... From: Aeon I:1 (Jan 1988) Home | Issue Contents The Electro-gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion Charles Ginenthal Albert Einstein to Immanuel Velikovsky: "The scientists make a grave mistake in not studying your book (Worlds in Collision) because of the exceedingly impor-tant material it contains." (1 ) ABSTRACT A theory is presented that electromagnetism (as repulsion) and gravitation (as attraction) are the concurrent forces of celestial mechanics. It is demonstrated that this approach can explain: rotation, prograde and retrograde, revolution, conservation of angular momentum, all Keplerian motions, elliptical and circular nature of orbiting bodies, the precession of ellipses, the capture and conversion of ...
562. Calendars Revisited [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... changes throughout the paper have been so numerous and sweeping that a change of title seemed in order as well! The 84 theses that constitute the main part of this paper are intended as a guide for those who want a better grasp of the interrelationships of various ancient calendars, especially insofar as they have a bearing upon the work of Immanuel Velikovsky. (1 ) The Julian calendar contains 12 schematic (that is, non-lunar) months: February has 28 days; April, June, September and November have 30 days each; and January, March, May, July, August, October and December have 31 days each. Every fourth year is a leap year, with ...
563. Micah's Ark [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER FOUR Micah's Ark Velikovsky persuasively traces the ruins of Baalbek to the ancient seat of a fine city constructed during the reign of Solomon [1 ]. Baalbek, too, was the second capital of Dan. "The Danites, migrating to the north, took with them Micah and his idol, and it was placed in Dan of the North." (3 .14) The Oracle of Micah probably was set up in the "house of high places," a temple that was built at Dan by Jeroboam "to contest and to surpass the temple of Jerusalem." ( ...
564. Some Implications of Saunders' Lunar Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is at least one account of the Moon behaving in a highly anomalous manner. Saunders makes a good case that Newgrange, Stonehenge and Avebury were first built as lunar observatories but used to observe the Sun too; and he interprets the Newgrange pictographs as illustrating lunar motions. Could he be right? In Worlds in Collision [5 ], Velikovsky cites ancient sources (e .g . Herodotus, Pomponius Mela and Pyramid texts) claiming that the directions of sunrise and sunset had been reversed. From the second book of Herodotus' history, he relates an assertion made to its author by Egyptian priests, that since Egypt became a kingdom – four times in this period (so ...
565. A Classroom Experiment [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 3: (Fall 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered II" Home | Issue Contents A Classroom Experiment H. B. Keller Associate professor of physics St. Olaf College FORUM Editor's Note: In May, 1967, Dr. Velikovsky delivered the Honors Convocation address at St. Olaf College (Minnesota). Several years ago I arranged an interim lecture and discussion group for some 25 juniors and seniors at St. Olaf College to appraise the ideas and criticisms of the writings of Immanual Velikovsky. The group was broadly organized by discipline and included majors from the natural sciences, the behavioral sciences, history, philosophy, and religion. The ...
566. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (vol. E1) $7 .95, Strange Phenomena (vols. G1 and G2) $6 .95 each, Strange Artefacts (vol. M1) $7 .95. Series edited by William R. Corliss and available from the Sourcebook Project, Box 107, Glen Arm, Maryland 21057. The ideas of Immanuel Velikovsky offer challenges to current scientific thinking in many disciplines, so it is only to be expected that Velikovskians will find much material of interest in the Sourcebook Project, which aims at "the collection, organisation and publication of information about unusual phenomena and curious features of the natural world .. . to challenge science with data not easily explained ...
567. Rockenbach's 'De Cometis' and the Identity of Typhon [Journals] [SIS Review]
... SHEFFIELD, DEALING WITH EARLY HEBREW CHRONOLOGY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE DATING OF THE EXODUS. In the Fall 1973 number of Pensée there appeared "A Note or Rockenbach's De Cometis " by Carter Sutherland. The article dealt with the passage in Abraham Rockenbach's essay on comets (published in 1602) in which the comet of Typhon is described. Velikovsky had previously made use or this passage in Worlds in Collisions (the section "The Comet of Typhon") because it supports his assumption that this comet appeared at the time of the Exodus. Dr Sutherland's article gives us an English translation of the entire Latin passage presented by Velikovsky, including a sentence which Velikovsky omitted from his own ...
568. Yet Another Chapter... [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents Yet Another Chapter...Carl Sagan and "Velikovskian frogs" Velikovsky credited with Jupiter prediction at Pioneer 10 news conference On December 2, 1973, a group of' scientists held a news conference at NASA Ames Research Center, the occasion being the fly-by of Pioneer 10 past Jupiter. The following exchange occurred during the news conference. (The ellipses in Sagan's remarks refer to comments he made about the slides being shown.) DR. CARL SAGAN, astronomer, Cornell University ". . . Jupiter is a kind of remnant of the chemistry ...
569. The New Orthodoxy's Respect for Fact [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... DOMESTICATION. Again in DESCENT OF MAN, when describing the behaviour of animals in nature, "many of the cases attributed by Darwin to sexual selection are in fact of a different nature."(9 ) Another of Gould's heroes is a long-dead lawyer named Charles Lyell. To borrow a description that Gould uses in his attempt to smear Velikovsky,(10) Lyell was a man with a gift for words who could spin a persuasive argument about any subject. The subject he chose was geology and his argument came out in a book called PRINCIPLES OF GEOLOGY. It was, says Gould, "one of the most brilliant briefs ever published by an advocate. It is ...
570. Ice Core Evidence [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ice through snowfall. This deposition can be detected either as elevated, specific conductivities measured on melted ice samples or as elevated acidities revealed by an electric current through the solid ice. Every major, known, historically-dated eruption since AD 536 is attested [to] in Greenland ice cores at the correct level....lf, as Velikovsky repeatedly stated, "all volcanoes vomit[ed] lava" at the time of the Exodus..., then unequivocal evidence for such activity would be expected to be found in the Greenland ice cores, but it is not. Volcanic acid fallout in Greenland identified with ancient eruptions in the Velikovskian time frame is comparable in amount ...
