- :: 2. How did life survive Earth's journey to its present orbit?

- Ah, I see Ted may have a tapeworm also.
-
- Or, as Tonto said when the Lone Ranger wondered whether they
- could perhaps negotiate with the hostile indians who were about
- to put him to death... "What you mean ``we'', kemosabe?"
-
- : is that the felt effect of gravity was heavily attenuated
- : in antediluvian times, as I have heavily documented on t.o, that this is
- : consistent with the notion of a former solar system of roughly the nature
- : which I have described, that Velikovsky, Talbott, Cardona, and others have
- : heavily documented the descriptions of this former system which exist in
- : antique literature and on pyramid walls etc. Aside from Talbott's Saturn
- : Myth, there are numerous papers of Cardona's from Aeon and Kronos.
-
- So, in order to answer the question "how did the dinosaurs stand",
- Ted is willing to leave dangling questions such as "how did the
- earth survive sresses sufficient to turn it into a ring of gravel"
- and "how did the earth not freeze" and "why are dinosaur finds
- made outside 30 degrees from the sub-saturn point" and "why wasn't
- the sub-saturn point covered with water" and "why do tree-ring
- dates disagree with Ted's chronology" and "why do ice-core dates
- disagree with Ted's chronology" and "where did the extra mass
- Ted requires saturn to have had go" and several dozens more.
-
- In other words, going along with Ted's models, we make *negative*
- progress in terms of the model fitting the facts.
-
- It is also interesting to speculate what Ted could possibly mean by
- "[..attenuated felt effect is..] consistent with the notion of a
- former solar system [..a-la Talbott]", when simple calculations
- show that such a "former solar system" would not produce the
- felt effect properties that Ted uses it for in the first place.
