... present century, too, Anna was the one of Sigmund Freud's children who throughout his life was closest to him. She accompanied her father and mother into exile when Vienna was overrun by the Nazis. For many years Freud was sick, undergoing sixteen operations for cancer of the jaw; heroically he continued to work, to see patients and write books and articles, but he was tied to his home. In 1932 he wrote with a strong hand: "I would like to travel and nowhere more than to Palestine. But my invalid state permits me to carry on my life only at home." Yet in 1938 he went to the railway station in Vienna with his ...
552. "The Day The Sun Stood Still". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... part of the book. Then we heard from Mr. Putnam that your return to this country had been delayed and then that you were ill, and accordingly we marked time waiting till you might be ready to consider this project. Now I'm told that Mr. Putnam has gone abroad for a brief stay and therefore take the liberty of writing you directly. We think it should be possible, by eliminating some of the details in your account of what happened, to get out of the book two rather long articles- of something like six to eight thousand words apiece- which would demonstrate your thesis while not attempting to introduce all the evidence that is produced in the book. For ...
553. An Ear for Numbers [Journals] [Horus]
... this material as if it had been just butter all along. The paper, as it turns out, was a sample chapter from a book manuscript which McClain was having trouble getting published. Although other chapters appeared in print subsequently, eventually the book itself was published, titled The Pythagorean Plato. If there is a central theme in McClain's writings, it is that no modem-day approach to early scientific thought is valid if it does not take into account the acoustical impetus - that indeed music must rank, as the Chinese felt, pre-eminent and primordial among the various scientific pursuits of antiquity. Why was music first? Early man was decidedly aural in inclination, looking to music and ...
554. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... In contrast to bone diamonds are supposed to be protected almost indefinitely against interactions with the surrounding mantle'. Although some diamonds are known to be 2-3 thousand million years old' direct dating by the potassium-argon method has only recently been attempted and the results indicated that they were older than the Solar System! In a real give-away geologist Martin Dodson writes: "Obtained from a single sample, this result would simply have been rejected as being due to excess radiogenic argon." Explanations for the impossibly old datings are now being investigated, but it is asked: do the problems encountered in dating diamonds have serious implications for more conventional applications of the potassium-argon method? ' Modern Maize by ...
555. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:6 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents Vox Popvli Zysman's Reflective Canopy Model Mike Twose, from Toronto, Ontario, writes: Regarding Milton Zysman's reflective canopy model, (1 ) the phenomenon of the ground being reflected in the sky has been noted by several Arctic explorers. During the era when Europe was covered with an ice cap, such a sight might have been common nearby, perhaps over a large area. Zysman's mistake is in perhaps trying to extend a limited phenomenon to the whole world which, as Dwardu Cardona pointed out, does not work very well. It should also be pointed out that, in Zysman's model, it ...
556. Electricity in Astronomy, 1847 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... his astronomical observations, published 1847, Sir John Herschel suggested that the rapid changes in the apparent shape and size of Halley's comet, which he had been observing, could be due to electric charge on the sun. The point was picked upon by two (out of eight) of his reviewers, as follows: Sir David Brewster, writing in North British Review, commented'...rather than admit electricity as an agent residing in every sun and acting upon every system, we remain content with the humbler supposition that the rays of the sun may, in the exercise of their chemical and phvsical influences, find some ingredients in the tails of the comets, upon ...
557. Chiron: Giant Comet, Agent of Catastrophe? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... asteroids go (only 20 or 30 are known to be larger) and simply enormous as a comet - the largest known. Confirmation that Chiron was, indeed, a large comet came in the years 1987-1989 with increased brightness of the object and the development of a fuzzy coma of at least 40,000 kilometres length. Ken Croswell, writing for New Scientist, compares Chiron with its distant cousins' the comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 and Saturn's outermost moon, Phoebe. Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, with a diameter of 80 kilometres, has a stable slightly elongated orbit outside that of Jupiter and undergoes periodic brightening. Phoebe is dark, like Chiron, and of comparable size. It circles in the ...

559. Assyria and Hanigalbat: Texte und Studien zur Orientalistik</i> (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... is readily available it will serve as a standard reference work for many years to come. Harrak begins his work by considering the merits of creating studies that are at best incomplete even as they are written (pp. 3-4). In partial response and in addition to Harrak's own remarks about why one should not deter from such attempts to write history, I would like to add: Even though new texts and interpretations may modify our original proposal, it is just possible that the impetus for re-evaluation may derive from an intellectual entrepreneur's courage to step out. Indeed, in daring to present a tentative new synthesis a new focus and framework is provided for other scholars which may bring ...
560. Evolution from Space [Articles]
... Eric Crew who contributed to the REVIEW. If anyone has any further points for René, we could possibly start with those. Eric Crew: May I start by asking Peter Warlow what his plans are for producing his next book which we are all waiting for? Peter Warlow: Thank you for the kind comment. I had planned to write something on Ice Ages, with the provisional title of The Ice Deluge, trying to link the end of the last Ice Age with the Biblical flood. I then decided that I wasn't going to get very far that way; I have now changed tack and my next book is going to be called something like The Creation Catastrophe, ...
