... of the Solar System through the spiral arms of the Milky Way about every 60 Myr. A hesitation to launch themselves fully into catastrophism was revealed by a suggestion that the dinosaurs were already on the way out by the time of the ET impact; but the summing-up is worth quoting: "Extraterrestrial phenomena are the prime candidates for extensive short-term physical and possible biotic effects." It was emphasized that since the advent of life on Earth the chemistry of oceans, atmosphere and surface sediments has been dominated by life processes which not only reflect, but in themselves affect, climate changes. Geologists are obviously still feeling their way into new techniques for the finer measurements of time and events ...
842. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time Part One - Of Apes and Men [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Neanderthal' skull, from La Chapelle aux Saints. The Neanderthals are supposed to have become extinct c.34,000 BC, long after the appearance of Homo sapiens. They had a brain capacity somewhat greater than that of sapiens and some had low foreheads and beetle brows.] Indeed, once one takes proper account of the enormous physical and genetic variability of present Homo sapiens, the evidence of similar variability in the past ceases to have evolutionary implications. Brain capacity in Homo erectus and the Neanderthals, to instance the factor which receives most emphasis, ranged between 800cc and 1700cc. In modern humans it ranges from 800cc to more than 2200cc, and is unrelated to intellectual ...
843. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... of Earth and Mars, during a March flyby. The geometry resembles the two legs of the letter "V ". It is this phenomenon we are about to discuss in greater depth, and are about to explain its process, or mechanism. Scar 11 is a different kind of a scar. The previous ten scars of Mars were physical scars, still evident in our Solar System, many of them on the surface of Mars itself. But man can suffer mental scars as well as physical scars. The Third Orbit of Mars, and its dreadful, destructive skirmishes with the Earth produced gravitational conflicts, with resultant tides in the atmosphere, huge tides in the oceans and ...
844. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... . This pattern of images reinforces the sense of dissolution by perpetual movement between conflicting opposites that is so important a part of the structure.(20) Antony, wavering between solid Rome and fluid, changing Egypt, cannot keep his integrity whole, and so he melts. Antony compares his sense of his own existence- even of his physical existence- to the tenuous stability of clouds drifting into clouds, and finally water mingling with water .. .. In the phrase the rack dislimns' (Arden editor: the drifting clouds efface') similarities of sound suggest that he is undergoing almost a physical distintegration as a result of torture- being torn limb from limb on ...
... the controlling factor. Since the appendix was not provided with Sagan's original paper, reporters had to accept Sagan's opinion that he had supported his statements. Over two years later, the appendix appeared with the revised paper. After reading it, one readily sees why Sagan wanted his appendix removed. Its arguments might sound convincing to someone untrained in physics, but any physicist would easily notice that the appendix does not contain a rational physical analysis. While writing it, Sagan could only have hoped that no one informed about physics would ever read it. First, Sagan attempted to calculate the probability that the events happened. He did not confirm his widely quoted probability of 10 23 to ...
846. Expansion and Contraction [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the period in question." That is, the solution of a smaller Earth would emerge even if time were foreshortened and ocean-floor growth were rapid. "The most direct interpretation of the evidence... seems to be that a large expansion of the earth's interior has taken place in the last 150 million years. The nature of the physical process that could have led to such an expansion is highly conjectured, but such a process cannot be excluded on the basis of present physical knowledge." By what means could the Earth have expanded at the time of or subsequent to the breakup of the original super-continent? Six means can be suggested, none of them excluding all others ...
... . Schaeffer, one of the foremost authorities on archaeology of the Middle East. (Schaeffer held the Chaire d'Archelogies de I'Mie Occidentale at College de France.) One of the subjects was some Ras Shamra (Ugarit) material which Schaeffer had offered to Velikovsky for radiocarbon analysis. Schaeffer sent the sample to the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Physics. Schaeffer said he had been informed after an anomalous date was found, that contamination may have occurred. In reference to the Museum having unpublished radiocarbon dates for the New Kingdom, Schaeffer said that he would publish, whatever the result, since he was "not concerned with opinions and chronological schemes, but only with the advance of ...

... would include quantum events - which are not points on the world line'. "However, this type of response does not adequately meet Mr. Mongold's objections. In his interview in the February 1979 Psychology Today, Karl Pribram elaborated on the relationship between a hologram and reality more meaningfully. ". .. . That is, the physical universe and our brains have in common an order of reality that is similar in organization to holograms.... Don't misunderstand. The world of appearances is certainly a real world. But it is not the only order of reality. Both physics and biology tell us that. We directly perceive only one order. Yet we know ...
849. On testing The Polar configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... the comet-like spiral actually curl out from the band? Eventually, we will have to address these and many other questions. But since all of the immediately useful evidence traces to man's experience of this unique phenomenon, a reasonable approach will focus first on what the ancients saw. The present model should not be viewed as a speculative venture in physics, but as a series of interacting planetary images, implying a particular and unique placement of the planets themselves in ancient times. Though physics is not excluded in this methodology, its contribution becomes relevant only as the images behind the model are fully validated. That our ancestors saw the polar configuration can be proven, I believe, from ...
850. Thoth Vol I, No. 10: April 22, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... electricity as well as on the nature of gases and of the medium pervading space." For the next 50 years, studies of the electrical discharge were pursued with considerable vigor, and the world was led into the age of electronics. After that, however, as Professor Hannes Alfvén reminded us when he accepted the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics (26), "most theoretical physicists looked down on this field, which was complicated and awkward .. . not at all suited for mathematically elegant theories." The theorists, says Alfvén, preferred to approach plasma physics by way of the kinetic theory of gases, which led to "mathematically elegant" theories. In Alfvén's ...
