... each other would explain the constant expansion of the universe. Closing his talk, Dr Milton commented: "The most famous phrase out of NASA is, We were surprised to learn .. . ' If they would learn something of Velikovsky, they might not be so surprised." The final speaker of the day was PROFESSOR ALFRED DE GRAZIA of New York University. His presentation, The 1500 BC Catastrophe: Ten Absolutes for Testing (an advance on the six "absolutes" advertised), proposed a novel approach to the systematic testing of one of Velikovsky's major theses, and introduced (among others) the new term quantevolution. Dr de Grazia explained: "I'm doing ...

Rose This paper is a review of a column by Professor Irving Michelson (" Scientifically Speaking .. ." , subtitled "19-Year Lunar Calendar Cycle: Accurate Adjustment to 365 1/4-Day Civil Calendar", Pensee, Winter, 19741975, pages 50-52); it will also serve as an introduction to the paper by Professor Alfred de Grazia and to the paper by Professor Livio Stecchini that immediately follow in this issue of KRONOS. In his column, Professor Michelson discusses the considerable precision with which such quantities as the mean synodic month of 29.530589 days can be measured. He says that this eight-digit precision "stands as an elegant tribute to the hard sciences' at ...

... (including the atmosphere and the ocean) would then have continued their motion, and consequently have flown off with a speed of 900 miles an hour at the latitude of Egypt." (17) Payne-Gaposchkin, an astronomer, when she wrote this attack made a very stupid error and Asimov has followed her into this error. As de Grazia aptly pointed out in 1966, years before Asimov raised this criticism: "If the earth, as she says first, decelerated within six hours, the inertial push on objects on the earth's surface would be 500 times smaller than their weight. A man of 160 lbs. would experience a forward push of 5 ounces. Dr. ...

... here was that one could not readily distinguish who was a supporter, and who a relatively unprejudiced observer, at any given time. So in 1963 there would have been no reason to doubt that the American Behavioral Scientist represented people who had a "public" interest in the controversy, yet with the perspective of hindsight one now recognizes de Grazia, J uergens, and Stecchini as advocates rather than commen 233 Means of Persuasion tators or observers. The tendentious nature of the discussions in the American Behavioral Scientist and The Velikovsky Affair is illustrated by the comment of a reader that "only after The Velikovsky Affair was published.., did I learn that because this man had the ...

... From: Aeon II:6 (1991) Home | Issue Contents Cosmic Heretics Alfred de Grazia The following is excerpted from A. de Grazia's Cosmic Heretics (Princeton, 1984) with permission of the author. Royal Incest Alfred de Grazia was entering his forty-fourth year when he met a self-styled cosmic heretic, Immanuel Velikovsky, who was already sixty-seven, and for the next twenty years a wide band of life's spectrum was colored by their relationship. As with a love affair, all that happened in the beginning presaged what would happen later, stretched out on the scale of time, themes doubling back upon themselves, attractions and reservations never to be erased, continuing accumulations. ...

Elizabeth Chesley Baity and Alfred De Grazia: Archaeological Evidences Dr. Baity summarized her lengthy, synthesizing review of the literature on "Bronze Age Cultural Discontinuities" as follows: "It appears from the evidence presented... that the Eurasian and Egyptian Bronze Age site destructions and cultural discontinuities are not fully explained by the four archaeological hypotheses listed here- invasion, drought, local ...
... is useless; how we shall spend our time. Most of us do not take kindly to suggestions, no matter how well intended or even "well documented," that we change our interests- most particularly not when the advice comes from people who are less conversant than we are with what is involved. I have wondered how de Grazia, for example, would react if a physicist accused him of poor judgment in assessing theories and the value of particular books in de Grazia's own specialty of political science. Writing in the context of the Velikovsky controversy, a journalist [233] claimed that "if science becomes institutionalized . . . then the right to disagree is unbearably ...

Milton Home | Issue Contents Part Two: DESTRUCTION OF THE SOLAR BINARY CHAPTER TEN Instability of Super Uranus The first part of our narrative was given over largely to the origin and progress of Solaria Binaria up to the beginnings of a fatal instability. Almost from the beginning life burgeoned and flourished in the plenum, and subsequently on Earth and other planets. Celestial objects were not then visible from the Earth because the plenum was too dense to let light pass directly from the binary stars to the planets. Hence mankind originated its physical being almost entirely in a world where murky grey skies softened the light through a ...
90. Quantavolution of the Biosphere: Homo Sapiens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWELVE Quantavolution of the Biosphere: Homo Sapiens Subjected to the effects of an unstable star, Earth's biosphere quantavoluted by extinction and genetic realization into the present form. To be emphasized here are the recent wave of genetic realization and the advent of Homo sapiens as an observer of the history of Solaria Binaria in its last stage. Radiometric chronology and geochronometry based upon gradual stratification are incongruent with the model of Solaria Binaria. The fossil record, which is the guarantor of traditional geochronometry for the phanerozoic era, is generally acknowledged to be fragmentary, disjointed, and anomalistic (Ager, ...
91. Is Gravity Necessary? (A Response to Charles Ginenthal's Electro-Gravitic Theory) [Journals] [Aeon]
... complex celestial motions. Irregularities of consequence nevertheless remain unexplained, but few alternative causal models have been presented to explain gravitational action. Before Worlds in Collision was published, Velikovsky wrote a pamphlet discussing "Cosmos Without Gravitation," in which he considered electric and magnetic forces operating in the realm of celestial mechanics. To Velikovsky, and to de Grazia, who later followed his trail [God's Fire], the issue was clear: electrical forces of great import were unleashed when planets came together. Velikovsky was convinced by the overwhelming might of the records that he examined: planet-induced cataclysms must have occurred in historical times. For this to be true, gravitation could not be so impotently ...

... , represent almost any European nationality. And the head presented on pp. 86 and 87, which he characterises as "quite Semitic looking," looks more to me like that of a chimpanzee ! Typographical errors are so rare in Unexpected Faces that it is somewhat startling to find the names of the three authors James Bailey, Alfred De Grazia, and George Kubler consistently misspelled in it as Bealy, ' Grazia, ' and Kuebler, ' respectively. Van Sertima's book presents, among other interesting data, challenging evidence that there were substantial Black African minorities not only in ancient Egypt, where Negroes comprised up to 20% of the population, but also in pre-Columbian Meso-America, ...

The Velikovsky Affair appeared in 1966, which contained, in addition to the main body of the work, an appendix devoted to this topic alone, "Additional Examples of Correct Prognosis," by Alfred de Grazia, and Pensée began publishing in 1971. This means that, had Asimov wished to do even a minimum amount of research on this topic, all of this material was available to him. There is no indication, however, that he read any of it, which is what allows him, after discussing just one of Velikovsky's successful ...
