... life forms would survive? Difficult to say. A collision like the one you describe would probably puncture the Earth's crust, and the Earth's mantle would be involved in the collision. Ejecta from the collision would not just fall back to the surface (a lot of it would!) but be blasted out into orbit around the Earth/Moon system. The Earth could even develop a ring of matter similar to the one Saturn and Uranus have. Climate? It would be different. : -) From: Martyn Fogg, mfogg@cix.compulink.co.uk Date: Sun, 17 Sep 1995 14:23:05 GMT The Earth is a rapidly spinning ...
762. Comets Contagion and Contingency [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... different, the theories have curious similarities. Both of these extraordinary cosmologies attack accepted theories of evolution and palaeontology, both accept the possibility of extra-terrestrial life (although this has differing degrees of importance for the two theories), both have led the authors to make successful predictions about other members of the solar system (Venus, Jupiter and the moon in the case of Velikovsky, Halley's comet in the case of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe), and both sets of authors have found their predictions explained away after they have been fulfilled[7 ,8 ]. A final irony, which would not, however, surprise Immanuel Velikovsky, is that there is no reference to his work in ...
763. Natural Catastrophes in the Ninth Century AD C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the mild weather. In contrast, the winter of 810-811 was said to be extremely cold, following a year in which there had been widespread loss of animals through pestilence and which featured both solar and lunar eclipses. Confirming these details, the opening entry of the Annals of Xanten, in 810 AD, was, The sun and moon failed twice, the sun on 8 June and the moon on 21 June, and King Pippin, the Emperor's son, passed away. And the elephant which Aaron [Harun al-Raschid, Caliph of Baghdad] had sent the Emperor died, and there were great losses among cattle and other beasts that year, and the winter was very ...

765. The Censorship of Velikovsky's Interdisciplinary Synthesis [Journals] [Pensee]
... in large part by the observer's intenzioni, the whole "set" that he brings to his work. Sometimes these disciplinary "sets" are so influential in our methodology that we decide in advance what ramifications will ensue even from "facts" whose nature is not yet known! And so NASA was able to announce, prior to any moon landing, that the findings of such expeditions would shed further light on the creation of the solar system some billions of years ago, when, as everyone (except Velikovsky) knows, the moon's features were being formed. Here it would seem that each investigator works on his own specialized assignment, and has no responsibility for the overall ...
766. The McMaster University Symposium - June 1974 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Thom and others. Thom and his colleagues have identified numerous alignments which cluster clearly around various astronomical declinations. Because the stones are reasonably well dated to the late 3rd and 2nd millennia BC - several centuries before Velikovsky's great double catastrophe of the 15th century BC - and since the peaks of declination have been well identified with the Sun, Moon and stars on uniformitarian assumptions (retrojecting mathematically the modern celestial order into the past) it is clear that the megaliths pose a problem for the concept of a catastrophic cosmology. The whole phenomenon of the standing stone observatories - their apparent relatively sudden appearance in large numbers in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze periods at about the same time ...

768. The Domestication of Cattle. Interdisciplinary Evidence in Support of Catastrophism [Journals] [SIS Review]
... rituals consequently caused such a major step in mankind's economy, is assumed by Isaac to be a lunar one. Readers' of Velikovsky will recognize that this assumption is not necessarily valid, and that other celestial bodies, Venus in particular, were also thought of as possessing crescent-shaped horns. Indeed, this very identification of horns with the crescent moon in traditional thinking may well have led to some of the confusion in the identities of the Moon and Venus. Comparative anatomy of animal remains at archaeological sites appears to parallel the story of domestication as interpreted through reliefs, paintings and grave goods. Wild Urus are seen as being caught and corralled in order to have a ready supply of ...

... file. Although Putnam was fired by Macmillan in 1950, these papers cover up to 1963. They may therefore include additional material on Shapley's Epilogue to Doyle's book.) Appeal For Help Eric Aitchison, from North Lambton, Australia, writes: Of added support to the contention that all was not well in the eclipse mode of Sun and Moon in the period of Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal, I cite the following: "1 . This period of two hundred and twenty three lunations is that described by Ptolemy in the fourth book of his Astronomy, in which he deals with the average motion of the moon. The Chaldeans seem notto have been able to make a skilful use of ...
770. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , The Complete Books of Charles Fort (Dover Pubs. / Constable £9 .75). Fort was the one-man Source Book Project of his time - the first thirty years of this century. He spent twenty-six years collecting odd happenings and data - red snows, falls of "manna", lights in the sea and on the moon - and used them with wit and imagination to attack dogmatic science. He had particular scorn for the astronomers, who he considered were "led by a cloud of rubbish by day and a pillar of bosh by night", and took great delight in extracting from their own writings those more wildly wrong predictions which they would have preferred ...
