181 pages of results. 41. Problems with Modern Physics [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Problems with Modern Physics John Chappell JOHN CHAPPELL talked about the problems with Special Relativity [see www.howstuffworks.com/relativity.htm] It is a very difficult theory to criticize in the press. The theory itself is based on two postulates. For example, for a ball being thrown in a moving train (1 ) That the laws of physics apply, so the ball moves with the train no matter how much you throw it (2 ) The velocity of light is a constant (regardless of how fast the train is moving). But these two postulates contradict each ...
42. The Neglected Facts of Science by Dewey B. Larson [Journals] [Kronos]
... of this book if it contains a compendium of facts presented by Velikovsky and his supporters that have been neglected by the scientific establishment. It is certainly a book of facts neglected by the establishment, but no book of 131 pages could present that many facts. Instead, it is a book of facts, evident from Larson's theory of the physical universe, that is certainly of interest to interdisciplinarians and may be of great importance to Velikovskians. Velikovsky was raised and educated in Europe, while Larson is pure Americana. He was born on the plains of North Dakota in 1898 and spent his early years in Idaho. After an interruption for World War I in which he served as ...

44. Sagan's first problem: The ejection of Venus by Jupiter (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... Part II Sagan's Problems First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eight Nine Ten Problems Appendices Conclusion PART II THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE Sagan's first problem: The ejection of Venus by Jupiter Ancient observations Sagan states, "Velikovsky's hypothesis begins with an event that has never been observed by astronomers and that is inconsistent with much that we know about planetary and cometary physics, namely the ejection of an object of planetary dimensions from Jupiter." 1 Although modern astronomers have not observed such an event ancient man reports the birth of the planet Venus. Evan Hadingham, in fact, informs us that the ancient Mexicans give the precise number of days in the past when Venus was born. 2 Velikovsky tells ...
45. The Electromagnetic Circularization of Planetary Orbits [Journals] [Kronos]
... form. It is conceivable that transfers of energy between such kinetic and potential forms might explain the orbital incongruities of concern. But, as we will now discuss, it is also conceivable that such "magnetic effects" existed as manifestations of other effects. WHAT ACTUALLY ARE MAGNETIC FORCES? We speak of magnetic fields and magnetic dipole moments as physical realities, which they indeed represent to the engineer designing electromagnetic devices for a technological society. But to the physicist, who is interested in understanding the structure of matter and energy, it is a different story. In an absolute sense, there is no such physical entity as a "magnetic field". Rather, in a strict ...

47. On Schools Of Thought [Journals] [SIS Review]
... length with his suggested electromagnetic explanation (see W in C: "Epilogue"), and has even quantified the field required (see "A Missed Opportunity" in Bookshelf, in this issue - NB The optical effect of a standstill can be achieved by merely tilting the earth's axial). It must, however, be granted that physical scientists would not find these satisfactory: as Dr E. W. MacKie pointed out (New Scientist, 11.1 .73, p. 76): ". .. that electrical forces play an important part in the Solar System . . . seemed at variance with astronomical observation and theory in 1950." - Ed ...
48. Stellar Thermonuclear Energy: A False Trail? [Journals] [Kronos]
... reach of technology. With the process scaled down to manageable size, why shouldn't controlled fusion become a tool of man? The energy released in the conversion of hydrogen - so abundant in the seas of Earth - to helium - a useful and valuable element - could power the electric generators that man never seemed to have enough of. Plasma physics became the promised land where all this would come to pass. In a remarkably short time thousands of young people with advanced degrees in plasma physics and electrical engineering were streaming from campuses of higher learning, primed and eager to get on with the business of harnessing fusion energy. These enthusiasts disappeared into research laboratories and were seldom heard from ...
49. On Cosmic Electricity [Journals] [Pensee]
... why did he include it? Sanford's conclusion as quoted, that "the outward pressure of the charge upon a conductor will have no tendency to pull the conductor apart," is patent nonsense. My metaphrase of Sanford's "derivation" of this conclusion was no joke but designed to exhibit the illogic by transferring it faithfully and fairly to a physical situation much more familiar to our experience. (I thought the device came off quite well!) Answer to point (8 ); here we go again! "But if the sun finds itself, as I [Juergens] suggest, in an environment whose electric potential is strongly negative (below absolute zero of potential), ...
50. The Cause of Gravitation [Books]
... of dynamic electrical repulsion. Gravitation is to be considered here as an electrical phenomenon. Chapter 1 Sir Isaac Newton on Gravitation THE CURRENTLY prevailing theory of "Universal mutual attraction of masses" will be shown to be: refuted by the observable motions of celestial bodies, falling bodies, and other phenomena based on unproven assumptions unsupported by satisfactory repetitive physical proofs The Drag of Gravity theory will be presented and supported by the citation of numerous physical evidences supporting gravitational repulsion, and specific evidences of: the existence of celestial electrical rays the forces of rays the penetrating powers of rays the ability of materials to stop rays Just as our pioneer forefathers had to clear the ground before planting their sustenance ...
