Polar Bulge * As I said in my last post, Cardona said there was a polar bulge at the north pole and that magma below the bulge was removed, causing collapse of the crust above it. That's definitely evidence for Fred's theory and against Earth expansion. The latter would predict addition of magma, not removal of it. But Fred's theory would predict removal, because the polar axis of the Earth shrank as the magma moved to the equatorial zone. * Here's an illustration. http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss180/Lkindr/TB/FredJ.jpg - The yellow & light green oval represents Earth squeezed in a Z-pinch. - The green circle represents Earth after release from the Z-pinch and subjected only to normal gravity. - Magma within the yellow areas in the polar regions would be removed into the green areas. * Fred points out now that even around the polar regions there would be evidence of crustal expansion, due to the ends of the oval shape flattening to a sphere shape. But I add that there would still be removal of magma inward from below the crust, as Cardona mentioned.
an electromagnetic z-pinch can squeeze plasma with such force that it rapidly compresses.
* Much of the Earth may be plasma. But an experiment with a soda can shows that the Z-pinch can also squeeze metal the same way, as shown earlier in this thread. * This TPOD, Stars in Collision Part 2, says: - Astronomers have recently discovered a band of energetic neutral atoms around the sky. This discovery supports the hypothesis that the Sun captured a previously independent Saturnian system, in which Saturn was the brown-dwarf primary for the planets Earth, Mars, and Venus. - Part 1 described the first kind of electric star, the anodic star, formed at the focus of a z-pinch. The sheath around such a star would have the shape of an hourglass, as is seen in planetary nebulae. Recent observations of energetic neutral atoms indicate that the Sun's sheath also has such a shape. - What about the observations of comet-like stars? These are seen in the tangled high-energy "short-circuit" discharges of so-called star-forming regions. If a star that has a lower positive charge (with respect to the galactic plasma) enters the sheath of a second star that has a higher positive charge, the first star will lose its interaction with the galactic plasma and begin to interact with the plasma inside the second star's sheath. The first star will now have a negative charge with respect to the second. It will become a cathodic star and behave as do other negatively charged bodies in an anode sheath, such as comets. It will develop a coma and a tail. This is the second kind of electric star. See the image at: http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2009/image09/091102interl~

I always thought the alleged Z-pinch was above earth, hence the squatter man rock art.

Re: Earth Was a Moon of Saturn
* Yes, the polar plasma column was part of the Z-pinch. The pinch was an ion stream, I think, that flowed all around the Earth from north to south, according to one of Peratt's illustrations. I hear that the squatterman figure, chain of arrows etc was how the column looked when it was being severed during the Saturn System breakup, which is why it was seen toward the south pole. I think I linked to Peratt's paper in an earlier post in this thread.

Re: Earth Was a Moon of Saturn
I've read Peratt's paper and it is very good, but he doesn't give any interpretation or cause of the Z-pinch, just that rock art testifies to its existence.
More from Fred * At http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~, the second page of this thread, I mentioned part of Fred Jueneman's version of the Saturn Theory. In my post above I show an image meant to describe Fred's idea of how the electrical Z-pinch from Saturn squeezed the Earth equatorially into an oval shape. The image shows both the spherical and oval shapes superimposed to indicate that it changed from one shape to the other. Here's that image again. http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss180/Lkindr/TB/FredJ.jpg * In a message dated 9/22/11 6:17:11 PM, [Lloyd] writes:
> Fred, ... if Earth was sometimes within a Z-pinch and sometimes not, does that mean that the early biosphere would have grown large during the pinch times and would have been crushed when they ended and Earth returned to spherical form with a thick atmosphere? Or had the atmosphere already been greatly reduced by the time life developed?
* And Fred replied.
In my view, proto-Earth was nearly always within the confines of the Bennett pinch throughout its history. Catastrophic extinctions apparently occurred when proto-Earth was not at the focus of a Z-pinch. Along with this, if I didn't make myself clear earlier, proto-Earth always had a thicker atmosphere, but lost massive chunks of it with each catastrophic episode. For convenience I will only count as significant the five major extinction episodes. What atmosphere we enjoy today is a pale remnant of what may once have existed in the primordial past. All flora and fauna would have survived and become acclimated under this atmospheric blanket, much as today's sealife in the abyssal depths of the oceans are in equilibrium with their environment. But, after each catastrophic episode, both flora and fauna would have had to adapt to the new environment. Everything about us today is a result of that adaptation. If you mention any of this, please don't take it out of context. There are still many additional details yet to be worked out in this Escheresque scenario, which is why I put an estimate of the year 2015 as the earliest the book may appear. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshsommer ... otostream/

Re: Earth Was a Moon of Saturn
What happened to the idea that the earth was once much smaller, and that the tectonic movement has been due to its becoming bigger. Expanding at some plates and contracting at others. If you take the whole planet and shrink it at the pacific plate (and a few others), everything comes together. Seems like there's a video of that on youtube somewhere.
Thanks. I knew that had been discussed here before.

Re: Earth Was a Moon of Saturn
Thread Summary * I'll try to give a summary of the highlights of this thread so far. Saturn Theories http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ * The theory that Earth was a moon of Saturn is accepted by most or all of the Thunderbolts team. Talbott wrote about it in his 1980 book, The Saturn Myth. Cardona has written 3 big books about it so far, called God Star, Flare Star and Primordial Star, and hopes to write a few more. Both got their initial Saturn theory ideas from Velikovsky, who found evidence in the 1940s that Earth had been a moon of Saturn. Comet-like Saturn * The oddest thing they found was that Saturn appeared to the ancients to be a pole star that was usually fixed in one part of the sky on Earth's northern axis. Cardona finally found a plausible mechanism for that odd shish-kabob configuration. Saturn, as a brown dwarf star outside the Solar System, behaved like a comet, with Mars and Earth following behind it, similar to the way the SL9 comet fragments trailed behind each other in a near straight line. If one were positioned on one of those trailing fragments, one might have been able to view the leading fragment, which would have appeared constantly to be straight up, instead of one orbiting around the other. So that's why the ancients saw Saturn constantly straight up over the north pole. Supercontinent Dead End http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ * When I started this thread, I thought I had a good insight into how a supercontinent on ancient Earth could have broken apart into continents and islands. I thought Africa must have been at the north pole after detritus from periodic Saturn flares had built up a supercontinent in the northern hemisphere, centered on Africa. And I thought, when Saturn flares caused Earth's surface to stop rotating and then start again, the friction at the Moho layer could have melted the crust thin enough for the peripheral continents to break away from the central continent of Africa, due to centrifugal force as the Earth returned to faster rotation. But, then, I heard more from Dwardu (Cardona) and Fred Jueneman, that changed my mind. Earth Was Squeezed to Prolate (Oval) Form http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ * After about 30 years of knowing about the Saturn Theory, Fred didn't accept it until about a year ago, when he read a paper by Peratt about the squeezing effect of electrical Z-pinches, which Saturn's electric field must have done to the Earth (and Mars etc). When Saturn's electric field subsided, gravity would have then formed the Earth into a sphere. The crust would then have broken up into continents, as the space between them expanded equatorially. The surface around the poles would also have expanded, but the magma along the shortening polar axis would have been pushed down toward the equator away as the poles shortened. This explains the evidence of both continental drift and Earth expansion. Weaker Gravity on Ancient Earth http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ * Saturn's Z-pinch would have reduced Earth's equatorial circumference and elongated its poles, making it oval, and it would also have made the Earth spin much faster, causing objects to weigh much less at the surface. So the large dinosaurs, insects, tree ferns etc would have been able to grow much larger than today. Comet Evidence http://thunderbolts.info/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&~ * Comets appear to be within strong electric fields that produce Z-pinch effects and the fact, that many of the comets that have been observed are seen to be elongated, is good evidence that Earth could also have been elongated in such a Z-pinch.

Re: Earth Was a Moon of Saturn
The only problem I have with the "Cometary Shishkebob" is how the planet's eventually stabilize into our current orbits from then. If Saturn was the lead edge of the shishkebob with mars/earth following how do the orbits stabilize near the ecliptic? I would expect them to come in at a significant angle and maintain that. However, if the trajectory was near the ecliptic, then all of the planets should have their rotational axis at near 90 degrees like Uranis. If they came in at an angle of around ~30 degrees like Earth/Mars/Saturn/Neptune have to the Sun's equator, how do they all settle into orbits that have less than 7 degrees inclination to the Sun's equator.

"supercontinent" bunk and expanding Earth

It's been demonstrated to my satisfaction that this "supercontinent" or "pangea" idea is absolute bunk. The continents don't fit together well on a planet the size of Earth today. They do, however, fit together almost perfectly on a planet much smaller (around 60% the present size of Earth, I believe) planet. Earth expansion is a logical conclusion of the observed fact that many tons of material rain down on Earth every day from space. Obviously as a result of such a hail of material the Earth's radius is increasing. I believe much of this material is pushed into the interior of Earth in a process much like electroplating, through the "spreading sea floor", where we observe volcanic activity (clear signs of electrical activity).

I am in agreement with your conclusion. I believe the Plasma Fountains of the Earth and phenom such as the Aurora, present us with evidence of oxygen ion interactions with the solar wind and flare activity allowing water to fall on the earth.
