Excerpt: ... a revengeful God, then all thought of material protection is at an end and he waits submissively in his tracks until the death-blow comes. If one believes that the origin of tornadoes is purely electrical and that the force of the storm is maintained by the presence of electricity in some form or other, then his theory of protection must be constructed accordingly. The same may be said of the planetary theory. According to the foundation so is the strength and security of the superstructure. the electrical theory. There is no fact or record to show that an electrical discharge or any manifestation of atmospheric electricity ever entirely demolished a large stone or frame building; ever lifted a locomotive from the track; ever carried an iron bridge from its foundation and twisted the frame-work into a shapeless mass; ever rolled a boulder from its bed in the ground; ever embedded one piece of timber into another after having carried the former for several hundred yards in the air; ever carried bedding and clothing for miles in the air; ever elevated to considerable heights in the air columns of water from ponds, lakes, and rivers; ever lifted animals from the earth and carried them over buildings; ever drew the water from a well or cistern; ever twisted a tree from its stump; ever turned a building bottom side up or end for end, without otherwise injuring it. Many other effects of the peculiar manifestations of power in the tornado might be instanced to illustrate the impossibility of electrical intervention. Electrical forces always act in straight lines, while the forces of the tornado are exerted in both straight and curved, lines, or in any combination of them. Can any manifestation of electrical force twist the body of a hickory...

Download or read book Tornado God written by Peter J. Thuesen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest sources of humanity's religious impulse was severe weather, which ancient peoples attributed to the wrath of storm gods. Enlightenment thinkers derided such beliefs as superstition and predicted they would pass away as humans became more scientifically and theologically sophisticated. But in America, scientific and theological hubris came face-to-face with the tornado, nature's most violent windstorm. Striking the United States more than any other nation, tornadoes have consistently defied scientists' efforts to unlock their secrets. Meteorologists now acknowledge that even the most powerful computers will likely never be able to predict a tornado's precise path. Similarly, tornadoes have repeatedly brought Americans to the outer limits of theology, drawing them into the vortex of such mysteries as how to reconcile suffering with a loving God and whether there is underlying purpose or randomness in the universe. In this groundbreaking history, Peter Thuesen captures the harrowing drama of tornadoes, as clergy, theologians, meteorologists, and ordinary citizens struggle to make sense of these death-dealing tempests. He argues that, in the tornado, Americans experience something that is at once culturally peculiar (the indigenous storm of the national imagination) and religiously primal (the sense of awe before an unpredictable and mysterious power). He also shows that, in an era of climate change, the weather raises the issue of society's complicity in natural disasters. In the whirlwind, Americans confront the question of their own destiny-how much is self-determined and how much is beyond human understanding or control.

Download or read book Transient and Strange Notes on the Science of Life written by Nell Greenfieldboyce and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An astonishing debut from the beloved NPR science correspondent: intimate essays about the intersection of science and everyday life. In her career as a science reporter, Nell Greenfieldboyce has reported from inside a space shuttle, the bottom of a coal mine, and the control room of a particle collider; she’s presented news on the color of dinosaur eggs, ice worms that live on mountaintop glaciers, and signs of life on Venus. In this, her debut book, she delivers a wholly original collection of powerful, emotionally raw, and unforgettable personal essays that probe the places where science touches our lives most intimately. Expertly weaving her own experiences of motherhood and marriage with an almost devotional attention to the natural world, Greenfieldboyce grapples with the weighty dualities of life: birth and death, constancy and impermanence, memory and doubt, love and aging. She looks for a connection to the universe by embarking on a search for the otherworldly glint of a micrometeorite in the dust, consults meteorologists and storm chasers on the eerie power of tornadoes to soothe her children’s anxieties, and processes her adolescent oblivion through the startling discovery of black holes. Inspired throughout by Walt Whitman’s invocation to the “transient and strange,” she remains attuned to the wildest workings of our world, reflecting on the incredible leap of the humble flea or the echoing truth of a fetal heartbeat. A beautiful blend of explanatory science, original reporting, and personal experience, Transient and Strange captures the ache of ordinary life, offering resonant insights into both the world around us and the worlds within us.

Book excerpt: With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations In Storm Kings, Lee Sandlin retraces America's fascination and unique relationship to tornadoes and the weather.
