... Linden, 1978). Rivers in such countries have regimes and loads quite different from those draining tundra, desert, or lowlying equatorial rainforests which are largely ignored in many rate calculations. The Cratonic Regime Uncoriformities - breaks in sedimentation with the intervention of erosion represent gaps in the record of geologic time, and are thus evidence of changes in physical conditions that may have involved climatic changes, eustatic oscillations, or crustal disturbances. Some unconformities represent a relatively large period of missing' geologic time and may span great expanses of territory, a million square kilometres or more (Geikie, 1905; Harbaugh, 1969), especially on stable platforms. On the West Australian shield (Yilgarn ...
712. "Heaven and Earth": Catastrophism in Hamlet [Journals] [Kronos]
... Collective Memory and the Springs of Art. It is KRONOS' desire to distribute the book domestically in the United States. (See Notices in this issue for further information.) Copyright (C ) 1978 by Irving Wolfe Part I Hamlet is a play that has been approached from so many angles that, if one wished to construct a physical model to represent this phenomenon, it would look like an overcrowded pincushion. So many people have had their say on the issue of this drama's meaning, nature, structure, and components that the result is bewildering to the nonspecialist and a jangle of "schools" to the specialist. Nevertheless, I wish to add one more analysis ...
... terrestrial gravitation into a distinct ovoid; and, thirdly, because the satellite was not now firmly cohesive-even at its core-as the Earth's pull had already riven and split it very considerably. We are not here concerned with the exact distance at which the satellite began to disintegrate, but only with the fact that it had to do so, from physical necessity. Diagram 21 will help to explain how the satellite began to break up. 182 Diagram 21. - The Reason of the Disintegration of the Satellite 1, represents the satellite (drawn quite disproportionately); z, the zenithal point, the point nearest to the Earth; c, the centre of the satellite; and n ...
714. Velikovsky and His Heroes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , those Bronze Age "Nazis" against whom even Moses had failed, and it was Saul who was cursed by Samuel, representing organized religion, a force which Velikovsky opposed in the form of the bondage of the temple ritual, and in the person of Ezra. Saul, like Ahab after him, stood for Jewish nationalism, the physical defense of the physical Jewish people, which was a very primary concern for Velikovsky in the decade of the 1940s, when Ages in Chaos was first conceived and later written. But in contrast, Nebuchadrezzar is Velikovsky's demon figure. Just as the Amalekites dominate the beginnings of the Hebrew Commonwealth in Ages in Chaos, so Nebuchadrezzar dominates the ...
715. Venus -- A Youthful Planet [Journals] [Kronos]
... suggested a swiftly rotating planet with the shadowed side having no time to cool off during a very short night; but the spectroscopy detected no Doppler effect. The contradicting data gave birth to diverging estimates of the rotational period of the planet. In Worlds in Collision I wrote: "In reality there is no conflict between the two methods of physical observation. The night side of Venus radiates heat because Venus is hot. The reflecting, absorbing, insulating, and conducting properties of the cloud layer of Venus modify the heating effect of the sun upon the body of the planet; but at the bottom of the problem lies this fact: Venus gives off heat." After reiterating ...
716. Response to Critique by Leroy Ellenberger [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... to express appreciation to my support group. My expertise is primarily in geography, and secondarily in history and astronomy. However, even in the realm of the planets and in history I think like a geographer, with a mind-set to analyze location, not dynamics, equations, mathematics, or motion. My support group includes Alfred Braithwaite (physics and mathematics), Ronald Hatch (physics and orbital mechanics), Jerry Redfern (science consultant), Loren Steinhauer (physics and mathematics), and Samuel Windsor (mathematics and engineering). Without the assistance of these people both my model of planetary catastrophism and this defense would not be possible. Thirdly, I wish to express ...
717. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and bottom of the chart do not necessarily indicate beginnings or ends of archaeological periods). Happily, the validity of my event model is not strongly dependent on the relative correctness of the conflicting viewpoints. Most of the dating disagreements revolve about differences of a couple of hundred years or less; this can be accommodated within the allowable dispersion of physical and cultural phenomena resulting from the primary event. This is a great source of comfort to me since it means that I will not have to take sides on issues which have not been resolvable by individuals far more knowledgeable than myself. I also realize full well that the strength of the event model depends not only on the supporting material ...

... , p. 76 and New Scientist 20.8 .94, p. 76 The nature of gravity and inertia still remains a fundamental problem for physicists. A recent attempt to solve the problem explains gravity as a long-range effect of zero-point electromagnetic fluctuations'. Another physicist declares that photons do not exist and some of the problems with quantum physics would disappear with his theory that the entire Universe is filled with an electromagnetic field.

719. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to delusion or lying.6 We all have an implicit notion of what it is to have evidence in experience for or against a belief; if we did not, we would hardly be capable of surviving in the world. The relation of evidence to acceptable theory in science does not appear to be essentially different. The arcana of contemporary physics are notoriously hard to understand; but any fool can grasp that, given you would expect to find a certain sort of streak on a photographic plate if a certain sort of fundamental particle exists, and you would not expect to do so otherwise, and you find the streak; this is quite good evidence for the existence of the ...
720. Thoth Vol II, No. 2: January 31 , 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... I have a couple of comments and questions intended primarily for Wal: I finally got a break in my work load and read Lerner's __ The Big Bang Never Happened_. (I've put it off for several years because of the impression I got that it was largely a "fundamentalist atheist" tract.) The info on plasma physics was exciting, as were his ideas on cosmology and the three modes of evolution. Now I've got to read Prigogine's work on the second law of thermodynamics. (That takes me back to the question no one would discuss with me in college: How can the second law, defined only for closed systems, be assumed to govern ...
