... expeditions, new photographs, and new checking. An unequivocal result was eluding the scientific world. The present expedition to Africa will not supply it either. According to the General Theory of Relativity a beam of light from a fixed star is deflected slightly from its rectilinear path when passing near a massive body. The massive body, suggested by Einstein, is the sun. Jupiter's mass, a thousand times smaller than the solar mass, would produce a deflection too small for precise measurement. During a total solar eclipse the star light is visible. Photographs are made of the eclipsed sun together with the optically nearby stars. Then the photographs are compared with the relative position of the ...

... and its moons we have a system not unlike the solar family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the sun and the stars." (Earth in Upheaval, Supplement: "Recent Finds in Astronomy".) In correspondence with Albert Einstein, Velikovsky (June 1954) repeated his view that Jupiter is not an inert gravitational body, and that it would be found to emit radio noises of electromagnetic (non-thermal) origin; and he offered to stake their debate on the role of electromagnetism in the mechanics of the solar system on this claim. (See Velikovsky's "On ...

... i .e . the Arabs), Ibn al-Haytham (what nationality did you think he was, Mr. McIlmoyle?), Bacon, Thomas Aquinas, Nicholas of Cusa, Copernicus, Thomas Digges, Giordiano Bruno,Tycho Brahe, Joseph Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Laplace, Darwin, Descartes, Edgar Allen Poe, Boltzmann, Einstein and even the fiction and non-fiction of Fred Hoyle. For anyone wanting a quick run through about these world movers and shakers', this is compelling stuff. As well as outlining their contributions to science and the cosmological debate, Lerner draws out very well the problems which revisionists in any area face in trying to change the perceptions of ...
74. Stargazers & Gravediggers by Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... still incomplete manuscript might receive speedy publication. Had he followed his original intention to leave, it is now clear that he would have been trapped by World War II. The delay proved fortuitous. It redirected his whole life, that of his family and countless others; perhaps the reverberations have only just begun. [* According to Albert Einstein: "There is no logical way to the discovery of the elementary laws of nature. There is only the way of intuition" (see Gerald Holton's study [ 1969 ] in the American Journal of Physics) . The above was cited by Leo Rosten in The Power of Positive Nonsense (N .Y ., 1977), ...

His prophetic spirit was an intellectual one, not one which claimed divine revelation as its source. In the early days of his research, and long after his name became associated with quackery and crankism ...

77. Velikovsky in America [Journals] [Aeon]
... months were uneventful enough, although Velikovsky kept busy with his research and, at least marginally, his other projects. Velikovsky always knew how to make influential contacts. Getting off the Mauritania, he was greeted by the son-in-law of the great American anthropologist Franz Boas. Velikovsky soon persuaded Boas and then Enrico Fermi (and in 1940, Albert Einstein) to agree to participate in the foundation of his still-planned Jerusalem Academy. He quickly renewed his acquaintance with old psychoanalytic friends Walter Federn (the self-designated heir of Freud, the only member of the old guard to remain in Vienna long enough to see the aged master depart for safety in England) and Emil Gutheil, the closest collaborator ...

... permanence of his existence on his illusions about the stability of his past. The central irony is that it is this very illusion on which Darwin based his belief in "a secure future of great length" that threatens to ensure our future will neither be secure nor long. Despite the interest and efforts of several prominent scientists, such as Einstein and Dr H. H. Hess, and despite the activities of, inter alia, the British Society for Interdisciplinary Studies and the American journal Kronos comparatively little has been done to subject Velikovsky's works to unbiassed scrutiny. In the light of this absorbing, stimulating and readable book, such examination is long overdue. - Ralph Amelan Reprinted ...
... Persia, Peru, Rome, Siberia, Tibet, West Africa. More than ten years of research had gone into the book [217, 218], and its conclusions were unique, revolutionary, extraordinary- contradicting prevailing views in evolution, history, and physical Science, and arriving at ideas about gravitation just put forward also by Albert Einstein [27 i]. Velikovsky's work was comparable to the efforts of Darwin and Jeans [284] and provided support for true believers in the Old Testament [271, 284]. Since Velikovsky's views ran counter to such established ones as those of Darwin on evolution and of Newton on celestial mechanics, they were bound to be controversial ...
