... ) The trend amongst the latest hard-won data from the terrestrial record and from the sky is thus towards an Earth which is regularly connected to an existing Solar System continuum of meteoroids and dust, in which a recent giant comet, the source of the Taurids- in the last stages of its long and fitful evolution- still plays the dominant physical role. The fitful nature of its evolution is the fundamental reason why the terrestrial environment varies. But most of the difficulties of interpretation have arisen because we deal with a comet which was obvious in the past and which is mysteriously less than obvious now. No guarantees are yet possible regarding its behaviour in the future though it is reasonable ...
732. Celestial Records of the Orient by Isaac Vail [Books]
... divine and sacred north upon the mind of the reader, since there is no other thought of such importance to be met with in our efforts to From the foregoing it must now be seen that some uncommon features, as all directing- causes, fixed at one time human thought more upon the northworld than upon any other part of the physical Cosmos, and at present there can be no visible feature that can aid us in solving the mystery; hence we are compelled to assume that old scenes have been supplanted by present ones. There comes down to us, from the earliest human history, the most overwhelming testimony of the primeval sacredness of the northern sky. Even in ...
733. Velikovsky In Collision [Journals] [Kronos]
... * * * I take for granted that the scientists' reaction can only be explained, not excused. Yet the campaign against Macmillan has been defended in print, by Professor John Stewart, Princeton astrophysicist. As publishers of many reputable authors in astronomy, Macmillan, he wrote, should have remembered that "readers unfamiliar with an author in physical science frequently take a respected publisher's imprint as something of a guarantee". I will not say this is false, but it is certainly news to me; it corresponds to nothing in my experience. But even if it is true, the following remark, given the context, is pure humbug: that "this is particularly important ...

735. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... to maintain Mars in its present orbit, I suggest that they must explain the dilemma posed by the Continuously Habitable Zone. Ellenberger states: As T. H. Huxley once remarked to Herbert Spencer, theirs is "a beautiful theory, killed by a nasty, ugly little fact." The penchant for developing beautiful theoretical models of the physical world which ignore critical aspects of reality that are purported to be explained...brings to mind a dictum eloquently phrased by Roger S. Jones in Physics as Metaphor (New York, 1982): "The acid test of any scientific theory is, first and foremost, its agreement with the facts of the physical world. ...
736. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... identified as the celestial north pole. Ev Cochrane in many articles pertaining to ancient Mars lore found that the planet Mars was universally remembered as a warrior, who had come from the north pole of heaven and had been in conjunction with the planet Venus during a period of stability. All of this taken together led to the development of a physical model of a polar configuration' more revolutionary than any other model of myth offered before. It assumed that the earth had once, within the reach of human memory, been aligned and phase-locked with the planets Mars, Venus, Saturn and perhaps Jupiter in that order. All appeared to be located in the stable polar centre of the ...
737. Evidence for the Extreme Youth of Venus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... outward from the Sun; the axial tilts and diurnal spin rates; the magnetic fields; the distribution of angular momentum; and so on. Alfven wrote in 1975: ". .. the Laplacian concept of a homogeneous gaseous disc seems to be the general, although foggy, background for many speculations. The advent of magnetohydrodynamics and cosmic physics about 25 yr ago made this concept obsolete, but this seems not to be fully understood." [30] Nothing has changed since 1975. The sterile nebular hypothesis has been spectacularly unsuccessful in predicting any of the discoveries about the planets or their environment. As data pours in from space probes, astronomers are repeatedly surprised and forced ...
738. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 25-27 It has long been accepted that the atom can be split into a multitude of particles but the electron is still thought of as indivisible. Now a physicist, reviewing the results of an experiment performed over 30 years ago, contends that the electron can be split into electrinos'. Maris is attacking one of the foundation stones of modern physics - if he is right then quantum theory is wrong. Interestingly, in the October 2000 SIS Meeting, Wal Thornhill lectured about the Electric Universe' and described the work of Ralph Sansbury who also believes the electron is composed of sub-units.

739. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... its own satellites; it consists largely of hydrogen in various states, and holds some water [16]. Furthermore, the chemistry of planet Saturn resembles Jupiter, lending support to the theory that these two planets were once one. In Proclus, citing the Parmenides of Plato, occurs a statement that Jupiter separated himself from Saturn; interpreted physically, this suggests a fission."[17] There exists, in fact, much literature on the interaction between Jupiter and Saturn, not only in Greek thought but also in other works of Near and Middle East cosmogony [18]. The high density of the inner planets suggests that they have had different careers than Jupiter and ...
740. The AAAS Is Alerted To Act. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the extent to which a crank forces his theory upon nature, he presented an example. The biological crank has the intrinsically harmless theory, for example, that there are winged elephants. Where? For convenience, let us say that they are in the next room. If we do not see them, then perhaps we have a curious physical fact, that light rays bend around winged elephants, thus making them invisible; or a curious psychological fact that winged elephants are good hypnotists and hypnotically persuade us that they are not there. Thus a reader unfamiliar with Worlds in Collision is prepared to evaluate it. Lafleur explained that "not once in a generation is there an innovation ...
