... SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1999:2 (Feb 2000) Home | Issue Contents Letters Geological Transients in 2300 BC I was interested in the section of Moe Mandelkehr's article (C &CR 1999:1 ) dealing with Earthquakes and Volcanic eruptions' (pp. 14-15). Sir Isaac Newton made a diagram representing the pull of the moon. It had two vertical components, one corresponding to the height of the moon above the earth and a diagonal known as the tangential component. The tangental component varies as the sine of twice the altitude of the moon or sun, and when the altitude of those luminaries is 45 degrees, the force is at a maximum. ' ...
602. Taxonomic incommensurability [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . According to Kuhn, scientific revolutions are characterized by changes in the taxonomic schemes by means of which theories classify the entities in their domains of application. [. .] "One of Kuhn's standard examples of taxonomic change is drawn from the transition between Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy: "Before [the transition] occurred, the sun and moon were planets, the earth was not. After it, the earth was a planet, like Mars and Jupiter; the sun was a star; and the moon was a new sort of body, a satellite. (1987, p. 8) "Here Kuhn writes as if the entities themselves undergo change, rather than the ...
603. The Origin and Evolution of the Comets and Other Small Bodies in the Solar System [Journals] [Kronos]
... , which is not based on any analysis of observational data, is refuted by everything known nowadays about the structure and physical nature of asteroids and meteorites. It also seems to me that the significance of collisions has been overrated; consider how much more important volcanic and tectonic processes are, not only on the Earth, but also on the Moon (NASA, 1969). These results all speak in favour of the fact that the minor bodies have formed as the result of volcanic processes in the planetary bodies. DATA FROM COMETS Examination of the cometary data gives more obvious information (Vsekhsvyatskii, 1962, 1966, 1967). The existence of planetary families of short-period comets that ...
604. The Titius-Bode Law and the Evolution of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]
... believe in the law, then this would indicate that there has been no large-scale evolution in the composition of the solar system in the recent past. Now let me come to two discussions of the Titius-Bode Law which would take exception to these conclusions: The first was put forward by Bailey,2 just before the first Apollo landing on the Moon in 1969. It raised an old question which dates back centuries, the idea of a missing planet in the interior of the solar system. Bailey proposed that perhaps the Moon is a lost planet, "Luna," which perhaps once existed in an unstable orbit between Mercury and Venus, and which was captured by the Earth. ...
605. The Birth of Vahagn: An Armenian Vision of Celestial Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... ." 6) "He had fiery hair, and even his beard was aflame" could be a description of either Venus or an atmospherically distorted appearance of Mars when each made a close approach to Earth.(17) 7) "And his eyes were little suns." Velikovsky postulated that Mars came close enough for its two moons to be visible but this could be a description of surface eruptions on the face of Mars, itself. More likely, though, it is merely a poetic description for the same was said of the eyes of Agni, Horus, and other deities. The above seven suggestions are merely an attempt to interpret the birth of Vahagn-Mars-Venus in ...

607. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and the month of almost exactly thirty days, but earlier the day, month, and year were of different lengths. We offered an explanation of the fact that the nocturnal side of Venus emits as much heat as the sunlit side; and we explained the origin of the canals of Mars and the craters and seas of lava on the moon as brought about in stress and near collisions. We believe we came close to solving the problem of mountain building and the irruption of the sea; the exchange of place between sea and land; the rise of new islands and volcanic activity; sudden changes in climate and the destruction of quadrupeds in no rthern Siberia and the annihilation of ...
608. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... right, often they are not. None of these experts appear to possess the slightest knowledge of the initial causes which operate to produce sudden and violent disturbances of the elements. Presumably they are aware that both air and water are condensed gases, but why air and sea exist is one of those matters people take for granted, although the moon which is a planet has neither. There is reason to suppose that the oceans and seas are gradually increasing in volume. Where is the water coming from? Nay, where has it all come from? We are expected to believe that the lands on the earth's surface have been thrown up at different periods from a molten interior; ...
609. The Bonds of the Past [Journals] [Kronos]
... the MBA in Palestine comes to an end. The transition from Middle to Late Bronze Age therefore marks the arrival of the Israelites in Canaan." Students of ancient history in general and the revised chronology in particular should find this article highly provocative and an important contribution to our understanding of Canaanite archaeological problems. The subject of "Aphrodite- The Moon or Venus?" now finds Peter James and Alfred de Grazia locked in a fascinating debate. De Grazia holds that Aphrodite is to be identified with the Moon and disputes James' earlier identification of Aphrodite with the planet Venus. Nevertheless, James resolutely denies that Aphrodite had anything to do with the Moon and stands firm on his earlier ...
... Golspie Stone. Along the sides of this remarkable relic are carved a succession of interlocked designs, like our letter "S ". On an almost identical stone from Iraq (termed the "Nebuchadnezzar Stone"), with a very similar distribution of celestial symbols, along one side is depicted a huge serpent moving to attack the Sun and Moon placed on the apex of the stone. Both stones evidently are intended to convey the meaning that the celestial serpent, Set or Typhon or Saturn, otherwise a cometary body, is threatening the earth and universe. Hermes, on the authority of Sanchoniathon, invented the Serpent emblem to illustrate those mysterious and erratic bodies. Why the god ...
