... suits the "unsafe century" of the Mars catastrophes. [* NB - Velikovsky's tentative suggestion that the "flood [i .e . river] of Egypt" of Amos 8:8 may refer to the deluge of Osorkon's time is based on a misunderstanding of the word "flood": see M. Sieff: "The Cosmology of Job", SISR I:4 , note 44 on p.32.] Now, Velikovsky has not yet offered tentative dates for any of the rulers of the Libyan period, except for Shoshenk I, whom he associates with So, the pharaoh who received messengers from Hoshea of Israel in around 725 BC (in A ...
392. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... GROUP There was a meeting of the Ancient History Study group on January 18th at Mrs Morgan's residence in Dulwich. John Knightsbridge entertained all present by an interesting account of his recent visit to the pyramids. This sparked off a lively discussion on ancient Egyptian history in general and the pyramids in particular, bearing in mind Velikovsky's chronological reconstruction and catastrophic cosmology. In addition, as is usual at these meetings if there is time, members also discussed the latest news or snippets of information on the "catastrophism front". The meeting of the Group at the home of David Roth is being held as this issue of WORKSHOP is going to press, and a report will be carried in ...

... the Sun from Skylab have shown a connection between coronal activity and the magnetic fields in the photosphere. What price an electromagnetic Universe next? - NEW SCIENTIST 30/4 /81, p. 284 Variations in G This article by V. M. Canuto, titled "The Earth's radius and the G variation", discusses theories of cosmology in which the gravitational constant G might vary. It is usually thought that a larger G in the past must be associated with a smaller Earth radius; Canuto, however, argues that a larger G in the past implies a larger Earth radius. The converse of this prediction is worth thinking about, namely a smaller G being compatible ...
394. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the Quiche-Maya, recorded in the Popol Vuh, the first ballgame was played between cosmic gods and divine children, the latter of which victoriously turned into sun and moon. The iconography of ancient ballcourts together with the images of cosmic deities and the costumes and gestures of the ballplayers, documented in various codices, are equally related to Mesoamerican cosmologies [4 ]. Despite this unambiguous evidence, both historians and anthropologists alike have been unable to uncover the hidden meaning, religious function and cosmic symbolism of the Mesoamerican ballgame. Whereas most scholars agree that the game re-enacted some kind of cosmic conflict, their scenarios and interpretations differ considerably [5 ]. According to one school of thought ...
395. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from beginning to end, while the clear indications of the vast natural disasters that accompanied the Exodus have been ignored. Velikovsky's adherence to the Biblical date for the Exodus, c. 1450 BC, and his understanding of the magnitude of the events surrounding it, were the starting points of both his chronological revision in Ages in Chaos and his cosmological history in Worlds in Collision. Acceptance of Velikovsky's very strong case regarding the date and importance of the Exodus still faces the obstacle of conventional scholarship's almost unanimous adherence to the 13th-century date for this event. Supporters of Velikovsky will therefore find Dr Bimson's volume on the Exodus and Conquest a most valuable contribution to the literature on these topics. ...
396. Relativity Corner [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the question Why should a rather obscure mathematical theorist's prediction of an obscure astronomical event generate such world-wide interest, producing a ticker-tape parade down New York's Wall Street in 1921? It is a fascinating account of the selling' of the theory. Professor Robert Bass tells [6 ] how in 1975 he surveyed all known astrophysical measurements of the Eddington-Robertson cosmological parameter gamma' and concluded that its value must be greater than one. Nature rejected his paper, yet 20 years later the latest super-accurate measurements have confirmed his finding - but the people who forced me to unjustly wait' 20 years have not apologized. They are now so sure that Einsteinian General Relativity has no valid competitors that they ...
397. The Myth of Osiris (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite, Apepi, which actually broke forth from the west several times a day, swallowing the Sun, and releasing it only after a prolonged struggle. Both Apepi and Set are regarded as lords of evil and darkness. Apepi is called the Roarer', and the behaviour of Set is boisterous and violent. Cosmologically speaking, the original Set was really the brother of Osiris and preceded him as a ruler of the world. Only the theology of a later date put him in his present place. 2 The story of the children of Seb and Nut has very remarkable parallels in the Norse and the Amerindian mythologies. The Edda tells us of the ...

... speculative elements as invisible matter and energy. Even though we don't know what dark matter and dark energy are, we've made assumptions about the way they behave and put that into our model, ' says Pryke. So measuring the polarization we expected from the model says we know what we are talking about. Had we not found it, cosmology would have been thrown into chaos. ' " AMY COMMENTS They are still playing the same old game. They make a prediction that fits better in plasma cosmology and call it their own. Then when it's found, Violé! their theory has been verified again. Polarized is certainly what's expected with magnetic fields and electric currents. Another ...
