... From: Chaos and Creation, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWELVE Victory of The Sun Albert Einstein once remarked. "What is inconceivable about the Universe is that it should be at all conceivable." We have spoken of things beyond immediate belief. They seem to be miracles. But miracles are everywhere, in a true sense. Before it happens, your next sight- whatever you next see when you lift your eyes- is a miracle. Its every detail could never have been predicted. Still, surprisingly, after you see it, a full report can demonstrate that the view was no miracle: it was ordinary. That is why old ...
102. On Schools Of Thought [Journals] [SIS Review]
... addition to the "objective" considerations, there was a "political" reason for continuing the attack on him. Physical scientists were therefore entitled to reject Velikovsky's work, by the standards of judgement employed in physical science. But let us consider the relationship of their rejection to rational ideas of scientific method. In The Velikovsky Affair , de Grazia criticises the physical scientists for defending a rationalistic view of science while dismissing Velikovsky without full consideration. For example, he quotes Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin: "We who are engaged in research are not concerned in preserving the existing framework of theories. We spend our lives searching for the wherewithal to modify and supplant them. The discovery of discordant facts ...

105. Graincollection: Human's Natural Ecological Niche -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... do other primates. Morgan concurs, but holds that our ancestors sought to be both externally and internally well watered. Treviño compares the playfulness of early hominids with that of sea otters, but regards the comparison a remote analogy. For Morgan and other aquaticists, the analogy is immediate and ecologically motivated. Catastrophism, as represented by Alfred de Grazia, is the hypothesis that prehistory is punctuated by large-scale physical upheavals which resulted in extinctions, speciations and drastic redirections on human habitats and behaviour patterns.(4 ) In this view, the upheavals, which wipe out some communities and traumatise others, result in partial or total amnesia among survivors. Of the fragmentary memories that persist post ...

110. Planetary Identities: II The Mythology of Homer [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... present me with a bona fide datum to the contrary. Whatever cosmic lore the Iliad contains pertains to a much earlier time, long before the Greeks themselves were around. Thus the Iliad is a late source for cosmic catastrophism, as is the rest of Greek literature and belief. Peter James was right on track when he admonished Alfred de Grazia, years ago, not to use Greek myth as the yardstick' with which to evaluate mythological schemes and events [42]. Or have we forgotten that early lesson? How, then, can we ascertain what is valid in Greek mythology and what is not? Actually, just about everything in mythology, Greek or otherwise, ...

112. The Bonds of the Past [Journals] [Kronos]
... Middle to Late Bronze Age therefore marks the arrival of the Israelites in Canaan." Students of ancient history in general and the revised chronology in particular should find this article highly provocative and an important contribution to our understanding of Canaanite archaeological problems. The subject of "Aphrodite- The Moon or Venus?" now finds Peter James and Alfred de Grazia locked in a fascinating debate. De Grazia holds that Aphrodite is to be identified with the Moon and disputes James' earlier identification of Aphrodite with the planet Venus. Nevertheless, James resolutely denies that Aphrodite had anything to do with the Moon and stands firm on his earlier position. It is probably fairly safe to say that the last ...

(Perfect-bound hard print $12.00, $9 .00 floppy disk.) Solaria Binaria. By Alfred de Grazia and Earl R. Milton. An astronomer and astro-physicist joins De Grazia to perfect an elegantly coherent and logical theory, backed by physical, psychological, and mythological studies, of the origins and history of the solar system with Jupiter as the remnant of the Uranian binary partner of Sol, which has been circulating in fugitive form and print ...
114. Saturn's Flare-ups [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the annihilation of the dinosaurs with which the pages of Workshop have rightly been concerned these many past issues. It is heartening to see that Eggleton has discarded the notion that the planet Jupiter was ejected from Saturn, a supposition that was accepted by Tresman and O'Gheoghan,(17) and one that is still unfortunately adhered to by Alfred de Grazia.(18) Here it would be apt to repeat the warning I voiced at San Jose: Let us not be deceived into believing that when a deity is described as having been born of another, the actual ejection of one planet from another is always implied. Regardless of the celestial disorder and terrestrial upheaval that often accompanies such ...
115. Making Moonshine with Hard Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 3 (Fall 1975) Home | Issue Contents Making Moonshine with Hard Science Alfred De Grazia A comment on Irving Michelson's column "Scientifically Speaking . . ." With all due respect for Professor Michelson, I cannot understand the rationale behind Pensee's having allowed him (or anyone else for that matter) to pretend to be "Scientifically Speaking . . ." It is a usurpation of authority, and an implication that other contributors to Pensee have written unscientifically. "Science" is exhibited in a work itself or in a judgement rendered afterwards upon it; it is also a propagandistic term when employed in Professor Michelson's usage. The phrase ...
116. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SEVEN Fire and Ash "A universal conflagration' (if possible) would certainly not last long enough to leave any sort of recognizable stratigraphical record, whereas a few centuries or millennia of occasional heath or forest fires, during a particularly dry spell, would probably do so without requiring any special mechanism."[1 ] Even to speak of a universal conflagration gives a geologist cause to blush, as Derek Ager, the author of these lines, remarks in another context. Without the "special mechanism", forest fires, started by lightning, and volcanos, started by hot spots ...

... , Lethbridge University, Canada. He edited the volume Recollections of a Fallen Sky (1978), papers presented at a symposium on "Velikovsky and Cultural Amnesia" at Lethbridge University in May 1974, and is an Associate Editor of Kronos. He is currently working on a book on the history of the solar system with Professor Alfred de Grazia. Many problems are clarified and many concepts, such as "black holes", are found to be unnecessary, when we assume that electricity, rather than gravity, is the major force governing the working of the Universe. In an electrical Universe processes would happen much faster and the catastrophic events envisaged by Immanuel Velikovsky would be likely ...
118. The Foibles of Heretics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FOURTEEN The Foibles of Heretics For his first half-dozen years on Naxos, Deg stayed in a town apartment the Venetians had built in the 13th Century; then he moved out to his stone house on the isolated promontory of Stylida. In these places, much of the Quantavolution series was written. Deg's permanent encampment at Stylida was of marbled stone and primitively equipped, not a cabin, neither a villa. Antiques jostled useful junk on the marble tables and shelves. He pounded nails into the walls and from them everything dangled. Empty plastic bags were stuffed behind shelves for further use, empty bottles were ...

I almost accompanied my husband, Alfred, to what was going to be the last meeting ever he would have with Velikovsky, that was on Wednesday, November 14, Velikovsky would die on the 17, a Sabbath. It was a beautiful fall afternoon in Princeton, characteristic of the climate of the Northeast of the United States. Somewhere near the top of Harrison Street, I let Alfred go on alone, after he had asked if I wanted to come with him. He ...

... fresh look at everything. Once his evidence is considered soberly, every discipline of human knowledge is seen in a new light. It nay be hard for the layman to perceive how much will have to change if his ideas are accepted, but I assure you the consequences will be enormous and widespread. I leave it to Dr. De Grazia, in his talk tomorrow, to outline in detail just what is at stake in many areas of human belief if Velikovsky is accepted, but I can tell you that, in my own case, I am a specialist in Shakespeare and in drama generally, and certainly I have had my eyes opened in a totally different way since ...
122. Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER SIX Cosmic and Terrestrial Lightning A powerful, highly developed and mysterious people of ancient Italy, the Etruscans, believed in the strictest set of relationships between the small Earth and the great and divine Universe [1 ]. They planned their cities astronomically, as did all early peoples, but, more specifically, worshiped lightning and gave "the thunderbolting god" Jupiter to the Romans. They founded a College of Lightning Arts (ars fulminum) at Visul. When a bolt of lightning struck, the ground became at that instant hallowed; no one might disturb it until priests made a site ...
123. THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... . Individuals and groups of individuals have been splitting from both these camps; some of them, for example, seeking to show that it was Saturn rather than Jupiter that was most influential in the cosmic catastrophic drama; others are now interested in any catastrophes of any era, not only those postulated by Velikovsky in historical times. Alfred de Grazia, who probably more than anyone helped to make Velikovskianism respectable (9 ) in the 1960s, has now published a whole series of books expounding catastrophist notions that differ in marked detail from Velikovsky's; and de Grazia has also published memoirs (10) in which Velikovsky is cut down to human size (thereby making de Grazia very much ...
124. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FIVE The British Connection For many years Velikovsky's books had been popular in Britain but his supporters were out of touch. Recalling the early days. Librarian Brian Moore wrote: The popular science writers occupy an important place in the communications system which links the scientist and the public, and they have played a major role in propagating the unfavorable image of Velikovsky. Having been officially declared a heretic by the scientific Inquisition, Velikovsky has been handed over to the secular arm of the scientific popularisers for public torment. Some readers may think this an extravagant metaphor, but any objective examination of the available evidence on ...
125. The Scientific Reception System [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents 6. The Scientific Reception System by Alfred de Grazia When a scientist writes a book of his controlled experiences, a publisher ponders its audience, and a colleague weighs its value, the special order of human relations called science is in being. Their patterns of motive and behaviour emerge from and return to the larger sphere of social behaviour. They are different from, yet the same as the general social order. Perhaps then never can it be said that this could only happen in science': in a scientific sense science cannot follow laws uniquely its own. Also it would be exceedingly risky ...
