... clothed in the skins of animals. If this infant race dwelt naked the climate was warm. If afterward it became necessary to be clothed with the skins of animals it certainly had become cold. If . THE VAILAN OR ANNULAR SYSTEM. 23 the cold increased it was probably caused by the fal] of snow in polar regions. The physical condition of the antideluvians and their environment depended on the conditions of the upper vapors. Hence, polar glaciers began to advance in Edenic times. Glaciers advanced slowly, and are still advancing. Eight hundred years ago Greenland was not the frigid land it now is. The Icelanders and the Northmen sailed through northern seas in the interest of ...
... upon analysis of the evidence) are poorly thought out -if thought out at all- and found severely wanting in the balance."19 Santorini- Atlantis Sagan states, I should also point out that a much more plausible explanation exists for most of the events in Exodus that Velikovsky accepts, an explanation that is much more in accord with physics. The Exodus is dated in 1 Kings as occurring 480 years before the initiation of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. With other supporting calculations, the date of the Biblical Exodus is then computed to be about 1447 B.C . (Covey, 1975). Other Biblical scholars disagree, but this date is consistent with ...
833. Saturn's Children [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . The seasons became severe because of the loss of cloud cover and far atmosphere. Ice collected in the polar regions. Earthquakes shook the globe. In the Hebrew story, Adam and Eve, representing all people, were driven from the Garden of Eden by Yahweh, who made them feel intense guilt and shame. They felt their nudity physically, too, and needed warm clothing. Figure 26. Saturn Devouring His Children. Francisco Jose de Goya Not only did a new cold climate come upon Earth. Also, waters of Saturn were blown back along the solar axis, making dense the atmosphere of the thinning magnetic tube. But the great axis of fire, the electrical ...
834. The Mars-Earth Wars Theory: A Critical Analysis [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... to 357.42 days. Patten, like others, claims the year was formerly 360 days, with no instances of shorter years in that era. Would it be presumptuous to suggest that the absence of evidence for years shorter than 360 days means these flybys did not happen? Clearly, Patten has not paid close attention to the basic physics of his model. His model can work only if the flybys between Mars and Earth are gentle enough not to disrupt the resonance. Woolfson's procedure reveals the true intensity of the interactions. The moderating effect of Jupiter and Saturn, which Patten invokes in COT, Ch. III, would be wholly inadequate to mitigate the intensity of a ...
835. Facts and Values: An Interdisciplinary Perspective [Journals] [Kronos]
... facts is not a value in itself and that there are supposedly "value-free facts" and "fact-free values". It is commonly assumed that facts are the data which the scientist observes and discovers in nature in "complete objectivity" and apart from any preference, predilection or presupposition. But, as Bridgman points out, in "pure physics" the problem of the "observer" must eventually deal with the observer as thinking about what he observes.(44) On the other hand, values are often thought of as "purely subjective" preferences without any bases in the natural order of things, as if all of them were but expressions of irrational and unprovable emotional ...
836. Magnetism and Axial Tilts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... by the theory of Solaria Binaria, until the binary system was collapsing, which has been placed in time by the present author and again by Milton and myself at less than 14,000 years ago. There remains a more devastating change, whereby the Earth not only tilts but also emplaces its poles upon a new geographical location. The physical force needed to accomplish such a change is many times greater than that required for the tilt alone, because the rotation of the Earth is both interrupted and altered in orientation. It is known that the Sun changes differentially the rotational speed of its several sections and some sharp movements may occur in connection with solar storms [26]. ...
837. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... , begins. A time begins when humanity will better understand what justice is. A nation which aims to be a nation, will be so. (26) Nevertheless, despite the chiliastic quality of such prose, he was able to recall that the Flood did not change human nature: would the war? Could a conflict in the physical world cause a revolution in the psyche? Later, of course, he thought that the Flood and other cosmic disasters had drastically altered human perceptions of nature, but in 1917 he was content to make only a simple observation: "And if such a gnostic cataclysm would occur, then humanity would be subjected to such a metamorphic influence ...
838. The Scars of Mars - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... ancient in terms of thousands, not millions or billions of years. Further, we suspect that such a location will occur in the general region of 270 deg from the Earth's autumnal equinox. That is the region directly overhead at midnight in mid or late June. (Orbital precession has been taken into account.) An analysis of the physical geography of both hemispheres of Mars has been made. Both hemispheres have exhibited evidence for such a massive fragmentation. The Opposite Hemisphere contained such evidence as: 1. Bulging, with the Tharsis and Elysian Bulges studied. 2. Volcanism, with Olympus Mons being the primary but not the only example. 3. Rifting, with the ...
839. Knowledge and Entropy - an Evolutionary Outlook [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... traditional moral values, as for instance poverty, chastity, non-violence, and charity, have a pronounced anti-entropic character (see Boulding 1964); they can be regarded both in a spiritual light, or in the light of a global evolutionary wisdom. What should distinguish a new morality from the traditional ones, is the open awareness of its physical, environmental, and evolutionary meanings, the most obvious of which is the need for an anti-entropic code keeping the system alive. The cognitive trend which culminated in the twin epistemologies of today's positivism and reductionism, and which provides the motive power of our industrial civilization, has tended to dissolve - or to cloud - all values excepting those ...
... the Planetary Family?" Then on March 4 he gave an address at a joint colloquium of the Carnegie Institute of Technology's department of earth and astronomical sciences and the University of Pittsburgh's department of earth and planetary sciences. (23) After a short period of rest, he returned to the lecture trail in May, speaking to Duke University's physics and political science students on the sixth and seventh and at American University on the tenth. Of more significance was his appearance on March 15 at Brown University. Under the sponsorship of the Brown Daily Herald, he spoke on "Worlds in Collision Revisited: Changing Views of the Universe and of Man's Past," a variation of his ...
