... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 1 (Fall 1977) Home | Issue Contents Radiohalos And Earth History Ralph E. Juergens Pleochroic halos are microscopic, ring-like discolorations observed when thin sections of certain minerals are examined by polarized light. They were first discovered some years before the turn of the present century and were named for their "pleochroism," a term introduced more than a century ago to denote "the property of exhibiting different colors in different directions by transmitted polarized light (Dana)."(1 ) But they remained an unexplained curiosity of nature for many years. It was not until 1907 that the mystery of their origin was cleared up. In ...
177. On Morrison: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 2 (Winter 1977) "Velikovsky and Establishment Science" Home | Issue Contents On Morrison: Some Preliminary Remarks Ralph E. Juergens [This contribution was prepared as a memorandum to Dr. Velikovsky, hence its unfinished, outline format. More detailed criticism of Morrison will appear at a subsequent time.] In November 1973, Dr. David Morrison of the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, submitted a paper titled "Astronomical Evidence For and Against Recent Planetary Catastrophism" to the journal Pensée. Morrison's paper was criticised by Pensée's editorial staff (now affiliated with KRONOS) and revised accordingly. After undergoing revision, the paper ...
178. Of the Moon and Mars, Part 1 [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 4: (Fall 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IX" Home | Issue Contents Of the Moon and Mars, Part 1 Ralph E. Juergens THE ORIGIN OF LUNAR SINUOUS RILLES Mr. Juergens is an associate editor of Pensee. This is the first part of a two-part paper. According to Velikovsky's collation of ancient historical accounts, the most recent period of turmoil in the solar system ended less than 2700 years ago (1 ). Territorial disputes that continued for nearly a full century brought Venus, Mars, the earth, and the moon into repeated conflicts, scarring all of them to varying degrees. And since all this happened ...

Juergens MR JUERGENS IS A CIVIL ENGINEER WORKING IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA, AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO BOTH "PENSÉE" AND "KRONOS" I In investigating the possibility that the Sun and the other stars of the universe may actually derive their energy electrically from the outside, as the complex structure and thermal properties of the solar atmosphere suggest, it ...
... ancient sources, nor did he overlook the evidence that life in the seas would have survived, especially in the seas of the higher latitudes and polar regions where there was an ice cap. The melting of the ice cap and melting of the numerous icebergs would also have to be taken into account. Solar activity and rotation Ralph E. Juergens dealt with the gravitational aspect of Sagan's argument stating, "Sagan stated that the most serious objection to Velikovsky's conclusion that the Earth's rotation was slowed .. .during the catastrophes of the second and first millennia has to do with correcting the effect: How does the Earth get started up again, rotating at approximately the same rate of ...
... Velikovsky's if work not been the rnain topic. Whichever, theory is on the right path may not be known for the while. Until one or another model is actually confirmed, objections based on mean density should carry little weightagainst Velikovsky's work. (For additional support of the idea that there is no density problem, see an article by Juergens in KRONOS II,1976.) CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANETS In all 50, various planets were thought to have certain characteristics. Velikovsky noted that many of characteristics were not consistent with what one would expect if events really occurred as described in Worlds in Collision. He then postulated some planetary characteristics that would be consistent with those events and ...
182. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... atmosphere of a star. A complicated natural system of sheaths surrounds bodies in space. It grades, balances, and neutralizes charges to keep cosmic bodies in the state which we come to regard as "normal," that is, where time is lengthened and geological and biological processes, such as our very existence, can occur. Ralph Juergens has described the space-sheath system in connection with the encounters of the Earth and Mars [4 ], and it will be explained below. In all the "amazing" observations that we make about the "world," surely the continuous series of electrical relations that extend from the universe, through the galaxy and sun and planets and ...

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 ...

... ] irrelevant for the systematic, theoretical knowledge of a reality worth knowing" (6 ). Note, however, that Velikovsky's curiosity was aroused not at all on the professional basis of objectivity in keeping with the parameters of on-going theoretical issues, but by evidence which emerged from historical accounts. In The American Behavioral Scientist, Ralph E. Juergens writes, "Reflecting upon events in the life of Moses, Velikovsky began to speculate: Was there a natural catastrophe at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt?" (7 ). And in the Yale Scientific Magazine we have this account: ". . . Velikovsky was first struck by the idea of a ...

192. Aphrodite - The Moon or Venus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... - we cannot treat the references to Aphrodite as evidence on two planetary bodies. The absence of any evidence to support the Aphrodite - Moon equation in "Worlds in Collision" is noteworthy - if Velikovsky has found any he does not give it. Yet the identification seems to have been tacitly accepted by many supporters of his thesis. Ralph Juergens, for instance follows Velikovsky by postulating that one Homeric story about the love affair of Ares and Aphrodite, which describes how Aphrodite's jealous husband Hephaestus trapped the lovers in a remarkable net, could be a description of electromagnetic activity between Mars and the Moon orbiting one another at close range. This bold interpretation is used by Juergens as the ...

... if the star-like appearance and jets of some cometary nuclei are due to an effect like the intensely bright points of light seen in spark-gap machining or old high voltage mercury arc rectifiers. Maybe solar heating is not the only, or even the prime, mechanism for outgassing of cometary nuclei?" Well, I believe that Bruce, Crew and Juergens can all figuratively take a bow because I have just seen close up photographs of the comet Halley nucleus taken by the Giotto spacecraft and it looks like one of the bright jets of material is emanating from a crater. The nucleus is in fact dotted with circular craters from 500 to 1000m in diameter. The photographs were shown at a ...

... produced by torques on the Earth during Mars flybys. This is nonsense because gravitational torques do not affect a gyroscope's spin rate. In addition, Patten is wrong in saying that in frictionless space "a minute change in spin rate is always in the positive direction, an increase," because he ignores the convection of electric charge discussed by Juergens (Pensee, VII,and Kronos, 11: 3).Electric charge added to a rotating sphere decreases the spin rate.11 Patten disingenuously ignores my point that if Earth's spin rate changed, as he asserts, ocean levels would have been altered, and there is no evidence for this kind of effect. Why does Patten ...

... accidents are removed. AEON: At the recent world conference in Portland, Wal Thornhill also talked about electrical scars on the planets and their moons. Does this has any significance for the Saturn thesis? Talbott: I know that Wal would want me to add a little context to the subject. It was almost 25 years ago that Ralph Juergens, in the Pensée series, "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered," (3 ) proposed that sinuous rilles on the Moon and Mars appear to have been carved out by electrical dis-charges. Though the series was distributed to a large number of folks in the scientific community, Juergens' pioneering work has, as far as any of us can ...
... central problems are clear: Who determines scientific truth? What is their warrant? How do they do so?... In the end, some judgment must be passed upon the behavior of science and, if adverse, some remedies must be proposed. [71 j The journal contained three major articles. The first was by Ralph Juergens, "a civil engineer and an associate editor on the staff of a McGraw-Hill technical publication.., long .. . interested in the Velikovsky case"; Juergens discussed the events in the controversy. Then Livio Stecchini reviewed the history of ideas about the stability of the solar system, from the days of the Greek philosophers to ...

... are still awaiting a satisfying explanation. Velikovsky suggested (Pensée IVR II, 1972, p. 27) that the phenomenon of Venus shielding the Earth from solar protons at conjunction, despite its weak magnetic field, should be examined from the point of view of Venus being electrically charged. The lack of magnetic field could have been predicted from Juergens' work, which equates a planetary magnetic field with the convection of charge by a rotating, charged body (see Kronos II:3 , 1977, pp. 12ff.). Another possibility has been proposed by Firsoff. He envisages electric currents induced in the Venusian atmosphere by the solar wind, which may effectively cancel out any ...

Haldane (cited by Juergens, 1966:32) concluded his negative review of Worlds in Collision with the comment that the work was "equally a degradation of science and religion." An editorial in Nature (1974:541; emphasis supplied) lamented: It would have amazed the Victorian steadfasts of science how confused some of our attitudes towards science still are ...
