... of optical surveying techniques. We can also understand how for thousands of years the ancients were able to produce miniature carvings on gems, including some so small they are invisible to the naked eye altogether. The burning mirror by which Archimedes destroyed a Roman fleet has been successfully reconstructed and proved to work. The Greek philosopher Democritus spoke of the moon having mountains and being a second earth because he had viewed it through a rudimentary telescope. A similar instrument was used for studying the moon by the ancient British, and Temple has located many lost crystal lenses in English museums. Myths are explained and many religious motifs can now be understood for the first time, from the Eye of ...
812. Thoth Vol VII, No 4: Jun 15, 2003 [Journals] [Thoth]
... The lack of brown dwarf stars is expected in the electric universe model. In that model, stars are essentially a plasma discharge phenomenon. A bright star usurps almost the entire electrical power in its vicinity. Hypothetically, if Jupiter were to be removed beyond the Sun1s electrical influence it would become a more electrically active brown dwarf star. Its moons would become a small planetary system orbiting a dim star. The dull red shell, or "anode glow," of a brown dwarf would surround most of the moons. The conditions for establishment of atmospheres and life on those satellites within the glowing shell would likely be fulfilled. Just like real estate, the prime requirement to become ...
813. Thoth Vol I, No. 4: March 2, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the new plasma cosmology and in turn - in bootstrap fashion - confirm the veracity of ancient testimony. Also, ultimately, it should be easily verifiable. So, I begin with photographs of spark machined surfaces which show circular, ringed craters with melted floors and central peaks, together with simple craters in ratios which mimic those seen on the moon. Then I see photographs of liquid drops falling into viscous liquids, creating effects like a ringed crater. How that relates to the impact of a hypersonic projectile is not clear to me except that we then have the inevitable backup from computer models, which generally include so many variables and assumptions that the results can be made to mimic ...
814. Martian Meteorites in Ancient Myth and Modern Science [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Although visually dissimilar, the three classes of meteorites share numerous features in common. Most of these rocks contain iron-rich silicates and iron oxides, clear evidence that they were created in a rather iron-rich environment. (10) And all of the SNCs show very similar oxygen-isotope compositions, these abundances being distinct from those characteristic of the Earth or Moon. (11) The SNCs are also similar in their relatively young ages. By measuring the decay products of various radioactive isotopes in igneous rocks, it is thought to be possible to determine how long ago the rocks solidified. Known as the crystallization age, the measures obtained for the Nakhlites and Chassigny were on the order of ~ ...
815. Evidence of a Tunguska-type event in the year 1178 AD [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a recent study by Keys a huge volcanic explosion, perhaps triggered by the impacts, blew up a large piece of land in what was once a unique island connecting Sumatra and Java; the caldera collapsed, the islands were separated and Krakatoa is what remains of the exploded volcano. In the year 1178 a special phenomenon was observed on the Moon, a flame jutting out, a change of color and vibrations. This may have been due to an impact on the hidden face, possibly one that formed the Giordano Bruno crater. It is natural to ask if also earth was affected by pieces of the Moon or of the impacting body or bodies. We give hints that the ...
816. On Models and Scenarios [Journals] [Aeon]
... effects. And in some of these instances it would seem that the apparent effects would not easily be explained by any other hypothetical cause. 1. If the theory is correct the Saturnian ring system is new, and it would seem highly probable that the rings are still experiencing a loss of mass that can be measured. And certainly the moons of Saturn and Jupiter should reveal countless global effects of geologically recent upheavals. In other words, it is not necessary to descend to the subtler levels of investigation to begin gathering relevant evidence. Consider, for example, the highly-publicized findings of the Voyager probes reaching Saturn in November, 1980 and August, 1981 and producing the first high-resolution ...
817. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... astronomy. A cloud of electrified gas circles Saturn (and another circles Jupiter) in which temperatures of 60 to 1000 million degrees F have been recorded. But it is important to stress two points: one is that this doughnut-shaped gas plasma cloud is extremely tenuous, the other is that it circles Saturn out in the regions of two icy moons Dione and Rhea. This "cloud" can therefore hardly be described as a part of Saturn's upper atmosphere: indeed there is a gaping void between it and Saturn's upper atmosphere. I understand Mr Sieff postulates the generation of heavier elements in his "limited fusion process", which takes place in the outer layers, and that these ...
818. Philologos | The Legends of the Jews: Volume IV [Books]
... , yet it cannot pass its limits. With His word He created the firmament, which He stretched out like a cloud in the air; He cast it over the world like a dark vault, like a tent it is spread over the earth. In His strength He upholds all there is above and below. The sun, the moon, and the Pleiades run before Him, the stars and the planets are not idle for a single moment; they rest not, they speed before Him as His messengers, going to the right and to the left, to do the will of Him who created them. To Him praise is due, before Him we must prostrate ...
819. The Dresden Codex and Velikovsky's Catastrophe Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , and their study has been very rewarding. The Maya number system and use of zero, as well as their calendars and dating systems, were brought to light very early, but the use and interpretation of some tables are still subject to lively debate. It can definitely be shown that certain tables describe the periods of the sun, moon, and planets with amazing accuracy. There are tables of greater sophistication which can be used to predict eclipses and the heliacal risings of Venus, and there is evidence that the precession of the equinoxes was recognised. So much of this scholarly work has been focussed upon the Dresden Codex that there is now rather general agreement concerning the nature ...
820. Electrostatics & Dust on Eros [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... on size of the dust particle, there will be a strong fractionation effect. Particles in a certain size interval will be able to hop over large distances before returning to the surface. The tiniest particles will escape. In addition, there will be interesting effects if the particle enters the body's shadow and loses its positive charge. On the Moon, there are regions in perpetual shadow. I don't know the situation on Eros, but we should look for the effect. Of course, once we land astronauts on Phobos and Deimos, we will be able to carry out the detailed measurements that are required. On to Mars! From S. Fred Singer <singer@sepp ...
