... are now pouring in, is the extent to which the filamentary structure of everything we see is carried on down to the limit of resolution. It occurs to me that the plasmoid that entwines the sun like a twisted rope must operate very closely to the photosphere to build those beautiful coronal loops and arches. That notion might account for the polarities of leading and trailing spots and the different polarities in opposite hemispheres if the extent of the plasmoid is such that it covers the lower latitudes of the Sun continuously. If its size changes during the solar cycle, it could account for the latitudinal drift of sunspots over the cycle. There is a very good picture in Kenneth Lang's book ...
312. Peruvian Heart [Journals] [Aeon]
... however, was sent in mid-1993 to medical technologist George R. Talbott, a research associate of the Museum, for his specialized analysis. He didn't know it at the time, but there were uncharacterized dark specks in the gypsum. Talbott has a Zeiss universal light microscope at his disposal, supporting the brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast and polarization applications, with trinocular optics for preparing photographs of any specimen of particular interest, and making his expertise invaluable for such an investigation. This level of sophistication in microscopy was desirable since, if the unidentified darker material was organic in origin, any mummified fragments would not be amenable to the usual histological techniques of fixing, blocking, sectioning ...
313. The Signature of Catastrophe (Reinterpreting the Geological Record) [Journals] [Aeon]
... exhumation would be almost concurrent with deposition and reburial. The natural electrical activity associated with atmospherics, volcanism, and earthquakes is phenomenal. Its effects on the genetic structures of plants and animals are unpredictable. Subterranean heat raises the temperatures of the oceans in the equatorial and temperate regions. Evaporation is rapid. This in turn draws heat from the polar regions. The evaporated water condenses and precipitates at the poles in the form of snow and ice. (Global warming, not cooling, is necessary for polar ice formation.) Areas of polar ice grow rapidly. The consequences of an axial tilt of the earth could be much more severe than what we have described, since they ...
314. Ralph Sansbury's Work [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . A rotating charged body has a proportion of its moment of inertia attributable to the charge. Change the charge and you change the moment of inertia. The body speeds up or slows down accordingly. I, and others, have argued that mechanism (2 ) applies to the Earth and explains (1 ) best. If Sansbury's electrostatic polarization model of gravity is correct, a change in the electrostatic charge on the Earth's surface will affect the Earth's gravity directly and should show a sudden change followed by an asymptotic return to its former value as the charge leaks away. It may be that the change in G is down in the noise of the experimental determinations. Certainly, ...
315. Saturn's Revolving Crescent [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... of these moons. Neptune has a net heat flow from the planet, Uranus has none that has been detected. Once again, this may denote a difference in electrical characteristics, maybe due to recent disturbance. Neptune has a wide equatorial zone that rotates more slowly (18 hours) than the magnetic field (16 hours), while polar regions rotate more rapidly than the magnetic field. The differential rotation is more pronounced than any other body in the solar system. Near the GDS, the winds are blowing retrogradely at 1500 miles per hour, the strongest measured anywhere in the solar system. It is noteworthy that all planets from Venus to Neptune have roughly similar cloud-top wind ...
316. The Extinction of the Mammoth by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... radical chronological down-datings of civilisations only serves to reinforce this recent date for catastrophic axial shift. Ginenthal considers the various theories for the causation of ice ages' and successfully argues against them, concluding that the evidence, when considered as a whole, points to a reaffirmation of Velikovsky's claims that a catastrophe about 8,500 years ago shifted Earth's polar axis perpendicularly to its orbital plane, ending the ice age and issuing in a Golden Age as described in human myth. Then around 3,500 years ago another cosmic catastrophe again caused pole shift and sudden tectonic motions, carrying the ecosystem of the ice age' creatures into the Arctic and disrupting human civilisations, again as described in ...
317. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... advisedly advanced. The accessory significance of the ever active fashioning generative energy was anciently attendant upon and concordant with the world-axis conception, at times the two run parallel, and again and again they converge and coalesce. And both are embodied in the rank, attributes, and symbols of the supreme Egyptian Ptah to whom I lay claim as a Polar deity. Petrie (p .106) said that this phallic theory "is happily so absurd and so utterly unsupported that I gladly pass it by without further notice." But this obiter dictum did not dispose of the question. Since Petrie's time, the third Lord Dunraven has, following up a sort of theory of Viollet-le-Duc's about ...
318. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... commemorating the first appearance of the sun: "Like a man was the sun when it showed itselfIt showed itself when it was born and remained fixed in the sky like a mirror. Certainly it was not the same sun which we see, it is said in their old tales." (84) Saturn, Venus, and the Polar Configuration In the past several decades the surprising prominence of the planet Saturn within the sacred traditions of ancient peoples has drawn the attention of numerous scholars. De Santillana and von Dechend, for example, in Hamlet's Mill, discovered Saturn lurking behind myths of the Golden Age, the Flood, and the cataclysmic fall of Phaethon. The two ...
319. The Water Clock, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... latitude: the farther from the equator, the greater is the difference between the day and the night on the day of the solstice. This difference also depends on the inclination of the equator to the pl ane of the orbit or ecliptic which is at present 23 ½ . Should this inclination change, or in other words, should the polar axis change its astronomical position (direction), or should the polar axis change its geographical position with each pole shifting to another point, the length of the day and night (on any day except the equinoxes) would change, too. The water clock of Amenhotep III presented its investigator with a very strange time scale.1 ...
320. The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Dr. Thomas Burnet [Books]
... consideration, as having something particular and different from the left of the Planets; Saturn is remarkable for his Hoop or ring, which seems to it stand off, or higher than his body, and would strongly induce one the believe, that the exterior Earth of that Planet, at its dissolution did not all fall in, but the polar parts sinking into the Abyss, the middle nor equinodial parts still subsisted, and bore them selves up in the nature of an arch about the Planet, or of a bridge as it were, built over the sea of Saturn. And as some have observed concerning the figure of Jupiter, that it is not wholly spherical, but ...
