... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 1 (Fall 1984) Home | Issue Contents The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet David Talbott and Ev Cochrane Copyright (c ) 1984 by David Talbott and Ev Cochrane 1. Introduction It has been nearly 35 years since Immanuel Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision, thus provoking one of the great scientific controversies of the twentieth century. In the intervening years, most of the world's leading astronomers have registered their opinions on the subject. Their consensus boils down to this: A) Velikovsky was treated poorly, but B) that is no reason to take his claims seriously. Not so long ago, however, much of the present speculation among ...

... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents "VELIKOVSKY'S CHALLENGE TO SCIENCE" AAAS symposium will attempt an evaluation of Velikovsky's work, focusing on "the nature and origin of the planets." Review Compendium More than 20 years ago Immanuel Velikovsky concluded, from his studies of historical and archaeological records, that close encounters between Earth and the planets Venus and Mars occurred near 1500 B.C . and 775 B.C . Velikovsky's suggestions differed greatly from the generally accepted view of the solar system, and many astronomers and historians considered his conception to be fallacious. Although an attempt was made to ...

From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents Magnetic Remanence in Lunar Rocks A Candid Look at Scientific Misbehavior Robert Treash Robert Treash teaches at San Diego Evening College Prior to the first Apollo moon landing July 21, 1969, Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky on three occasions successfully predicted the scientifically unexpected- that remanent magnetism would be discovered in the lunar rocks. Outlining his ideas in a memorandum submitted to H. H. Hess, chairman of the Space Science Board, National Academy of Science, on May 19, 1969, Velikovsky wrote: "The moon was repeatedly heated and its entire surface melted less than ...

385. The Knowledge Industry [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Dr. Sylvia Konigsberg From: Professor Alfred de Grazia Subject: A proposal for a summer Institute on Primeval Catastrophe and the Development of Human Nature A large and increasing public is interested in the theory that ancient astrophysical and geophysical disasters caused profound changes in the human environment and human nature. Much of the interest centers around the work of Immanuel Velikovsky and his school of thought. Wherever Velikovsky appears to speak, his supporters and critics assemble by the hundreds and even thousands. His sole talk at NYU drew hundreds of students and professors several years ago. I have worked for a decade on problems raised by Dr. Velikovsky since the publication of my book, "The Velikovsky Affair ...

... entitled "On the Placement of Haremhab: A Critique of Gammon", together with an editorial note by Professor Lewis M. Greenberg.(1 ) Both writers commented unfavorably on an article published in the SIS Review (III:2 ), in which I departed radically from the chronological placement proposed for this pharaoh by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky in his as yet unpublished Assyrian Conquest.(2 ) The correct placement of Haremhab in the sequence of Egyptian kings and dynasties is crucial to the development of any chronology whose starting point is the radical revision put forward by Velikovsky in Volume I of Ages in Chaos.(3 ) I am therefore grateful to the editor for this ...
387. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the Proceedings Brian Moore Chairman, S.I .S . 1982- According to G. K. Chesterton, the problem with Christianity was not that it had been tried and found wanting, but that it had been found hard and not tried. In the field of scholarship the same might be claimed for the ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky. The most convoluted and protracted debate in the history of science, the "Velikovsky Affair" has generated thousands of articles and numerous books and radio and TV documentaries, yet when one subtracts from this mass of controversy the ad hominem denunciation, the arguments from authority, the misreporting, the distortion and the downright error, that fraction ...

He states that, "radar observations reveal enormous linear mountain ranges, ringed basins and a great rift valley, with dimensions of hundreds to thousands of kilometers. It is very unlikely that such extensive tectonic or impact features could be stably supported over a liquid interior by ...
