... From: Aeon V:4 (July 1999) Home | Issue Contents Back to Instantaneous Polar Shifts David Salkeld, from Corsham, Wiltshire, England, writes: Flavio Barbiero's paper on pole shifts [1 ] claims to show that instantaneous shifts of Earth's poles could be caused by objects as small as asteroids of half kilometer diameter impacting on its surface. I find the arguments presented there unpersuasive. Most of the text relates to evidence that Earth's poles have changed their positions, the possibility that Earth's crust might move around the mantle and core, the existence of large asteroids (the "Apollo" objects), and phenomena which might be observed if a sudden pole shift ...
142. The Misread Record by Isaac Vail [Books]
... centrifugal motion of the rotating earth, with its resisting atmosphere, would resist the downward movement of such vapors, which would seek to fall toward the point or points of least resistance. Every one will concede that the poles of the planet are such points. Hence it must be admitted that ring vapors must float from the equatorial to the polar heavens and owing to the excessive slowness of the fall of all revolving matter, a canopy must become a cloud satellite to its primary world, and it Is my care to prove that the infant race of men saw such a canopy of watery vapors move from the equator to the poles, while it revolved about the earth, and ...
143. Indra: A Case Study in Comparative Mythology [Journals] [Aeon]
... addition to forming the support of heaven, Meru is said to have formed the celestial axis, above which stood the Pole Star. (83) Elsewhere, however, Meru was specifically invoked as the support of the sun. (84) This latter stipulation presents a problem, inasmuch as the current sun bears little relation to the north polar axis. And yet the Hindu sources are quite emphatic about this point: indeed it was said that the sun both rose and set upon Meru. (85) Other prominent images associated with the World Pillar include the World Tree or Celestial Spring. Eliade offered the following summary of this symbolism: "The symbolism of the World Tree ...
144. Velikovsky like theory of gravity and magnetism [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... 3.16, 4.31, .001) for the 9 planets respectively from the sun. The value b was chosen to make the earth's predicted magnetic field agree with its actual field. but other values for other planets reflecting differences in the distribution of density, differently rotating parts etc. should produce greater agreement with the observed polar magnetic fields of these planets. The fact that Jupiter's field is opposite to its net surface rotation suggests an oppositely rotating central core.(note the earth's atmosphere rotates in the opposite direction of the more dense interior) (one should also take into account the orbital as well as spin component of the planets' total angular momentum) ...
145. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a formal dinner but the Twilight of the Gods', which should have ended the Conference, was brought forward to the first evening: David Talbott's video Remembering the End of the World shown on a big screen. It was visually impressive, with an excellent sound track but I thought there was too much Talbott and not enough about the Polar Configuration, though some of the well-chosen illustrations and the (generally unsatisfactory) animations gave a good idea of what it was about.

146. Thoth Vol II, No. 11: June 30, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... echoed on every scale, from lightning scars on Earth to arachnoid webs on Venus to the icy patchwork of Europa. The phenomena found in plasma labs provide a visual connection between comet tails, coronal mass ejections, machined craters, planetary nebulae, and galactic jets. In the behavior of the comet Shoemaker-Levi-9 you can see a mini-version of the polar configuration and its break-up. The math is in progress. If history can be used to predict the future, I expect that the math will confirm some aspects of this interpretation, contradict some, and provide a foundation, an easel, for the creativity of future artists. As an added bonus, the tremendous scale of this model ...

... than that, when sailing in his ship, or boat, Ra is said to move down at dawn, and upstream' at night contrary to what we see the Sun doing in our sky. How, then, can mythologists continue to perpetuate the lie that the Egyptian Ra was a personification of the Sun? CARDONA CONTINUES: THE POLAR STATION But hold on - someone may have already noticed. If, as the model assumes, Saturn appeared motionless in the earth's north celestial sphere, how could it have been seen to rise and set, even if contrary to the way the Sun does? This is a point that troubled me for some time until, with Dave ...

... that planet, and if they are endowed with organs of sight, they see a black sky, not a blue one as we do. The atmosphere of Mars was the object of many investigations which produced conflicting and apparently unsatisfactory results. This gaseous envelope is transparent, permitting clear observation on the contours of the planet. Mars' seasonal polar caps ar e products of distillation; a polar cap disappears when summer arrives in its hemisphere and reappears in winter. It is not known whether these caps are composed of carbon dioxide or of ice, whether they are clouds floating over polar regions or layers of coagulated masses. The general question as to the presence of water vapour in ...
150. Radiocarbon Dating The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The palynologists say, on the basis of the varve pollen stratigraphy chronology, that the mammoths could only have lived in the arctic during the interglacial period of which the last ended 125,000 years ago, or during one of the interstadial periods which ended over 35,000 years ago. However, radiocarbon dating places most mammoths in the polar areas from about 35,000 to around 11,000 years ago. This means that nearly all these radiocarbon dates are not valid based on the varve chronology. Since radiocarbon is accurate back in time to about 45,000 years, none of the mammoths from the last interglacial could leave a radiocarbon date; nearly all the radiocarbon ...
