... done." (4 ) Thereafter, Dr. C. J. Ransom, a member of the AAAS, submitted a proposal to hold this meeting dated June 11, 1973. "An analysis and critique of the views of Immanuel Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision) as they bear on the question of the age and characteristics of the planet Venus. In view of the increasing interest in Velikovsky's work among scientists and the general public, such a symposium restricted to one topic, could perform a valuable service in setting the discussion of Velikovsky's theories on a sound, cautious and scientific footing . . . . "Such a symposium is likely to draw as diverse and multidisciplinary ( ...
32. Solar System Studies [Journals] [Aeon]
... . His work aroused a heated and negative reaction within several branches of science. In rebuttal he wrote several books on Ages in Chaos, focusing on Middle East chronology and Earth in Upheaval, describing geological evidence of catastrophes he believed to have occurred in recent millennia, adding many short articles in which he offered a number of predictions concerning the planets and our Moon. When a number of these advance claims seemed to be verified by findings of remotely operated space probes, interest in his work increased. Early on Immanuel Velikovsky had planned to write a sequel to Worlds in Collision covering the eras of Saturn and Jupiter, but it never happened. Yet among Velikovsky's followers, there are ...
33. On Mars and Pestilence [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) Home | Issue Contents On Mars and Pestilence Ev Cochrane The recent emergence of archaeoastronomy as a science has produced a wealth of information about the various celestial bodies. To date, however, the collection of information has proceeded at a faster pace than has analysis. This is nowhere more apparent than in comparative analyses of ancient traditions surrounding the planets. One wants to know, for example, what to make of the fact that the ancient Mesoamerican skywatchers- like their Babylonian counterparts- represented the planet Venus as a great warrior or as a fire-breathing dragon. (61) Or why the Babylonians together with several other advanced cultures described the planet Saturn as a "Sun." ...

... of Saturn" is a lame excuse when used to condone the placing of words, which I never uttered, into my mouth. It is even lamer when used to ignore words that I did. My dismay had nothing to do with the speculations of others. What "chagrined" me was that these speculations attributed the ejection of the planet Venus from Saturn to my works when, more than once I had emphatically denied that I had ever stated such a thing. Moreover, the issue has nothing to do with what I mean by "Child of Saturn" for, while I did coin this term, my disconformity only extends to the supplanting of the word "daughter ...
36. Magnetic Models of the Polar Configuration [Journals] [Aeon]
... mutual repulsions are replaced by those of magnetic fields. This replacement was necessary because 1) no known physical mechanism including magnetic fields could have conserved electric charges on any two planetary bodies sufficient to neutralize a detectable fraction of their mutual gravitational attraction, (2 ) and 2) a mechanism existed which could generate global magnetic fields on any two planets strong enough to repel each planet from the other against their mutual gravitational attraction.

Clarke "Person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt person doing it." - spurious Chinese proverb Introduction The planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky - after the Sun and the Moon. Astronomers repeatedly refer to it as Earth's twin' [1 ]. They should not - for twins are always born close together in time and there is no evidence to support their assumption that the two planets are of the same age. I will ...
... published in 1874 it was a rare thing to meet with a scientist who would admit that the earth had a ring system; to-day it is as rare to meet with one who does not concede the great fact, and the great problem is resolving itself into this form: How did the earth's rings fall back to the surface of the planet ? I have vi Introduction. attempted to answer this question in the following pages, and as this fourth edition is being prepared for the press I have before me more than a thousand letters from many parts of the thinking world. The great mass of them concedes the logic of my contentions. But three of their writers have taken ...

... 30,000,000 to 1] and that the odds against a series of such encounters in the same millennium become so high that they make the theory untenable. (3 ) But the fact of the matter is that it is quite probable that a body on an elliptical orbit between Jupiter and the Earth, once it encounters a planet like Earth, will return to encounter that body again and again. Paolo Maffei, in 1980, described three different comets and their interactions with the planet Jupiter. Although it can be argued that, since Jupiter is a giant among the planets, having much more mass than all the planets, asteroids, and comets inside the orbit ...
