251. Forum [Journals] [Pensee]
... electrically for billions of years? About the time I began to wrestle with this problem, or maybe a little earlier, I came upon one of Dr. Bruce's articles in the Journal of the Franklin Institute (which had, ten years ago, an open editorial mind). Before long, I became acquainted with Bruce's theory that the spiral arms of our own and many other galaxies are electric-discharge channels in the galactic atmospheres. I was led to ask: If the atmosphere of a galaxy can be so electrified as to give rise to spiral-arm discharges, might one not suppose that space potentials in the neighborhoods of stars are such that the stars are forced, by their very ...

252. Hannes Alfvén (1908-1995) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... than that required to explain the observations themselves. For example, in the early 1930's, cosmic rays were commonly thought to be gamma rays filling the entire universe. However, when they were discovered to be charged particles, Alfvén offered in 1937 the novel suggestion that the galaxy contained a large-scale magnetic field and that the cosmic rays moved in spiral orbits within the galaxy, owing to the forces exerted by the magnetic field. He argued that there could be a magnetic field pervading the entire galaxy if plasma was spread throughout the galaxy. This plasma could carry the electrical currents that would then create the galactic magnetic field. Such a hypothesis, based on a great leap of creative ...

253. Thoth Vol II, No. 18: Nov 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... an asteroid. Because the Earth is a wet planet, the heat generated in an electrical cratering episode tends to create an excavated, explosive crater with shock metamorphosis of the central cone and little melting of the floor. Note that the arc does not impinge on the centre of the crater but rather moves in a circle or tight, expanding spiral about the centre. [Note .. . : since repeating the anode cratering experiments here and videotaping them, I have changed my opinion on the direction of the spiral action of the arc. I now can show that it is from the centre outwards. On reflection, that makes perfect sense]. On the dry Moon this ...

254. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ." Or the circulation of Venus' atmosphere, the top of which revolves retrograded in only 4 days (at a speed of 100 metres a second) as against 243 days for the planet's body: this, said Hunt, had been established by observing the equatorial "Y-feature", which indicates an air-flow where "features tend to spiral down to the poles: the poles clearly play a very important part in the weather systems on Venus" - though just what part was not elucidated. "Perhaps material is spiralling down," suggested Hunt, to reappear on the equator and recirculate. It was evident that this phenomenon offered an unprecedented meteorological novelty. Finally, Hunt ...

... and that of its predecessor. That predecessor must have been a very large and massy body, perhaps only little smaller than our present Moon. It is more than probable that when this body, the Devonian satellite, was getting towards its stationary period the Carboniferous satellite was already a companion of our Earth, indeed, it may already have spiralled rather close to its surface, so that there was only little difference in the time between the breakdown of the Devonian satellite and the becoming stationary of the Carboniferous one. Our planet had two satellites at that time. When in the course of time the giant Devonian satellite approached so near as to become stationary its forward motion relative to ...

256. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , symbolising the cosmic wind, with the Saturnian urbild in the centre. Han dynasty: 206 BC During one of many stupendous catastrophes which beset the Saturnian configuration, Venus was ejected from the common axis of rotation. As seen from terrestrial perspective, it commenced to circle around the centre while trailing an enormous cometary tail in an ever widening spiral behind it. As it widened its orbit, Venus was seen to move outside the Saturnian orb while it continued to circle its parent. According to Talbott, this was the moving image that gave rise to the belief in the serpent's banishment into the void outside. This would accord well with the flinging of Jormungand by Odin/Saturn ...

... gigantic tsunamis- anything that wasn't nailed down- again in a somewhat northeasterly direction in the northern hemisphere. The unconstrained atmospheric wave would take over where the water left off, whisking the land clear of remaining debris- animal, vegetable, and mineral- and carrying them toward a rendezvous at the poles. The winds and waves would pile ever higher as they spiraled toward the poles. The spiraling of oceanic and atmospheric waves toward the polar nexus would pile these breakers ever higher as they approached the poles, to where the atmosphere itself would be forced into the reaches of space. Such an exercise would cause an abyssal cooling of the atmosphere due to both thermal expansion of the airmass and radiation of ...

Everyone is surprised' say the surprised astrophysicists, by the peculiar' and strong' winds on Uranus (over 700 kilometres per hour at 60 S), and the strange' excess dust in the region of the rings which should have spiralled in to the planet in only a few hundred years' due to the huge' hydrogen cloud around the planet. There is Miranda with her most trocious geology [18], probably caused by the satellite breaking up and then re-forming time and time again, avers one of the above everyone - omitting, no doubt due to his ...

259. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... amazing The ancient pyramid builders used a technique known as trepanning' which leaves a central core [in place] which is a very efficient means of making a hole. There was a small piece of granite that Petrie was confounded with - it was one of these cores cast aside by the masons who had done the trepanning'. The spiral of the cut sinks 0.1 " in a circumference of 6". ' Using modern drilling techniques Dunn has discovered that diamond drills, rotating at 900 revolutions per minutes, penetrate at a rate of 1" in 5 minutes which is 0.0002' per revolution. It seems that Egyptians were able to cut granite at a ...

... hand, and called it Booz. 5. Solomon also cast a brazen sea, whose figure was that of a hemisphere. This brazen vessel was called a sea for its largeness, for the laver was ten feet in diameter, and cast of the thickness of a palm. Its middle part rested on a short pillar that had ten spirals round it, and that pillar was ten cubits in diameter. There stood round about it twelve oxen, that looked to the four winds of heaven, three to each wind, having their hinder parts depressed, that so the hemispherical vessel might rest upon them, which itself was also depressed round about inwardly. Now this sea contained ...
