... the evolution of life," the four authors- G. C. Reid, I. S. A. Isaksen, T. E. Holzer, and P. J. Crutzen- state their basic position at the outset: "There is mounting evidence that past extinctions of faunal species have occurred in near coincidence with reversals in polarity of the geomagnetic field. Could the link lie in catastrophic depletions of stratospheric ozone caused by solar-proton irradiation over a reduced geomagnetic field?" A detailed discussion then follows, parts of which, as quoted below, should prove to be most instructive. "Uffen has suggested [Nature, 1963] that the surface of the Earth could ...
242. Still Facing Many Problems (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... gravitational. His then forthcoming book with de Grazia, Solaria Binaria (Princeton, 1984), was supposed to explain how it happened. Thus my disappointment when the book finally came out, because there is no explanation, just the bald assertion offered from the "ZAP!" school of electro-astrodynamics: "In a two-planet encounter involving electrical polarization (which induces aspherical shapes onto both bodies) strong tidal forces' act and can alter spins, or flip planets over as Warlow shows" (p . 183). This sentence is presumptuous, since they ignore Slabinski and present no quantitative justification. But, in the wake of Slabinski's critique, it is simply wrong to say ...
243. Pole Shifts And The Arctic Ocean Ice Cover [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... with these studies, although as Budyko points out... most of this increase comes in the winter. Ablation takes place in the summer."98 With this in mind, let us observe the legerdemain Mewhinney employs to play with numbers. Remember, any rise in the temperature of the Earth will be expressed more greatly toward the polar regions. Here Mewhinney states: "As an illustration of hipsithermal warning Ginenthal takes this passage from Borisov: `The vegetative zones advanced toward the pole. On the Eurasian continent this latitudinal shift amounted to 4-5 o in the west and to 1-2 o in the east...99 On another page he [Ginenthal] quotes Orr ...
244. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Many gods translated as Sun gods have characteristics which do not fit our present Sun and seem better explained by another radiant body, which myth consistently points to as being Saturn. The work of Talbott et al has led them to build up a picture of what they think early man saw in the sky, which they have called the Polar Configuration, details of which were described by Allan Beggs in Exploring the Saturn Myth' (C &CW 1994:1 ). Whether their physical and planetary explanation of the configuration is correct or not, its details consistently fit with myth in a way that cometary imagery often does not and it therefore merits serious consideration. In the ...
245. The Greenland Ice Cores (Continued) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Ice Sheet Evidence of Post-Glacial Volcanism and Its Climatic Impact", Nature, 20 November 1980, page 233, identify an acidity peak at 1390 50 B.C . "as being due to the large eruption of Thera (Santorini) in the Aegean Sea". A somewhat more detailed discussion is provided by Hammer, "Acidity of Polar Ice Cores in Relation to Absolute Dating, Past Volcanism, and Radio-Echoes", Journal of Glaciology 25 (1980), pages 369-370, where we are told that: "The Camp Century ice core is the only Greenland core available for a search for fall-out from Thera. Due to the small amount of ice available for these analyses ...
246. Aphrodite Urania [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the planet Venus- its appearance, behavior, and participation in a series of spectacular cataclysms- the possibility presents itself that the various faces of the goddess reflect significant phases or episodes in that planet's history. It is demonstrable, for example, that Venus experienced a series of metamorphoses in appearance during the period of its association with the polar configuration, including several changes in color and shape as well as significant mutations in its orbit, the shape of its atmosphere, and rate of spin. Inasmuch as the respective phases in the evolutionary history of the planet Venus can be delineated and reconstructed, they can be shown to be responsible for the origin and development of specific archetypal ...
247. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Changes in the Times and the Seasons Many agents collaborated to change the climate. Insolation was impaired by heavy clouds of dust, and the radiation of heat from the earth was equally hindered.(1 ) Heat was generated by the earth's contacts with another celestial body; the earth was removed to an orbit farther from the sun; the polar regions were displaced; oceans and seas evaporated and the vapours precipitated as snow on new polar regions and in the higher latitudes in a long Fimbul-winter and formed new ice sheets; the axis on which the earth rotated pointed in a different direction, and the order of the seasons was disturbed. Spring follows winter and fall follows summer because ...
248. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the mechanism underlying explosive eruptions and some of the major differences between explosive and lava flow eruptions. It considers how the close passage of a massive cosmic body, and the near or actual impact of small bodies, might act to produce volcanic eruptions in the form of contemporaneous pyroclastic or lava flows, or leave evidence of volcanic dust on the polar ice caps. How big is a catastrophe'? Our individual world exists as far as we can see, hear, or touch. We know that the world extends beyond these geographical limits; but if our homes are shattered, thrown down, flooded, or damaged beyond immediate repair, we call it a catastrophe' though well ...
249. The Blasted Career of the Mighty Swordsman [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Mars may have been exploded from the Moon and carried off by their father. They were part of a frightful bombardment of debris and ball-lightning which Earth suffered in the days of the Vedas and the Hebrew Prophets [10]. Velikovsky wrote in 1950 that an atmosphere, now residual, existed on Mars and that organic carbons may characterize the polar caps. Soviet sources now report that a considerable proportion of the thin Martian atmosphere is of argon. Recent photographs indicate that the polar caps, which advance and retreat seasonally, are composed of solid carbon dioxide with possibly some ice beneath [11]. In Solaria Binaria, Milton and I speculate that all planets have had experience with ...
250. The Scars Of Mars Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , and several Soviet attempts appeared in the sky. At issue was another proof of evolution- by example on another planet- an what forms such evolution might take. Comic strip writers of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, among others, applied their imaginations. Lowell had thought Mars a rather arid planet, and the canals brought water from polar regions to the tropical latitudes where temperatures were conducive to life forms and agriculture. Mars has a circumference of 13,000 miles and a distance from its North Pole to equator of 3300 miles. Large irrigation systems spanning 1500 or 2000 miles indicated a high level of engineering. They might also suggest some interesting strains or varieties of agricultural ...
