... the case if Mars had always moved as it does now, in a perfectly regular, distant orbit, is not easy to understand. Babylonian astronomical texts report that the red planet was regarded as the "eclipse-agent" par excellence. Other cultures likewise associate Mars with eclipses. Yet Mars' current orbit never brings it into a position whereby ... it begins to "know everything", it grows less interesting. Stephen Hawking may have discovered the mind of God, but only to find no one cares. Interest shifts to the unexplained and to the unknown. The demand grows for a new paradigm to show the way to new things in new places. It's time for science to ...
332. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the surface to the problems of computations based on celestial mechanics and the alleged difficulty of regularising the orbit of Venus. Roy: I think this is a bit of a red herring. I mentioned that in the last twenty years the atmospheric density at high altitudes has been known to change sometimes by a factor of 5 because of solar activity ... converge and so, at the very best, a finite number of terms could give only an approximation valid at most for a limited interval of time. Then informed interest shifted to the question of the length of time of validity. (Laplace had guessed 107 years, without proof.) In 1902 Moulton published an analysis of these theorems ...
333. Chapter 5 Pottery Dating, Faience, and Tin [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... thus have two types of Syrian' bottle, one of Middle Bronze II date and the other type . . . of Early Bronze Age II, both with a burnished red slip! "As Amiran said, the chronology of this period — an entire millennium — is pegged to a few reliable dates, and these are only relative and ... W .F . Albright, From the Stone Age to Christianity, p. 26) "As a matter of fact," [Albright wrote elsewhere] "Macalister's shift to lower dating for this . . . pottery is easy to explain. At Gezer there is an almost complete lacuna after the tenth century." (W . ...
334. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . No doubt this catastrophe was contemporary with the destruction of Sodom. Where was their original homeland? "These Phoenicians, as they themselves say, anciently dwelt on the Red Sea; and having crossed over from thence, they settled on the sea-coast of Syria...", remarks Herodotus (Book 7, p. 361, ... p.95) - so long as there is an alternative hypothesis which would sustain these parallels even though the XVIIIth Dynasty (in the last analysis) could not be shifted to the 10th and 9th centuries B.C . The only possible alternative is that the Biblical material refers to a much earlier period of time than has hitherto been ...
335. Thoth Vol I, No. 12: April 29, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... were sufficiently intense to cause nucleosynthesis in the form of the conversion of oxygen atoms (from the water) to sulphur. Elemental sulphur takes many colours ranging from yellow through red to black (look at Io's surface) and could account for the reddish colouration of the ejected material. Alternatively, and I think less likely, the coloured material ... to ice movement or any geological process "deep within the planet," as the planetary geologists had claimed. Where melting has occurred and sheets of ice have been randomly shifted about, you can a get a very dramatic picture as to how irregular the spacing is between the broken fragments under such conditions- literally nothing like the thousands of narrow ...
... presents Velikovsky's Principal Hypothesis' and he purports faithfully to tell what it is... Sagan says, at the moment Moses strikes his staff upon the rock, the Red Sea parts... ' Later, after the death of Moses .. .the same comet comes screeching back for another grazing collision with the Earth. At ... age was well underway, with volumes of extraterrestrial data flowing into Earth's computers. Stunning pictures, rock samples, measurements of every kind. The profiles of the planets were shifting with each subsequent revelation, and it was clear that many surprises on balance weighed in Velikovsky's favor. The unexpected, massive clouds of Venus, the planet's strange retrograde ...
337. Isaac Asimov in Absurdity [Books]
... doubled on its track at the great Union Depot and burned half a mile southward in the very teeth of the gale . . . . Strange fantastic fires of blue, red, and green played along the cornices of buildings. '" Hon. William B. Ogden [the Mayor] wrote at the time: " 'The most ... stalagmites would not have broken! Asimov says they are delicate and would break if shaken, but they would not break, according to Gardner, when an earthquake would have shifted the topography. As is shown in Pensée, the areas with the greatest number of limestone caves lie in belts in the United States which experience the greatest number of ...
338. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... under it is essentially unobservable is... just a piece of faithful comfort. We might as well say that the electrons are really pushed about by blue fairies with red noses." (ibid.: 79) Secondly, philosophical logic after Gödel has shown that there is unavoidable uncertainty even in mathematics, where it is possible to ... their times because they best answered the same non-local question in ways which their times preferred? What is the law which underlies this series of phenomena? Notice the immense philosophical shift which my questions entail. The moment we consider human idea systems as a succession of concepts created by us which have been successively replaced by us, we can interrogate ...
339. Another Velikovsky Affray: the Histories [Journals] [SIS Review]
... does not speak their language. He then turned his attention to war; he had triremes built, some on the Mediterranean coast, others on the Arabian gulf (The Red Sea for Indian Ocean trade) where the docks are still to be seen, and made use of his new fleets as occasion arose; and in addition he attacked ... the timespans for each phase are exact and the overall length of time absorbed by the sequence of events is precisely the same. This not a defence of the major chronological shift required here - it is merely an observation about the validity of this small yet important point in Velikovsky's overall scenario. This aspect of Velikovsky's Revised Chronology looks better the ...
340. Review: A Bronze Age Disaster. Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic encounters with comets, by M.G.L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Once lit it did not lie down. When it had wasted town and country in that area, it burnt up almost the whole surface of the island, until its red and savage tongue licked the western ocean; [all the greater towns fell to the enemy's battering rams; all their inhabitants, bishops, priests and people, were ... . This was taken care of only recently [3 ], when application of a new calibration curve meant that the radiocarbon dates which peg Kuniholm's floating dendro sequence could be shifted down by some 39 years. Previously Kuniholm's sequence was only fixed to within 37 years by radiocarbon but in 1996 he pegged it to within 1 year - not by ...
