... From: Aeon III:5 (May 1994) Home | Issue Contents BOOK REVIEWS Tom Van Flandern, Dark Matter, Missing Planets & New Comets. (Paradoxes Resolved, Origins Illuminated) (North Atlantic Books: Berkeley) 1993.Reviewed by Frederic B. Jueneman (c ) 1994 by Frederic B. Jueneman Are the underpinnings of science- and especially cosmology- beginning to come apart at the seams? One would think so, since over the last two decades there has been a deliberate unraveling of the skein of hard-won knowledge accumulated over the last century or so by a growing cadre of nonconformists who have been questioning the wisdom of their intellectual forebears and academic mentors ...
302. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... of his wife's astrological chart, thereby imitating a long line of kings going back to the ancient Babylonians. As incredible as is the prospect of a modern president held pawn by the "science" of astrology, equally incredible is a central tenet of conventional archaeo-astronomy- that the myths and legends sur-rounding the various stars and constellations actually had their origin in the peaceful appearance and mundane movements of those celestial bodies. A greater fallacy it would be difficult to find. Take whichever asterism you please and there is no making sense of the traditions surrounding it in terms of its present appearance. How could such a situation arise? Since the inauguration of this journal eight years ago, our ...
303. Oberg's Unscientific Method [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Apollo 15-17 missions orbited at altitudes substantially lower than that of Explorer 35 and detected local magnetic fluctuations between 20 and 30 gammas. These fluctuations turned out to be correlated with specific formations (craters) on the lunar surface overflown by the magnometer. The carriers of this field are brecciated rocks produced by impacts. At any rate, the origin of this field which fluctuates with topography can only be skin deep and has nothing to do with the deep interior. The same is not true of the remanent magnetism of lunar crystalline rocks which are found deeper below the surface.(24) (Emphasis added.) Kopal has told us, contrary to Oberg's assertion, that there ...
304. Comalcalco: A Case for Early Pre-Columbian Contact and Influence? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Great Acropolis (see fig. 1). A third complex known as the East Acropolis, which lies east of the North Plaza and seems to be a small scale version of the Great Acropolis, has not been excavated. Although the entire site extends 700-1000 feet in all directions, the North Plaza and the Great Acropolis form the original ceremonial centre. The North Plaza is a large, open space with three mounds in the centre. Its longest axis runs east/west and it is bounded on the north, south and east sides by long platform mounds which supported temples, some of which have been partially restored. The western extremity is bounded by Temple 1 ( ...
305. An Alternative to the Ejection of Venus from Jupiter in Velikovsky's Catastrophic Theory of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Andrew Hamilton Dr Keister is Professor of Physics at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee; Andrew Hamilton, B.A . Maths. (Oxon.), M.A . (Liverpool), is Senior Editor of S.I .S . Review and presently studying physical astronomy at London University. The question of Velikovsky's proposed origin of Venus by ejection from Jupiter has occupied a number of researchers and presented some problems. This paper suggests, as an alternative, that Venus' origin lies elsewhere, and that the "birth" stories refer to a spectacular "close encounter" with the giant planet. Abstract Some difficulties of Velikovsky's theory of the expulsion of Venus ...

307. Kintraw and Bibby (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , L. Stromquist, Geografska Annaler 61A, 3-4 (1979). J. S. Bibby, "Petrofabric analysis" in E. W. MacKie, Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. 276 (London, 1974). Thomas McCreery Replies: My attention has been drawn to J. S. Bibby's response to my original article dealing with his use of petrofabric contours at Kintraw. I must confess to being disturbed by this reply which substitutes, for the most part, ad hominem rancour in lieu of rational or informed argument. By any standards it may be regarded as a minor masterpiece of deliberate obfuscation, for it does little to answer the defects inherent ...
308. Cataclysmic Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... germ plasma, a biological mutation takes place, comparable to the physical transmutation of the elements. After all, the genes, like any proteins, are biochemical compounds composed of carbon, nitrogen, and a few other elements. Should a somatic chromosome be hit by a powerful charge, it might at worst cause disorganized growth and be the origin of a neo-plasma; but if the genes of the germ plasma should be the target of a collision with a cosmic ray or secondary radiation, a mutation in the progeny might ensue; and should many such hits occur, the origin of a new species, most probably incapable of individual or genetic life, but in some cases capable ...
309. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 1 (Jul 1981) Home | Issue Contents Letters The Great Red Spot on Jupiter Dear Sir, Dr Garry Hunt, in "The Weather on Jupiter" (NEW SCIENTIST 21 May) writes: "Without doubt, the Great Red Spot and the other large features are meteorological in origin .. ." and starts his next sentence with "Certainly". The use of such positive terms is not a good scientific attitude, especially as he goes on to say that the nature and origin of the red material of the "spot" is still a mystery. The amount of this material is far greater than the volume of ...
310. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have involved the repair of deficient genes, so restoring them to a pattern already well established, but have not involved changes to new and viable patterns. Thus while the results "flout all the rules of molecular biology", and are already forcing biologists to rethink some of their most cherished tenets, they do not directly relate to the origin of new species. One indirect implication for evolution is however evident. Where neo-Darwinists have had to posit enormous time scales to accommodate the emergence of those adaptive changes requiring mutations in several genes (i .e . almost all significant changes) it now seems possible, and even probable, that such linked mutations arise almost simultaneously and hence ...
