... than the response of white blood cells to environmental agents need involve consciousness. Thus, classic Lamarckism does not necessarily involve conscious processes; neither does it preclude them. Ev Cochrane Ames, IA REFERENCES 1. Richard Burkhardt, The Spirit of System: Lamarck and Evolutionary Biology (London, 1977), p. 175. METEORITES FROM THE MOON OR MARS To the Editor of KRONOS: In Antarctica's Allen Hills, meteorites litter the ground, exposed where glacial ice has evaporated. Ian Whillans of Ohio State University's Institute for Polar Studies and William A. Cassidy of the University of Pittsburgh have investigated the reasons for the abundance of meteorites. Their conclusions: 1 . The ages of ...
702. Pendulums and Sunspots [Journals] [Aeon]
... because Allais's pendulum abruptly changed the plain of its oscillation not just its amplitude. There were other diurnal periodic motions discovered by Allais's pendulum- a 24 and 25 hour periodic variation- which was also detected by Saxl's and Allen's apparatus. As Allais specifically states: "These periodic components cannot be identified with those due to gravitational effect of the Moon and Sun, such as they may be computed from the double principle of inertia and the universal [gravitational] attraction, for those are approximately one hundred million times smaller."(24) Allais also recorded these same results with his pendulum when it was operated 57 meters (about 188 feet) underground.(25) Saxl ...
703. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... calendrics has been proposed by Gunnar Heinsohn? I have two reasons for asking: (1 ) In the book "Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky" the chapter on chronology & retro-calculation archaeoastronomy by my friend Lynn Rose, whose astuteness and diligence I respect greatly, says that his work (has he published a book called "Sun, Moon, Sothis" [if so, who published it?]) has convinced him against his prior expectations (and almost against his will) that Heinsohn is right. (2 ) My brother George, President of the Institute for Nautical Archaeology, tells me that he personally excavated a bronze age' shipwreck and dated it around 1 ...
704. The Thermal Balance Of Venus, Part 2 Mars Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Venus Radiometric observations at the Mount Wilson and Flagstaff observatories in 1922 have shown that "a considerable amount of heat" is emitted by the dark part of the disc of the planet Venus. Venus, being nearer to the sun than the earth, turns in succession its illuminated and shaded parts toward the earth: it shows phases like the moon. The temperature of the day and night sides of Venus was measured by a radiometric method and it was foun d that there is "a nearly uniform temperature over the planet's surface both on the illuminated and dark hemispheres." "This sentence [of E. Pettit and S. B. Nicholson] is a terse statement of ...
705. Appendices (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... flashes (i . 13) became visible, while the general illumination of the disk was more yellow; the English text calls this colour `amber', but the word thus translate80 may also, and betters be rendered `electrum', auriferous silver. Before its breakdown the former satellite was about a thousand times brighter than our present moon. THE SECOND MYTH (Ezek. i. 15-21; x. 9-13) (i . 15) Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. (16) The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl ...
706. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... seem to be contradictory. He gives reasons why computer and mathematical calculations of the movements of planets in the Solar System are not reliable in relation to long periods of time. Then he goes on to say that "there is no evidence that we need to go beyond Newton's Law of Gravitation in explaining the observed movements of the planets, moons" etc. If we cannot describe the movements of the planets accurately, how do we know if these movements have been regulated only by gravitation? What of the evidence by G. F. Dodwell that something very odd happened to the Earth in 2300 BC? Dr Bass states that Dodwell wrote a book but it was not published ...
707. Jupiter God of Abraham (Part IV) [Journals] [Kronos]
... . . [Jupiter] whips its lines of magnetic force deep into space sometimes as far as 6.5 million miles. As a result, they form a huge disk-shaped magnetic field; the electrons and protons that swirl within it create powerful electrical currents that may discharge lightning bolts all the way to Io, the innermost of Jupiter's nine moons."(282) According to Pliny, a thunderbolt once fell from the planet Mars on the Tuscan town of Bolsena which was thus entirely burned up.(283) Seneca claimed that a bolt from Jupiter felled a "threefold mass of mountains".(284) On the Acropolis of Athens there was a sacred spot where ...
708. Thoth Vol I, No. 21: August 11, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Yet, it is well known among astronomers that Newton1s law of gravity when applied to more than 2 orbiting bodies, leads in a relatively short time to chaotic motion. How can the solar system have remained in its apparently stable configuration for the 5 eons required by current theories of solar system evolution? And why, if the planets and moons were formed from the same primordial cloud of gas and dust, are they such a fruit salad of physical characteristics, axial tilts, rotation rates and orbits? Why do many of the moons show sharp hemispherical differences? What really caused the strange pristine scars seen on the inner planets and moons? How is it that many of these ...
709. The Selection of the Site (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... one considers all these factors, the more one is convinced that, at the time when the enigmatic city was built, very different climatic and other conditions obtained in this part of the world, nay, that the whole world then showed quite another face. Here Hoerbiger's Theory is helpful. At the time when the predecessor of our present Moon had approached so close through cosmic reasons that it swung round the Earth about three times in two days, the waters of the oceans had been drawn into the tropical zone and held there in a great tidal belt, the girdle-tide'. The axis, or central line, of this water ring coincided with the line where the orbital ...
710. Velikovsky and the Sequence of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [Pensee]
... equal to 1.1295 of our present years, some important consequences follow: The length of the post-Beth-horon "day" would have been 27.5 modern hours. The length of the post-Beth-horon "month" --that is, the synodic period of the Moon- would have been 34.38 modern days; thus the sidereal period of the Moon would have been 31.74 modern days (which is 1.1615 times its present value), and the semimajor axis of the Moon's orbit would have been (1 .1615)2 /3 = 1.105 times its present value. The semimajor axis of Earth's orbit would have been (1 .1295)2 ...
