... as Velikovsky's Theory). Sagan proposes that the deciding factor influencing an astronomer's adoption of a cosmological theory may be the manner of his birth, with proponents of the "Big Bang" theory having undergone the trauma of normal birth, whilst the "steady state" adherents were "from their mother's womb untimely ripp'd" (Shakespeare, not ... ; Macbeth was naturally in favour of the "steady state", particularly with regard to Birnam Wood). With this breakthrough, Sagan must now also be recognised as the world's leading, if not only, para-obstetrician and it can only be a matter of time before he announces his project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers (Swift) ...
182. Empedocles, Healer of the Mind (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... There is no way of preserving records or memories of earlier states. It is like present-day astronomers trying to talk about what happened before (or even during) a supposed big bang, or what happened when the universe was in some supposed state of contraction that preceded its present state of expansion. All in all, we are much better ... abandoning the four-Stage cycle as an interpretation of Empedocles. We thereby avoid some serious difficulties, and there never was any compelling evidence in its favor to begin with. Nevertheless, it may be granted that, in terms of the here and the now, that is, in terms of the present state of our little corner of the universe ...
183. Thoth Vol V, No 6: May 31, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... redshift distances are as unrealistic a picture of the universe as Ptolemy's epicycles were of the solar system. It took ancient astronomers 1000 years to "unlearn" Ptolemy. The big bang and expanding universe distortions have reigned supreme for over half a century. How long until their misinterpretation is unraveled? Today's "Galileo", Halton Arp, is ... and working full-time (with neither telescope time nor paycheck) to turn the extragalactic paradigm around. His most recent project involves the newly released HST Cepheid distances and Hubble constant info. He says that the data is full of inconsistencies that shed new light on old mistakes and reinforce the new "age but not distance" interpretation of redshift. ...

... the interior of Abu Simbel. Away from the bright lights it must have been increasingly difficult to obtain craftsmen. Like all declining civilisations, the leaders Seti and Ramesses confused bigness with greatness. There was no aversion to a little "borrowing" and boasting here and there. Does not that beautiful granite statue of the highest quality work in ... type architecture and the vulgar Ptolemaic styles. Naturally poor old Ramesses III also tried his best with the decadence (and obvious exotic influences) that was his lot. Coming bang on top of him were the Ptolemaic conquerors pretending to boost and revive Egypt with wealth and aggression, and the arguments of Jones and Gardiner actually emphasises their juxtaposition, ...

187. Thoth Vol II, No. 16: Oct 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... stars in our galaxy were being measured spectroscopically. The initial discoverers of this effect wisely refrained from concluding that the youngest stars in our galaxy were expanding like a relativistically unstable big bang. But the effect has not been explained. It is possible the same effect observed in the extragalactic nebulae will now stimulate its study in stars? Nearby stars ... be studied in great astrophysical detail. But whether or not this study will help to reveal the cause of the intrinsic redshift, that effect must be at least empirically corrected for in all studies of stars and galaxies in order to obtain true velocities. All the basic kinematics and dynamics of star systems, galaxies and aggregates of galaxies depends on ...

... formed 4.5 billion years ago and the order of the planets has not changed since (first stated by the mathematician Laplace). the universe began in a "big bang" about 10 billion years ago and the universe has been expanding ever since (first stated by Hubble at the turn of the century). Gravity is the ... force that governs the cosmos (first stated by Newton). Comets are frozen balls of ice which melt when near the Sun (first stated by Kepler).

189. Electric Stars in a Gravity-Less Electrified Cosmos [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in sign (all negatively charged), the observed recession of the galaxies from the Milky Way is understood: electrical repulsion is dispersing the Universe, not the hypothetical "Big Bang". As Voyager I passed Jupiter one year ago (April 1979), NASA scientists aimed the spacecraft so that it would pass between the planet and its ... Io. This trajectory was chosen to investigate a tube of electrical flow between Jupiter and Io, through which a five-million-ampere electrical current is postulated (10). NASA scientists claim Io is electrically polarised with a potential difference of 400 kilovolts across the body of this satellite. Aiming errors notwithstanding, Voyager missed the flux tube by 7,000 ...
190. Sirius and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... It is risky to name your opponents' theories. Remember that Fred Hoyle (whom I grudgingly admire, even though he detests me) nicknamed his opponents' theory the Big Bang', presumably to ridicule it into oblivion, but the name stuck and is now spoken with awe (present company excluded). What I would like, ... course, is to provoke my opponents into finding a decent and accurate name for their theory, so that I am no longer defined into non-existence. So far, they have displayed no interest in addressing this matter [10]. There have been two major changes in my reaction to the so-called Saturn Theory'. It is now increasingly ...
