... by Milton Zysman. [130] Unfortunately, this does not match what the mytho-historical record has to offer concerning the column in question. As I pointed out in the paper I read at the Silver Jubilee symposium sponsored by the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies in September of 1999, comparison of available records strongly indicates that the polar column was a physical entity that twisted and churned while sucking up material into its hungry maelstrom. [131] It is these attributes which originally made me latch on to Frederic Jueneman's exposition of this phenomenon as a Rankine vortex complete with bolus flow. However, as I pointed out in the paper cited above, I have also have had to consider Wallace ...
722. A Proper Respect for Authority [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of a banana republic. V. was unhappy with the support he received. It seemed that he would get agreement and aid from exactly those sources that he did not himself respect while being rebuffed by those who should flock to his banner. One had to be an anti-authoritarian to support him, but such were rarely to be found in physics, biology, astronomy and geology. Passive anti-authoritarians, yes, often erupting in personal eccentricity. Anthropology - but he knew little besides Freud's work on anthropology. Psychology- again the psychoanalytic approach, not tight empirical psychology. So he got support from people who usually were just plain folks, intelligent (and therefore I say rare) ...
723. THE ROAD TO SATURN (EXCERPTS FROM AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY) [Journals] [Aeon]
... according to Jueneman, would have orbited as a governor around the central column. My major objection to all this concerned the ancient insistence on the identity of Saturn as the immobile north celestial sun. Nowhere in the intricacies of myth had I discovered any direct evidence that Mars ever occupied this position. XX In my endeavor to discover the possible physics behind Saturn's polar configuration, I approached various members of the KRONOS staff with a related set of problems. Professor Lynn Rose, among others, was very receptive. As I soon learned, he, also, had been privy to Talbott's model since 1972. In the meantime, like Jueneman, he had developed his own scheme. ...

726. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the threshold energies of 6.67 and 7.37 MeV, respectively. In U, TH ores there are reactions with even greater energies, e.g ., fission and spallation reactions. Under such conditions the (neutron, gamma) reactions should be about equally probable with Pb-206 and Pb-207. (See Seagre: Experimental Nuclear Physics [1953], from which Table 2.1 in chapter 2 of Prehistory and Earth Models was taken). Aside from the above theory, the experimental facts show great alterations in U, TH ores as clearly seen by the fact that the alteration zone' in Fig. 2 (p . 44 of Prehistory and Earth Models ...
727. The Electric Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... my opinion, the book is seriously deficient because it relies heavily on the work of one person- the author himself- and one central idea- the thermoelement- and applies it simplistically and unquestioningly to the flawed thermonuclear model of the Sun. The book does not come to grips with the complexities of plasma behavior as outlined in Tony Peratt's Physics of the Plasma Universe, or Ralph Juergens' Pensée and KRONOS articles on the Electric Sun. As a result, many crucially important phenomena, like Birkeland currents, z-pinches, and double-layers, are unrecognized. The book does not, therefore, have the scope of my version of the Electric Universe, which recognizes the work of these ...
728. Life Itself: Accident or Design? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In The Cosmic Blueprint, on the other hand, Paul Davies is solely concerned with such possibilities. Davies is a theoretical physicist, formerly professor at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and now at the University of Adelaide. His main theme is the remarkable self-organizing abilities of far-from-equilibrium systems', which he considers in relation to chemistry, physics and biology. Amongst the topics discussed are the origin and evolution of the universe, as well as of life, and whether quantum theory can be applied to biological systems. Like Origins and Blueprints, The Cosmic Blueprint is aimed at a non-specialist relationship and, if I found it a little harder going, that may simple have been ...

... million lightyears. Maarten Schmidt himself had indicated that: "Only the detection of an irrefutable proper motion of parallax would definitely establish 3C 273 as an object within our Galaxy" [4 ]- the very argument Halton Arp had been espousing when he was dismissed. Moreover, Marcia Bartusiak left out any mention of Alfvén's pioneering work in plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics for which he was anointed with Swedish holy water, to say nothing of their subsequent application to cosmology, but merely stated off-handedly that: "For many years a small but vocal group argued that the quasars were not situated at cosmological distances at all but instead were dense objects set closer in."

730. Sirius and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... no longer defined into non-existence. So far, they have displayed no interest in addressing this matter [10]. There have been two major changes in my reaction to the so-called Saturn Theory'. It is now increasingly clear that P2 = D3 (Kepler's Third Law) is not necessarily applicable to the Saturn Theory' and that any physical refutation of that theory is going to be considerably more difficult than I might have thought 10-15 years ago. The involvement of Driscoll, Grubaugh, Spedicato, Thornhill and perhaps others is making it obvious that the debate about the physical plausibility of the Saturn Theory' is becoming increasingly technical. There is also the fact that the Saturn Theory ...
