... Thrice did the god [Jupiter] thunder from a cloudless sky, thrice did he hurl his bolts."(277) Lucretius' disclaimer and Pliny's reconciliation do not detract from the fact that the general opinion among the ancients was that thunderbolts were capable of being discharged by the three superior, "upper", or outer planets: Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. As the 17th/18th century Italian philosopher, Giambattista Vico, said of the thunderbolts of Jove, "an idea so universal and persistent must refer to an intense experience suffered in the past".(278) Planetary thunderbolts have now entered the pages of astronomy. The continuing exploration of planets at ...
432. Aeon Volume V, Number 1: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sun in concentric bands, the slow shrinkage of which would have swept the ecliptic clear of such remnants. PAGE 23 Quantalism: The Big Picture- by Roger W. Wescott An essay on the etymological origins behind cenocatastrophism which attempts to shed light on animal and human behavior as well as the vocabulary and metaphors of violence. PAGE 33 The Saturn Thesis- (Part 4) The conclusion of AEON's interview with DavidTalbott, who continues to clarify the role of the Radiant Venus in its physical association as a planetary member of the Saturnian configuration. PAGE 57 Stairway to Heaven- by Ev Cochrane In his drive to dispel one of the main objections against the identification of the ancient deities ...
433. The Origin and Evolution of the Comets and Other Small Bodies in the Solar System [Journals] [Kronos]
... Laplace problem', statistics of cometary perihelia, and the kinematics of the cometary system leave no doubt that all comets, and consequently the products of their disintegration, were created within the solar system, and, on the average, more recently than the planets. (2 ) The existence of the families of short-period comets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and in particular the fact that Jupiter's comets were invariably in the vicinity of Jupiter not too long before discovery, demonstrate the recent formation of these comets by eruption in the planetary system. Jupiter's satellites are likely to be the immediate source of the youngest comets of the Jupiter family. The recent detailed investigations ...
434. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... an unpublished idea of Velikovsky's, considered in early SIS publications, (see The Primordial Light', Tresman and O'Gheoghan, SISR II No. 2, and Geological Genesis', Tresman, C&CW 1993:1 ) which accepts that prior to the Venus cometary imagery there was an earlier flood mythology which appeared to be associated with Saturn. Many gods translated as Sun gods have characteristics which do not fit our present Sun and seem better explained by another radiant body, which myth consistently points to as being Saturn. The work of Talbott et al has led them to build up a picture of what they think early man saw in the sky, which they have called ...
435. Still Facing Many Problems [Journals] [Kronos]
... After 34 years many problems still remain. From time to time I have included a short list of problems in contributions to Velikovskian publications in the hope of stimulating discussion. These lists have included such problems as: What third-body trajectories would not set the Moon free during close encounters with Earth? How does Venus possibly being a "child of Saturn" alter the sequence of planetary orbits and the conservation of angular momentum? Exactly how could Earth have executed a tippe top-like geographical inversion as implied by Worlds in Collision? How could Mars engage in so many close encounters and still end up with two small satellites whose orbits look as though they have not been disturbed for millions of years ...
436. Epilogue (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... in accord with Velikovsky's concept of the recent history of the solar system, while the conventional views had to be revised, re-evaluated, or supported with ad-hoc explanations. The electromagnetism that astronomers disparaged in 1950 has come to be seen as playing a major role in cosmic processes. Youthful features have been found on Venus and Mars. Jupiter and Saturn have been found to be considerably more active than the cold, dead planets they were thought to be. Recent space data have led some astronomers to consider that Mercury, and the satellites of Saturn underwent major orbital changes. Repeated major faunal extinctions are now thought to have been caused by extraterrestrial impacts. Even in the field of archaeology ...
437. Thoth Vol II, No. 10: June 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... discovered the mind of God, but only to find no one cares. Interest shifts to the unexplained and to the unknown. The demand grows for a new paradigm to show the way to new things in new places. It's time for science to shop for a new puzzle. So here's another pitch for my pet paradigm: The Electric Saturn Super Model promises a lot of fun. It can explain not only a shopping-cart-full of anomalies, but it can re-organize the clutter of ad-hoc explanations in the Establishment Store onto shelves of predictable phenomena. It replaces an empty, lifeless universe with a historical, lightning-filled one. There are things to do: The physics and astronomy of isolated ...
438. Circling the Rings [Journals] [Aeon]
... angle between the plane of the body's orbit and the plane of the ecliptic. Eccentricity is a measure of how far an orbit differs from a circle (e = 0). Asteroids as Rings Asteroids are small bodies revolving around the Sun, with orbits lying mostly between Mars and Jupiter. Before the current era of space exploration, when Saturn had the only known ring system, astronomers sometimes called the asteroids a solar ring system. The comparison had some validity because the orbits of both the asteroids and Saturn's rings cluster in belts with empty regions between, and astronomers linked these gaps to resonances with the nearby orbits of more massive bodies. Astronomers of course recognized differences as well ...
439. Orbits And Their Measurements [Journals] [Kronos]
... a = 10 (with a = 1 lying midway between, since the scale for a is logarithmic). Any elliptical orbit between one-tenth and ten times the size of Earth's orbit thus corresponds to a unique point on the grid in Figure 5. The points representing the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are marked on the grid. It can be seen, for example, that Venus has the least eccentricity, Mercury has the greatest eccentricity and also the smallest orbit, and Saturn has the largest orbit, of the six planets shown. The orbits of asteroids and some short-period comets could also be represented on the grid. In order ...
440. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... was regarded as inauspicious; no business was transacted on that day, and even kings would not attend' to their bodies' until nightfall." V is here using section 12 of "Isis and Osiris", Goodwin's version of which reads as follows: "They tell us how that once on a time, Rhea having accompanied with Saturn by stealth, the Sun found them out. The sun pronounced a solemn curse against her, containing that she should not be delivered in any month or year; but that Hermes, afterwards making his court to the goddess, obtained her favour, in requital of which he went and played at dice with the moon, and won ...
