... Frank presented a new study supporting his "small comet" theory that more than 25,000 snow comets weighing 20 to 40 tons each disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere every day. The study, presented at the spring meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in Boston, is based upon data gathered by NASA's Dynamics Explorer 1 and Polar satellites and shows that the number of snow comets observed varies with the seasons. Frank and his UI colleague John B. Sigwarth analyzed 1981 data collected by Dynamics Explorer 1 and compared it to data gathered by Polar in 1997. In both cases, they found a mid-January lull in the data, a seasonal phenomenon that would refute the ...

... and being indicative of variables such as world temperatures and carbon dioxide levels. Further additions to these sedimental\ layers may be material blown from land by storms in sub-tropical regions, and ash or dust from volcanic or extra-terrestrial events. All this can be neatly dated using uniformitarian assumptions. The deep currents which are known to flow from the cold polar regions to the equator have little effect upon this scenario, but now scientists have discovered a new and massive disturbing effect. Where these currents are deflected westwards by the Coriolis force (a factor due to Earth's spin), frequent and massive storms' in the form of deep-sea eddies scour the floors on the western sides of the ocean ...
303. A question for Wal (and Amy and...) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... advance. Wal: The answer to your more specific questions is PROBABLY. Some Martian lavas will show a stronger remanent magnetic field than can be accounted for by Mars' field and oriented at varying angles in different locations. This could throw a significant spanner in the geological works because the same findings on Earth have been interpreted in terms of polar wandering and continental drift. Mars shows no signs of tectonic activity (continental drift). I expect patterns of radioactivity, isotopic anomalies, remanent magnetism and glass surrounding craters and the great "volcanoes" that can be easily explained by their formation in a plasma arc. My suggestion is that laboratory experiments be performed using clays similar in ...
304. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Typical rates of change at present are a few degrees per century but the lava shows changes of 3 degrees per day. Even if considered to be part of a field reversal, the authors admit the rapidity of the change truly strains the imagination'. (The orthodox view is that complete field reversals take thousands of years). Rapid polarity reversals sources: Daily Telegraph 7.8 .89; New Scientist 30.9 .89, p. 32 More evidence from a sediment core collected from the Philippines indicates that the Earth's magnetic field switches polarity much quicker than previously thought. Each reversal may have taken only a few hundred years'. This would rule out some ...
305. The Kintraw Stone Platform [Journals] [Kronos]
... relative to the fixed axis of true north. The stones are then systematically collected and removed to the laboratory where the two most commonly moved axes- the long axis a and the short axis c- are accurately determined. The absolute azimuth and angle of dip of both these axes are then found and these are plotted onto separate equareal (polar equal area) nets- see Fig. 1. The azimuthal direction is measured clockwise around the circumference, the angle of dip decreases outwards radially from center to the circumference. Stones having vertical axes will be at the center of the net, those with horizontal axes will occupy diametrically opposed points on the circumference. The percentage concentration of ...
306. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Sun. The Sumerian Inanna is closely associated with this sun god and his mountain, as indeed also is Nergal, the god of the planet Mars. They all appear to inhabit together the heart of heaven, within its gates', which makes no sense with the present arrangement of the Solar System but is perfectly explicable by the Saturnian Polar Configuration in which Venus and Mars were seen with the Saturnian enclosure atop a world mountain or pillar. Such associations are echoed in the myths of peoples around the world. Venus is also commonly associated with the colour green, the creator of a garden and the fertility which went with plant growth. The many faces of Venus are best ...
307. Mars and the search for Life [Journals] [Kronos]
... challenge it because the attention and memory spans of most people are so pathetically short. Another tendency of NASA and related government-sponsored projects is to drag out a job "forever and a day" to perpetuate themselves in a making-money enterprise. Viking I lander set down on the Chryse plain desert, and Viking 11 alighted at the edge of the polar cap. Why in the world, the average person with average intelligence would ask, didn't they set down in or near the green belts of moderate latitudes?- to which NASA would probably counter, "tongue in cheek", with "Well, we thought it would be too risky to attempt to land a probe in that ...
308. The Problem of the Frozen Mammoths [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Hapgood's explanation of mammoths being frozen when, according to his own scheme, Siberia was in the midst of a hot summer," is, like Farrand's, somewhat contradictory. Despite all this, an unsolved problem still remains. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky postulated that the glacial sheet of the last Ice Age was merely the previous polar cover; that the Ice Age terminated with catastrophic suddenness when the terrestrial pole shifted. This moved North America and Europe out of the old polar regions while it shifted northeastern Siberia into the newly-created (present) Arctic circle. The ice sheet in North America and Europe began to melt while the present cold climate gripped the Siberian continent. ...

... and water clocks from ancient times which do not keep time the way we observe it today.15 The astronomical records of Babylonia, the Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga, which are neither myths nor legends but precise scientific observations, portray a solar system which did not operate the way it does today.16 Furthermore, there exist numerous rocks magnetically polarized to a much greater intensity and in an opposite direction from the way they should be in light of the magnetic field of the Earth as it is today. While it is generally assumed that reversals of the terrestrial magnetic field occured only during geological time, Velikovsky points to magnetic dip studies on pottery which show a reversal in the eighth ...

... sharp, clear, new; the low-lying lands that compose the great flat watery islands and the Arctic Sea (which is mostly continental) signal the former land mass under the ice cap load. Some of it was additionally compressed by the new ice cap formed in the Age of Jovea. The Antarctic Sea was opened up at the south polar forking fracture, and the Antarctic continent, denuded of ice, was pushed southwards to center upon the new south polar axis. It, too, received a new ice cap beginning in the later "Age of Jupiter," but, to follow Hapgood's "Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings," possibly not until exploration, after ...
