... 5 % of the Earth mass) and probably a little hotter withal, the two planets should have approximately the same internal composition and structure, and if anything the iron core of Venus should be somewhat the larger. The magnetic field of the Earth is subject to periodic reversals, which should apply to Venus as well. Just before the polarity changes sign, the field drops to zero, and it may be that Venus, even if in fast rotation, is close to such a point in its geological history. Figure 2. Radar echo from a limb annulus of Venus obtained at Arecibo Ionospheric Observatory. Doppler shifts in cycles per second. On the other hand, Venus ...
382. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... because at least 70% would have fallen in the oceans and the majority of the remainder would lie buried under younger geological strata. He thought "many features ascribed to volcanic activity may well be of meteoritic origin". Finally Gallant argued that, and showed mathematically how, the sheer size of some such impacts might have effected the Earth's Polar Axis, in "a working hypothesis which can only be the starting point for further investigations" [54] . Dietz soon replied to "compliment Colonel Gallant on his interesting communication" [55] . Dietz thought his central thesis of the possibility of the Earth's Polar Axis having been thus disturbed may well be right. Dietz already ...
383. "Mechanics Bears Witness" [Journals] [Pensee]
... net electric charge on the Sun. Bailey (1960b) inferred that the Sun carries a negative charge of strength -QS = 5 x 1018 coulombs. (1 ) Specifically, he claimed that this quantity of charge accounts for the known orders of magnitude of i) the maximum energy found for primary cosmic ray particles; ii) the Sun's polar magnetic field vector properties; iii) the present state of the Earth's magnetization; iv) the existence and position of the outer Van Allen belt; and v) the approximate equality for the Sun and for Blackett's average of five magnetic stars of the ratio of magnetic moment to total angular momentum. In addition, Bailey claimed, no ...
384. Galactic Domains, G Fluctuations and Geomagnetic Reversals [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... well. This argument can be advanced in the following way. Suppose that G can be linked in a unified field theory to electrodynamic interactions and that the parameter a in the Ginzberg scheme is electrical in character. We may then expect the domain boundary transits to be marked by two phenomena, a transient fluctuation of G and a reversal of polarity 6f spacedependent electrical effects. The latter would be a reversal lasting until the Earth, for example, encountered the next domain boundary in its path, whereas the former would be of a few seconds duration. The new physics providing a domain structure in space would introduce a preferred reference frame, possibly relevant as a base frame for cosmic ...
385. Celestial fireworks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... based on the morphological demands of the model alone. In another essay placed on this website I will offer a number of possible scenarios, without being conclusive, however. What you see in the slideshows: The first slideshow consists of a sequence of 17 snapshots of the celestial configuration. The model demands that this configuration stood in the north polar sky and was witnessed from the Earth. The events thus take place in the centre of heaven'. Every snapshot is presented under two different angles: (1 ) The left half of the screen shows a radial perspective on the configuration, that is, as seen from directly underneath the north pole. This requires that the observer ...
386. The Races Of Homo Sapiens [Journals] [Kronos]
... route followed by the "first Americans". The matter and timing of the "ice age" constitute another question. The absolute time of the crossing is for present purposes of little or no consequence, but a chronological benchmark becomes relevant to the actual means by which this bridge was inundated. Did it really result from an ages long polar melt, or is there perhaps another explanation? 3. Separation Ancient records from around the world attest to the near-total destruction of mankind in the distant past by a world-wide deluge. Preserved in these accounts are memories of a pre-deluge "Golden Age", a time when much of the world was like a garden. Climates, seasons ...
387. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... - 2, V writes: "In Egypt, too, the Great Bear played the part of the Pole Star'(1 ). The Great Bear never set'(2 ). Could it be that the precession of the equinoxes shifted the direction of the axis so that, three or four the thousand years ago, the polar star was among the stars of the Great Bear ?( 3 ) No. If the earth moved all the time as it moves now, four thousand years ago the star nearest the North Pole must have been Alpha Draconis (4 ). The change was sudden; the Great Bear came bowing down' .. . (5 ...
388. The Death of Heracles [Journals] [Aeon]
... belief that the hero ascended to heaven and forthwith joined his fellow Olympians, a picture not unlike Nergal's ascension of the heavenly "stairway" to the assembly of the gods. It is probable that such traditions have a deeper significance than hitherto realized. If we view the career of the warrior-hero from the perspective provided by the thesis of the polar configuration, it can be deduced that the ascension of Nergal/Heracles refers to the movement of the planet Mars away from the Earth towards the assembly of the gods, literally the enclosure associated with Saturn. Such a movement would result in a gradual diminishment in the apparent size of the planet-god, contributing, no doubt, to traditions ...
389. Thoth Vol III, No. 15: Nov 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... so far from anything anticipated under conventional assumptions that they can be regarded as ACID tests. And the most compelling acid tests will be those so specific and unusual that no false theory could consistently pass them. When it comes to word associations, one could spend a lifetime applying various tests to the model. We've discussed the imagery of the polar column and the word associations predicted by that feature of the Saturn model. But there are many others. And why not look for the most extraordinary tests first, those in which the model would predict associations so unique one would not even dream of them in the absence of the hypothesized events? (Again, the force of the ...
390. Thoth Vol II, No. 4: February 28, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... as a blue planet indicates that it had water then. I would expect that time to be when Mars shared an orbit with the Earth about Saturn's equator. (I've given my reasons for this conjecture in an earlier post). Mars lost its atmosphere and water in its later interactions with Venus and the Earth in the formation of the Polar Configuration. It was then reported to have developed its characteristic rusty red appearance. Mars may have been responsible for much of the water that came from the heavens and also the bloody, rusty appearance of the water at times. It was about the time of the breakup of the Polar Config that Mars copped massive interplanetary discharges, causing ...
