1. The Titius-bode Law of Planetary Distances - its History and Theory [Journals] [Pensee]
... Tendentious certainly, but still far short of scientific proof that a formula is a Law. What is called Bode's Law was in fact first given by J. D. Titius von Wittenberg in 1766. He gratuitously inserted it as an added note in the main text of a volume he was translating from French to German. In 1772 J ... E. Bode appropriated it as a footnote in a book of his own without crediting Titius, although he did so later. But historical priority for the concept of regular planetary spacing belongs neither to Bode nor to Titius, the idea having appeared as early as 1595 in Kepler's musings over nested spheres and regular polygons. Newton (1642-1726) ...
2. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... back into Velikovskian research. He is a wonderful speaker and a walking encyclopaedia of celestial mechanics and everything else related to the subject. He talked about the mathematical derivation of Titius Bode's Law (more usually only known as Bode's Law, though Bode himself gave due credit to Titius, also a German astronomer, who preceded him). He ... various mathematical formulas that proved or disproved the possibility of the Solar System being stable. Bass seems to have found indications that planets might become unstable and depart from the Solar System. He quoted Philip Morrison, who said that Mercury was the next to depart. A quotation from Bass: There are very few points in the Solar System where ...
... planets from the Sun. It is commonly called Bode's law, but it is not really a law and was not even discovered by Bode. It was originally discovered by Titius and is more properly called the Titius-Bode formula. The formula is generally given as r = m+ 4 x .3 /277. The letter r represents the ... remember the approximate relative distances of the planets from the Sun. It is commonly called Bode's law, but it is not really a law and was not even discovered by Bode. It was originally discovered by Titius and is more properly called the Titius-Bode formula. The formula is generally given as r = m+ 4 x .3 / ...
4. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... , and Saturn- and then invented his scheme involving the five regular solids to explain why there could be only those six bodies. And in the eighteenth century, when Titius was working on his law and Bode was stealing it, the properties of the known bodies were examined first, and then the artificial mathematical formula now known as " ... Law"- was developed in an effort to rationalize what was already known (see C. J. Ransom, "Bode's Law Without Venus," Pensée IVR VIII, page 7). Very little in the way of human art, custom, religion, or science is based on free invention or imagination. Most of it is ...
5. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... of nature had a tinge of Pythagorean occult knowledge from the very beginning. It appeared for the first time in print in 1766, when J. D. Tietz (Titius), a professor at the University of Wittenberg, who wrote on many subjects, particularly physics and biology, but whose main interest was natural theology, gratuitously inserted ... into Bonnet's Contemplation de la nature which he was translating into German. Then J. E. Bode, the professional astronomer who championed the nebular hypothesis about the origin of the solar system, in 1772 entered it as a footnote to one of his books; but later he gave credit for it to Tietz. There is a possibility that ...
