... preferred to all others. 70 The Universe is supposedly increasing its entropy with time, that is to say, the parts of the Universe become even more disordered. Living systems represent increased order because of their internal organization. 71 The origin of one-handed symmetry was probably in the magnetic field (see Edwards et al.). Committed to spiralling into right-handed helices, the DNA molecule and all of the molecules with which it transacts profit from the design, for they thus attain denser molecular packing, producing greater electric stability. The tightest-packed helix is the alpha right-handed (screw) helix - here each turn of the coil incorporates 3.6 to 3.7 amino-acid units. ...
372. Still Facing Many Problems (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , regions where the solar wind escapes the Sun because there the magnetic field is open. Unfortunately and unaccountably, Juergens and Milton took no notice of this discovery. Coronal holes are important because the electric star model postulates the Sun, which radiates uniformly, fueled by an essentially uniform influx of energetic electrons from interplanetary space. Because these electrons spiral around magnetic field lines, they can only reach the Sun's surface at the coronal holes because magnetic field lines from the Sun's interior only extend far into interplanetary space (are openended) in the regions called coronal holes. Upon entering the Sun, these electrons would announce their presence by producing x-rays. However, as it turns out, ...
373. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Uranus were detected by Voyager: now they are known to exist throughout the Solar System. He was also able to explain why the Sun rotates rather slowly (it would have to rotate rapidly if gravity alone shaped it). Other experimental and computer simulation work which bears out the Alfven theories are briefly cited. His ideas seem to explain spiral galaxies and the 100 light-year-long filaments at the centre of the Milky Way. The moons of Uranus source: Scientific American April 1988, pp. 48-60 We recommend this detailed article on the results of the Voyager 2 fly-by. The scientists find the now familiar difficulties in explaining most of the observations, such as the dark' material on ...
374. Encounters and Collisions [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Kelly and Dachille for so large a body. (The reader is asked to recall that scientists have only lately granted comets this possibility of large masses and Earth collisions. The recent work by S.V .M . Clube and W.M . Napier, entitled The Cosmic Serpent (1982), essaying a connection between solar-system galactic spiral encounters and recurrent paleontological catastrophes, via cometary and meteoritic crashes, is perhaps the first treatise to be published by professional astronomers. The independently pursued work of the astronomer Earl R. Milton, much of it in press as Solaria Binaria, with the present author, is comparable. Clube and Napier wrote unaware of the astronomical theory of ...
375. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ' This might help Hickey with his Eocene climate puzzle (see Workshop 1989:1 , pp. 27-28). Future Mars Catastrophe sources: The Times 31.7 .89; The Times 27.7 .89 Dr Alexander Zakharov of the Space Research Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences has predicted that the Martian satellite Phobos will spiral down into its primary within the next 10-15 million years. The composition of Phobos appears to be carbonaceous chondrite and very different from that of Mars itself: it is therefore suggested that the history of Phobos is one of ejection from the asteroid belt and capture by Mars. An earlier report quotes Prof David Southwood of Imperial College, London ...

... ? And even if some broke into drops, the total momentum of the stream relative to axes centred in the Earth would be unchanged; so the torque imparted to the Earth would be the same as if the stream had stayed coherent throughout. However, the main thrust of Mr Ellenberger's question is Who aims? ' Consider a watery cloud spiralling towards the Sun, moving in or near the plane of the ecliptic and eventually achieving an elliptical solar orbit. Such a cloud could be considered a hydrous' version of any of the solar-orbiting clouds of solid' meteorites. Earth's orbit passes through these meteorite clouds, giving rise to spectacular displays. So: Who aims these meteorite showers ...
377. Three Views of Heinsohn's Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Psamtek I then to be identified as well with Amenhotep III (real life father and predecessor of Akhenaten)? And as Heinsohn identifies Nebuchadnezzar II (the opponent of Necho II) with Hattusilis III (opponent of Ramesses II), does he also identify Akhenaten/Amenhotep II/Necho II with Ramesses II? This is representative of the spiral Heinsohn has created, where, starting with duplications of historical periods, he has progressed to triplications, with quadruplications and quintuplications on the horizon. Gunnar Heinsohn has produced the first known black hole of History, a phenomenon so dense that not even facts can escape! This is perhaps to be expected, given Heinsohn's unwavering belief in the ...
378. Further Comments on the Saturnian Configuration Theory (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Nuclear processes do not have the capability to generate and maintain electric currents outside a star. Once the charge separation reaches a certain level, space charge will prevent further current flow. However, the electrical activity that is observed throughout the Solar System requires that it be a part of a much larger circuit. And the magnetic fields of spiral galaxies require that they be a part of a much larger intergalactic circuit. Then we have all of the phenomena associated with the Sun that do not fit a thermonuclear model and require ad hoc and unseen internal mechanisms for their explanation. In some cases they require that the data be ignored! Such is the case with the solar oscillations ...
379. Reconciling Celestial Mechanics and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... from the beginning (20)." The kind of electric discharge I conceive to be responsible for solar radiation must necessarily be driven by an electric potential in interstellar space- a condition to be expected in a galaxy electrified by the separation of charges on a truly magnificent scale. Just such a situation is postulated by Bruce, who explains the spiral arms of our galaxy as electrical discharges initiated by the breakdown of a radial electric field extending through the entirety of galactic space. And just such a situation could provide the enormously high space potential (negative) that the discharge hypothesis requires. As I see it, then, the sun, already negatively charged to an extremely high electric ...
380. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Unravelling Genesis. We saw a wealth of pictures showing the theory of the various electromagnetic phenomena linked with the notion of an ice canopy around the Earth in which the world was reflected; the auroral oval, which can still be seen in special infra-red satellite photos, and the axis mundi, which is a column of auroral light, with spirals of ionised particles winding around it; the way the ancients depicted these phenomena was illustrated in pictures of columns, sun-boats, horned deities, crosses with rings around them, the world tree, the caduceus, and many more. This spectacular display made a fitting end to the proceedings, though there was a brief wrap-up session chaired by ...
