... that of Mercury; hence, its RFP is far superior to that of Mercury. At 1 AU distance from the sun with its large charge the braking charge on the Earth is far smaller than on either Venus or Mercury. This would permit the Earth to rotate in less than 24 hours. Because of the tidal braking action of the Moon, the Earth rotates more slowly than it could. The Moon's rotation is difficult to analyze because of the very great tidal braking action on it of the Earth. Mars' electromagnetic field is about 0.004 that of Earth; its RFP is very small. But because its mass is 0.1 that of Earth and it ...
632. Cosmic Winter [Articles]
... simply not available at the time, for example, when Velikovsky was writing Worlds in Collision. So, essentially, what I'm describing to you is a scientific story based upon the very latest evidence from space. And this is merely illustrating one example of the kind of surprises that came our way. The Apollo astronauts planted seismometers on the Moon, primarily to measure Moonquakes. But they got diverted from their business by the discovery that objects, which they didn't expect at least, were hitting the Moon. These seismometers regularly recorded large bodies hitting the Moon like the meteoroids which I've just been describing. And this diagram is an illustration of the record of the incidence of these ...
633. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream [Journals] [Kronos]
... that the passage from decline to rebirth, from confusion to order, the turbulent ordeal and joy of survival, are symbolic of the events described in Worlds in Collision . They will be shown to be particularly symbolic of the most recent set of catastrophes, ca. -747 to -687, when an interaction between Mars, Venus, Earth and Moon produced a period of terrifying blazing darkness punctuated by frenzied movements, ugly noise and rapid changes in electromagnetic attraction. The historical result, after the heavens settled down, was an altered topography complemented by a new political and intellectual order throughout the world, with the establishment of Rome, the Greek city states, Israel of the later Prophets ...
634. On Binary Star Systems [Books] [de Grazia books]
... systems known to exist and those which have been studied. A highly special sample has well determined orbits, even fewer systems have known masses. Typical orbits are given in Allen. 127 We use the term massing in preference to weighing. An example of massing using Kepler's Harmonic Law; the satellite Triton is 353 megameters form Neptune: the Moon is 384 megameters from the Earth. If both Earth and Neptune had the same mass, the periods of revolution for Triton and Moon about their primaries would be about the same. They are not; the Moon takes 22.3 days to orbit while Triton orbits in 5.9 days. This leads astronomers to conclude that Neptune ...
635. The Conservative Approach to Planetary Catastrophism by Donald W. Patten and Samuel R. Windsor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the eccentricity of the orbit of Mars is seen as reducing from a very high 0 551 (needed to permit interaction between Mars and Venus whilst preserving the 2:1 Mars: Earth resonance) to its modern value of 0 0934. In the revised form of the 701BC catastrophe, Mars is claimed to have passed between the Earth and Moon at or near full moon, appreciably closer to the Earth than to the Moon. Hesiod is said to have observed both this pass and the earlier Mars-Venus interaction (though not in any detail, nor is the matter of the apparent longevity of Hesiod addressed). The precession of the equinoxes is also very firmly claimed not to have ...
636. The Stormer Of The Walls, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of the entire mechanical force released in earthquakes concentrated there. Another area stretches from the Mediterranean toward the highland of Asia. In an attempt to find the relation of earthquakes to other natural phenomena, a statistical investigation of the earthquakes of the middle of the nineteenth century was conducted, and the results suggested that earthquakes are more numerous when the moon is new and again when it is full, or when the pull of the moon acts in the same direction as the pull of the sun or when it acts in the opposite direction. The time when the moon is in perigee, or closest to the earth, was also found to be favourable for earthquakes.16 These observations ...
637. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of cometary circularisation to find plausible mechanisms. Scientific thought may not recently have been undergoing revolutions, but it does appear to be changing its outlook greatly. Old dogmas are being re-examined and some of the wrongs of the past are being put right. We have seen, in the matter of meteorites thought to have come from Mars and the Moon, (WORKSHOP 5:3 , p.33) how scientists ". .. having decided on the origin of these meteorites .. . are now proceeding to try and show to be possible what was hitherto considered statistically improbable, and dynamically and physically impossible." Let us hope that scientists, having decided on the origin ...
638. BOOK REVIEWS [Journals] [Aeon]
... fossil record of that ancient event. The counter-argument, originally championed by Marquis de Laplace, a contemporary of Olbers, maintains that whatever planet may have occupied that primordial position had been an almost insignificant minor body that disintegrated due to the tidal effects of orbiting too close to Jupiter- although one might casually wonder about the stability of the Galilean moons currently enjoying the company of their primary. (7 ) In Van Flandern's scenario, Mars may have been a satellite of this destroyed planet, designated "Planet K" by Canadian astronomer Michael Ovenden, (8 ) inasmuch as it is also theorized that Mercury itself may be a lost moon of Venus, and concurring with received wisdom ...
639. Aeon Volume VI, Number 4: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... pages do not necessarily reflect those of the periodical or its editors. Editor's Page REQUIEM FOR GALILEO It was fourteen years ago, in 1989, that the space shuttle Atlantis blasted off Cape Canaveral carrying with it the Galileo spacecraft. Six years later, in 1995, Galileo commenced to orbit Jupiter while sending information about the giant planet, its moons, and magnetic field even while weathering a constant storm of intense radiation. But then, as Galileo swooped past Jupiter's inner moon, Io, disaster struck. The main antenna refused to unfurl and NASA had to rely on the much smaller omni-directional antenna. Even so, Galileo survived for years beyond its expected life despite the fact that ...
640. Discussion on Wal Thornhill & Ev Cochrane's papers [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 30 pages. Wal Thornhill added that the only way you would see it is from underneath Saturn and at a particular angle of the shish kebab' to the sun. This suggested to him that the Polar Configuration can't have lasted very long. Otherwise we would have seen other images where the crescent grew, rather like the phases of the moon. Q3. Peter James asked: if the sun is our anode, where is our cathode? Wal Thornhill said that we are in what is called a cathodeless' discharge. At night, in some weather conditions, a high voltage power transmission line can be seen to be enveloped in a glow. The electrons in the air ...
