... VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR" NOW AVAILABLE. In September, 1963, the American Behavioral Scientist devoted an entire issue to the "Velikovsky affair," containing the most complete story ever published of the reception of Velikovsky's work by the scientific community.

Of the other papers, Orbits and their Measurement by Raymond Vaughan provides some useful technical background to his work with Professor Rose on the Babylonian tablets; Alfred de Grazia examines Plato and other sources to find Ancient Knowledge of Jupiter's Bands and Saturn's Rings; Quartered at Yale is Dr Velikovsky's response, written in 1954, to criticisms of Worlds in Collision published in the American Journal of Science at that time; and the issue is completed with As Worlds Collide, a wide-ranging essay by Earl Milton, and ...

258. Aba: The Glory and the Torment; The life of Dr Immanuel Velikovsky, by Ruth Velikovsky Sharon, PhD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , if anything, as some significant figures in the Velikovskian debate are entirely missing from the account. The momentous 1963 issue of The American Behavioral Scientist devoted to Velikovsky is mentioned perfunctorily, the significant spin-off 1965 book, The Velikovsky Affair, is not mentioned at all and its author, long-time friend and advocate for Velikovsky's views, Alfred de Grazia, is completely ignored. There are many personal stories illustrating Velikovsky's role as a devoted father and husband but numerous details - particularly of medical problems suffered by family members - would have been best omitted. It was particularly sad to learn that Velikovsky's depressions were occasionally suicidal. A section entitled The Books' simply reproduces, in facsimile, ...
259. The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory [Books]
... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory Alfred de Grazia Department of Politics New York University Palaeo-anthropology has reached a stage of agitation perhaps unparalleled since the nineteenth century discoveries of palaeolithic man. Serious questions of chronology have been raised. On the one hand, it appears that hominids have been long on Earth, perhaps even five million years by certain radiodating, and have used tools for just as long a time. On the other hand, the end of the ice Age has been pushed ever nearer to the present, and with it many of the early creations of man, so that ...

... been made to reject the article. "Subsequently it was also rejected by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. In that magazine in April, 1964, an abusive article was published by a Mr. Howard Margolis, attacking Velikovsky and his work. The editor of the Bulletin, Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch, in a letter to Professor Alfred de Grazia, editor of the American Behavioral Scientist, offered Velikovsky an opportunity to reply with an article not more abusive' than that of Margolis, or, instead, to have some of his views presented in the Bulletin by some scientist of repute. Then Professor H. Hess submitted the article "Venus- A Youthful Planet," to Dr ...
261. Quantavolution and Solaria Binaria [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]

From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Quantavolution and Solaria Binaria Alfred de Grazia Princeton I am here to pay homage to an old friend already 22 years dead, Immanuel Velikovsky. His books of fifty years ago, however, are very much alive. I also see this conference as an occasion to pay my respects to Professor Emilio Spedicato, who has given a unique impetus to the quantavolution movement at the University of Bergamo and around the world. And third, I am privileged here to tell something about my own work. If you will permit me now, I would like to define the term Quantavolution. Afterwards, I ...

263. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... , may have been thought of as a fire stick, with fire produced as Bor caused the axis of the heavens to turn. This is a variant of the widespread myths of the mill, with which a deity such as Saturn ground the salt that was generally believed to have reached the earth from the sky. Vide A.de Grazia, The Lately Tortured Earth, p.139f., Metron Publications, Princeton, 1983. Apollo was said to have come from the land of the Hyperboreans, a people whose name includes the word hyper, meaning beyond, or above. A connection with fire and light begins to emerge when we remember that the first fruits of ...
264. A Rage to Deny: The Roots of the Velikovsky Affair [Books]
... dangerous because more popular. That is why it has taken an additional half century for catastrophism to begin to make an impact (pun unintended) on mainstream science, but it is happening. Huggett, for example, who is not an old-fashioned catastrophist and looks with suspicion upon adherents of things like rapid pole shifts, nevertheless dispassionately mentions de Grazia, Velikovsky and Clube and accords several pages to Warlow. He hates it that the views of the earlier catastrophists were "handed down to us in a very partial manner" (219) and insists on "the recognition of truly catastrophic processes as agents of global geological and geomorphological change," (220) processes which have to ...
265. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have become continuous within a year of formation but have shifted little during 15 years of observation. It is now thought that most rings are young, having been formed catastrophically by impacts. Saturn's rings could have formed from a shattered moon over 300km across. Faint rings so formed should disappear within a few thousand years. Solaria Binaria Alfred de Grazia reports on a recent Nature article describing a total of 16 statements about a newly discovered star (W43A). All 16 fit exactly the Solaria Binaria scenario developed 20 years ago by de Grazia and Earl Milton.

266. Ejections, Resonances, and Inversions [Journals] [Kronos]
... have ejected the planet Venus, but whether it ever did. As I have been attempting to show in "Child of Saturn", and as I will be indicating even more conclusively in forthcoming installments of this serialization, there is no valid mytho-historical record upon which to base this event. Despite its continued acceptance by people like Alfred de Grazia,(13) Peter Warlow,(14) and Ragnar Forshufvud(15) - to name but a few - this hypothesis must not only be severely questioned, it has, in my opinion, to be discarded outright. The problems inherent in the ejection of core material from Jovian planets, which Ellenberger sees as saddling Velikovskian ...
267. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology Alfred De Grazia No doubt the title of my lecture is unclear. Perhaps you are satisfied for tile moment that you understand what I mean by "the sciences and humanities," that is, all fields of knowledge like physics and history. But, in regard to the word "cosmic", three meanings occur, all of which are correct in some measure. First, as I have implied, it is cosmic in that all fields of knowledge are involved. Second, I must have reference to something of great importance, else why call it cosmic"? Third, the subject ...
268. The Molecular Revolution [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... sedimentary rocks they are usually found in. They have to be dated indirectly, relative to the nearest stratum of igneous rock, an estimate of whose age is usually obtained using the potassium/argon radiometric procedure. Although the whole basis of radiometric dating is regarded as spurious by some, such as Earl Milton [6 ] and Alfred de Grazia [7 ], who consider the dates obtained to be vast exaggerations of the real dates, they are in a small minority. That of course does not make them wrong, and the pertinent points they have made deserve much greater consideration by the orthodox community than has so far been the case. At present, however, it ...
269. Jupiter - God of Abraham (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... in that he did not reach a definite conclusion as to whether the discharge originated from Jupiter, or the much smaller Venus.(244) Martin Sieff believed the destruction was caused by Venus.(245) Brendan O'Gheoghan followed Sieff.(246) Patten, et al. blamed it all on Mars.(247) Alfred de Grazia has even implied that Mercury was the cause.(248) But before we decide which of these various hypotheses is the most probable, I would like to ask: Is cosmic intervention even implied? While some aspects of the Biblical narrative have for long been doubted, the actual destruction of the cities seems always to have been vouched ...

W. Crew, available from the author at cost (£ 1 ). 4. Alfred de Grazia and Earl R. Milton: Solaria Binaria (Metron Publications, 1984), described immense orbital changes and attempted to explain them on the basis of electromagnetic non-gravitational' dynamics.

It is true to say that without their encouragement and persistence this article would never have been published. Acknowledgement is also due to the copious works of Dwardu Cardona [60], David Talbott [61], Alfred de Grazia [62], Melvin Cook [63] and many others. Notes: 1.

... Thus he wrote: "Baal and Moloch were names for Saturn that endured in the Hebrew world until they came to stand for evil gods . . . In the endless process of transferring gods and names, the names of Saturn descended to Jupiter and then to Venus, who were also called Baal and Moloch."(87) De Grazia even followed Zvi Rix's earlier re-rendition of "malkhei-roim", which is Hebrew for "king-shepherds" and thus "Hyksos", into "Molkhei-roim" or "Moloch-shepherds".(88) This purported to show that the invasion of Egypt and the Near East by the dreaded Hyksos was the work of a nation which identified itself, ...

... enable floaters to propel themselves so far along the axis as to reach a point of no return. Widespread traditions of the ascension or translation of spiritually elevated individuals from Earth to a celestial realm above suggest that it was not an unknown occurrence. To make it credible, however, we would have to accept the view, advanced by de Grazia and Milton,(59) that there was pre-Holocene atmospheric continuity between Earth and the larger body at the other end of the axis.) Another puzzle of reconstructive interpretation has to do with the duration of human life in aureal times. On this question, there is an apparent contradiction between two traditions, one of which speaks of ...
