... publisher of Aeon and is one of the leading Saturnists', who have been working on one Velokovsky's most intriguing unfinished ideas: the possible role of Saturn in the Earth's recent history. (His latest book, Martian Metamorphoses is also reviewed in this issue.) Some of the theories which have been developed, notably the idea of the Polar Configuration', are better known in the USA and Canada than in Europe and elsewhere, so Ev's article provides an introduction for newcomers. Wal Thornhill is writing about a complementary area of interest: the role of electricity in the cosmos. This is tantalising territory: scientists now accept that plasmas and electric and magnetic fields are everywhere around ...
232. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... quartz crystals at some extinction horizons. Now two researchers from Florida have a new volcanic theory which could explain the signs others interpret as due to impacts. They propose that periodic instabilities at the base of the Earth's mantle cause injections of hot magma at the cool base of continents, which would produce the pressures necessary to shock quartz crystals. Polar Region Dinosaurs sources: Discover December 1988, p. 6; New Scientist 8.4 .89, p. 27 New finds of small dinosaurs in Australia indicate that they lived near the South Pole in the early Cretaceous Period. Earlier ideas of warm polar regions in this period have been challenged by the finding of glacially deposited boulders ...
233. Facing Many Problems, Part 2 Epilogue (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , and on the passage of one or two of them in front of the sun, their heads were not perceptible. We claim that the earth's orbit changed more than once and with it the length of the year; that the geographical position of the terrestrial axis and its astronomical direction changed repeatedly, and that at a recent date the polar star was in the conste llation of the Great Bear. The length of the day altered; the polar regions shifted, the polar ice became displaced into moderate latitudes, and other regions moved into the polar circles. We arrived at the conclusion that electrical discharges took place between Venus, Mars, and the earth when, in very ...

235. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... future essays in this symposium, a good deal of evidence points to large scale devastations, some very recent. Also, it is hard to escape the feeling that the spin axis tilt, spin axis tilt orientation and spin rate similarities to those of Earth are too tight to be coincidental. Interestingly, Talbott's mythically-based model of a Saturnian "polar configuration" has Mars rotating on a shared axis with Earth and Saturn, stationed very close to the Earth. While the mechanics of it all may leave astronomers scratching their heads, we should at least grant that the model anticipates or predicts many of the above-noted anomalies. The similarity of some earth shaping processes and the difference in others ...
236. The Theory Of Continental Drift [Books]
... VII | Chap 4: I | II | III | IV | Chap 5: I | II | III | IIII | PART IV : Appendixes I | II | III | IV | Acknowledgements | Notes And References | CHAPTER 4: The problem of the slip of the earth's crust under meteoritic impact The study of the shift of the polar axis of rotation has shown that in fact the impact of huge bodies brings only small angular changes in the position of this axis. Such small changes, although they can perceptibly affect climatic conditions, are adequate to explain the drastic climatic changes observed in geological times. In this chapter, we will show that a slip' of the ...

... is put forward by others in perfect seriousness..." 30 Thus the oil under the basalt rock cover of the North Sea is the coup degrace to any suggestion that oil only originates from Earth. Thus, according to Sagan, "petroleum arises from decaying , vegetation and huge quantities of organic matter. "31 . Mars' polar caps Sagan next turns to Mars and states, "Reading the text is made still more difficult by the apparent conclusion (page 366) of Martian polar caps made of manna, which are described , ambiguously as probably in the nature of carbon. ' Carbohydrates have a strong 3.5 micron infrared absorption feature, due to the ...
238. Night of the Gods: Disputatio Circularis [Books]
... that was compelling the rotation and it will perhaps be conceded as natural that the Director, the Swayer of the Whole should be placed in imagination at its sole and highest point quiescent, its pivot, its the Northern Pole. Anyhow, that was what was done; and one of the main objects of this Inquiry is to identify the Polar Deity with the oldest, the supremest, of the cosmic gods of all early Northern the PoIar God with the Ptah of the Egyptians, the Kronos of the Greeks, the Shang-Ti of the Taoists and the Tai-Ki and Tai-Yi of the philosophic Chinese, with the Amenomi Naka Nushi of archaic Japan. This is attempted in the chapters concerned ...

... would have taken time to metamorphose into each succeeding stereotype, the entire spectacle would have filled ancient man with awe. How do we know that this transpired? We know because the Cro-Magnons left us with specific visual representations of just such a series of events. Artificial columnar plasma in a plasma tube. This gives an indication of what proto-Saturn's polar column, or axis mundi, would have looked like on a cosmic scale, complete with the plasmatic circumstellar disk which ancient man described as a rotating whirlpool or cosmic ocean. The Pictographic Evidence At this point I have to submit certain evidence which, at first glance, will be even more difficult to digest by those who have not ...
240. The Sliding Continents. Ch.8 Poles Displaced (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... forces in the solar system could have displaced the terrestrial axis?" we shall discuss a theory that has for over three decades occupied the minds of geologists, climatologists, and evolutionists-the theory of the shifting continents. Instead of the poles shifting, according to Wegener's theory the continents drift and pass one after the other through the southern and northern polar regions. In August 1950 the British Association for the Advancement of Science devoted the sessions of its annual convention to debate on the question: Is the theory of the continental drift (slide) right or wrong? There were many defenders of the theory and as many opponents. The theory was then put to a vote. The result ...
