... in the history of life," whereupon we must add "large-scale replacements" to our list of euphemism. Nearly two centuries after Cuvier, thirty-three years (one Jeffersonian generation) after Schindewolf, 23 years after V. and even a couple of years after the laggard Deg, it is written that "there is increasing evidence that major physical changes caused more large-scale evolutionary changes than has competition," and that competition or natural selection "will rarely be the sole cause, whereas it could be postulated that a catastrophic change in the physical environment is sufficient on its own." Warner Sizemore Richard Nixon and his henchmen were accused of covering up the Watergate Affair, their slogan ...
432. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... females. It would have been most interesting to read some explanation of how the forest community came to be preserved so well - perhaps a rapid and catastrophic burial? - but the write-up is silent on this matter. Model supernovas won't explode source: Scientific American July 1988, p. 12 Computer models of supernovas, taking into account nuclear physics, general relativity and hydrodynamics, appear to be rather reluctant to actually explode'. Could there be some secret ingredient missing from the programs - such as electricity? Surprised astronomers view cometary tail source: New Scientist 11.8 .88, p. 25 Halley's comet is now too far from the Sun for its frozen water and ...
433. Ice Cores of Greenland [Books] [de Grazia books]
... study" whose deadliness to the opposition was not originally intended. Such would be the study of ice cores of Greenland and Antarctica. Their purpose is multiform; a Danish group of glaciologists writes: "Ice cores have become an important tool in geophysics and atmospheric chemistry. Langway (1967) first perceived the great and many-sided aspects of extending physical and chemical analyses of snow and ice to what Crary (1970) calls: the thin dimension' of glaciers, thereby adding time to the parameters considered. In a more recent paper, Dansgaard and others (1973) listed the potentialities of polar ice-core and bore-hole studies relevant to glaciology, meteorology, climatology, geology, volcanology, ...
434. Isaac Asimov in Absurdity [Books]
... knocking down full grown men and causing them to roll for a thousand miles, or the Earth's crust melting based on Asimov and Payne-Gaposchkin's thinking, one realizes that the entire argument is a colossal, thoughtless absurdity. All this was presented before Asimov wrote his attack and read Sagan's work, but he never retracted this criticism. This is fundamental physics; but what does physics mean to Asimov? Nothing! Asimov next goes on to attack: "But let us move on. Velikovsky needs a rain of burning fire to explain certain Biblical allusions and he finds a great deal of talk about such combustive events in his myths. "You and I might suppose that the experience of ...
435. Venus' Atmosphere [Journals] [Pensee]
... tails of comets that disclosed the presence, even abundant presence, of hydrocarbons. In my understanding those comets originated in the disturbances that accompanied the near collisions of Venus with other celestial bodies; thus the evidence appears to be still present. In Worlds in Collision, towards the end of the book, I put two sections concerning Venus' physical properties. One deals with its atmosphere (" The Gases of Venus"), the other with its thermal state (" The Thermal Balance of Venus"). Since I claimed that Venus is extremely hot, I also maintained that any hydrocarbons present in its lower atmosphere must be in a gaseous state, though some of the ...
436. Internet Universe: Free book previews [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... "How did the mind evolve? It takes a scientist of extraordinary breadth who is also a master storyteller to sketch the boundaries of this mega-narrative, and William Calvin has once again given us a feast of new perspectives, enriching the vision of our future as much as our past." Broken Arrow Of Time Rethinking The Revolution In Modern Physics by James G Bloyd, publ. July 2001, 108 pages, ISBN: 0-595-17874-X. $10.95. $27.95. This example of critical writing examines the arrow of time as it is conceived by theoretical physicists. Exploring areas in science from quantum theory and relativity to cognitive science and philosophy, the book appeals ...

438. Aster and Disaster: The Golden Age - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... environment of the Golden Age, it may be insufficient to speak in terms of predominant negatives, noting that it knew no winter and no night. For the period almost certainly had strongly positive characteristics, such as a steady influx of health giving energy to Earth from Aster. A likely result of this influx would have been rapid healing of physical injuries (which were presumably rarer then than now). Such healing might have been analogous to the accelerated tissue-repair known to occur today in response to low level electrical current. And, because the energy-source of that era was so much greater and so much more readily available, it may well be that limb-regeneration of the kind no longer ...

... (Ph. D., University of Bristol, England) Dr. Wolfe is presently Professor of English at the Departement des Etudes Anglaises in the Université de Montreal. He has been a contributor and senior editor to the journal KRONOS, as well as contributor to SIS Review and AEON. Charles Ginenthal was a teacher of science to the physically handicapped in New York City. Now retired, he has published a critique titled Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky and has been a contributor to AEON. His book, The Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion and Cosmology, will be published soon in the United States. Gunnar Heinsohn is a professor of social sciences at the University of Bremen in ...
