... , to cut Earth's rotation rate in half requires 100 million times more charge than Earth can possibly hold. Even the millisecond rotational "glitch" of the "Danjon effect" requires about 10,000 times more electric charge than the Earth is physically capable of holding. In Pensée IX and X, Juergens discussed electrical cratering of Mars and Moon as superior to impact cratering. However, the same reasoning used in AEON II:2 indicates that the charge levels postulated by Juergens for Mars and Earth are five orders of magnitude, or 100,000 times, greater than physically possible. Juergens never gave credence to the possibility of upper limits to coulomb charge levels. His blind ...
742. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... may be an exciting and potentially fruitful point of entry into understanding the past, but such material needs to be assessed in the light of what is physically possible (a sometimes fallible criterion) and the physical evidence. In AEON 1:4 , Talbott has a section on "Physical Evidence" that deals with Saturn, Jupiter, their moons, Mars, and Venus. Conspicuously absent is the Earth! This absence is telling. Personally, I do not know of a single feature on Earth that requires the polar configuration for its explanation, while there are many that are incompatible with such a former situation. In AEON I:3 , Roger Ashton reasoned persuasively that whatever ...
743. Io's wandering plumes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . The most likely source of oxygen is water ice, found also on the other Galilean satellites of Jupiter, particularly Europa. And it is on Europa that reddish coloration is found alongside the largest furrows (they are not cracks in the ice). None of the usual geological principles are much use in interpreting the features seen on Jupiter's moons. For that matter, it remains to be seen whether they apply on Earth. "Seeing Red" seems a popular headline these days!?

744. The Science of Catastrophic Events [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... once the prerogative of 18th-century geologists steeped in the Biblical memory of the Great Flood, has now regained respectability. Catastrophism applies to many disciplines such as planetary science, biology, climatology, and evolutionary theory. The universe itself, we now believe, is a product of a giant cosmic catastrophe. Indeed life itself may have arisen when the moon may have crystallized out of a crashing mini-planet that enabled organisms to emerge into tidal pools. Floods and natural disasters seem to be on the increase everywhere and are no longer just a "Third World" problem. The fear of climatic disturbances are the source of regular international conferences, and it is seriously suggested that the U.S ...
745. Chapter IX: Other Similar Shrines Elsewhere [Books]
... favourite number of Chinese philosophy, is reached in the outermost circle of eighty-one stones. "The same symbolism is carried throughout the balustrades, the steps, and the two lower terraces of the altar. Four flights of steps of nine each lead down to the middle terrace, where are placed the tablets to the spirits of the sun, moon, and stars and the year god, Tai-sui. The sun and stars take the east, and the moon and Tai-sui the west: the stars are the twenty-eight constellations of the Chinese zodiac, borrowed by the Hindoos soon after the Christian era, and called by them the Naksha-tras, the Tai-sui is' a deification of the sixty-year ...
746. The shaping of the earth's topography [Books]
... those breaks in the (geological) series that are actually found in the rocks. 2 (Italics by present author.) M. J. S. Innes, of the Dominion Observatory of Ottawa says: `There is a growing conviction that during its early history, the Earth may have had a landscape similar to that of the Moon today .. .. Acceptance of meteoritic impact as a dominant factor in the development of the Earth's early surface features may provide an explanation for many sedimentary basins, in shield areas and in casement rocks which cannot be accounted for by erosion, and for which no explanation is usually offered.3 (Italics by present author.) ...
747. Comets And Catastrophes [Journals] [Pensee]
... encounters during the last 35 million years. Petroleum may have been formed during many of these events by a process such as that proposed by Oro and Han (Science, 153, 1966, 1393): "aromatic hydrocarbons and other organic compounds may have been formed as a result of collisions of comets with planets or satellites such as the moon and collisions of large meteorites with planets containing reducing atmospheres." Some of the petroleum from the Venus encounter may have originated on Jupiter. W. F. Libby has suggested (seminar at University of Houston, July 12, 1966) that "oil" is raining on Jupiter, and Oro and Han cite the possibility that petroleum ...
748. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Now a Californian team studying the times at which all the large earthquakes affecting southern California between 1933 and 1980 (plus 4 earlier events) took place have found a strong correlation between earthquake onset and two stages of the Moon's path around the Earth. The researchers did find a correlation, as perhaps predictable, between the full or new moon and earthquake activity. However, it can not be seen as a simple gravitational effect of new moon, when the Moon's gravitational pull is lined up with that of the Sun, for there was no correlation with the times of moonrise or moonset. Instead, a correlation was found between earthquake activity and new moon at 6am and 6pm ...
749. The Martian Deluge [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... RS images, we can only interpret those features that fit our system, the others will either pass unnoticed or stand out as I non-sense'. If our system is based on very fragmentary or arbitrary data, the amount of non-sense coming to us when there is a sudden influx of data from new areas (Amazonia, Antarctica, the Moon, Mars) may be overwhelming, and puzzle a while even those who have faith in the system. There is, of course, nothing like faith to solve puzzles, by sweeping them under the carpet! That is one possible course of action, and a common one too. Another procedure becomes possible when we reject the assumption ...
750. Thoth [Journals] [Thoth]
... a mind-stretching convergence of physics with the global testimony of ancient witnesses. Only a few thousand years ago, the violent interplay of planets inspired ancient stories of earth-threatening cosmic upheavals. Planetary gods battled in the sky, pounding each other with lightning bolts. And now, this planetary drama can be verified in the dominant scarring patterns of planets and moons, showing unmistakable markers of electrical discharges. The evidence suggests that very recently on the geological time scale interplanetary lightning flew between these bodies when they moved on unstable orbits. But Thornhill does not stop with a visual display of unexplained crater and rille patterns; he gives us laboratory demonstrations. The conclusion? Electricity is the one force which ...
