... of celestial bodies should exhibit systematic and symmetric behavior. Upon investigation of the motions of celestial bodies, this is what I believe I have found. What follows is my research into the above questions. ROTATION BY ELECTROMAGNETISM Andre Danjon,3 Gribbin and Plagemann 4 reported that large solar flares ejected toward the Earth slowed our planet's rotation temporarily. Juergens explained that this additional charge acted as a breaking mechanism by changing the Earth's polar moment of inertia.5 But to reaccelerate the Earth's rotation back to its former velocity also requires a force to do this. I suggest that force is magnetism. When the weaker planetary magnetic field encounters the immensely stronger solar field the solar field repels the ...
152. Solaria Binaria [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the binary axis. The axes of the Sun and Super-Uranus were perpendicular to the electrical axis; as cathode and anode they exchanged electrical current between the closest points on their equators. DECLINE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The source of the electricity of the system was, and is, cosmic, principally galactic, which, using a mechanism described by Juergens [23], would have charges built up in the corona of the Sun being continuously discharged along the tube to Super-Uranus, which was less negatively charged. The magnetic current whirling around the electrical current was directed oppositely. The planets within the gaseous tube shared its potential which, like Super-Uranus, was lower than that of the Sun ...
153. Some Additional Comments On Tektites [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 1 (August 1976) Home | Issue Contents Some Additional Comments On Tektites Ralph E. Juergens I would like to applaud Cardona's suggestion that tektites may be products of interplanetary electrical discharges to the surface of the Moon. It seems to me that this is an idea whose time has come. One criticism, directed less at Cardona than at most of the other scientists who have addressed themselves to the tektite puzzle over the past several decades, concerns a tendency to persist in either-or attitudes about tektite sources: Either the tektites originated on the Moon; or they originated on the Earth. In terms of the electrical fusion hypothesis, and ...
154. A Note on the "Land of Punt" [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 2 (Summer 1975) Home | Issue Contents A Note on the "Land of Punt"Ralph E. Juergens and Lewis M. GreenbergG In his "Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History" (Scripta Academica Hierosolymitana, 1945) and in Ages in Chaos (1952), Velikovsky identifies the "land of Punt, ' mentioned in numerous Egyptian texts,(1 ) as Phoenicia-Palestine.(2 ) This, like so many other ideas he has put forward, has been essentially ignored by professional Egyptologists, who continue to disseminate the long-held view that Punt must have been located on the African or Arabian littorals (e ...
155. The Empire Strikes Back [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the analysis if the author distinguishes the scholarly supporters and the lay supporters. (The word "public" is better but unfortunately has several meanings.) The scientific opponents of Velikovsky have also their scholarly and lay supporters. As for disputes among the scholarly supporters and Velikovsky, contrary to Bauer's statements, there are dozens, beginning with Juergens, Hess, and Stecchini and ending with the young writers in the current (Nov. 1978) issue of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies Review. At the bottom of p. 237, Bauer shoots from the hip at both Juergens as an absurdity and myself as a political scientist, while favoring physicist Kruskal's scornful attack upon Juergens. ...
156. Venus Hothouse - The Other Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ongoing process of magmatic forced convection. As an outgrowth of this pervasive forced convection and high surface temperature, the lithosphere of Venus is considered to be quite plastic. It was suggested in a New York Times article by Velikovsky on July 21, 1969, that Venus would have "mountain-high ground tides", and civil engineer RALPH E. JUERGENS recently added that the rifts, mountains, and valleys presently observed on the planet may be for the most part temporary topographical features, highly susceptible to plastic deformation. Such deformation would be subject to external, interplanetary pertubation, especially from the comparatively nearby Earth, and which in turn would give rise to a wave motion in both the ...
157. Cosmic Heretics [Journals] [Aeon]
... deal with scientific precedents to V. 's catastrophism, an approach quite new to the discussions of a decade earlier, and one which Stecchini, using the principle of contradictions, executed beautifully, calling up Whiston, Boulanger, Laplace and Kugler as unexpected witnesses on behalf of the defendant. The straight history of the affair went to Ralph Juergens, who had been introduced to Deg by V. as a mechanical engineer, much interested in electrical theory, who had moved his family down from Ohio in order to be near to where V. was working; he was now a scientific editor working in New York for McGraw Hill. Juergens had published nothing; he knew the ...
158. "Let There Be Light" - A Criticism [Journals] [Kronos]
... as at the same time, he assumes that heat is transferred internally by flowing magma, which will solidify at 900- 1400 degrees Kelvin. We can try to save the theory by saying that the temperature of the interior is higher, although the mean temperature decline of the interior equals that of the surface. But in another contribution, Juergens(2 ) points out that solid silicates will not float on their liquids. Cold magma would tend to sink, thus circulation would go on until solidification took place. Consequently, Venus would now be solid all through- but, after the solidification, the cooling at the surface would go much quicker, because the convection mechanism would ...
159. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... become dross and dull? Another entry, several days later : Velikovsky came by for a few minutes, left a couple of items, and loped off saying "I have left too much for the last mile." Too many interruptions, many of his own causing: too many projects, too. At least he has gotten reliable Juergens to edit his "Ten Trials" for publication [it never happened]. We talked of Livio Stecchini who is working on ancient measures and geography. His writing may never see the light. Why? "He cannot bring things to fruition," I said. "The idea is hard," said V., the ...
160. Planetary Observations of the T'ang [Articles]
... radically different than those that are acceptable to Astronomy today. Being as specific as possible, the material seems to suggest: 1. the one-time presence or importance of other forces within the Solar System, forces that may be electrical or electro-magnetic, but in any case, are strong enough to greatly disrupt planetary orbits (ideas originated by Ralph Juergens, and taken up by Earl Milton and Alfred DeGrazia in their Solaria Binaria). Also, these forces may have either disappeared or decreased over time. 2. that this force may be in some way related to how the Sun and the stars shine, or procure their energy. These forces seem to appear sporadically, present either ...
161. Velikovsky In Collision [Journals] [Kronos]
... (Sydney, Australia). It is being reprinted because its reasoning and eloquence do not deserve the obscurity it has heretofore enjoyed. Readers familiar with his 1967 article "The Scientific Mafia" (reprinted in Pensée IVR I and Velikovsky Reconsidered) may recognize passages that are derivative of the earlier work presented herein. Were it not for Ralph Juergens having quoted the Quadrant article at the end of "Aftermath to Exposure " in The Velikovsky Affair, probably few outside Australia would know of its existence. Juergens' excerpts from Stove's evocative last section subsequently appeared in SIS Review III:2 (1978), p. 29 and KRONOS IV:4 (1979), p. ...
162. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas [Journals] [Kronos]
... 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 Soren Kierkegaard termed "fear and trembling."(38) Also in The Velikovsky Affair, Juergens concludes his "Aftermath to Exposure" with a fitting excerpt from David Stove's 1964 Quadrant article which is 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 the history of the solar ...
163. The Jupiter Order [Books] [de Grazia books]
... craters found even in heavily cratered terrains (Oberbeck et al., p1697) bespeak genesis by electrical rather than heavy-body impact. The crater lumps noted at the site of the lunar rays on the face of Mare Cogitum were the earliest for which a bombardment hypothesis would no longer avail (Lear, p43, p38). Yet, besides Juergens (1974/75, II.28ff), only Pickering has forwarded an electrical explanation for cratering. During changes in orbit, electrical transactions on an enhanced level are induced. Unless a body is protected by an extensive atmosphere, and today none of these are, surface damage will result whenever electrical currents flow to or from them ...
... . Because of their work with beta decay, Anderson and Spangler are convinced that the assumption of the "constant" decay constant needs re-examination. They note that additional work must be done, but their results "rather strongly suggest that, at a minimum, an unreliability factor must be incorporated into age dating calculations." Ralph F. Juergens has recently reviewed the literature pertaining to assumptions used in radioactive dating. Portions of this work will appear later in the journal KRONOS, but the following is taken from a pre-publication print affably provided to me by Juergens. Juergens notes that in addition to the assumption of a radioactive decay "constant", an equally basic assumption is that ...
165. Early Historic Man -- Catastrophism and Calendars [Articles]
... a small body. But of course your impacts can be at almost any angle, they can affect the spin or they can affect the inclination. René Gallant: Naturally, I have to make assumptions. Milton Zysman: One of the questions that fascinates me, if I may turn the questions to impact craters, and the work of Juergens who was close to Velikovsky in the final years and did some work on speculation on impact craters on the Moon, is whether you attempt to differentiate between impact craters which are electrical discharge craters and ones which are an actual impact of a meteor or actual body. René Gallant: Are you referring to the electrical effects in craters of ...

... a cometary train striking and excavating the Pacific Basin, 1-8, 76-99 espec. 89. 4. The astronomer Lyttleton once said, regarding the origin of the Moon, "that a distant third body, such as the Sun, might play a major role in rounding out an eccentric orbit in a surprisingly short period of time." Juergens (1974B) 39. 5. Marsden and Cameron (1966). 6. I came upon a copy of Baker's work (1932, 1954) in the Library of Congress as I was checking some last citations for this book. The year before (1978) I had noticed a passing reference to Baker in Sullivan (1974 ...
167. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... I think that these tell us, or they will tell us when the debate is finished, that the heavens have changed recently and are not eternally fixed in their movements. Without pausing to examine the mathematics of Professor Bass, I would call your attention also to the work of an engineer who has occupied himself with electrical phenomena, Ralph Juergens. Mr. Juergens, working alone and without support other than that provided by the inspiration and encouragement of a few friends, has written articles that I am convinced will be numbered among the most important of our age. The thesis which he advances , and which is my candidate for the winning side in the approaching cosmic debate, ...
168. How the Gods Fly [Books] [de Grazia books]
... which in turn may remotely have originated as a product of electrical laws. The imagery of the story is conveyed in motions that appear arbitrary, reversible, and erratic - qualities more characteristic of electrical than of gravitational forces. The examination of Moon and Mars has already shown features, such as rilles, that electrical theory can explain. Ralph Juergens, who has made a special effort to reconcile the much-neglected science of gaseous electrical discharges with the theory of cosmic catastrophism, has recently proposed an electrical concept of the solar system that appears to fit the scenario of the Love Affair [4 ]. He suggests that the Sun's corona and the surfaces of the planets carry a heavy electric ...
169. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and we might note that the possiblity of electrical phenomena contributing to the energy content of the Sun may account for the dearth of neutrino emission. DJURIC has pointed out that a magnetic Earth must have an electric field associated with it, and has suggested that this is the true cause of the attraction of charged particles from the Solar wind. JUERGENS begins with a charged Earth in order to explain the magnetic field, and it seems to be a moot point as to which of the electric and the magnetic fields is the fundamental property and which the derived property. Both workers conclude that the Earth appears to have a negative charge as seen by an outside observer. Juergens notes that ...
170. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "decay constant," which is supposed to be invariable if it is to be used to clock geological time, speeded up about 2% when the magnetic field was applied. He concluded that "the thesis of decay constancy under all environmental conditions cannot be maintained."[12] These experimental results move in the direction theorized by Juergens and experimentally indicated by Anderson and Spangler [13]. The half-life of radioactive isotopes appears vulnerable to external electromagnetic influences. Since the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has been diminishing, along with that of magnetized rocks, the radio clocks within the rocks will have been slowing down. Further, it is not alone a matter of ...

... possible. Melting only occurs in the very centre of the lightning channel and therefore as a maximum may only constitute a few percent of the material excavated. It is strongly dependent on the duration of the discharge and the nature and conductivity of the material receiving the current. The National Geographic of June 1950 has a photograph, referred to by Juergens, of a trench dug by lightning which excavated 50 to 60 cubic ft of earth and distributed it either side of the trench. The earth was not melted. But even a meteorite impact would not cause much melting. Thomas Gold has said of it: "the transport by conduction of heat cannot account for more than a very ...

174. The Cornell Lecture: Sagan on A Wednesday [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is "not what gets spat out of Jupiter." One of the oldest of the anti-Velikovsky canards is this claim that, since the overall densities of Venus and Jupiter are different, since there are some other differences between them- such as the proportions of the various materials making them up, Venus cannot have been born from Jupiter. But Juergens has pointed out that even Rupert Wildt (Sagan's hero on other days) once concluded that Jupiter would have a rocky core that, in Juergens' words, "would contain enough material of more-than-sufficient mean density to yield 100 planets the size of Venus." (24) In the last few decades, it has become fashionable to ...

... .{26} This process requires less heating than the volcanic model. Velikovsky had claimed that the existing domes would be found to have been caused by bubbling and, although the domes were known to exist, he was in good company in offering his explanation for the domes (unburst bubbles) and certain craters (burst bubbles). Juergens discussed an alternate proposal for the origin of some of the craters, but he noted that the concept that some craters are burst bubbles is of entirely peripheral importance to the ideas presented in Worlds in Collision.{27} Whatever the origin of the craters, there appears to be no question that the Moon once had "a heat ...
