... him of George R. Talbott's cooling model, then coming in KRONOS IV:2 (Letter, CLE to DM, Aug. 22,1978), he replied: "The presence of volcanic land forms on Venus, as suggested by radar imagery, does not imply currently active volcanism on that planet anymore than on Mars or the Moon" (Letter, DM to CLE, Sept. 20,1978). This reply, tempered by faith in the green house effect, ignored the significance both of Talbott's model and of the temperature difference between Earth, Moon and Venus. Today, the case for volcanism is supported by five lines of reasoning (3 , 11 ...
722. Saturn: In Myth and Religion [Journals] [Kronos]
... and Religion Dwardu Cardona Copyright (c ) 1983/1984 by Dwardu Cardona This paper is an adaptation of "Trilogies, Trinities, and Triads," which originally appeared in CSISN 2:1 (August 1983). 1. Trinities In their book, The Cosmic Serpent, Victor Clube and Bill Napier alluded to the Sun, the Moon, and Venus as a trilogy'(1 ) when it is obvious they meant "trinity". I'm not certain what this says for their mythological expertise but it is not a reassuring indication. Even had they used the word "trinity", it would still have been incorrect. While it is true that, generally speaking, ...
723. Holy Dreamtime [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIVE Holy Dreamtime Before the Love Affair had been played and sung Odysseus was reduced to tears by Demodocus' singing of the Trojan War. And, later on, hours after the Love Affair has been played Odysseus offers a gift to Demodocus and addressed him: Demodocus I proclaim you the most distinguished of all mortals. Either the Muse, daughter of Zeus, instructed you, or Apollo you directly. For you chant the fate of the Achaeans absolutely according to its proper ordering: What they did and had done to them and what distress they suffered - as if ...
724. Expansion and Contraction [Books] [de Grazia books]
... these elevations are due to this cause."[2 ] He finds that an increase in mass is impossible. He then turns for an explanation from a simple temperature rise to the possible pressure of water and steam, and since he was unaware of the lack of water over the rock of ocean beds, and since he presumed the Moon eruption and the catastrophic period to be very ancient, he called upon a still watery mantle to produce the necessary thermodynamics for expansion. Even were the age to be granted, the mechanism would be hopeless for the task. No exploding steam engine could blow the material of the Moon basin into space. Carey and Jordan have devoted books ...
725. On Celestial Mechanics [Journals] [Pensee]
... the author would presumably be the last person in the world to deny the possibility of our whole galaxy (say) being charged and being at a different potential from "infinity." The same miscomprehension is illustrated by the distinction the author draws two paragraphs later: "We have ample evidence that the sun, the earth, and the moon are electrically charged bodies. Only one of the three- the moon seems to have an electric potential equal to that of its environment, but from this we can only conclude that the environment itself has a potential as high as that of the moon." 4) Which theorists have tried "to minimize or even deny .. . ...
726. Electrical Discharges and the Transmutation of Elements [Journals] [Pensee]
... No 3: (Summer 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VIII" Home | Issue Contents Electrical Discharges and the Transmutation of Elements Explaining the radioactivity at Aristarchus In his March 14, 1967 memorandum to the Space Board of the National Academy of Sciences, Velikovsky wrote: "Because of the intensity and multiplicity of the interplanetary bolts to which the Moon was subjected only 27 and 35 centuries ago (as described in Worlds in Collision) radioactivity must still be present on the surface of the Moon in quantity damaging to unprotected man or animal and by far exceeding any exposure regarded as safe." This advance claim of strong radioactivity on the lunar surface was in some measure substantiated by the ...
727. Global Catastrophes: New Evidence from Astronomy, Biology and Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... V:3 , pp. 73-4), has proved to be something of a bombshell to both the uniformitarian and catastrophist schools of thought. Dr Clube's talk, "Comets - the cause of historic and prehistoric catastrophes", began with a re-examination of some of the key factors involved in the Copernican revolution. Though Galileo's discovery of the moons of Jupiter was clearly a major factor, Clube focussed on one which he felt had been unduly neglected, though it was of equal importance and just as traumatic for the orthodoxy of the time: the discovery that the Milky Way really consisted of a vast number of stars at a great distance. Apart from the implications for the place ...
728. CD-Rom Reviews [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ://www.holoscience.com for ordering details The role of electricity in the cosmos is one of the most intriguing questions raised by Immanuel Velikovsky's work. Could gravity be electrical in origin? Might the Sun and stars be illuminated by massive cosmic electrical discharges, rather than internal nuclear reactions? Are the craters on Venus, the Moon and Mars volcanic in origin, or are were they caused by interplanetary electrical discharges? Since Velikovsky's time, space probes and radio telescopes have transformed the orthodox view of the universe and astrophysicists now recognise that electromagnetic phenomena pervade what used to be referred to as the vacuum of space'. However there is still a fundamental division between conventional ...
729. Brains Trust - Chronology and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... about Newgrange and N. Ireland's old barrows, rather than those elsewhere? Len Saunders replied that he was simply reporting that there are tens of thousands of fire-blackened stones in N Ireland and in SW Scotland. Some have speculated these were caused by volcanic eruptions in Greenland. He is putting forward another theory - if these four satellites left the Moon one by one and crashed to the earth, we would have had an incendiary shower which could have taken that form. The beauty of the theory is that it gives us almost limitless reasons for earthquakes and spot catastrophes around the world. He saw this as one option and it could have led to building several shelters over there. ...
730. Stonehenge: Neolithic Man and the Cosmos, by John North [Journals] [SIS Review]
... He is a professor and the author of several books on unrelated subjects and only time will tell whether or not his ideas have any credence. My interest was immediately awakened by his alignments to star clusters such as the Pleiades and the Hyades, a distinct difference from other researchers who confined themselves almost exclusively to alignments involving the Sun and the Moon. A large portion of the book is taken up by Stonehenge which he claims was a temple aligned to the setting midwinter Sun rather than to the popularised midsummer sunrise. I shall leave somebody else within SIS to evaluate this shift of emphasis, but note that he makes some interesting points about lozenge decoration, alignments and Alexander Thom's megalithic ...
