... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents APPENDIX I On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus In the light of recent discoveries of radio waves from Jupiter and of the high surface temperature of Venus, we think it proper and just to make the following statement. On October 14, 1953, Immanuel Velikovsky, addressing the Forum of the Graduate College of Princeton University in a lecture entitled Worlds in Collision in the Light of Recent Finds in Archaeology, Geology and Astronomy: Refuted or Verified? ' concluded the lecture as follows: The planet Jupiter is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it ...
252. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History I:2 (Apr 1979) Home | Issue Contents A Question of Logic Lester J. Mitcham It is now more than thirty years since the Theses of Immanuel Velikovsky first appeared. Many, myself included, accept their initial concept. With them it is possible to date, with reasonable accuracy, the Exodus, the Hyksos era, and the first portion of the Eighteenth Dynasty. For the last, I am aware there are several different dating methods, but I can agree in principle with Thesis 59 which places Thutmose Ill in the beginning of the ninth century, B.C . What is Velikovsky's chronology for the latter portion of ...
253. Saturday: Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Harold Tresman in 1974. I had seen Pensée and corresponded with C.J . Ransom. Ransom was in communication with Harold and passed on my address to him. Harold made contact and we started a correspondence, finally agreeing that there was some mileage in starting a society. I re-contacted Euan MacKie who had written a remarkable article about Velikovsky in New Scientist and Harold recruited Martin Sieff, a recent history graduate from Oxford. We had a meeting in London and decided to go ahead with the project - unlikely as it seemed at the time. After the meeting, Euan MacKie and I walked back to the tube station and Euan, normally a quiet, very reserved academic ...

Some of them are not vague and do not need interpretations for this result. In fact just the opposite is true. They need to be interpreted if you do not want them to say the Sun rose in the west. Egyptian sources make it clear that the Sun rose where he now sets", and "set where he now rises ...
255. Review, Notes and Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 2: (Spring 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VII" Home | Issue Contents Review, Notes and Letters ARGON DISCOVERED ON MARS Last March 28 Izvestia reported that the Soviet Mars 6 spacecraft detected "several tens of percent of an inert gas" --presumed to be mainly argon- during its descent through the Martian atmosphere. The probe, which rendezvoused with Mars on March 12, touched down in the southern-hemisphere region known as Mare Eyrthraeum. Professor Vassily I. Moroz, head of the Department of Lunar and Planetary Science at Moscow's Space Research Institute, announced the finding. A few days later American scientists connected with the Pioneer 10 project expressed ...
256. Carl Sagan: A Life by Keay Davidson [Journals] [Aeon]
... appearance during one of the Jupiter fly-by festivities at Ames. However, in stark contrast to my own superficial impressions, Davidson apparently had laboriously and devotedly followed his career quite closely and had accumulated a wealth of information from numerous sources that should give greater insights into the complex personality that was Carl Sagan. Because of his studied animosity toward Immanuel Velikovsky, those readers who otherwise knew about or followed his vicissitudes and his generally futile attempts for recognition by the scientific community will probably be somewhat polarized in their appreciation of Sagan the man versus Sagan the celebrity. For an example, just a few years ago at a conference held in Portland, Oregon, an antithetical commentator referred to him ...
257. Velikovsky and the Decline of Medieval Cosmology [Articles]
... Velikovsky and the Decline of Medieval Cosmology Dr. Victor Clube Of the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh: Brian Moore, Chairman of SIS, introduced Dr. Clube: "He has come to our notice through the REVIEW and through WORKSHOP where articles have been reported written by him and others written in collaboration with his colleague Bill Napier on various aspects of terrestrial catastrophism. The ones that we have seen have been largely concerned with catastrophes in geological times, past epochs. He is in fact a Senior Principal Scientific Officer at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh and he is also, the most interesting fact, I think, the author of a forthcoming book called THE COSMIC SERPENT which was ...
258. The Genesis of a Symposium [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 2: (Spring 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VII" Home | Issue Contents The Genesis of a Symposium Walter Orr Roberts, astronomer, atmospheric scientist, and a past-president of the AAAS, was the first publicly to suggest a symposium on Velikovsky's controversial works. After reading a copy of the first issue in Pensee's "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered" series, Roberts wrote to editor Stephen L. Talbott (18 July 1972): Perhaps the AAAS could be interested in holding a symposium on scientific logic using the Velikovsky case as a specific study. Perhaps the symposium should be narrowed down to a smaller point, in order to try to ...
259. Ages Still In Chaos: Defending The Indefensible [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS C & C Review 2003 (Nov 2003) Conference Proceedings Ages Still in Chaos' Home | Issue Contents Ages Still In Chaos: Defending The Indefensible J. Eric Aitchison Eric Aitchison is a long-standing Australian SIS contributor and member. His interest in Velikovsky began in 1967. He is now working on his theory that the Habiru were the Assyrians under Tiglath Pileser III and Sargon II. Mainstream scholars appear to be ignoring the revisionist debate because believe their chronology is without serious fault: some fine-tuning might be necessary here and there but basically it is sound. Rarely do we see any reaction to a challenging paper from C&CR or JACF. At this Conference ...

The atmosphere of the Earth is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, but the clouds above are composed of water vapor. Are the clouds of Venus composed of water? Velikovsky compiled a short list of spectroscopic analyses of the Venusian clouds to determine if they are made of water vapors in some form. The list reads as follows: "The ...
