... see into space further than the Big Bang theory admits - is this true? Wal said that Earl Milton looked at the results from the various spectra of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collision with the planet Jupiter and he showed they fitted better with the effects of electrical discharges between the bodies and Jupiter before they actually struck the planet. So those strange, violent outbursts which soaked the detectors on earth and sent them over their detection limits would be explicable in terms of electrical discharges. Also there were auroral effects on Jupiter which were out of all proportion to the tiny sizes of the rocks that hit the planet. The same thing would happen on Earth if we were struck by a ...
512. For the Record... [Journals] [Kronos]
... June 18, 1976 (p . D16) reported that "Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists displayed the first close-up pictures of Mars taken from Viking I and said they were puzzled by a bright haze that obscured details of the planet's surface . . . . The haze in the north was so bright it obscured the camera." What caused this strange unexpected bright light, no one could say. Perhaps the answer has already been provided by Velikovsky in his AAAS speech: "I would speculate that the red color of Mars, due mainly to the ferruginous material acquired from Venus when the latter displaced it from its orbit (in the theomachy described in great detail in the Iliad) ...
513. The Rise of a New Culture (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... steel tools of average quality are quickly blunted by the fine, close texture of the stone. Possibly the Tiahuanacans knew of a secret process to harden bronze. The implements hitherto excavated are not hard enough; either they have depreciated in toughness and temper, or they are not identical with those which formed the rough blocks of andesite into their strange but exactly worked shapes. Besides, these tools are clumsy and would not have allowed the cutting of the sometimes almost filigree-like ornaments. It is certain that the appearance of bronze tools in the culture-strata of Tiahuanaco coincided with the arrival of the new immigrants of superior race and high scientific and artistic accomplishments, who were responsible for the classic ...
514. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Polar Problems New Scientist 22.1 .00, p. 21, 8.4 .00, p. 21, 2.9 .00, p. 25, New York Times 26.10.99 During the Cretaceous period, high temperatures are supposed to have caused dense forest growth on all continents, including Antarctica. Strange, then, that Antarctica is the only continent where extensive coal beds failed to form. Nowadays Antarctica is, of course, covered in ice and recent investigations have revealed that this is underlain by immense rivers and even a huge lake. Ice and sub-ice water flow in an unpredictable way, probably facilitated by geothermal and volcanic heating which ...
515. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... know nothing about it. In this and other areas of local representational art, Sitchin rapidly degenerates into the tedious "new euhemerism" - Euhemerus was a 4th century Greek philosopher who taught that mythology had a historical origin and that the gods were but the magnified and distorted memories of earlier great men - of the von Daniken school. Every strange costume is a spacesuit, every pointed artifact an imitation of a rocket, large stylized eyes must be goggles, etc. etc. (But can someone explain to me why supposed goggles are so popular with the ET fanatics? Bikers, divers and welders, perhaps - but astronauts?) Sitchin has obviously put a lot of work ...
516. Electro-Gravitic Theory (Forum) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have found that electric currents flow along galactic arms as though this explains his views about the energy of the Sun. It certainly does not justify his dogmatic (I nearly wrote impertinent') statement that both the Standard Solar Model and Laszlo's model fail on the same fundamental observational grounds'. My friend Wal is now so committed to his strange theory that he is unlikely to change his mind but I am impressed by his views that scars on planets and satellites appear to be caused by external electrical discharges. He is a regular contributer to the Thoth electronic series and I sent an email to the editor (thoth@Whidbey.com) to suggest that highly charged bodies may ...
517. Oedipus Questions (Letter) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Suppiluliumas but what evidence is there of plague in Egypt at the same time ? Of course, it is likely that Akhenaten was deposed because of setbacks of some kind and a plague is one reason why that happened. However, a military setback of some kind may also have been seen as a disaster, whilst a climatic glitch and strange activity in the sky together with crop failures and famine may have been seen as direct evidence of an angry god, namely Amun who had been sidelined by Akhenaten. What evidence is there for any of this ? It is not a theme historians generally dwell upon in regard to Akhenaten. Did Velikovsky exercise his imagination at this point or ...
518. Overnight Valley Formation in São Nicolau [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... . Tree trunks and fragments of black fossilised wood had been uncovered from the underground, and there was a new and unfamiliar smell about the place. The material which had occupied the space of the furrow had come to rest 100 meter downstream, arranged in-big roundish lumps full of fissures, giving it the aspect of a newly plowed field; strange balls of a dark material of low density had moved down with the soil material. A waterpump from the upper part of the gully was discovered after much searching some 20 days later about 200 metres from its original position. For months to come, people from the surrounding farms and villages came to see the newly formed valley and to ...
519. The Ice Age (Life History of Our Earth) [Books]
... quickly. Though there can be no doubt that the Ice Age resulted in the simultaneous glaciation of wide areas of the whole Earth, yet it is difficult to correlate the individual glaciations of different parts of the globe, the different glacial phenomena do not seem to be absolutely independent as to locality and time, but seem to overlap in a strange manner. A glacial theory has to try to explain all these points satisfactorily, and has also to show a plausible cause why the Ice Age happened. Moreover, though this is not generally admitted, a glacial theory has to fit into the great fabric of happenings which constitute in their entirety the life history of our Earth. Numerous ...
520. Saturn's Revolving Crescent [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Mars and Io rolled into one" Cooper, New Yorker, June 18, 1990, p.84. Triton was one of the Saturnian family! Neptune's small moon, Nereid, appears to be an object that almost escaped capture during the flyby. As for the other inner satellites, Dr S R Taylor has written: "The strange Neptunian satellite system seems to be principally the result of the capture of Triton, whose arrival on the scene must have resembled that of a bull entering a china shop." It is interesting that Tom Van Flandern's model required a slow flyby. It adds weight to my suggestion that the Polar configuration was transient but lasted for a time ...
