... the Mexican calendar; though I did not put "great value" on the date, everything I said was precise, correct, careful, and cautious. [An additional issue for which Professor Kubler took me to task concerned my dating of certain events in Mesoamerican history (Worlds in Collision, p. 254): "The Mesoamerican cosmology to which Velikovsky repeatedly appeals for proof did not originate and could not originate until about the beginning of our era. Velikovsky alludes to Toltec-Aztec wars as possibly originating before the present era'. . Toltec remains in Mexico and the Maya area are now dated before 1260 A.D . and Aztec civilization is dated after 1360 A. ...
382. Thoth Vol I, No. 17: June 30, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... ion loss may also have played a role. Copyright New Scientist, IPC Magazines Limited 1997 Submitted by Ian Tresman- RALPH SANSBURY'S WORK Wal Thornhill (walt@netinfo.com.au) Wal wrote: Ralph's work has enormous implications for physics and heralds a return to classical models of subatomic particles and away from the metaphysics which now underpin cosmology and particle physics. My humble view is that it is the breakthrough needed for fundamental science to progress once more. Questioner writes: I look forward to it! Do you have any references to Ralph Sansbury's work to keep me occupied till then? Wal replies: I think relevant copies of the Journal of Classical Physics may be obtained ...
383. The Capture Of Luna (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... conform to those speculations of his time which have become known to us; and they are certainly not new conjectures put forward by the philosopher himself. I believe I am correct in asserting that the various geophysical descriptions must have been taken from Solon's notes on Atlantis, and eventually derive from ancient traditions of original observations. Interpreted according to Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory - the first theory which allows an absolute explanation - all these geophysical references are quite logical and correct, though many of them do not belong to their present context. Some of them have not only been displaced, but `telescoped', that is, they have become shortened and shorn of some of their elements. Others ...
384. Society for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dealing with the subjects contained in the Objects, for the use of members; (h ) any other means not contained above. CURRENT CONCERNS The current work of the Society is centred around the theories of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, with the aim of providing a forum for the many serious investigators now showing a positive interest in his historical and cosmological hypotheses and for the sharing of ideas at every level. The aim is to bring a rational and objective approach to the theories and encourage the detailed evaluation which appears their due in the light of evidence accumulating in their favour; and thus counterbalance the somewhat one-sided coverage accorded over the past quarter-century by the established specialist journals. Problems met ...
385. Problems of Electricity in Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... until 1962, when the first quasar was observed. The response to these stimulating ideas was negligible and yet astronomers continued to complain publicly about their failure to understand the flood of new observations from radio telescopes and satellites. To mention a few: Prof. F. G. Smith, Director of Greenwich Observatory, wrote in 1972: "cosmological theories are pitifully inadequate to explain why differences exist between the various types of galaxy". Prof. R. L. F. Boyd, London University, in 1975: "active galaxies and quasars are still a puzzle to astronomers". Both of these bewildered gentlemen failed to reply to my letters asking their views about Bruce's theory ...
386. Angels & Catastrophism - Some Theological Implications - Part I [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Venus vanishing over the horizon doubtless inspired primitive observers to see in this the fall of the wicked serpent banished from heaven and condemned to eat dust'. The fact that Jesus quotes Isaiah 14:12 when he states in Luke 10:18: "I watched Satan fall like lightning from heaven" only indicates that Jesus inherited the primitive cosmological understanding of his time although it is true that if he did more than quote Isaiah and, as he said, actually saw Lucifer/Satan fall, then it also shows that Jesus was remarkably in tune with the past experience of the human race insofar as he was able to witness in a personal way events that occurred long before ...

388. The McMaster University Symposium - June 1974 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and 2nd millennia BC - several centuries before Velikovsky's great double catastrophe of the 15th century BC - and since the peaks of declination have been well identified with the Sun, Moon and stars on uniformitarian assumptions (retrojecting mathematically the modern celestial order into the past) it is clear that the megaliths pose a problem for the concept of a catastrophic cosmology. The whole phenomenon of the standing stone observatories - their apparent relatively sudden appearance in large numbers in the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze periods at about the same time that Stonehenge was converted to a stone temple and the great Wiltshire ceremonial centres like Durrington Walls were built - has never been satisfactorily explained. A disturbance in the celestial order ...
389. The Father of the Gods? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... speech. But the Egyptian Atum (presumed pre-Flood Saturn) was of enormous dominating size in the sky (8 ). It may have been larger than the Earth appears when viewed from the Moon. Indeed, such figures as Ouranos, An/Anu and Atum were synonymous with heaven itself (9 ). In accounts like the Babylonian cosmological myth, the (planetary) gods of heaven are born from the destruction of an earlier figure embodying the whole of heaven, or indeed, the whole of creation. If Velikovsky's methodology is to apply to these myths, our conclusion is clear. Earth was so close to the Saturn body that it must have been in its gravitational ...
390. To Begin the World Over Again [Journals] [Aeon]
... our experiences of astronomical things by way of metaphors with particles, waves, and numbers. Our experiences with plasma require unfamiliar categories and new metaphors, new neural linkages, to make them familiar. As a first step, consider that sharks can sense magnetic fields, while platypuses can sense electric fields. If sharks and platypuses could formulate a cosmology, what concepts would it premise? Almost certainly, it would not be based on gravity. Look at the images on various space-agency sites to get an idea of how different the cosmos appears in X-ray or radio "light." As a second step, consider that the various worldwide themes of myths and ancient art have been difficult ...
