... the two bodies. Here we see the electric field lines (arrows) and the lines of equal electric potential (variously dashed) prior to the breakdown that produced electric discharges from the Moon (the cathode) to Mars (the anode). The outer equipotential depicts the sheath boundary between the electrosphere of the charged bodies and the interplanetary plasma.- courtesy of the estate of Ralph Juergens Juergens' analysis might well serve as a launching platform for decades of detailed studies, using a quantavolutionary electric and recent-time model of each planet's topographical peculiarities. As with Moon and Mars, so with Venus and Mars. perhaps, in the end, we shall come to regard a famous ...
382. Velikovsky and Venus: A Preliminary Report on the Pioneer Probes [Journals] [Kronos]
... a debate with Albert W. Burgstahler over the composition of Venus' atmosphere (Pensée IVR VI). Velikovsky's remarks were subsequently reprinted in Velikovsky Reconsidered (1976, pp. 193-209). The recent discoveries made by Pioneer-Venus and Voyager 1 revealed, among other things, the presence of Venusian sulfur in various states and ionized sulfur in a plasma cloud circling Jupiter. These findings have particular relevance to Velikovsky's earlier discourse. ". .. of the presence of sulfur on Venus, in addition to iron and organic material, I [Velikovsky] was conscious some twenty years in advance of the Youngs [ see Astrophysical Journal, 179 (1973); Icarus, 18 (1973 ...
383. Dark Matter [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... and the invisible spheres which moved them. This new, totally unknown matter, was completely different from all forms of matter ever known to mankind, just as is dark matter. Aristotle termed this material "quintessence" because it was so unlike the four forms of matter known on Earth, namely solid, liquid, gas and fire or plasma. Thus, the celestial material was the fifth form of matter- quintessence. Quintessence was unique in that it did not interact with the earthly forms of matter, while dark matter is quite similar in that it is weakly interacting with ordinary matter. In essence, quintessence did everything Aristotle needed it to do and had the properties necessary to ...
384. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... author of the book The Titius-Bode Law of Planetary Distances: Its History and Theory (Oxford, 1972) wrote, in relation to the Velikovsky controversy, that this assumed law does not prove anything for or against a "recent large scale evolution of the solar system". In the same spirit, C. J. Ransom, a plasma physicist, calculated that, if it were true that at one time Venus was not a planet of the solar system, one could still use Bode's Law by changing one figure in the formula Instead of: d = 0.4+ (0 .3 ) 2n one should read d = 0.4+ (0 . ...
385. On Some Problems Of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... These "caps" are readily visible through a blue filter (figure 4), and I have made a series of such observations, described in the Journal,(10) which may well be worth repeating and extending. My results seem to agree fairly well with Kuiper's polar co-ordinates. The question is, does any such belt of plasma really exist? The indications are that it does. The Mariner-10 pictures unmistakably show an equatorial belt which does not participate in the general atmospheric circulation (see figure 5) and has not escaped the notice of the NASA investigators.(1 ) It also appears in the radar views of Venus (figure 6), where the equatorial ...
386. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... his absolute chronology as erroneous or at best dubious. Cf. Gunnar Heinsohn, `Ancient Near-Eastern Chronology Revised, ' The Velikovskian, 1, 1 (1993). 65. See the charming account of Albright in Stargazers. 66. Thus Velikovsky was not allowed to bring with him expert supporters like C. J. Ransom, the plasma physicist, and Lynn Rose, the philosopher of science. Nor was he allowed to see the arguments of his opponents until shortly before he had to reply to them. Rose tried to dissuade Velikovsky from taking on his adversaries in these circumstances; had he refused to compete, of course, this fact could have been used as propaganda ...

388. Buried Forests [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Earth's surface] into the atmosphere will create a fireball whose temperature may briefly approach a million degrees. While this is quite low, compared to that of a nuclear weapon, [or interplanetary cosmic electrical discharge], it is likely that relativistic particles (as well as x-rays and gamma rays) will, nevertheless, be produced within this plasma by ill-understood particle acceleration processes: Brown and Hughes have examined this for the Tunguska event. Rough calculations based on their work show that for every 50 megatons of energy dumped into the lower atmosphere about 6 tons of C14 will be created, corresponding to about a ten percent increase in the proportion of atmospheric C14 and yielding a dating error ...
389. The Organization of the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... every time, the flaming material is recalled by the Sun's massive gravity. What, then, is one to believe about the Sun's comparatively slow centrifugal force? In 1935, H.H . Russell recognized this defect. The Sun's centrifugal force is totally incapable of producing a tail despite the fact that its high temperatures and volatile flows of plasma are capable of creating huge prominences, brief flares. Russell's response to this defect was to suggest an alternative mechanism to centrifugal force. We think Russell should have questioned the entire hypothesis. In automobiles, mechanics fine tune engines that run roughly. Russell attempted to fine tune the nebular hypothesis, but it is not a given that the ...
390. The Electro-gravitic Theory Of Cosmology [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... nature. The ejection of even a minute mass from such a body would cause the minute volume to instantly re-conform its lattice arrangement to preserve its structure. As such a body rotates to instability, it first begins to eject minute particles from its surface. These minute particles are ejected at beyond the speed of light and are instantaneously converted to plasma by the tidal forces emanating from the black hole. It is these particles or larger masses that produce much of the enormous dust clouds which can be observed in quasars. but with expulsion of ever larger and larger masses that are converted to dust and gas, the internal lattice structure of the singularity constantly becomes less and less stable. ...
