Summary edit
| Description |
English: Scalloway New Street; inscription from 1910 by local stonemason and amateur scientist William Johnson; inscription below ridge: RE EARTH TIDES: we are told that the Moon raises the solid surface of the Earth under it about 8 inches and raises the OPPOSITE SIDE 8 [inches]. This I hold to be impossible. The phenomenon called EARTH TIDE IS CAUSED BY E-H's [(Earth's)] WEIGHT PULLING ... [The remainder of the stone has worn but I understand that it ended: AGAINST THE SUN'S ATTRACTION]. The circular white inset reads: Section at EQUATOR of EARTH. GERMAN THEORIES CONTROVERTED. GERMANS Are Not The Favoured of Heaven. (with 'ATTRACTION FLOOD' written around the arched top and 'BALANCE FLOOD' around the bottom) |
