... From: SIS Newsletter 2 (Sep 1975) Home | Issue Contents Omnibus Silent Thought Pensee s ten-issue series "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered" was completed with the winter 1974/75 issue. Insuperable financial problems mean there will be no hope of seeing a resumption of publication in the foreseeable future. Alternative means of continuing the vital debate initiated by Pensee are currently being discussed. The former editor of Pensee , Stephen Talbott, is sounding out reactions to his latest proposals among interested parties: your committee are among those being asked for comments and suggestions. It is hoped that a new publication program will soon be launched, which will make available the fruits of the latest research at ...
512. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (or Holy Office), the membership of which includes Sagan's chief disciples (and alter superegos), the aforementioned Asimov and Gardner. Destroy his fib or sophistry in vain! The creature's at his dirty work again - POPE By far the longest section in Broca's Brain is devoted to Velikovsky and is tediously familiar material, largely consisting of Sagan's "rebuttal" of Velikovsky from the AAAS symposium. This material has gone through even more incarnations than the other essays in the book and seems destined to form a permanent feature of Sagan's annual output. Already widely circulated (particularly to the press) before the symposium, it was ...

... were considered important enough to be discussed by geophysicists in every country of the world. If that does not identify Wegener as a geophysicist, then nothing can, and we must all retire to bedlam." (5 ) But what of the non-scientist, the amateur? Should he also be rejected solely because of his lack of credentials? Velikovsky once remarked that "Science is not licensed." Stephen Jay Gould recently remarked: "It is important that we as working scientists combat [the] myths of our profession as something superior and apart. The myths may serve us well in the short and narrow as rationale for a lobbying strategy- give us the funding and leave ...
514. Science-Fiction and Collective Amnesia: "Dragon's Egg" [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 1 (Fall 1982) Home | Issue Contents Science-Fiction and Collective Amnesia: "Dragon's Egg"Richard J. Jaarsma In Mankind in Amnesia, Immanuel Velikovsky suggests that writers of drama, fiction, and poetry sometimes unconsciously make explicit reference to the great natural catastrophes that, Velikovsky claims, have swept our planet in ancient historical times. He cites, as some examples, passages from Shakespeare, Byron, and Poe which describe not only the events themselves but the unbearable terror such events caused in those who were subjected to them.(1 ) Fiction, Velikovsky asserts, gives us a way of "handling", "tolerating ...
515. The Chronology of the Early Egyptian New Kingdom [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and Ancient History I:2 (Apr 1979) Home | Issue Contents The Chronology of the Early Egyptian New Kingdom Geoffrey Gammon It is generally accepted that the Egyptian XVIIIth Dynasty, which expelled the Hyksos and inaugurated the New Kingdom, began to reign in the 16th century B.C . This consensus has been challenged, notably by Immanuel Velikovsky and Donovan Courville,1 who have separately advanced powerful arguments for lowering this date by some 500 years, to the last quarter of the 11th century B.C . However, it is universally agreed that Egyptian independence was finally extinguished by Artaxerxes III Ochus in 343 B.C . Since there can be no question of any of ...
516. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appear later in 1978. Both books are in Italian and are popular accounts. It will be some years before the scholarly account will appear. HYAM MACCOBY Bell, Book and Cornell The "proceedings" of the AAAS symposium issued by Cornell University Press this Spring - not yet available as we go to press - will contain no material by Velikovsky. As Brian Moore points out elsewhere in this issue, this makes the book more than a little one-sided. As background to this we print here a piece by Frederic B. Jueneman which appeared in the American journal Industrial Research in August 1976, reporting on the situation as it was then. Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky make strange ...
517. A Look At the Evidence [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents A Look At the Evidence Editor's Page Detached evaluation may be the hallmark of true science, but it is difficult to remain dispassionate when contemplating the scientific community's role in "the Velikovsky affair." The libel and character assassination directed at Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky by leading scientists since the publication of his book, Worlds in Collision (1950); the refusal to grant him an opportunity to reply to his critics; the rude failure to acknowledge his correct prediction of "surprising scientific discoveries"; the unwillingness of scientific journals to retract factually erroneous and even ...
518. A Reply to Mr. Cohen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... to which Mr. Cohen refers assist with the dating of Exodus, which is not in dispute by the Glasgow or Courville chronologies. The portion of Velikovsky's solution being challenged by the alternative chronologies is in the post-XVIIIth dynasty era, and is being questioned because of Velikovsky's treatment (often improper) of the written records and archaeological evidence. While Velikovsky places Haremhab during the opening decades of the XIXth dynasty, Gammon places Haremhab as the immediate predecessor of the first three pharaohs of the XIXth dynasty. Thus whatever weaknesses may be contained in Gammon's arguments, it appears impossible to separate Haremhab from a time setting just prior to Ramses I, Seti the Great, and Ramses II. Thus ...
519. Falls of Blood from Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 4 No 1 (Jul 1981) Home | Issue Contents Falls of Blood from Venus Bernard Newgrosh Dr Velikovsky has produced numerous citations from ancient sources to show how falls of a blood-like substance occurred when a "new" comet (later to become the planet Venus) came into catastrophic contact with the Earth:(1 ) the Manuscript Quiche of the Maya, the so-called Papyrus Ipuwer from Egypt and the Book of Exodus all record the fact that the water in the rivers was turned into "blood". In addition to these examples, Dr Velikovsky refers to the Greek myth of Zeus and Typhon, the Finnish epic Kalevala and the lore of ...
520. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... c/o Prof. Warner Sizemore, Glassboro State College, Glassboro, N.J . 08028, U.S .A . 1 year (4 issues): $15.00; overseas $20.00 (airmail). The third issue of Volume IV was published last spring, and contains two pieces by DR VELIKOVSKY and a discussion by DWARDU CARDONA of two megalithic sites (Kintraw and Ballochroy) examined by our contributor EUAN MACKIE in his papers in Pensée, as well as an extended "Forum" and "Vox Populi" section where writers reply to comments from readers. Regrettably, Cardona's contribution appears to have been written under the impression that MacKie's ...
