... . Some still hold fast to a Darwinian gradualistic model influenced only by slow geological and climatic changes, but there is a growing following for the punctuated equilibrium model of irregular bursts of evolutionary change and, since the work of Alvarez, for allowing an extraterrestrial role in such a model. Flights of fancy are generally restrained within the climatic and physical effects which could reasonably be expected to follow impact with large bodies. It is especially laughable, therefore, to see the reaction of the astronomers and astrophysicists to the suggestion of cyclical extinctions with some extraterrestrial cause. No less than four separate letters containing more or less conflicting theories appear in the one issue of NATURE, for which the ...
... saw the enterprising, but also the unscrupulous, take advantage of the underprivileged, the resourceless, the ignorant, the unprotected- in a word, the unfit. The exploitation manifested itself in work hours from before dawn into the night, in child labor paid pittances, in unhygienic factories and perilous mines. The exploiter cared less for the physical survival of the human animal than for the survival of a field animal: the latter was a property of the owner, but the human animal was easily replaced with no loss to the exploiter. Marx observed and studied industrial relations, and came out against the fit. The British Islands, having lost the American colonies at the end ...
903. The Waters that Never Really Parted [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an approach to Earth of a planetary visitor, proto-Venus or pseudo-Venus, to a proximity of 3.13 Earth diameters. He has tabulated the approach and departure on an hourly basis (" Analysis of Tidal Forces and the Close Approach Trajectories of Celestial Bodies", by George F.Weinert. Unpublished paper distributed in 1980.). Physical evidence is at variance with the closest approach of only 6.26 Earth radii, of the body of 0.8 Earth masses. Let Mv = visitor's mass; Me = Earth's mass; re = Earth radius; Vre = Earth to visitor distance; mTe = lunar tidal potential or lunar tidal pull on Earth; VTe = ...
904. Aristotle And Amnesia. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... he created a system in which interplanetary near-collisions not only did not happen, but could not possibly happen. Aristotle and Aristotelianism came to be the principal theoretical obstacle to catastrophism. No one, in the entire history of recorded thought, did more than Aristotle in an effort to de-legitimise catastrophism. There is evidence of this not only in the physical and cosmological works, but throughout the Aristotelian corpus. Aristotle's Earth is at the center of a spherical universe, and is immovable. Within the terrestrial or sublunar realm there is continuing change (this includes coming-to-be and passing-away, as well as changes in quality, quantity, and place), but all such processes are in the long ...
905. Investigating the Mound-Builders' Astronomy [Journals] [Horus]
... Adena is the Grave Creek Mound located in Moundsville, West Virginia. Relatively well preserved, and with a protecting museum next to it, this earthwork is 70-feet high and 333-feet wide. It required over two million basketloads of dirt to construct by a people who have left no visible evidence that they used wheels. The project obviously required considerable physical labor. When it was first opened in 1838, the Grave Creek Mound yielded two skeletons in royal state within two wooden tomb rooms along the mound's axis. Some other skeletons were also found near the top of the mound, as if buried much later. Initially, the Mound Builders were fancied to be one of the lost tribes ...
906. An Interview for Television with Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Horus]
... Vasily Kornorevsky, and he was very keen on my research, and sometimes also very helpful - like the question of how substances could change in the process of catastrophes - in the clouds of Venus and so on. But I remember him from sitting in the same room - in the same rooms... We would go over for physics or for science, some in other classes, in other places, but always one group - for it was not like here; nobody knows anybody anymore. [Over there] you know also your teacher and your teacher knows you - and so you have to know the years of Russian Kings: you count the day when they ...
907. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... second event. The earlier ice core acidity maximum has now to be ascribed to an earlier eruption of an unknown volcano. It is painfully obvious from this that the ice core data is capable of being misinterpreted all too easily: if this is happening for events only 172 years ago what reliance can be placed on older records? Imagination in Physics sources: New Scientist 25.6 .87, p.34; ibid 2.7 .87, p.26 There are problems for physicists at both ends of the scale. A nearby supernova first observed in February 1987 appears to have a "mysterious stellar object" close to it. This is, as usual, ...
908. Ed Conrad's Web site [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Ed Conrad's Web site www.edconrad.com When pseudoscience meets Honest Science. Scientists fear evidence that man is as old as coal. Physical evidence currently exists that proves man inhabited the earth while coal was being formed, shaking the very foundations of who we really are and how we really got here. An assortment of human bones and soft organs, transformed to rock-like hardness, has been discovered between anthracite veins in Pennsylvania. Since one of the golden rules of geology is that coal was formed during the Carboniferous- a minimum of 280 million years ago- it means that man has ...
909. Cataclysmic Evolution. Ch.15 Cataclysmic Evolution (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... averaging several billions of electron volts and sometimes carrying a potential of a hundred billion electron volts. As comparatively few such rays or charges hit our atmosphere, their general effect is not spectacular. But it is conceivable that, where a cosmic ray or charge hits a gene of germ plasma, a biological mutation takes place, comparable to the physical transmutation of the elements. After all, the genes, like any proteins, are biochemical compounds composed of carbon, nitrogen, and a few other elements. Should a somatic chromosome be hit by a powerful charge, it might at worst cause disorganized growth and be the origin of a neo-plasma; but if the genes of the germ ...
910. Thera and the Exodus: the Cause and the Effect [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the reasons as due to misinterpretation or subsequent erosion, also adding that Santorini may have generated numerous, relatively small tidal waves, rather than a few, but larger ones' because the relation between eruptions and tsunamis is not completely understood'. It has been found that significant vertical movements of the sea bed cause masses of water to be physically impelled radially away from the point of origin of the seismic shock. Movements of this type, due to earthquake, submarine landslide or volcanic activity, occur most frequently in the Pacific Ocean along the coasts of Japan, the Aleutian Islands and South America. Normally, a tsunami in the open ocean has a barely perceptible amplitude and a ...
