327. Thoth Vol V, No 10: August 31, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... serious observational problems with the Standard Solar model. There can be no confirmation of oscillation of neutrino flavours between the Sun and the Earth without simultaneous neutrino measurements being made near the Sun. And that poses formidable experimental problems. On the other hand, the Electric Universe proposes an electrical model for stars, based on the pioneering work of Ralph Juergens. It argues that Eddington's model, which treated the Sun as a ball of neutral gas, is wrong. The large difference in the weight of the proton, 1836 times heavier than the electron, ensures that in the Sun's strong gravity hydrogen atoms will form weak electric dipoles with their positive poles aimed at the Sun's center. ( ...
328. Cosmic Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... The Earth, together with the life it supports, is not a closed self-developing system but constitutes an integral part of the cosmos."[28] Notes (Chapter One: Cosmic Instability) 1.

329. Untitled [Books]
... , but then Oberon anoints Demetrius with the magic juice, saying of Helena When his love he doth espy, Let her shine as gloriously As the Venus of the sky. 105-107. If Oberon is Zeus-Jupiter, then perhaps the application of the love juice represents an electrical planetary interchange which begins a new phase in the celestial events. Ralph Juergens, one of the editors of Pensée, has argued that the changes and movements which the Velikovsky scenarios require do not refute conventional theories of celestial dynamics, but could have been accomplished by the action of celestial forces, particularly the clash of magnetospheres and electrostatic attraction and repulsion [21]. Velikovsky refers to such events in Worlds in ...
330. The AAAS Affair: from Twenty Years After [Books]
... that piece provides a sample of The Sins of the Sons. * * * Storer is quite out of it. He is able to sit on a rigged panel without even noticing that the panel is rigged! Storer can't even figure out what he's reading; thus he refers to things said by "de Grazia," but he means Juergens! When Storer thinks that the whole world is watching, he flaunts his "determined, dogged neutrality." But when he thinks that no one will know about it, he says that Velikovsky is "quite out of his tree"! * * * A Sagan cannot afford to cheat (at least not too much) in ...
331. SIS Silver Jubilee Conference: Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... two books, one challenging astronomy, and the other geology, how could science have got it so wrong. At that time I hadn't realised that history (mythology) was the third prong of his attack. This just couldn't be right. But I felt that I had to find out. With the advent of Pensée, with Ralph Juergens showing that an electric universe is practical and with all our many other publications since there is less doubt. With Wal Thornhill's' The Electric Universe, with Ralph Sansbury's theories, and Halton Arp's researches time is now on our side. I must confess to being an admirer of the late Harlow Shapley, the Professor of Astronomy at Harvard ...
332. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... , remains a dogma of astrophysics even though it apparently lacks sufficient evidence (and this book describes why it remains so). The treatment given to plasma research sounds somewhat similar to the treatment given to the theory of a youthful planet Venus (to say nothing concerning the current research regarding Saturn in its polar configuration). Did not Ralph Juergens, years ago, broach the subject of plasma and stellar energy? This book's bibliography, however, does not include any authors that I could recognize from Pensée, KRONOS, or AEON. There are many other authors addressing the myths surrounding the origins of our current religions. A number have been researching the connection between the Dead Sea ...
333. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... note to the end of Mr Martin Sieff's article "Father of the Gods" (SIS Workshop 3:2 ). At that time I did not have the benefit of results from the Voyager missions. There seemed to me then, as now, a considerable difference in the structure and nature of the Sun and the Gas Giants. Juergens' radical concept of the Sun was consistent with its "bloated" envelope, its granular photosphere, and its temperature gradient which falls steeply the deeper into the Sun you go. Our knowledge then, in 1980, of the structure and thermal gradients of Jupiter and Saturn showed quite a different set-up. Jupiter and Saturn were known to ...
334. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... was hardly the case when Velikovsky's ideas came under consideration; and those in the audience previously unfamiliar with the behind-the-scenes pressure, the sackings, the mispresentations, the "Menzel-Bailey episode" and all the other unlikely but well-documented events of the 50's may well have been forgiven some initial incredulity. Here Dr Meynell quoted the statement by Ralph E. Juergens in The Velikovsky Affair: "Even if Velikovsky's book were, as one astronomer put it, the most amazing example of a shattering of accepted concepts on record', the violence of the reaction against it seemed out of all proportion if, as most critics insisted, the work was spurious and entirely devoid of merit." After ...
335. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... The meeting will commence at 2.30 p.m . and the subject of Dr Milton's talk will be "Physics, Astronomy and Chronology". Members who attended the meeting at ULU in April 1980 will remember with pleasure the entertaining and instructive talk he delivered in his tribute to Dr C.E .R . Bruce and Ralph Juergens. He has since then been working on a new book as joint author with Prof. Alfred de Grazia. We apologise for the very short notice we have been able to provide for this meeting but trust that members will appreciate the problem. The address of the Library Association is: 7 Ridgmount Street W.C .1 . ...
... , among others, is a crank. How can one be so sure, when others — equally respectable in accomplishments and intellect — are not sure? Velikovsky has been taken seriously by Alfred de Grazia, a professor of political science with a respectable reputation in his field; by C. J. Ransom, a physicist; by Ralph Juergens, an engineer. He was befriended by Harry Hess, one of America's foremost geologists; by literary critics, humanists, social scientists. Who is qualified to make the judgment? To say, not "I think Velikovsky's ideas are not valid" but, with the implication of objectivity, "Velikovsky is a crank"? In ...
337. Sagan's second problem: Repeated collisions among the Earth, Venus and Mars (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... ." Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, Comet, (NY 1986) pp. 95-96. 30 thousand, 10 million, 30 million Before dealing with this problem in its printed form in Scientists Confront Velikovsky and Broca's Brain, it seems proper to relate the process by which Sagan derived the figures of his proof. Ralph. E. Juergens informs us, "In arguing at San Francisco that probabilities make Velikovsky's near collision hypothesis untenable, Sagan neither stated his assumptions nor provided copies of his calculations for evaluation. Obviously, however, whatever calculations he had performed up to that time had given diverse (different probability) results, as indicated by handwritten changes in the transcript of ...
338. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Zysman had obtained the use of several rooms on the campus of the University which made it convenient for everyone to meet and discuss events. He also produced a volume of source materials with the title Catastrophism 2000', edited by himself and Clark Whelton, with contributions from David Birkan, Victor Clube, Richard Grieve, Gunnar Heinsohn, Ralph Juergens, Benny Peiser, Roger Wescott, as well as the editors. Some of the articles were reprints from Pensee and some non-catastrophist publications, some are more or less the same as the lectures detailed below, and some were specially produced for this publication. Copies will be obtainable from the SIS Book Service which will be able to supply ...
339. Aphrodite The Moon or Venus? (Continued) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Grazia DR ALFRED DE GRAZIA is Professor of Social Theory at New York University, and heads the research project into Revolutionary Primevalogy. If Peter James is correct in identifying Aphrodite with the planet Venus, eschewing her identification with the Moon, orthodox classicists will be pleased, and, as he says, Immanuel Velikovsky will be wrong, and Ralph Juergens will be wrong. Furthermore, I shall be wronger than anybody, for I have circulated a book in fugitive form now for three years that is based upon the thesis that Aphrodite is very much Moon. Not only that, but also that Moon and planet Mars are the specific subjects of the opera-ballet "bedroom comedy" sung of ...

... , of course, but substantially. Or if the ionisation of the air were to be changed continuously, as would occur by a transformation of the charged condition of the Earth, and there, in the electric charge of the Earth, we have a very possible alteration over time which unfortunately is very difficult to pin down, but as Juergens once pointed out, we can live in a very highly charged atmosphere without appreciating the fact. If at certain times or continuously over a long time the Earth were to have suffered a great loss of charge to a passing body or to the Sun, or vice versa, had acquired a charge, picked up a charge from a ...
341. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... The first three whom I mentioned, their opinions were printed on the jacket by Macmillan. So anybody who approaches the book, and reading what was stated there, was already made aware [of] the opinion of those who read the book. Those who have not read the book attacked the book. As somebody recently wrote- actually Juergens, Associate Editor of Pensee- that closed mind discussed unopened book. [laughter] And it's remained unopened. And those who discussed it were quoted by next one, the next one by next one, and so a certain attitude in scientific community was created toward me and my work which was not justified by the book. I ...

... produce such a crater. A crater produced by the shock from an explosion resembles one produced by material impacting at high energy, both exhibiting phase transitions that produce high density crystals from the resident minerals. Glasses produced by heat also are common in both settings. Craters satisfying Beals and Halliday's criteria result when great electrical discharges reach the surface (Juergens, 1974;1974/75). Figure 24. Possible Astroblemes in Arizona. A section of an official relief map showing a portion of Arizona at a scale of 1:2 000 000. The rectangle encloses the land between 110 and 112 West longitude and 33 and 35 North latitude. The city of Phoenix is located on ...
343. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Minor, was preceded and accompanied by gaseous blasts and water. Badly out of electrical equilibrium, both because of the electrical cataclysm which ravished Super Uranus and because the ejects now followed orbits taking them into regions of greatly different space - charge, a vast, brightly glowing space-charge sheath surrounded Uranus Minor as it hurtled towards the Earth (see Juergens, 1972, p12, for a discussion of these sheaths). At the time of the eruption the Earth is revolving around the arc, moving counter-clockwise (viewed from Super Uranus). The globe is oriented with Africa (the old north) facing the explosion; the magnetic poles lie on the rotational equator, Greenland leading and ...

... the observed filamentary magnetic field in the penumbra. The Martian dust devils, too, are tornadoes that dwarf their earthly counterpart. Clouds are not required to generate them. They are an atmospheric electric discharge phenomenon. WHY IS THE SUN COVERED IN BRIGHT "GRANULES"? In his seminal papers of the 1970's on the Electric Sun, Ralph Juergens noted the possible identity of solar granules with something that the pioneering plasma physicist, Irving Langmuir, termed "anode tufts." Anode tufts are small, bright, secondary plasmas that form above an anode that is otherwise too small to handle the current flow into it. In his experiments, Langmuir reported the tufts as small bright spheres ...
... "giant leaps, from the proven to the provable to the probable," the college president, John Howard, introduced Velikovsky to the assembled scholars. More than fifty "invited scholars" and some 200 observers participated, but (aside from John Dyer of NASA Ames) all of the featured speakers were Velikovskian activists (Velikovsky himself, Juergens, Ransom, Burgstahler, Euan MacKie, Lewis M. Greenberg, Lynn E. Rose, William Mullen, George Grinnell) or pro-Velikovskian commentators such as sociologist Sidney Willhelm. (6 ) A celebration of recent successes and future possibilities, the session was perhaps marred by Burgstahler's (7 ) and MacKie's (8 ) questioning of part ...
346. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... forward for this: an iron moon of 5 to 6 miles diameter (and therefore too small to have been spotted by Voyager's cameras) acting as a cosmic dynamo. When this ad hoc hypothesis is finally laid to rest scientists might do well to rethink their ideas of the Solar System along the lines of Bruce, Velikovsky, Alfven and Juergens - a system which is electrically dynamic. "This Wayward Genius"source: The Unexplained Nos.60, pp. 1181-5, 61, pp. 1218-20; 62, pp. 1226-9 In a series of three articles Colin Wilson "examines the amazing theories put forward by Immanuel Velikovsky in the 1940's". The popular style in ...
... among others. Ve]ikovsky, of course, believed that the vindicated claims were support for his work in general-"I have insisted in my published works, in my lectures, and in my letters that these physical conditions [referred to in the Bargmann-Motz letter] are directly deducible from my theory" [433]. According to Juergens [172], "Seldom in the history of science have so many diverse anticipations- the natural fallout froni a single central idea- been so quickly substantiated by independent investigation. . . . Prof. H. H. Hess... Chairman of the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Science . . . wrote ...
348. The Devil's Advocate [Books] [de Grazia books]
... electrical current pulsing between Sun and Super-Uranus diminished so much that the latter big body began to fission and the small planets and magnetic tube began to spiral in towards the central axis or arc of fire. Why should it happen so fast considering that it was running for- what?- a billion or 5 billion years before? As for Juergens' theory that the Sun is a dispatcher of charge obtained from galactic sources, you must know that he and you are about the only people who believe it (I hadn't ever heard of it before you used it). Here, as in so many places in the book, I felt that you were asking for more than ...
349. Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, by James E. Strickling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... group of academics had attempted to suppress publication of Worlds in Collision, led to an upswell of support for Velikovsky amongst the young. This was further fuelled when predictions made in Worlds in Collision, e.g . that Jupiter would be found to emit radio signals, turned out to be correct. Strickling quotes, with approval, Ralph Juergens writing in 1963, Seldom in the history of science have so many diverse anticipations - the natural fallout from a single central idea - been so quickly substantiated by investigations'. Thoughts of intellectual and social revolutions were undoubtedly in the air. Bob Dylan was singing, The order is rapidly fadin', And the first one now will ...
350. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... when all is finally told, "the Velikovskian scenario and Newtonian mechanics- even rigid-body mechanics with tidal friction forces- are really irreconcilable".(47) Thus Bass was forced to appeal to "the possible presence of electrostatic forces" as originally suggested by Velikovsky. Even so, Bass was not relying on the quantitative arguments of Ralph Juergens and Irving Michelson- so that Ellenberger's criticism of these models(48) need not, for the moment, bother us- but on Melvin Cook's theory of electrostatic gravity .( 49) Cook's theory(50) has not received the attention it deserves. If Bass is correct, this theory predicts that "if planets approached closely ...
