... not contain a single chapter on cosmogony. Their authors regard the Earth as being there' already, a sphere of glowing molten material, no matter how and whence derived. However, it will become clear, as the argument in this book develops, that it is necessary to begin at the very beginning: at the birth of our Planet, which obviously cannot be rightly separated from the coming into existence of our Solar System, whose presence and quality in turn depend upon the material and mechanical condition of the whole Universe. Hence the result of our geological deductions and investigations will largely depend upon the cosmogonic premises on which we base them, while, on the other hand ...
62. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... what I have already said in Pensée and Kronos [2 ] for the benefit of those of you who may not have read those papers, and then I shall try to say something beyond what I have published. From the point of view of Newtonian mechanics, point-particle mechanics, that is, idealised mechanics in which the Sun and the planets are considered to be mathematical points which move in time according to Newton's Law of Motion, I have absolutely no difference of opinion whatsoever with what Dr Roy has said. I believe that, in the case of point-particle Newtonian mechanics, including only Newton's Law of Motion and even disregarding things that Newton would have accepted, such as tidal ...
63. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... appear to associate Indra with some sort of disturbance of the Sun. Included is the following passage, discussed briefly in our previous article: "What time thou settest near the Sun thy body, thy form, Immortal One, is seen expanding." (85) How does all of this relate to our hypothesis that Indra represents the planet Mars? (86) The fact of the matter is, as we have documented elsewhere, that the planet Mars was associated with eclipse-like phenomena by other ancient peoples as well. (87) Ancient texts from Ugarit, for example, associate the god Reseph with a disturbance of the Sun. (88) That Reseph is to ...
64. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Forum Ia. Comet catastrophes: a new synthesis?- the challenge, set by Bernard Newgrosh It is now 42 years since Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision first saw print and whilst his ideas generated debate, controversy and even furore, they are still no nearer to general recognition. This is particularly so of Velikovsky's cosmic catastrophism which featured the planet Venus on a cometary orbit, the planet Mars on an erratic orbit, and Venus, Mars, the Earth and the Moon having near-miss contacts with each other. Mainstream astronomers have repeatedly rejected these ideas and in the strongest possible terms. They have described his scenarios as wildly impossible' and have felt justified in doing so because they ...
65. Long-held theory of circular orbits shattered [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1996:2 (Feb 1997) Home | Issue Contents Press Releases Long-held theory of circular orbits shattered 24 October 1996: Researchers Discover New Planet with Oblong Orbit A remarkable now planet around a Solar-like star (16 Cygnet B) has been discovered by Drs. Geoff Marcy and Paul Butler of SFSU, and Drs. Bill Cochran and Artie Hatzes of the University of Texas - two teams working independently. This planet orbits its star with the most extreme "eccentricity" (i .e ., oblong shape) ever found for any planet, e = 0.6 , on a scale of 0 to 1. All of the planets in ...
66. Forum: In Defence of the Saturn Theory C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the mythical motifs associated with the ancient planetary gods can be explained in terms of an ordinary Solar System' [2 ]. The key is viewing the cosmos from the perspective of the ancient skywatchers themselves: We just need to get inside the thinking of the ancients - and their world-view was a basically astrological one. By carefully observing the planets, and their movements, speed and colour, they could derive clues about the nature and character of the gods' [3 ]. As star witness, James calls Hesiod, the Boeotian poet who knew Kronos as the King of the Gods'. In his Works and Days, Hesiod had included the famous parable on the Ages ...
67. RECONSTRUCTING THE SATURN MYTH [Journals] [Aeon]
... then modern man has gravely misunderstood his own past and failed altogether to recognize the drama of human origins- the events by which man became man. I have called it "the theory of the Saturn myth," a rather untidy use of language perhaps, though the roots of the thesis do lie in the study of myth, and the planet Saturn does loom as a central figure in the argument. In the broadest sense, what I have proposed is an explanation of mythical phenomena as a whole. As will be immediately apparent, however, this explanation requires some extraordinary concessions from the various disciplines touched by the theory. Astronomers and astrophysicists, historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and ...
68. Hoerbiger (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... as this book deals with astrophysical aspects which, though they have been touched upon in my previous books, have never been dealt with in detail. According to Hoerbiger, our present Moon has not always been the companion of our Earth# Not so very long ago-say 15,000 years, or from about five to six hundred generations -our planet had no satellite. It was a tranquil heaven which then smiled upon mankind everywhere upon Earth, from the tropics almost toe poles. An almost tideless ocean lapped the shores of the continents of that time. Arts flourished in the states then existing, sciences thrived, and industries prospered. The watchers of the stars followed the courses of ...
69. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... past the orbit of Pluto. Cometary discharges could also occur between the Sun and ionized matter of the zodiacal disc which rings the Sun. The major theoretical result was that charged comet nuclei are attracting the dust and gases in the comet tail and are not melting away as proposed in the IBCM. That is, comets are evolving into the planets, moons, and asteroids of our solar system. Part I further extended concepts introduced in an earlier paper(1 ) that Saturn and its ring system (and Jupiter to a lesser extent) exhibit star-like properties including electrical discharges between its rings and in its atmosphere. The star-like properties are necessarily a result of localized fusion reactions in ...
