... notwithstanding the fact that he had just given my inexperienced ears a prime clue- some cryptic thing about oggon pairs. Months later, a turf skirmish developed at Stanford's chemistry department, and Ogg was ordered to take down and remove his equipment and instrumentation, and to desist from pursuing his research project. He was crushed, both academically and psychologically. Several years later, in 1957, John Bar-deen, Leon N. Cooper, and J. Robert Schri-effer of Bell Laboratories proposed their now well-known BCS theory- the name derived from a combination of their initials- a theory which accounted for most of the properties of superconductors, where non-local equations were found to be compatible with London's ...
642. Thoth Vol III, No. 11: Aug 25, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... rings, and even the formation of galaxies can be explained by electrical currents and magnetic fields moving through the tenuous conducting gasses of space. In 1904 he wrote that space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. ' For the first time, he had glimpsed the plasma universe." MEL AGAIN: An epistemological/psychological note here: Notice that Birkeland_measured_ magnetic field strengths, _reasoned_ that they were produced by "vertical currents", then adds the unwarranted "aligned along the magnetic field of the earth." The (unasked) question: Do the currents produce the magnetism, or does the magnetism produce (align) the ...
643. Thoth Vol II, No. 13: Aug 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , Mars as celestial warrior and disturber of the Earth, Saturn as former dominant body in the sky, Jupiter as visible "successor" to Saturn, active role of electromagnetism in an unstable solar system, thunderbolts flying between planets, gravity as an aspect of electricity, catastrophic history of the earth, catastrophe as catalyst in evolution, the psychology of collective amnesia, fundamental challenges to the underpinnings of conventional historical chronologies. People will express opinions on all sides of the different questions raised, but the extremes to which various folks will go to deny "originality" to Velikovsky are a wonder to behold. Of course, it would be absurd to think that, when you break ...
644. The Papyrus Ipuwer, Egyptian Version Of The Plagues - A New Perspective [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... early Egyptian precursor of the Hebrew Book of Proverbs. Yet, even during this golden era of Egyptian unity and power there was an embryonic development of a new, more socially conscious, literature. Breasted noted in The Dawn of Conscience the appearance in the third millennium B.C ., "for the first time historically what the modern psychologists have concluded from their observations of the life of man as it is found in modern times. I am referring to their conclusion that the moral impulses of the life of man have grown up out of the influences that operate in family relationships." The Pyramid Texts, a collection of 4th and 5th Dynasty formulae for furtherance of the ...
645. The Age Of Man In America [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... tribes around the world, are highly cohesive; that is, they tend to stay together for protection, social custom, and familial relationships. Being ostracized from the tribe is one of the great fears of primitive people. So much of their lives is tied up in the folk culture that banishment was akin to the sentence of social and psychological death. Schiller, who supports early American man as a hunter, succinctly describes the situation: ". .. the 12,000-year-old debate of man's arrival in the New World has a dwindling number of supporters. It conflicts with the almost certain 17,600 B.C . median date of human occupancy in the Pennsylvania rockshelter ...
646. Thoth Vol II, No. 12: July 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... a relentless urge to HONOR the archetypes in a time when the events and celestial forms associated with them were no longer present. Of this collective urge, storytelling was only a small part. Of course, in the transmission of the stories over the centuries, there is not just a progressive degradation of the original integrity, but a natural psychological effect of distance and unfamiliarity. The gravity of the experience could only be diminished with time. And the meaning of the story elements would increasingly appear irrational or out of place, finding no explanation in natural experience. That is, of course, the reason why, with the rise of Greek rationalism, the mythical themes of tragedy ...
647. Pandemonium [Books] [de Grazia books]
... pitch, rhythm, timbre and volume. The first instruments specialized in rhythms, for instance, and had variations of pitch, timbre and volume. The pipe or flute specialized in pitching different tones and a whistling timbre. Using such elements in combinations, music could be built up. But it would not have been possible without the basic psychological changes that were taking place in people. Control of themselves and the gods was the paramount motivation behind the people who originated music and all other aspects of culture. The humans had a compulsion to repeat their first experiences, which were naturally terrible; this is explained fully in my work, Homo Schizo I. The repetition of rhythms ...
... route did some of the cave-dwellers reach the Dordogne. Their voyages must have taken these mariners to the shores of Morocco, for here we find many cromlechs. The Moors to this day ascribe them to King Solomon. The French doctor Mauchamp, who lived among the Moors for many years at Marrakesh, and made a deep study of their psychology, says of them, "Solomon is regarded as the father of all magicians, who constructed the temple at Jerusalem by Jinns." They considered cromlechs as the "tombs of the idolaters'.16 Mauchamp's researches made him unpopular with the Moors, whose decadence he revealed, and in 1907 he was murdered. This folk-memory may ...
649. Erratics [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... where glaciers never occurred. (Vol. I, pp. 99-100) heir point is telling, in that establishment geologists say that where erratics exist they were transported by glaciers; but over many non-glaciated areas of the Earth are found innumerable erratics of great weight, and these are simply ignored. Such an approach to this contradiction by the psychological process of evasion is not difficult to understand. How can a glacier carry a boulder to an area which was never glaciated? This, I suggest, is no small problem. No amount of glacial manipulations will ever push an erratic to a place where the glaciers did not exist. The movement of some of these stones a distance ...
650. In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... even with this one event they have yet to clearly identify its effects in terms of material human culture- in other words, to identify it archaeologically. So where is the catastrophe? In my opinion, the Saturnist position is no longer catastrophist but, to borrow an expression from my friend Han Kloosterman, actually crypto-uniformitarian. ' Indeed, psychologically it seems to have fallen into the same trap as the uniformitarian philosophy, with a vision of a safe, unchanging universe. In the Saturnist model the gods' danced about each other in the Polar Configuration, inspiring the world's great myths from a respectable distance." [106] Where has James been reading all this? Personally ...
