... why some orbits are more elliptical than others, why some rotations are faster than others why some celestial bodies cluster together and some do not, and a host of other familiar and less familiar phenomena. Milton presents an interesting challenge to Ginenthal based on the former's reluctance to accept the need for gravity, a conclusion stemming from the days of Juergens, Bruce etc., not to mention Velikovsky. It appears that in spite of Ginenthal's explanation for the unanticipated advance of Mercury in its orbit according to Newtonian principles, Milton prefers the conventional Einsteinian relativistic interpretation of curved space. Hall conducts a most useful and comprehensive survey of Solar System Studies' in the first issue and in the ...

... under the heading Astronomy' implying that C. E. R. Bruce was reluctant to accept the need for gravity'. This is quite wrong. Bruce claimed that in some circumstances in astronomy electromagnetic forces are more important than gravity. He did not get involved in any ideas concerning the cause of gravity, especially such as those of Juergens and Earl Milton. The Ellenberger-Salkeld exchange has the qualities of a historic document and seems to have knocked quite a few large bricks from Leroy's pedestal, but I don't suppose he will tumble over just yet. I look forward to the next instalment, especially if Leroy is able to explain away the Babylonian observations of Venus. Eric W ...
353. Still Facing Many Problems [Journals] [Kronos]
... Robert W. Bass suggested that "wild motions" might allow the orbital changes described in Worlds in Collision. In April 1978, Bass addressed a conference in Glasgow on "The Celestial Dynamics of Worlds in Collision' ", an exposition which was substantially repeated in 1980 at KRONOS' San Jose Seminar (with an apology for having misstated Juergens' model in 1978). Despite the promise of unlocking the secrets of how Worlds in Collision might have happened, several items have become apparent which lessen the impact of Bass' presentation. One of the most important items for Velikovskian studies concerns the applicability of wild motions to the resolution of the energy disposal problem in the sequence of ...

... field about the axis between the two stars. The effect of the magnetic field was to squeeze all material flow into a thin tube joining the stars. So constrained, the charged matter flow constituted a potent electric discharge, the arc, through the gases and matter of the plenum. From the solar wind protons moving past the Earth, Juergens (1977c, p28) has calculated the current flowing away from the Sun in a sheet localized close to the ecliptic plane. If this same ion current was once flowing through the electrical channel, then the magnetic field generated was several thousand gauss in strength. Such a field would adequately constrain most of the gases producing a gaseous column ...

... through thesis II to astronomy and the earth sciences, and through thesis III to humanistic disciplines, a distinctive new orientation." We now see almost weekly fresh proofs of the accuracy of that prediction. Though Stove's paper was not reprinted in an SIS journal, one Review article [4 ] quoted a fitting excerpt' from a paper by Juergens as follows: "Stove attributes the violent reaction to Worlds in Collision among astronomers to Velikovsky's forceful reminder that astronomy is not a theoretical science, but a branch of natural history.... The uneventfulness of the history of the solar system is an assumption on which astronomers have placed a tacit reliance by no means ever deserved. ...

... and, due to the polarisation induced between two charged bodies, the charge would be largely concentrated on the surface of the bulging land mass upon which life was centred. A description of the effects and manifestations is described by Ziegler. Writers such as Immanuel Velikovsky, Hugh Auchincloss Brown, C. E. R. Bruce, and Ralph Juergens have all ventured to suggest that the cosmos is electromagnetically ordered, not gravitationally, and that gravity is, in effect, only a function of electrical charges. - We postulate that as a result, the effect of gravity would have been considerably reduced on the Earth's charged land mass bulge. Evidence: Palaeomagnetic, fossil and geological evidence ...

... when photographed more closely, will be circular also. All 3 craters have central peaks. In the recent west coast workshops I showed a dramatic slide of Phobos' crater, named Stickney. Prominent along the surface of Phobos were near parallel grooves apparently streaming away from Stickney and in the floors of the grooves were small circular craters. As Juergens noted a quarter of a century ago, and I have elaborated on since, the cratered grooves are a result of electrical discharges streaming across the surface toward the main crater, which is the focus of a plasma discharge from a planetary body. The circular crater with a central peak is characteristic of an impinging, rotating electric arc. ...

... than had been evident with our historians. Wal Thornhill proved no exception in his consideration of the planet Venus after a study of the images received from the Magellan orbiter. Velikovsky's predictions of a very high temperature and a massive atmosphere, indications of a young planet, had been amply confirmed. The planet's magnetosphere also indicated a comet tail. Juergens' consideration of the surface of the Moon and Mars indicated that the Moon bore electrical scars. A recent outburst of Halley's comet at the time of a solar flare similarly indicated the electrical nature of the universe. The planets lie within the Sun's plasma sheath but Venus would appear to be still charged with respect to the Solar System, ...

... his study to V. who ignored it, but Deg began to develop it in a number of ways. This was not uncommon; V. s closest associates moved in their own way; Sizemore was aware of a world of marginal sciences that he would not discuss with V.; so Stephanos, as will be seen; so Juergens who moved toward it, because of V., first to be near him, then to be away from him; so Bill Mullen; and the British heretics, so devoted yet so independent of thought. Ziegler found many associations of ancient religion with electrical practices, and persuasively in his YHWH informs us of what interested so persistently ...

... might fit, it has been postulated that all these land masses were once joined, but later split and drifted slowly apart. Coal is found in Antarctic regions where one would be hard pressed to encounter a forest today. According to plate tectonics, however, coal is supposedly transported to unusual places, by a slow, uniformitarian process. Juergens noted that the reasoning behind plate tectonics is an inversion of uniformitarian thinking. Traditionally, geologists have inferred long-term effects from observable, presently operating causes. Plate tectonics, however, seeks to explain presumedly observable long-term effects by inferring the present existence of unobservable processes. Plate theory is related to the Velikovsky discussion in two ways. First, ...

... devise some satisfactory expulsion mechanism; and secondly he must be able to account for the substantial difference between Venus' and Jupiter's compositions.* The difficulties are formidable. [* Readers are referred to the article "The Bulk Chemistries' of Venus and Jupiter" ' in KRONOS II.1 , pp. 11-15, where Ralph E. Juergens grapples with this problem. -Ed. The situation is reminiscent of the attempts by astronomers in the last century to devise theories of the origin of the solar system which depended on planets condensing out of material thrown or torn out of the sun. Nowadays such theories have largely gone out of fashion in favour of "nebular" theories ...

... SISR III:2 ), the Editor challenges my loyalty to the "multiple hypothesis" strategy. Contrary to his implication, however, not every idea conceived in the name of hypothesis deserves the same respect or attention. Quite simply, Keister and Hamilton fail to make a compelling case for their alternative. Besides having ignored relevant work by Juergens and Crew, as previously noted, the authors erroneously dismissed the relevance of Lyttleton-type fissioning to Jupiter. As they note, Lyttleton dealt with fluid bodies of uniform density, i.e ., liquid bodies. However, the authors believe Jupiter to be "composed of compressible material and .. . not uniformly dense", thus ...

... to know of a combination of forces that can be unquestionably invoked. For example: I, and others, have suggested that the bodies involved were electrically charged sufficiently to balance gravitational attraction at close range. Arguments presented to counter this proposition have invoked charge-to-mass ratio limits and formation of space charge sheaths shielding the planets from each other. Ralph Juergens dealt with space charge sheaths in Pensee (Fall 1972) where he discussed the formation of a space charge sheath around an electrically charged planet immersed in a plasma, the disappearance of a sheath where the electrical potential is not continually renewed and the potential for violent interaction between two charged planets in a close encounter where the bodies are not ...

... Venus had a tail which resembled a lady's dress, and which was subsequently lost in the course of excursions into the underworld, there would be support for the hypothesis that Venus originated as a comet coming in from outer space and becoming entrapped in the solar system. Further support for this hypothesis lies in the claim, principally due to Ralph Juergens (Pensee IVR 2, Fall, 1972, pp. 6-12), that a body ejected from Jupiter would be unlikely to develop a sufficient tail to be classified as a comet. Could it have been that, in the course of its entrapment, there was an early clash between Venus and Jupiter, which could have been seen ...

... start nagging Jan Sammer and the Velikovsky estate to get the book published in some form or other, whether for general consumption or just for the eyes only of the Society I don't care. We've been supporting Velikovsky for many years and I think it's the least we can do. I suggest that somebody ought to get in touch with Ralph Juergens' widow to get his combined works published. He might not have got it all right in the first place but he had a damned good shot at it and made a lot of very pertinent points. We should see if we can persuade her either to let us have the rights to republish some of his work (I know ...

... had had. The upshot was that his Velikovskian organization in Europe disbanded to avoid being associated with him. Livio Catullus Stecchini, Velikovsky's first disciple, died on September 28, 1979. He was working on treatises concerning ancient measuring systems, pyramids, and the Gospels being modeled on a lost play by Seneca. His close Velikovskian comrade-in-arms Ralph Juergens died in Flagstaff in early November, 1979. He was still working on his Velikovsky-inspired concept of an electrical universe. Immanuel Velikovsky was working diligently on his myriad manuscripts, thinking about doing a new article for Harper's, discussing offers for a film version of Worlds in Collision, then in its seventy-fourth English-language printing. On November 11 he ...

... the Sun, Venus evidently lit up and began discharging. Only in the Polar Configuration would the various images David Talbott showed (the three streams, four streams, the peacock tail, the fan, etc), have appeared. Dwardu Cardona said the idea of the Saturnian System as an interloper in the Solar System was published by Ralph Juergens. Moira Timms asked when the panel thought this occurred. David Talbott said Velikovsky realised he had opened a can of worms and was reluctant to talk about it. Information on dating Saturnian events can be found in Egyptian hieroglyphs and the Sumerian. Ev Cochrane pointed out that Palaeolithic rock art in France depicts extinct animals, not Saturnian images ...

... easy on Earth to generate x-rays using electric discharges, but astronomers insist on Nature doing it the hard way in space. It is also not generally known that electrical discharges are very efficient at removing material against gravity and dumping it into space or onto another nearby object. STARS - We do not understand what makes them tick. As Ralph Juergens said in the 70's, practically every feature of our Sun has no business being there if it is purely a thermonuclear engine radiating into space. Magnetic fields do not occur without an associated electric current. The Sun is essentially an extended, conducting plasma subject to electric stress. The phenomenon we call the Sun is purely a ball of ...

... which summarizes the main findings (especially the main NOVEL findings in comparison to PEM) of his new book. I have the impression that Cook would send a free copy of the paper to anyone who writes & requests it. I believe that his material on solar nuclides would interest plasma cosmologists such as Wal Thornhill. Like the late Ralph Juergens, who had an isothermal model of the Sun, Cook does not believe in the conventional fusion-energy explanation of the Sun's energy, and he provides evidence that all of the Sun's energy can be explained" by the observed rate of matter falling into the Sun (i .e . rate of accretion). Cook has chapters on ALL ...

... Venus: firstly, a continuous glow of St. Elmo's fire at high points on the surface with rapid, low energy lightning, rather like that on Earth, and secondly, high energy superbolts which fire from the upper atmosphere - as detected by the Galileo spacecraft. Another argument for expecting lightning on Venus comes from the idea proposed by Juergens. He identified cometary tails with objects which are under enhanced electrical stress from the solar plasma due to the radial component of their movement toward or away from the Sun. THE COMET-LIKE PLASMA TAIL OF VENUS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE PLANET HAS NOT YET ACHIEVED ELECTRICAL EQUILIBRIUM AFTER A RECENT COMETARY HISTORY. That being so, lightning of considerable violence ...

... atoms (from the water) to sulphur. Elemental sulphur takes many colours ranging from yellow through red to black (look at Io's surface) and could account for the reddish colouration of the ejected material. Alternatively, and I think less likely, the coloured material may be exogenous and implanted by the discharge itself (as described by Ralph Juergens). Of course, when we finish discussing Europa, we have the linear features on Ganymede and Callisto to explain- not to mention the moons of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus.- PUTTING A NEW FACE ON PREHISTORY Skeletons Suggest Caucasoid Early Americans By Boyce Rensberger Washington Post Staff Writer Skeletons unearthed in several western states and as far east ...

... at the World Conference in January as a good example of the naive view that scientists have of the Earth's environment. The report is attached. The current dogma is that the Earth's magnetosphere is created by the Earth's intrinsic magnetic field and traps plasma to form a buffer against the buffeting of the solar wind. However, I believe that Ralph Juergens, Earl Milton and others are correct when they attribute electric charge to the planets and the Sun. With this single, simple assumption, backed up by myriad observations, the Earth's magnetosphere is plainly a PLASMASPHERE, which is formed to shield a charged body from the surrounding plasma. The Earth's magnetic field is then an effect of the ...

... preferentially on the rims of earlier crater walls might also explain the overlapping domes, where the centre of one dome often coincides fairly closely with a point on the circumference of another. In other words, it seems possible that some of the many variations of electric arc behaviour at an anode seen in the laboratory may explain these enigmatic objects. Juergens points out that such raised mounds may be planetary equivalents of "fulgamites" which are mounds of metal, melted and raised above the surface of metal caps placed over the ends of lightning rods. The sides of fulgamites are usually ridged with closely spaced concentric grooves and the bases flared like a bell." Wal Thornhill- THE WORD ...

... . So, yes, I am suggesting that the sun is a different size than that suggested by the photosphere." The following undated news item supports my argument and, if confirmed, throws yet another huge spanner in the works of the standard solar model. One of the key characteristics of an electric star, first noted by Ralph Juergens in relation to red giants, is that its apparent size is determined by its electrical environment. In fact, it was Ralph who identified the granulation seen in the solar photosphere as "anode tufting". Anode tufting occurs ABOVE an anode surface to effectively increase the surface area of the anode to meet the imposed current load. In ...
