... his planetary "alignment is feasible according to the laws of Newtonian gravitation" (top of p.40). Note that only gravitational forces enter into his orbit computations; magnetic interactions are only invoked to precess the earth's spin axis at 360 /yr to keep it pointed at Saturn. The paper shows that the radial (from the sun) gravitational-force components give the required centripetal acceleration for Jupiter and Saturn to maintain same-period (synchronous) circular orbits around the sun. This part of his theory is basically correct; Appendix A below derives slightly more exact requirements on the planetary distances. But Grubaugh's paper gives no analysis concerning the destabilizing effects of the transverse (to the radius ...
... been able to discuss with more or less fulness the stars- very few in number- to which the temples in both Upper and Lower Egypt were probably oriented, and further, the astronomical requirements which they were intended to fulfil, we are in a position to consider several questions of great interest in relation to the earliest observations of the sun and stars. One of the first among these questions is whether the complete inquiry throws any light upon the suggestion made on page 85, that in different temples we seem to be dealing with at least two different kinds of astronomical thought and methods; as if, indeed, we were in presence of ideas so differently based that the ...
... | Contents Part Two: The Comet And Its Work V - The Reason Of Sunspots THE cause of sunspots is another vexed question in meteorology, although it should not be so, for when all the circumstances are considered there is no such thing known in the universe as a miracle. Nature cannot possibly defy its own laws and accordingly the sun would not be able to maintain its heat and sustain its satellites unless in turn its fires were stoked. Whatever be the requirements of this vast incandescent ball of fire, 880 000 miles in diameter, no one can say, but apparently these necessities are satisfied because if there be any great diminution of solar heat it is so gradual ...
... scientists firmly believed that all the planets were formed in their present orbits; rnanv of them ridiculed Velikovsky for suggesting otherwise. However, bv 1960 W. H. McCrea, who at the time was President of the Roval Astronomical Society, published a theoretical argument that no planet could originally have formed from a solar nebula any closer to the Sun than the orbit of,Jupiter. 1 Later J. G. Hills attempted to show that no planet could initially have formed outside the orbit of' Saturn.2 Between the appearances of these papers, H. Alfven, who later received the Nobel Prize in physics, theorized that the giant planets may have been formed before the ...

... accelerate differently than uncharged or grounded ones. 2) Reversal of charge on the pendulum produced an additional variation of acceleration. 3) Increased charge caused further variation of acceleration. 4) The experiment when carried out during the different seasons of the year caused variations of acceleration in 1, 2 and 3 above. 5) Eclipses of the Sun and Moon produced more variations of acceleration. Because the result differed so greatly from gravitational expectations, Saxl stated, "The physicist hesitates to form a working hypothesis. Having accounted reluctantly to the conclusion that there may exist variations in g (gravity) even if such cannot be noted with grounded quasi-stationary instruments . .. .When working ...
226. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Mother-of-all-Things and associated with creation[6 ]. However, in Mesoamerica the main deity to be associated with the Morning Star is Quetzalcoatl and his characteristics are far removed from those we have considered so far. Quetzalcoatl, and his Mayan equivalent Kukulcan, as Morning Star appears to be a protective god because he precedes and therefore brings up the Sun[7 ,8 ]. The Pawnee similarly regarded the Morning Star, which they associated with the colour red[9 ]. Conversely they regarded the Evening Star as evil and dangerous as it pushes the Sun down and brings darkness. Its associated colour is black. The Evening Star of the Mesoamericans is Xolotl, a dark and ...

228. Velikovsky and the Decline of Medieval Cosmology [Articles]
... that these stars never bounce into each other, that even though there are a lot of them and they are all milling around, the chance of an encounter between stars is a very rare event indeed, in fact it's almost impossible for it to happen within the lifetime of the Galaxy. Astronomers got very used to the idea that the Sun in particular was all alone in the Galaxy and never came near to anything, and this certainly encouraged the idea that the Solar System doesn't do any interacting with the rest of the Galaxy. That's an important thing to know or to recognise, what underwrites many professional astronomers' view of the Universe. Now things are changing, and ...
229. CHZ and Solar System Stability [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 2 No 2 (1994) Home | Issue Contents CHZ and Solar System Stability Charles Ginenthal In 1984, C. Leroy Ellenberger raised the issue of the "Continuously Habitable Zone" (CHZ) as an argument against placing the Earth in an orbit closer to the Sun than that of Venus. (1 ) Ellenberger states: To appreciate the precarious position of the Earth today, it should be borne in mind that, without the atmosphere, the average temperature would be well below the freezing point of water, just as it is on the Moon. If Earth actually was so close to the Sun as 0.7 AU [( Astronomical ...

From: Aeon V:1 (Nov 1997) Home | Issue Contents Vox Popvli Some Thoughts on the Saturnian Sun and Polar Column Mike Twose, from Toronto, Ontario, writes: In reading Ev Cochrane's interesting article on the Milky Way, [1 ] it occurred to me that no one, that I know of, has delved into the conditions that must have influenced the gases and dust that must have stretched between Earth and Saturn during the time of the Saturnian configuration. [2 ] In the beginning, the difference in electrical charge between the two planets must have been quite large. The flow of current through the ionized gases would have been enough to create ...
