... would appear to be better evidence for "punctuated equilibrium", especially as the evidence points to the placement of this lengthy interim period by an "instantaneous glacierization" with the "area of ice-rafted debris increased dramatically" Fundamentally the Same source: Daily Telegraph 25.1 .83 In a series of experiments at the Geneva Centre for Nuclear Physics two of the four "fundamental forces of nature" have been shown to be the same. These identical forces are, according to a spokesman reported by Adrian Berry for the Telegraph, the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force. However, to date nobody has yet been able to "marry" the other two fundamental forces of ...
392. In Defence of Sir Fred Hoyle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol VII Part A (1985) Home | Issue Contents Focus SCIENCE & METAPHYSICS In Defence of Sir Fred Hoyle Dr Michael Shallis Dr Michael Shallis is staff tutor in physical science in the Department for External Studies at the University of Oxford. The scientific community, it is alleged, has got it in for Sir Fred Hoyle, accusing him of "going over the top", of producing "barmy" theories. Although his views were given an official airing at a recent Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) Meeting, Hoyle attracts hostility and ridicule from his professional colleagues like honey attracts bees. Just what is it that the scientists don't like? Could ...
393. A Model of the Polar Configuration [Articles]
... A Model of the Polar Configuration Robert Grubaugh I've been following David Talbott's material for a number of years, and the first response, generally, to what he had proposed in the way of the planets all lined up like a "shish-ka-bob" was, "That's nonsense, David. It's against the laws of physics; you can't do that. Kepler's Laws and all that sort of thing...You're dreaming. Forget about it." Well, when I got wind of this I thought, "Well, my goodness, I don't believe that's the case at all. I believe that Kepler's Laws do not necessarily apply to this kind of a configuration. ...

395. Thoth Vol VII, No 4: Jun 15, 2003 [Journals] [Thoth]
... that a multi-planet system is inherently chaotic if gravity is the only force operating. But in an electric universe there is a damping mechanism to limit wild excursions. It seems that exchange of charge between planets via their magnetotails (plasma sheaths) is capable of maintaining orbital spacing so as to limit further electrical interaction. This mechanism may provide a physical basis for Bode1s relationship. And a planet moving eccentrically in the weak electric field of a star suffers a cometary discharge that acts to reduce the eccentricity of its orbit. The effect has been noted for tiny solar comets and mysteriously termed a "non-gravitational" force. It is more effective than tidal interactions at circularising orbits. SCIENCE REWRITES ...
396. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , who are resource-starved and have become quite adapted to feeding upon the evidence and criticism offered by their opponents. Writing at end of 1977, a historian of science, A. M. Paterson, declared [10]: Actually, the battle is over. Dr Velikovsky has emerged the victor because his scientific hypotheses that there have been physical planetary catastrophes in historical times has been proven to have enormous predictive power. For example, a few from very, very many may be listed: Radio noise from Jupiter, strong charge on Jupiter (1953); Earth's extensive magnetosphere (1956); an extensive magnetic field in the solar system extending to Pluto (1946); ...
397. Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... : Pensée Vol. 3 No 2: (Spring-Summer 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism Thomas Mowles Evidence supporting Worlds in Collision' Thomas Mowles is an engineer, Inorganic Materials Research Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, California. 1. INTRODUCTION In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky proposed a physical, catastrophic hypothesis based primarily upon historical evidences (1 ). Scientists, however, will not accept such a hypothesis unless the physical evidence is compelling, and historians are not likely to interpret their own data in opposition to the "laws of science." Nor will purely theoretical models carry much weight in supporting so revolutionary a hypothesis ...

... shared- that have profoundly affected our way of thinking about the world in which we live: Shifts in thinking about cosmology and evolution, and in subsets of scientific disciplines as computers and microelectronics, molecular biology, nucleonics, paleoarcheology, and the like. What is even more interesting is that there have been no major scientific breakthroughs in the physical sciences during this same period of time. Actually it's been much longer, as the last one- the invention of the laser by Theodore Maiman of Hughes Research Labs- was made in 1960. (The finding of high-temperature ceramometallic superconductors in 1986 by Nobelists Georg Bednorz and Alex MÜller of IBM Zurich was really a remarkable developmental advance rather ...

... , op. cit., p. 443] His model even overestimates perennial snowcover because of two simplifying assumptions. The scientific basis for this conclusion is that the melting of snow is controlled more by solar radiation, which is abundant at higher latitudes in summer than by air temperature. [W . S. B. Paterson, The Physics of Glacier, 2ed., (New York, 1981), p. 313] Researchers have been focusing too much on the latter. At a temperature drop of 12 C... the air would hold 60% less water vapor at saturation. This is a large decrease in moisture, which was not taken into account ...
400. The Dragon in Myth and Folklore [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Similarly, much later the Psalmist proclaimed: "Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps" (Psalm 148:7 ). The context of living creatures being brought forth abundant in the waters in Genesis 1:21 and in the deeps in Psalm 148:7 clearly indicate dragons in the sea, our physical dragons. However, Rashi's comment indicates the identification that was made between the earthly type and its celestial archetype. For while Pharaoh, King of Egypt, might be identified with "the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers" (Ezekiel 29:3 ), Isaiah obviously had an end-time cosmic context in mind when ...
