... Whatever the cause, it must be (have been) external to the affected organism. And surely (? ) the stimulus was a random product of nature, the new species constrained to coherence and functionality by the previously-suggested inheritable controls. Immanuel Velikovsky speculated on radiation showers with stochastic results: . . . if the genes of the germ plasma should be the target of a collision with a cosmic ray or secondary radiation, a mutation of the progeny might ensue; and should many such hits occur, the origin of a new species, most probably incapable of individual or genetic life, but in some cases capable, could be expected. . . In order for a simultaneous ...
402. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... been too far away to be seen, why should one invoke the Bok globule in the first place? It is not required. And, to be sure, the proto-Saturnian system's plasmasphere is very much required in order to account for proto-Saturn's flare-up at the end of the age of "darkness." [34] The physics of the plasma universe, as worked out by Hannes Alfvén, Anthony Peratt, Donald Scott, and Wallace Thornhill, will not allow us to take the proto-Saturnian system's plasmasphere out of the equation. And why should we? Everything in the Universe seems to be encased in a plasmasphere. Why should the proto-Saturnian system have been different? Another problem concerns ...
403. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part III [Journals] [Aeon]
... ; and many other outrageous defor-mities." [50] At the very least, in a psychological sense, there is something odd at work here. And if these artworks portrayed real-ity- that is, actual mutations- it would seem that these people were certainly in a bad way. Since we are becoming aware of the importance of plasma phenomena during the Saturnian Age and the deadly side effects of its accompanying radiation, this entire subject deserves further study. Here is what the Maya Popol Vuh had to say about what could well be the closing act of the Saturnian era: "They [the people] were pounded down to the bones and tendons, smashed and pulverized ...
404. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... turn away from the Sun for the same reason that the smoke from a fire ascends perpendicularly, or in the case of a moving body obliquely, in the atmosphere [3 ]. Thereafter, the case of planets like Earth or Jupiter, which are surrounded by a magnetosphere and move through the magnetic field permeating the solar system and the plasma winds that sweep through it, will come to quantitative analysis, too. With new claimants to participation in the mechanism of the solar system, the problem of its stability is brought into new light. PSYCHOLOGICAL PREMISES Because of his psychoanalytic training and experience Velikovsky was able to realize that men tend to shunt off as fables the accumulated memories ...
405. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... them with an intense heat, would require a mobile ceramics oven and vent. We would argue that the lightning here was not "bolt-thin" and "lightning-quick" but poured upwards over seconds, diffusing through its medium, ferruginously-mortared stone. There would have been an approaching unequally charged great body or gas cloud that had pierced the electrically balanced plasma and drawn away or brushed aside the magnetic space sheath of Earth. The Earth below would have collected on its highest surfaces a charge to meet the incoming charge. This would begin to flow upwards. Heavy leader strokes descending would have collapsed the roofs of houses. A tube of ionized dust would arise and descend, make contact from ...
406. Did Worlds Collide [Journals] [Pensee]
... absolute-potential-energy minimum, we could be confident that all of its critical arguments would be executing orbitally stable motions. This is in fact the case for Pluto when the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are regarded as fixed, as shown (34) by Dr. William A. Newcomb, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's noted authority on thermonuclear plasma stability theory, who evidently also has inherited some of his great-uncle Simon Newcomb's talent for celestial mechanics. However, as shown by Ovenden (11, 12, 39), the solar system is quite close to such a minimum only if we postulate a now-missing planet of 90 Earth masses, which he calls Aztex, located in the ...
... tail would be strong. According to an article in Sky and Telescope, Vol. 67, (1984), p. 415, titled "Comet Austin's Puzzling Tail" we learn that the "observations were made at a wavelength of 20 centimeters (1 ,465 megahertz) with the Very Large Array in New Mexico. When Austin's plasma tail came within some 220,000 kilometers of the line of sight to [radio star] 1242+ 41 there was a pronounced change in the position of the radio source." To do this the magnetic fields in the comets tail had to be hundreds or thousands of times greater than the present concept of cometary magnetic fields. ...

... .3 Gauss, in 700 B.C ., then, was 1.2 Gauss (. 3 x 2 x 2). Moreover, our field strength in 4700 A.D . will be .075 Gauss, providing there are no further planet wars. The Earth's geomagnetic field is its "umbrella," a protective plasma against the Sun's alpha particles. (Some of the Earth's geomagnetic field- we estimate .01 Gauss- obtains from ongoing lunar and solar tides.) Geographically, we are certain that during close Mars flybys of the October case, in nearby space the Earth's Magnetic North Pole united, or coupled, with the Martian South Pole. ...
409. The Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... young planet, had been amply confirmed. The planet's magnetosphere also indicated a comet tail. Juergens' consideration of the surface of the Moon and Mars indicated that the Moon bore electrical scars. A recent outburst of Halley's comet at the time of a solar flare similarly indicated the electrical nature of the universe. The planets lie within the Sun's plasma sheath but Venus would appear to be still charged with respect to the Solar System, as evidenced by the phenomenal rate of lightning discharges. Sinuous rills on the Moon indicated massive lightning discharges as magnetospheres clashed and similar features were seen on Venus. A 4000km rill cannot be explained as either water or lava flow, round domes look more ...
