... huge dimensions exposed to the cold of space, the polar column would readily have radiated its internal heat away, absorbing only enough incident radiation from the Sun to achieve a relatively low, sub-zero equilibrium temperature. Upon collapse of the column, the mechanical and electrical potential contained in the vortex would have been returned to Earth, accompanied by Jovian thunderbolts and an abyssal cooling. Adiabatic Demagnetization There is a method of cooling paramagnetic materials known as Giauque-Debye adiabatic demagnetization, where the substance is first reduced in temperature to that of boiling liquid helium ( -269 C) in a strong magnetic field. Upon the deliberate collapse of the field, the temperature plummets to within a millidegree of absolute ...

323. On the Orientation of Ancient Temples and Other Anomalies [Journals] [Aeon]
... that there was a great difference in electrical potential between the earth and the heavenly visitor. As it passed overhead we can imagine that a series of gigantic lightning storms occurred, touching the high points briefly, much like the sparks in a rim-fire spark plug. Each contact would be very brief, the energy would be seen as a Jovian thunderbolt, much stronger than a normal lightning bolt (which sometimes produces worms of fused sand in deserts). The rock walls would be fused where the rocks touched. The surfaces of the walls of cities (and possibly some of the houses in them) would be fused from the violence of the energy exchange. A number of unanswered ...
324. CLASHING MAGNETIC FIELDS [Journals] [Aeon]
... means 250,000 people. This corresponds to about a 6% mortality in Palestine. During each late October flyby, Jupiter was always in the feared zone of Cancer. The Greeks considered "Father Zeus" (Dyaus-Pitar in Sanskrit) to be the father of Ares, or Mars.(16) Thus they portrayed Zeus with a thunderbolt held in his hand, although actually that flux tube was held by the magnetic poles of Ares/Mars. We are describing a vestige or relic of truth in Greek "mythology". The Earth/Mars flux tube arched across celestial regions. There were probably direct discharges across some 15,000 to 75,000 miles of ...
325. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... the level of Batman- had there been something even faintly smacking of the sort in the Old Testament narratives to which these coups de theatre are made to refer. But nowhere in the Old Testament is there even an intimation of a planet growing in size and finally looming large in the sky let alone zapping the multitudes below with its celestial thunderbolts. What do we, in fact, find concerning Mars when we investigate this source? Better still, what did Patten himself find? To use his own words: "at the initial glance, it seems that Mars is not found even once in the Old Testament." (140) But then: "Contrary to the ...
326. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... specifically described as a "blast from the sky," and said to have been accompanied by a terrific noise. Such details are consistent with the fall of meteorites. Indeed, in his discussion of various traditions which speak of a mouse in association with this disaster, Velikovsky writes that the cult of the mouse featured "sacred cities of thunderbolt and meteorites." (3 ) In the following section, describing the events of 687 BC, Velikovsky cites various sources to the effect that "stars fell like rain." (4 ) That these are to be understood as meteorites is obvious from Velikovsky's discussion, wherein he reports that celestial records later spoke of solitary meteorites falling ...
327. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... discussions concerning the Valles Marineris on Mars? Talbott: That's another example of linkage between the historical argument and plasma physics. It was perhaps ten years ago that I first noticed an interesting myth-ical theme I designated the "scarface motif." It is quite broadly distributed: the warrior-hero running amok, only to be struck down by a heaven-shattering thunderbolt or other weapon, and, in a number of instances, emerging from the episode with a great scar on his cheek, his forehead, or his thigh. (Variations of the scarring motif include such mythological figures as the Hindu Indra, Greek Theseus, Blackfoot Indian "Scarface," and the Aztec Tlaloc.) Well, ...
328. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... related by Lucretius in De Rerum Natura, of the exiguum clinamen (or tiny swerve) performed by atoms in their courses, which accounts for free will or randomness in a mechanical Universe? In the Agamemnon, the signal fire is described as a beard of flame, reminding one of Thor's red beard. He was a god of the thunderbolt, wore a belt of strength, had goats to draw his chariot through the sky, and wore a horned helmet. The Oresteia has many references to the net of doom in which Agamemnon was caught. Homer describes the net which trapped Ares and Aphrodite as being extremely fine and strong. Artemis, so similar to her brother Apollo ...

... before seen, and encompassed the place where they had pitched their tents; and while all the rest of the air was clear, there came strong winds, that raised up large showers of rain, which became a mighty tempest. There was also such lightning, as was terrible to those that saw it; and thunder, with its thunderbolts, were sent down, and declared God to be there present in a gracious way to such as Moses desired he should be gracious. Now, as to these matters, every one of my readers may think as he pleases; but I am under a necessity of relating this history as it is described in the sacred books. ...
