631. The Titius-Bode Law and the Evolution of the Solar System [Journals] [Pensee]

... .1 Earth masses, all essentially in the plane of the ecliptic? Napier and Dodd4 looked into this question and, given the energy and angular momentum constraints, decided that the event was almost impossible to reconstruct using gravitational, nuclear, or chemical interactions. So there you have it. The Titius-Bode Law, since its validity as a physical law is by no means proven, cannot give you a definite answer as to implications for possible recent, large-scale evolution of the solar system. But I think you can make the statement that if you argue that the law is indeed a law, and that the solar system obeys this law, then it speaks against recent large-scale evolution ...

... idea of a later disruption of that orbit. Another colloquium at McMaster dealt with the dating methods and catastrophism - a crucial problem since the underlying assumption of the radiocarbon and other radioactivity dating methods is that the decay rates of the elements concerned have always been constant. J. L. Anderson and G. W. Spangler, of the Physics and Astronomy Departments, University of Tennessee, and H. C. Dudley, professor of radiation physics at the University of Illinois, reviewed the possibility that the decay rates are not constant. Some of the physicists present refused to accept this possibility but, if it were true, the occurrence of cataclysms on a global scale could clearly ...

... on "How to Prepare for a Pole Shift", aimed at individuals as well as world governments. The value of this book will depend very much on your point of view. From the world of psychics there will no doubt be satisfaction at the thought that science, albeit unconventional science, confirms their views. From the world of physics there will be very little satisfaction. The first third of the book may be useful as a limited source of reference; the remainder will have zero value. Politicians, of course, will take no notice at all. Who ever heard of a politician thinking a whole twenty years ahead? For myself, I ask readers to note ...

... virtually unusable for any quantitative purpose! On this point I would like to draw attention to the computerised research of B. E. Schaefer (Archaeoastronomy 11; also Sky and Telescope, Sept. 1985) and to the similar efforts of R. D. Purrington (Archaeoastronomy 12). In both cases a reasonably sophisticated model of the physical conditions at heliacal risings has been confronted with systematic observations done by a professional observer. The results that Schaefer and Purrington have obtained, it must be said, are simply disastrous for astronomers who ever discussed heliacal phenomena before them! Whereas the average results obtained from the model and from actual observations support quite well all the basic assumptions, ...
