... From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents From: Recollections of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Recollections of a Fallen Sky: Velikovsky and Cultural Amnesia Foreword Earl Milton On Saturday afternoon 11 May 1974, the University of Lethbridge conferred upon Immanuel Velikovsky the honourary degree of Doctor of Arts and Science in recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of his scholarship. In awarding this degree the University was recognizing a world famous scholar whose work epitomizes the ideology of the University: that interdisciplinary studies have value. For two day preceding the convocation ceremony, the University was host to an international symposium which ...
262. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 5 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST Copyright (c ) Society for Interdisciplinary Studies, 1977. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to draw the attention of ancient historians and archaeologists, particularly those concerned with Biblical and Near Eastern Studies, to Ages In Chaos', by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky. This book was first published in 1953, after its author had already achieved a certain notoriety among professional astronomers and astrophysicists by the radical nature of the hypotheses advanced in Worlds In Collision', in which the most fundamental assumptions about the solar system and its history had been questioned. Ages in Chaos' deliberately left aside the issues ...
263. Iraqi Crater & Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2002:1 (Sep 2002) Home | Issue Contents Iraqi Crater & Immanuel Velikovsky John Spiers CCNet 12 Nov 2001 Dr. Peiser, Given the recent discovery in Iraq, is it safe yet in academia to say Velikovsky was on the right track? John Spiers, Seattle, WileyCCC@aol.com Moderator's Note: While the conspicuous Al Amarah structure awaits detailed inspection and analysis, there can be no doubt in my mind that Immanuel Velikovsky was indeed on the right track - regardless of the geological origin of the Iraqi crater and despite Velikovsky's planetary gobbledygook. I sympathise with Sir Fred Hoyle's rather generous and far-sighted summary of Velikovsky's place in science ...
264. William Comyns Beaumont: Britain's most eccentric and least known Cosmic Heretic [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents William Comyns Beaumont: Britain's most eccentric and least known Cosmic Heretic Did Immanuel Velikovsky knowingly present ideas someone else had developed many years earlier as his own? While this question seems bizarre even to his most ardent opponents, it was recently raised in a paper by Robert Stephanos [1 ]. Hardly anybody has questioned the originality of Velikovsky's ideas of planetary catastrophes in historical times. While some critics have said that Velikovsky was mean with his acknowledgements of earlier catastrophists [2 ] and others have argued that the claims of Velikovsky's originality were spurious because earlier authors had written about cometary catastrophes ...

267. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 3: (Fall 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered V" Home | Issue Contents Letters MAINTAINS SCHOLARLY OBJECTIVITY To The Editor: I think it is important to make clear that as regards the Velikovsky reconstructed chronology, I maintain a scholarly objectivity. I believe the theory is worth serious consideration- that is, one must seriously consider to what extent this hypothesis "saves the appearances." The scientific Establishment has not, in my opinion, done this. But on the other hand, objectivity demands an admission that there are facts which the Velikovsky hypothesis does not cover, or covers less effectively than conventional chronology. What is required is not ...
268. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:6 (1991) Home | Issue Contents A Personal Reminiscence (1 ) Lloyd Motz In 1950 Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, an M.D . (psychiatrist) from Moscow University, biblical scholar, Egyptologist, papyrologist, selftaught physicist and astronomer (with many gaps in this phase of his education), linguist, writer, lecturer, and a most stubborn opponent in a debate, published Worlds in Collision, a book that stirred a violent tempest in the scientific (particularly, the astronomical) world, and generated a controversy that continued until Velikovsky's death, some thirty years later. This book would probably have caused much less of an uproar ...

He states that, "We now know from ground based radio observations and from the remarkably successful direct entry and landing probes of the Soviet Union that the surface temperature of Venus is within a few degrees of 750 o K. The surface atmospheric pressure is about ninety times that of the surface ...
270. Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 3 No 4 (1997) Home | Issue Contents Confessions Of A Philosophical Velikovskian Hugo Meynell Philosophy is notoriously difficult to define; but it would generally be agreed that it is at least largely a study of the nature and uses of argument. The late Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky made many claims that were, and are, regarded by most professional scientists, and the many thousands of persons who are subject to their ideological influence, as outrageous. I think it is worth giving some attention to the nature of the arguments with which he supported his notorious opinions, and of those which have been used against them by orthodox scientists. About a decade ...
