... II concerned the postulate that the mytho-historical record places Saturn at the Earth's north pole. Cardona stresses that this information is not taken from a single story, but is expressed in hundreds of different ways in hundreds of different stories told over the world. In part III, Cardona explores the nature of this northern configuration from both a mythical and physical perspective: DWARDU CARDONA: But what of the demands which this postulate raises? Can they, too, be met? The postulate concerning the former polar station of the planet Saturn raises more than one demand, but I will only touch upon one-and it will serve to show that physical requirements, as well as those which the mytho-historical ...
592. Thoth Vol IV, No 10: June 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... values are primarily due to intrinsic (age related) properties of the object. So, the difference between the (large) measured shift and one of his quantum redshift values always turns out to be small enough that we can use the simple v = cz relationship to find the actual velocity. Mel Acheson adds: Mel retrieves his freshman physics text, blows off the dust, and finds feet of clay on the Doppler god: _Physics_ by Resnick & Halliday, 1964 printing, Ch. 40, Sec. 5, p.914, introducing the Doppler effect for light, recaps the situation for sound waves: For an observer fixed in the medium and a ...
593. Cosmic Winter [Articles]
... comets. It was a decision to reconstruct the cosmos without heaven in the solar system and put it in the ether or outside the cosmos altogether of infinity al la Bruno. It was the decision to create a purified, less frightening cosmos in much the same way as Aristotle did after Plato. On both occasions we shifted from astrology to physics, and from a sky of foreboding to a sky of inspiration, from prison and terror to freedom and hope. Indeed, the cry of the revolutionary periods of 1640 to 1680 and 1760 to 1800, the time of the American War of Independence, was the cry of freedom from heavenly oppression, demons, and fireballs. For ...
594. Donnelly (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... work which was thought his most representative or important one at that time. Aristotle grasps his Ethics, and Plato-not the Laws, nor the Republic, but, the Timaeus! It may seem odd that of all the many works of Plato just this one should have been chosen, for at the time of Raphael the principles of cosmology and physics which constitute the subject of Timaeus proper were already largely superseded by new speculations. Yet it will not do to accuse such an artist as Raphael of indiscrimination: and the book may well have been chosen for the other subject which it contains-the myth of Atlantis. The Spanish historian, Francisco Lopez de Gomara, was the first to suggest ...
595. Hoerbiger (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... at the lines of fracture. The greatest change wrought by the new gravitational conditions, however, was the redistribution of the waters of the Earth's oceans. The new satellite's pull drew great quantities of water away from the higher latitudes and piled them up in the lower. In their first onset, the waters surging towards the tropics overleapt all physical obstacles and covered nearly all tropical lands with a tide thousands of feet deep# At that time all mankind was decimated, while in the critical latitudes entire nations, whole races, complete cultures were swept out of existence, and many perhaps out of human memory. For a brief period a universal `girdle-tide' encircled the Earth in ...
596. Prelunar Culture (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... in certain circles to regard life in Atlantis as having been saturated with `mysteries' and magic'. The Atlanteans are said to have been able to peer more deeply into the spiritual sense of creation and to master its material side more evidently. But I think it is safe to assume that, generally speaking, the mental processes and physical reactions of the Atlanteans were in no way essentially different from those of men in our time, nor, indeed, from those of the Tiahuanacans who probably lived more than 2,000 centuries earlier. Life went on in practically the same way as it does to-day. The various techniques, and tools, and gadgets, were probably ...
597. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... seemed to be the end of the line of gods in all religions, the system from which Uranus had originated had to be stable. this stable age before Urania could be called Pangea, meaning that all the land was together then and all the world was land- covered [12]. Then I turned my attention to the possible physics of a stable heaven that could have preceded the sky of today. Finally a model of it seemed possible, which is described in the next chapter. In respect to the lives of the gods, multitudinous findings of very recent physics, nuclear chemistry, geophysics, astrophysics, oceanographic and aerospace exploration have exposed an unstable basis of nature ...
598. Chaos and Creation by Alfred de Grazia [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of scholars, the human mind today is moving into an area "where the action is". For perhaps no more exciting and important a set of problems is to be found anywhere in the realms of science and scholarship. Every discipline is implicated in the theory of ancient catastrophes - psychology, sociology, linguistics, archaeology, biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and geology, together with their many subdivisions down to special and new sciences, such as plasma physics, dendrochronology, and mega-vitamin therapy [1 ]. It has something to say about "the Jupiter Effect," "the Ion Effect," and "the Bermuda Triangle," not to mention " ...
599. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... who had something to say of the period of Exodus, mentioned a great sky-connected disturbance of the world. Among them are such well-known figures as Eusebius, Pliny, Plutarch, Ovid, Seneca, Varro, and Augustine [3 ]. Further, every modern archaeologist and geologist whose investigations can be indisputably fixed in the period have reported serious physical upheavals [4 ]. I use this insistent form to express the generality of agreement; contemporary egotism, we realize, fears and hates to believe that ancient times might have witnessed natural behavior of a scope and intensity not experienced today. In 1602, Abraham Rockenbach, a German Professor at Frankfurt University, published a "Treatise on ...
600. Astronomical Theory and Historical Data [Books] [de Grazia books]
... too (Meteor, 1343A) tries to refute, that a planet may become a comet or a comet may become a planet. On the basis of this view of astronomy Plato states that there are two conceptions of science, one that we may call noumenic and the other that we may call phenomenic. According to the first, the physical order is the manifestation of an ordering mind, a nous; he sums it up in these words (X 903 C): the ruler of the universe has ordered all things with a view to the excellence and preservation of the whole. ' The essential proof of this is the system of heavenly motions. The opposite view, ...
