... Martian atmosphere for which there is no explanation as yet. Jupiter and offspring New Scientist 6.6 .98, p. 24, 19.9 .98, p. 10, The New York Times 16.7 .98 The three faint rings round Jupiter are now thought to consist of dust from its moons, which slowly spirals down into the gas giant's atmosphere. Domes on the icy surface of Europa are thought to form where warmer ice rises from a deep liquid ocean below and Callisto may also have an underground ocean, as indicated by an induced electric field from Jupiter itself which could only form in a conducting layer such as seawater. Pictures of Ganymede show ...
292. A Record of Success [Journals] [Pensee]
... solar system." Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, reviewing Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision (1950). "Ten years ago in our hypotheses of cosmic evolution we were thinking in terms of gravitation and light pressure .. . Tomorrow we may contemplate a galaxy that is essentially a gravitating, turbulent electromagnet." Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, "Why Do Galaxies Have a Spiral Form," Scientific American, 89 (September, 1953). VENUS Venus originated in a violent disruption of Jupiter. (Worlds in Collision, "Pallas Athene," 169-172) For references see C.J . Ransom, "How Stable is the Solar System?" in this issue. (Velikovsky referred to the legendary ...
293. Comalcalco: A Case for Early Pre-Columbian Contact and Influence? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as are the very narrow slots next to some of the windows, the purpose of which is highly debatable. In fact, it is difficult to cite other examples. Also, reference has been made to erratic' or unusual' mounds found at Comalcalco. It has been said that these may demonstrate the concepts of the oval, the spiral, a folded fan (each fold being different at its angles) and a pie-like' structure with channels cut into it [10]. Andrews himself noted two unusual' mounds lying north of the North Plaza: Whilst we could not positively ascertain that some of their more complicated features were not due to mere vagaries of slump and ...
... Devil Worship and the imagery which gave the world myths of dragons and serpents breathing fire. These alarming movements are actually caused by the solar perturbation upon the preponderating gases which as the result of it are attracted or repelled. Hydrogen, for instance, is known to project in a straight line away from the sun; hydrocarbons assume curves and spiral form; iron vapour produces a pronounced curve near the coma or nucleus, like a dragon arching its back. In some comets the tails are limited and a nebula surrounds the nucleus. Sometimes again it adopts a fan-like form like the tail of a hawk or eagle, whence was probably devised the beautiful Winged Globe symbol of the Egyptians ...
295. The Past Comes Down [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (73); bronze statuettes a cire perdue are characteristic of Middle Minoan as well as of the Sardinian and Etruscan civilisations, in spite of their being allegedly separated in time by Dark Centuries' without any traces of culture (78). On Malta all comparisons (types of masonry, cultic remains, corbelled vaults, subterranean tombs, spiral ornaments, etc.) are inevitably leading to the conclusion that Malta, Minoan Crete and the Etruscan civilisation are more or less close together (81). This is corroborated by the navetas of Minorca, which up to now had to be dated 2,000 years earlier to the 3rd millennium BC (84). The Maltese ...
296. The End of a World (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... critical distance'. The disruptive powers of the terrestrial gravitation began to outweigh the cohesive powers of the Satellite, and it began to disintegrate. At first the satellitic material-ice, rock, and ore blocks-swung round the Earth in a sort of ring. This debris felt the resistance of the interplanetary medium very strongly and approached the Earth rapidly on spiral paths. Hidden in the caves of the safe eastern side of the highest ridges of the Andes the refugees watched, fear-stricken, the breakdown of the Satellite, with its wind storms, rain deluges, hail catastrophes, mud falls, core-block bombardment, earthquake throes, and volcanic paroxysms. This was the beginning of the great Age of ...
297. Archetypes Showing The Presence of Anomalous Electromagnetic Activity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dancing entities). Moreover, the complement of the vajra is the conch or seashell, an object of significance because of the resemblance of its interior configuration to the lines and shape of a magnetic field [26]. In the Hindu concept of the World Mountain or Axis, there is the belief that, around the latter two, spiral lines coil in opposite directions [27]. However this shape is most prominent in the ancient concepts of the double axe, a horizontal manifestation of facing triangles, and its relation to the thunder god and his powers. The mythologist Jean Chevalier writes [28]: all cultures associate the ax with thunder. The Maya, the ...
298. The Ark Myth [Books]
... , had reasoned it out within himself that a water catastrophe was about to occur. At last something happened in the heavens which told the hero that the time of the end was at hand: the satellite began to disintegrate. After a certain, not very long, time the wreckage from the satellite's shore-less frozen ocean, the glaciosphere, spiralling earthward, penetrated into the terrestrial atmosphere and descended in terrible showers of rain and of hail; and presently, when the blocks containing the deposits of ooze, silt, and mud from the bottom of the glaciosphere arrived, there happened also falls of muddy rain, or, in more mythological parlance, of blood', because of ...

... of greaves . . . . It is contended by Reichel (2 ) that metal greaves are unknown in Homer. He is satisfied that they were the invention of a later age (about 700 B.C .) ." Bronze fibulae, too, were found in the Enkomi tombs, as well as a large tripod "with spiral patterns resembling one in Athens, which is assigned to the Dipylon period," and a pair of scales of a balance like the one figured on the Arkesilaos vase. But such finds are separated by a wide span of time from the fourteenth century. The silver vases of the Enkomi tombs "are obviously Mycenaean in shape." ...
300. The Devil's Advocate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... provide is simply unbelievable within the narrow time span that you have set for yourself. You say that the "straw that broke the camel's back" came about 14,000 years ago and the electrical current pulsing between Sun and Super-Uranus diminished so much that the latter big body began to fission and the small planets and magnetic tube began to spiral in towards the central axis or arc of fire. Why should it happen so fast considering that it was running for- what?- a billion or 5 billion years before? As for Juergens' theory that the Sun is a dispatcher of charge obtained from galactic sources, you must know that he and you are about the only ...
