... the ecliptic plane of the planets may be a minor objection to the nebular hypothesis. But this ecliptic or orbital plane of all eight of the planets is probably the strongest point among many favoring galactic capture. Weakness: #4 The Orion Arm of the Milky Way The Orion Arm, which contains the Sun, is the next to outermost spiral arm of the Milky Way. The Sun is one of hundreds of thousands of stars therein. Our Sun has a distinct orbit around the Milky Way, an orbit with a period of 180 million years. (The Milky Way looks like a vortex, which is more like a slow implosion than a sudden explosion.) In the ...
352. The Photosphere: Is It the Top or the Bottom of the Phenomenon We Call the Sun? [Journals] [Kronos]
... gas and prevent its quenching the discharge.) (We have already directed an aside to the subject of red giant stars. At somewhat of an opposite extreme are the blue giants - intensely hot objects considerably larger than our Sun. May we suppose that these blue giants, which tend to be concentrated on the central axes of our galaxy's spiral arm discharges (Bruce, 24), are so oppressed by the electrical demands of such environments that, in spite of their dimensions, they must clothe themselves tightly with extremely hot tufts?) Langmuir also observed that when tufting takes place, although each tuft is intensely luminous due to ionization, outside the regions of intense glow conditions ...
353. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... an official inspecting a liver. The inscription is "pavatarchies", which Mayani translates as "Tarchies has seen". [The Etruscans Begin to Speak, p.25] Hair [comet's tail?] was cut from a victim's head and thrown on the fire. This may symbolise Zeus or Jupiter destroying his enemy by lightning. Spiral decoration may have symbolised the maze, or the orbital circling of an intruder. Wine symbolised the blood spilt in battles in the sky. Columns and trees were worshipped. The Latin for an oak, quercus, shows that it was a ka-container. Khu is the Egyptian spirit soul. Symbolic activity at Knosos included the destruction of dangerous ...
354. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , rising from the sun. Flames of such dimensions are exceedingly rare; it is therefore all the more significant that they rose exactly opposite to each other from the ends of the same diameter. It almost always happens too, in the experiment in which the cathode-globe is magnetised, that there are two or three luminous branches turning in a spiral about the eruptive spot and near the surface of the globe. These vortices move in the opposite direction to that of the hands of a watch on the hemisphere containing the magnetic north pole, and in the same direction on the opposite hemisphere. This corresponds exactly with the results recently obtained by HALE, ELLERMAN, and Fox relative to ...
355. The Road to Saturn (Excerpts from an Autobiographical Essay) [Journals] [Aeon]
... would also have been the dark abysmal deep out of which creation was said to have progressed, the very chaos out of which Saturn was to organize his heavenly realm. The flare-up, when it finally occurred, would then have blown this placental cloud into the far reaches of space to be replaced, but only temporarily, by the new spiralling matter that Saturn was seen to spew from its still rotating orb. The next step was to hunt throughout ancient literature all over again-and oh, how many more times did I make this trip! -looking for records that might hint at the one-time existence of this placental whirlpool. Unfortunately, what I discovered was not explicit enough and ...
356. The Hunting Or Blitzkrieg Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... continental overkill seems least equivocal, direct signs of human attacks have been found at five sites. However, while some of these signs... do give pretty convincing evidence of human involvement, other alleged evidence now seems somewhat shaky. For example, crushed mammoth bones, from young animals, have been found, with peculiar scarring and spiral fractures, for all the world suggesting butchery, with a bias toward the most amenable prey [the young]. But archeologist Gary Haynes has studied piles of elephant bones in Zimbabwe that resulted from deaths caused by drought in the early 1980's. At that time, the animals gathered around the dwindling water holes, and as their desperation ...
357. The Wayward Sun [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ones"). They are famed for their cliff dwellings, their circular architecture, and other artistic achievements. Chaco Mesa in New Mexico is the site of one of the most remarkable solar megaliths in the world. Three slabs of stone, each weighing two tons, have been arranged so that the light of the sun falls on a spiral petroglyph marking the summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes. Discovered in 1977 by artist and amateur archaeo-astronomer Anna Sofaer," this solar calendar has been called a "sun dagger" because of the pattern the sunlight makes on the rock carvings during the summer solstice. Sofaer called the marking a "sun dagger" but ...
358. Plato And The Catastrophist Tradition [Journals] [Kronos]
... And because of the motion of the Same, the stars which revolved most quickly appeared to be overtaken by those which moved most slowly, although in truth they overtook them; for, because of their simultaneous progress in two opposite directions, the motion of the Same, which is the swiftest of all motions, twisted all their circles into spirals and thus caused the body which moves away from it most slowly to appear the nearest." That "all" here includes the all-encompassing sphere of fixed stars is emphasized by the discussion in the next sentence of "a clear measure of the relative speeds, slow and quick, with which they travelled round their eight orbits," ...

... understandable physics. For the nonspecialists, four-dimensional relativity theory and the indeterminism of atom structure have always been mystic and difficult to understand. I believe that it is easier to explain the 33 instabilities in plasma physics or the resonance structure of the solar system. The increased emphasis on the new fields means a certain demystification of physics. In the spiral or trochoidal motion which science makes during the centuries, its guiding center has returned to these regions from where it started. It was the wonders of the night sky, observed by Indians, Sumerians, or Egyptians, that started science several thousand years ago. It was the question why the wanderers - the planets - moved as they ...
... other monuments of the "Hittite Empire," which in turn were dated to the thirteenth century. Those scholars who reasoned chiefly from artistic evidence generally preferred an early date. Thus Henri Frankfort wrote: "The lions guarding the gate show a number of peculiarities which link them with the art of Boghazkeuy; their manes are rendered by connected spirals .. . the small round marks between their eyes occur in the lions from Boghazkeuy."3 Listing several more "striking" resemblances, Frankfort concluded that the Lion Gate could not have been built later than the early twelfth century. A similar view was expressed by G. Hanfmann, who agreed that the Lion Gate sculptures " ...
