... a point at which a clearer picture emerges. This is the time when the two giant planets- Saturn and Jupiter- approached each other closely. Possibly they were close for a long period of time, passing near one another as they traveled along orbital paths quite dissimilar to those of today. Saturn and Jupiter are so often associated in cosmological history that sometimes I even considered the possibility that they may have constituted a double star system, of which there are many in the universe. I said that Saturn and Jupiter were stars, though today we know them as planets. Actually, in Worlds in Collision, in the last chapter, I also used the word "star ...
272. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... seen that the vajra was associated with the epithet parvata, signifying "stone, or mountain". (180) The same word, however, elsewhere signifies the primordial hill which congealed within the waters of chaos at the dawn of Creation. As Kuiper has documented, the ancient conception of the primordial hill plays a prominent role in Indian cosmology, where it is intimately associated with the World Pillar: While in later times this axis was identified with Mount Meru, the cosmic mountain of the Rigveda does not yet bear that name (presumably of foreign origin), as this text is less concerned with primitive geography and much more with mythical cosmology, in which the primordial hill ...
273. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... .Are Band-aids on the Big Bang About to Snap? (New Scientist, 2.7 .05, p. 30 and 30.7 .05, p. 19; Science Frontiers, No. 161, Sep-Oct 2005, p. 4)An article in New Scientist by Marcus Chown attacked one of the basics of modern cosmology – the Big Bang theory for the origin of the universe. Eric Lerner, president of Lawrenceville Plasma Physics in New Jersey, was quoted as writing, This isn't science. Big Bang predictions are consistently wrong and are being fixed after the event' Today's accepted cosmology is apparently an ill-fitting conglomeration of theories including the Big Bang, inflation ...
274. Catastrophism and the Mammoths - I (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... a historical core to some such sources, but merely to emphasize that many of the sources used by Saturnists, Velikovskians, and other catastrophists do not relate to actual events no matter how declarative the texts are in modern translation. According to Hyers, using Genesis as a point of reference, "The basic literary genre of Genesis 1 is cosmological. And, inasmuch as it is dealing specifically with origins, it is cosmogonic. In order to interpret its meaning one has to learn to think cosmogonically, not scientifically or historically. This does not mean that the materials are, in any sense, irrational or illogical. They are perfectly rational and orderly, and have a logic ...
275. Comets -- the Cause of Historic and Prehistoric Catastrophes [Articles]
... really just history, certainly astronomy, you can say that we are just reaching back in time and adding on to the bottom end of the historical records. Our aim obviously is to try and get the information that comes to us in these disciplines all of a piece, and that I see as the ultimate aim of the science of cosmology. If I can keep to this programme of dividing my talk into two halves, usually what I do is to get the first half into about 90% of the talk and then rush the second half, so it becomes a bit problematic joining them up. But if I succeed, I hope I can then preach a message ...
276. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... whole of 19th-century mainly-Germanic European science in one blow and replaces it with a model of the cosmos derived from the Bible. Playing the game correctly, acting always as the scientist, he destroys classical science with its own data and takes the view of nature back to the period before 1800, if not to medieval and even eastern physics and cosmology. In his framework, one which, by the way, is coming more and more to be accepted in science itself as we approach the 21st century, cosmic and earthly stability are interims between the violent moments of cataclysm which have always punctuated, to use biologist Niles Eldredge's word, the uniformitarian epochs which alone science records. This ...
277. The Origin And Evolution Of Stars [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... detect these more energetic, massive neutrinos, the Kamiokande observatory was tremendously enlarged. It was made highly sensitive to these particles and was renamed Super-Kamiokande. Haxton's comments on this development are significant: "We do have one candidate, solution that works extremely well: the MSW mechanism. The required new physics has deep implications for particle physics and cosmology. Yet this physics is not exotic-the requirements of massive neutrinos and mixing are common assumptions in extensions of the standard electro-weak model. The elegance of this solution makes it difficult to maintain one's scientific skepticism. The notion that the sun was perfectly designed to enhance the mixing of neutrinos . . . has too great an emotional appeal. " ...
278. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... of the sky which took place when the mountains fell. Because mountains fell or were levelled at the same time when the sky was displaced, ancient peoples, not only the Chinese, thought that mountains support the sky." V here refers to Forke p.43, the relevant section of which reads thus: " A very old cosmological myth which can be traced much farther back than that of P'an Ku is the story of Kung Kung and Nil Wa. Wang Ch'ung already calls it a very old tradition. Kung Lung, a legendary person of pre- historic time, in his anger ran against Mount Pu- chou, the Pillar of Heaven', so that ...
279. Thoth Vol V, No 10: August 31, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... number of solar neutrinos predicted by models of the Sun? The results confirm that electron neutrinos produced by nuclear reactions inside the Sun oscillate' or change flavour on their journey to Earth. Neutrino oscillations are only possible if the three flavours of neutrino [electron, muon and tau] have mass. The SNO result therefore has important implications for cosmology and particle physics. THE ARTICLE CONTINUES: The Sudbury Neutrino (SNO) experiment Although the SuperKamiokande experiment in Japan has seen strong evidence for the disappearance of "atmospheric neutrinos" [neutrinos that are produced when cosmic rays interact with nuclei in the Earth's atmosphere (Physics World July 1998 pp17-18)] the SNO results are significant because, ...
280. Cosmic Catastrophe in 'Paradise Lost' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... propounded by Dr I. Velikovsky, but I have read several of his books and H. S. Bellamy's MOONS, MYTHS AND MAN which reminded me of another work which centred round the dramatic fall from grace of Lucifer, the brightest object in the sky. It occurred to me that Milton might have something of interest to say about cosmology, and when I opened PARADISE LOST - for the first time in 30 years or more - I was surprised to find that it did indeed contain material of considerable interest. Several long passages in this poem either are, or could be interpreted as, accounts of a planetary Armageddon, and an annotated commentary on the whole work from ...
