equilibrium, they are liable to leap abruptly and spontaneously into new, more complex or highly organised states. Alternatively, they may become chaotic. Often there are certain "singular points" where predictability breaks down, the system becoming enormously ...

... among these bodies. Although visually dissimilar, the three classes of meteorites share numerous features in common. Most of these rocks contain iron-rich silicates and iron oxides, clear evidence that they were created in a rather iron-rich environment. And all of the SNCs show very similar oxygen-isotope compositions, these abundances being distinct from those characteristic of the Earth or Moon. The SNCs are also similar in their relatively young ages. By measuring the decay products of various radioactive isotopes in igneous rocks, it is thought to be possible to determine how long ago the rocks solidifed. Known as the crystallization age, the measures obtained for the Nahklites and Chassigny were on the order of ~1 .3 ...

... universal myth. Powerful arguments support a brief solar system chronometry. The Lately Tortured Earth: The first systematic treatment of the role of exoterrestrial forces in the Earth Sciences. The elements of geology and geography are discussed in the light of new discoveries about quantavolution and catastrophes as they shaped the globe. A riveting theory of the explosion of the Moon from Earth in recent times, accompanying the global fracture and rafting of the continents. Solaria Binaria: An astronomer and astro-physicist join to perfect an elegantly coherent and logical theory, backed by physical, psychological, and mythological studies, of the origins and history of the solar system with Jupiter as the remnant of the Uranian binary partner of ...
525. Scientists support Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 6 ) of meteoric material led them to conclude that at least two destructive collisions have occurred about 600 million years ago and another about 300 million years ago. Collisions of the type described should lead to angular momentum characteristics of the planets that will not necessarily be easily understood. Colombo (7 ) has observed that, although Mercury, the moon and several satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have odd angular momentums, the behaviours of Venus and Mars are much more difficult to explain. A considerable loss of angular momentum by Mars has been used to explain theoretical calculations about Mars and geological formations seen on the planet (8 , 9, 10). Evidence has been presented which indicates ...
526. On Number As Artifact: Part 2: Development [Journals] [Horus]
... clearly refer to sidereal lunar months of 27-1/3 days rounded off to 28 days. The 13 months of 28 days form a year of 364 days, which is 1 ½ days short of a solar year. [3 ] Why would any culture pay attention to a month so completely out of synchronization with the observable evidence (new moon, full moon, etc.)? Were the ancient Peruvians struggling to find something to explain other phenomena that concerned them? The Belgian mythographer Claude Levi-Strauss notes that a paradox becomes much more assimilable in the preliterate mind if it can be balanced by a second paradox. [4 ] Did the sidereal month serve such a purpose? ...

... liquid material hold together while gas pressures built beneath them and elevated them to heights in keeping with bubbles the size of any but the very smallest of lunar craters? The bubble mechanism, which seems to go back to ideas suggested in the seventeenth century by Robert Hooke (Cf., R. B. Baldwin, The Measure of the Moon, Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1963, p. 392), would seem incapable of explaining even the small lunar domes, which were its inspiration. It must be pointed out that the concept of burst-bubble craters is of entirely peripheral importance to the theme of Worlds in Collision, for there are ample signs of other forms ...

... attend our most stimulating occasion so far. Despite the effects of jet lag, Professor de Grazia, besides bringing members the news from America reported in the following pages, discoursed at length and answered a large number of questions on the Flood, radiocarbon dating, the origin of Religion, Saturn and the earlier catastrophes, the age of the Moon, and his own researches into the origin of the (schizotypical) human brain, the history of the Moon, and the destructions of ancient civilisations by catastrophic fire. This last subject, which Professor de Grazia subsumes under the new heading of "Palaeo-Calcinology" (see Kronos review), and which he applies particularly to the destruction ...

... has "never called Velikovsky a fundamentalist" because "the term labels a Protestant movement". After admitting his error on the Deluge, Gardner adds with sarcasm, "I hope Rose will forgive this terrible blunder". He then correctly states the scenario closing with the observation that after the Deluge, "For several centuries both Earth and Moon were completely covered with water". Gardner is amused that, after being blasted for wrongly calling Velikovsky a fundamentalist. "Rose reminds us that Velikovsky accepts literally the Genesis account of the entire Earth being under water in historic times". Dr. Kline accused Sagan and Gardner of "savage personal attacks on Velikovsky ( 'charlatan. ...
530. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... a favorable reaction in my mind was Griffard's suggestion that this obscuring medium might have emanated from Saturn. Griffard's suggestion directed me to the accretion disc, or placental cloud, theory. A dramatic painting of such a cloud by the noted space artist Chesley Bonestell appeared in one of the volumes in my library. It depicted the Earth and the Moon, "reddened by the heat of their own internal fires," surrounded by the enormous and dark placental cloud of matter out of which they had supposedly accreted. Turning the picture upside down, and disregarding the Moon, gave me an inkling of what Saturn might have looked like prior to its flare-up had it been the one surrounded ...
