... Father of the now-defunct Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. He is currently the Editor of AEON as well as the Series Editor for the Osiris Series of books sponsored by Cosmos & Chronos. An enthusiastic researcher and writer, he has now published over 100 articles on various subjects in various periodicals. Summary The Saturnian theory proposes a line-up of the planets Saturn, Venus, Mars and Earth, all sharing the same axis of rotation. According to the mytho-historical record, this seemingly outrageous arrangement of planets existed in prehistoric times before it fell apart in a series of catastrophic events. In reconstructing the events in the formation and destruction of this configuration, certain demands which the theory raises have ...

... means of the passage of a comet) . . . . "The third recycling of this extraterrestrial catastrophe concept was the Hoerbiger-Bellamy "World Ice Theory." First published in Germany . . . Bellamy books . . . did not have such a taint and were pure crackpottery, telling how a former Moon of Earth had crashed into the planet some 13,500 years ago, being soon afterwards replaced by the current Moon (which Velikovsky agreed was indeed captured at about that time) . . . . ". . . [H ]is ideas differed from those of Whiston, Donnelly, Hoerbiger, and Bellamy. But he [Velikovsky] had good reason, as ...
93. The Origin of the Comets, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Origin of the Comets The nebular and tidal theories endeavour to explain the origin of the solar system but do not include the comets in their schemes. Comets are more numerous than planets. More than sixty comets are known to belong definitely to the solar system. These are the comets of short periods (less than eighty years); they revolve in stretched ellipses and all but one do not go beyond the line marked by the orbit of Neptune. It is estimated that, besides the comets of short periods, several hundred thousand comets visit the solar system; however it is ...
94. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification Ev Cochrane One of the most difficult problems facing the researcher in comparative mythology concerns the planetary identifications of the ancient gods. This problem is especially critical to those scholars investigating the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky, whose book Worlds in Collision was premised upon the finding that the ancient gods were identified with the various planets, certainly one of Velikovsky's most seminal contributions to the study of myth. Velikovsky's thesis is supported by the fact that the oldest symbols of the gods in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Mesoamerica are stars. (1 ) That the ancient gods were celestial objects seems obvious; what is not obvious, however, is which gods represent which ...
95. "Planet X and the Sunspot Cycle" (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 1 (Fall 1984) Home | Issue Contents Vox Populi "Planet X and the Sunspot Cycle"To the Editor of KRONOS: Non-linearities in space are considered here as propagating gravitational slopes inducing the present controversy known as "Planet X". When postulated as incoming red-shifted photons, the "brunt" shock front between the quantum, mass, and velocity of these photons at the surface of the Sun, as seen through a synchronous window, allows the relativistic effects to be known collectively as the sunspot cycle. The photons arrive with a message shaped in the ratio of phase velocity to velocity (2C:C ), looking ...

... of the solar system (1 ). Articles in the scientific literature indicate that major changes could have occurred in the order and composition of the original solar system. Collisions have played an important role in some of these changes. In 1960, McCrea (2 ), who was then president of the Royal Astronomical Society, proposed that no planets were originally formed inside the orbit of Jupiter. This conclusion was a result of his quantitative analysis of the nebular model. Later Alfven (3 ) investigated the mass distribution within a group of secondary bodies formed around a central rotating body. He demonstrated the possibility that the terrestrial planets were formed after the giant planets. (However, ...
97. Plenitude of New Worlds Challenges Skills of Planetary Modelers [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:1 (Sep 1997) Home | Issue Contents Plenitude of New Worlds Challenges Skills of Planetary Modelers 13 Feb 1997. Seattle, WA- About two years ago, astrophysicist Douglas Lin recalls, speaker after speaker at an astronomy meeting in Hawaii deplored the lack of convincing evidence for new planets outside of our solar system. Lin then arose to state that making planets is incredibly easy. Researchers weren't finding them, he said, for a simple reason: Most young planets migrate into their parent stars, which consume them. The civil audience pelted Lin with figurative tomatoes. But a lot has changed in two years, and no one's hurling ...
98. Stairway to Heaven [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Stairway to Heaven Ev Cochrane One of the most frequently heard objections to the Saturn-theory follows this line of reasoning: "How do we really know that the mythical traditions surrounding the ancient deities actually have anything to do with planets?" Leroy Ellenberger, in typical bombastic fashion, has labeled this view the "Big Lie" behind the Saturnist research agenda. It is true that, in the earliest Egyptian, Vedic, and Greek mythological traditions, the planets are rarely mentioned by their astronomical name. Why, then, do we insist that the respective planets were important players in these cultures? Well ...
99. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:3 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock (Crown, New York, 1998) Reviewed by Frederic Jueneman Mars has become as prominent a body in our contemporary book and tabloid literature as it has been a celebrated celestial object in our night skies. The red planet has been recently visited by two space probes: Pathfinder, the lander that bounced its way onto the surface and opened its lotus-like petals for the short-lived wheeled rover to explore the immediate environment, and the orbiting Surveyor that is currently analyzing and mapping the surface to satisfy our insatiable curiosity in a ...
100. Planets might be stars [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents Planets might be stars spaceflightnow.com/news/n0010/28extrasolar/ Some new planets might be stars, researchers say. University of Pittsburgh News Release. October 28, 2000 More than half of the recently detected extrasolar planets appear not to be planetary objects at all, according to a preliminary astrometric study conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's Allegheny Observatory, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, and the Korea Astronomy Observatory. The study was presented at the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society meeting, October 23-27, in Pasadena, California. The study suggests that the ...
