... speak of invasions of privacy. But look you where the raw materials of a developing thought-pattern are to be found. I give you an instance where the sociologist of science should be. Earl Milton was chairman of a symposium on planetary surfaces at McMaster University (Ontario) on June 17, 1974, with astronomer David Morrison, electrician Ralph Juergens and astrophysicist Derek York as speakers. Juergens assigned surface effects to recent transactions between Mars and the Moon. After the chairman called an intermission, the tape recorder was accidentally left spinning, and now a decade later we can eavesdrop upon several people, unknown to us, who spent the intermission by the speaker's table. The tape is ...

If we could control the world, you would live forever, Livio, a never-ending book for us to read, whose pages of warmth and surprise move through all ages of time to all ports of call. There we visit the gods, and the fishwives. Anchors aweigh! II RALPH JUERGENS Who are we to say but Juergens' friends who call goodbye and wish some testimony from the world he leaves and joins concurrently: Charges on the cosmic spheres should spark, the electric sun confess its theft of power, the academic hulks should shiver, astronomy and physics classes suspend. Tall sails of new bold abstraction moved quietly his ...

... .00; overscas $18.00 (airmail). Kronos, which is linked to the Center for Velikovskian and Interdisciplinary Studies at Glassboro (see SISR I:3 ), is now into its third volume. Contents of issues so far published are listed on our inside cover. In Volume III, No. 1, Ralph Juergens discusses in some detail a number of aspects of radiohalos mentioned by Roy MacKinnon (SISR I:5 ), and our own Eric Crew contributes a discussion of possible mechanisms for the ejection of planetary cores. The background to the "prediction" of Jupiter's radio noises is discussed in a new paper by Dr Velikovsky himself, whilst Professor ...
130. Notes on this issue: Pensee IVR X [Journals] [Pensee]
... Pensee, Fall, 1973). The central issues revolve around Palestinian stratigraphy, and Stiebing says his position has been misrepresented: he stands by his objections. Velikovsky, in turn (p . 26), defends his earlier criticism of those objections. In a sequel to his piece in the last issue of Pensee, Ralph E. Juergens (p . 27) presses his claim that interplanetary electric discharges explain some of the most unique lunar features- among them the gigantic crater Tycho, whose rays, extending more than half way around the Moon, have mystified scientists for decades. Incidentally, Juergens' proposal places him in a category defined (and ridiculed) by one lunar ...

Juergens and his electromagnetic model for the Solar System. .. ." Mr Sieff has written to us explaining why his hypothesis IS compatible with that of Juergens. We regret any slight caused to Mr Sieff by our note, and if space permits, we shall be printing some of his further arguments at a later date. Ed. ...
134. Thoth Vol V, No 3: Feb 28, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... no binary companion has (yet) been found, the presence of the observed plasma discharge makes one suspect it is only a matter of time. Each new discovery of a binary pair of stars, one of which is either a variable star or pulsar, at the center of a nova remnant, is one more piece of evidence that Juergens' electric star model and Thornhill's theory of the fissioning of those electric stars are both valid. Electric Star Evolution Mainstream astronomers accept and promote the notion that O type stars are young; they are thought to age due to the nuclear burning up of their Hydrogen fuel. In the ES interpretation, there is no reason to attribute youth ...

... old] red giant."258 In fact, it may well be that all main sequence stars pulsate but at such low distances radially that they cannot be detected by present instrumentation. An excellent example of a low pulsating star with a dense core and tenuous atmosphere is, in fact, a description of the Sun. Ralph E. Juergens summarizes the evidence thus: "Early in 1975 H. A. Hill of the University of Arizona reported that he and several colleagues had found the Sun to be oscillating in brightness with variable cycles lasting from a few minutes to nearly one hour [like variable stars]. Hill suggested that the oscillations might be due to mechanical waves ...

... drift" in response to "mantle" convection the resultant tectonics would be more "hot-fudge" than plate (14). This suggestion finds support in the estimate that over geologic time the heat at the surface could eradicate 300 km diameter craters simply by plastic deformation (3 , p. 135). This confirms what Ralph E. Juergens reported in his critique of Morrison (KRONOS IV:2 ), namely that "craters on Venus with strongly stunted rims not at all in keeping with their great diameters seem to suggest that such formations are indeed deformed by subsidence" (p . 78). Juergens also suggested the plastic nature of Venus's surface with "Anomalous features ...

... Davidson in Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky. But this evidence he chose to withhold from his readers in order to attack Velikovsky. Furthermore, my book has numerous citations to two other volumes, namely Velikovsky and Establishment Science and Scientists Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky. These volumes in part also deal with Sagan. For example, Ralph E. Juergens directly pointed out another example of Sagan's self-contradictions on this question of capture of comets by Jupiter and Velikovsky's hypothesis. "Sagan recounts how certain nineteenth-century astronomers (whom he characterizes as early astronomers') thought Jupiter must be the source of the so- called short-period comets with aphelia [greatest distance from the sun] near the Jovian [ ...

... in Gervase's Chronicle did actually see with their own naked eyes the events forming this crater.(34) There is, therefore, nothing far-fetched in the ancients' claim that lunar "tear drops" or "fire pearls" were seen to fall to Earth in days gone by, especially since the interplanetary discharges that both Velikovsky and Ralph Juergens describe(35) would have been a thousand-fold more powerful than the event described by the medieval churchman. If this is so, one need hardly point out that this could not have transpired twenty million years ago. There is, of course, another alternative but, personally, I am not convinced that this ancient tradition regarding tektites ...

... associated with plasma generated by explosives in laboratory experiments. Some of the photographic sequences of explosions were recorded on film shot at the incredible speed of 1 million frames per second! The subsection entitled The Heliosphere' describes Cook's theory of the Sun, its power source, the solar wind and cosmic rays. His theory is not the same as Juergens' electric discharge theory but like Juergens he argues that there is evidence of electrical charge separation on a massive scale, and that the source of its heat and light is external rather than internal, originating in the vast flow of cosmic rays which bombards it from space. Although he does not analyse the Earth's magnetism in detail, he ...

Juergens SEARCHING FOR THE SCARS OF BATTLE Mr. Juergens is associate editor of Pensee. This paper is an extension of his presentation to the McMaster University symposium, "Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System," June 16-19, 1974. The first part of this paper (Pensee, Fall, 1974) was devoted primarily to an argument that sinuous rilles, features peculiar to maria surfaces on the Moon, are of electrical origin. It was suggested that these tortuous "riverbeds" ...

There is also a 40-foot trench caused by lightning, blasted out of a baseball diamond by a lightning bolt [see image in Pensee IVR, IX, p. 26, whose most important characteristic is that it is a channel of constant width, as described by Ralph Juergens in the Pensee in the same article. It was Juergens who first suggested that sinuous rilles were formed by lightning. The Moon's sinuous rilles are up to 250km in length, and are often suggested to be collapsed larva tubes, though Wal's own experience, having visited actual collapsed larva tubes in Hawaii and Australia, is that they are ...

Juergens By now a full generation of highly trained specialists and theorists has devoted its time, its talents, and a substantial share of the world's public and private treasure to a search for the means to produce energy on Earth the way the Sun is said to do it - by fusing together the nuclei of light elements to form heavier ones, and in the process converting mass to energy. The inspiration for this extended effort rose from the ashes of a world war. As the ...

... particularly if multiple flares are involved."(43) There thus appears to be a correlation that strongly indicates that electricity from the Sun travels to the Earth and plays a major role in the emplacement of charge on the planet. 5. Charge, Discharge, and the Earth's Rotation At this point is seems only proper to quote Ralph Juergens who stated: It is interesting... to note that Booker, in a straightforward work on the fundamentals of electrical science, stresses the fact that electric charge placed on a rotating flywheel increases its polar amount of intertia. The presumption, of course, is that the charge is convected as the flywheel rotates and thus constitutes an ...

From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents Reconciling Celestial Mechanics and Velikovskian Catastrophism Ralph Juergens Copyright 1972 by Ralph E. Juergens Ralph Juergens, a civil engineer living in Flagstaff, Arizona, was formerly associate editor of a McGraw-Hill technical publication. The hypothesis he sets forth here is his own and is not necessarily held by Dr. Velikovsky. ABSTRACT: The interplanetary medium is capable of confining the electric fields of charged celestial bodies within space-charge sheaths of limited dimensions. This phenomenon explains the success of gravitational theory in describing and predicting orbital motions in the present, relatively stable Solar System. Disruption of ...
145. The Future of A Publishing Idea [Journals] [Pensee]
... a series of 10 interdisciplinary issues dealing with Velikovsky's work. (For information on subscriptions, see our notice on the inside front cover.) Our aim is to draw the most capable scholars from all affected disciplines into the discussion, as well as to publish the writing of Velikovsky himself. In this issue we feature a paper by Ralph Juergens, whose theses represent a pioneering effort to bring electromagnetic considerations to bear upon celestial mechanics, and thereby to illuminate the physical side of the events described in Worlds in Collision. While Velikovsky urges discussions of this sort, he does not, of course, feel that final answers have been found, and retains reservations about Juergens' conclusions ...

... , nor a single volcano had suddenly scorched and collapsed the famed Troy IIg. Multiple volcanic venting and extra-terrestrial electrical encounter had to be invoked to explain the observed facts and myths. Uniformitarian methods of a century had failed to identify the problem precisely and permitted not a whisper about the high energy expressions of catastrophes. In 1972 the engineer Ralph Juergens announces his theory that the solar system was an electrical system operating on galactic fuel. Particles from the Milky Way bombard the sun, building up a heat that sends out the sun's radiance. (Concurrently, experimenters announced the failure to detect the sun's presumed neutrino output from its supposed atomic furnaces.) The theory of Juergens poses a ...

... that produces that force, and then it can accomplish the sort of thing that astronomers see. It would be much simpler to take a strong force like electricity." Dr Milton's talk was devised as a tribute to two unrecognised pioneers of electrical astronomy, both of whom died last year: C. E. R. BRUCE and RALPH JUERGENS. Bruce maintained in a paper published in 1944 that phenomena occurring above the surfaces of stars should be understood as being similar to terrestrial atmospheric lightning - that is, electrical in origin - but on a much grander scale. Bruce's ideas, said Dr Milton, represented "the astronomy of the next half-century - for those who are alert ...

... simply-stated theory could predict all mythical archetypes but be false." To the contrary, systems of thought can be internally consistent yet bear no resemblance to physical reality. Coherence is no guarantor of truth. Since conventional physics preclude any such arrangement, Velikovskians have adopted the plasma theoretic "electric universe" model, propounded in the 1970s by Ralph Juergens, as a deus ex machina. Supposedly, the Sun is an electric discharge powered by an influx of electrons. Based largely on various analogies, this "theory" has no quantitative basis and, despite all the hand waving, is disproved by everything known about the Sun's behavior. [106] The careful reader will appreciate that ...

... as Gilileo and Laplace have pointed out. The evidence is that the dogma is groundless but the fear real. This was the principal reason for the prolonged emotional outburst in which almost the entire scientific community of the 1950's took part, an outburst of what Søren Kierkegaard termed "fear and trembling"." Also in The Velikovsky Affair, Juergens concludes his "Aftermath to Exposure" with a fitting excerpt from David Stove's 1964 Quadrant article [11] which I find most evocative: "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 ...
