... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents The Synthesis of Manna Wong Kee Kuong Forum As Velikovsky has shown, manna (ambrosia) fell on many parts of the world. All narratives agree that manna was cosmic in origin, white in colour, sweet, fragrant, oily, and syrup-like. It was compared with oatmeal, corn, milk and honey, soma, and bread. From what can be gathered, it appears that manna is a kind of carbohydrate mixed with fragrant chemicals. Velikovsky contends that during Venus' encounter with Earth ca. 1500 B.C ., our planet ...
572. Did Worlds Collide [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 3: (Summer 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VIII" Home | Issue Contents Did Worlds Collide Robert W. Bass Copyright 1974 by Robert W. Bass Bode's Law and the established principles of celestial mechanics do not preclude planetary near-collisions in the recent past. Dr. Bass, a Rhodes Scholar, took his doctorate in 1955 under the late Aurel Wintner- then the world's leading authority on celestial mechanics. He undertook three years of post-doctoral research in nonlinear mechanics at Princeton under National Medal of Science winner, Solomon Lefschetz. In the late Fifties he developed a new principle in celestial mechanics which not only gives a dynamical explanation for Bode's law ...
573. Velikovsky and Tangun [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XI:2 (July 1989) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky and Tangun Duane Leroy Vorhees 1. Introduction Immanuel Velikovsky and his successors, the so-called Saturnists in particular, have challenged conventional notions about the history of our solar system. According to their analyses of ancient myths and other records, within human memory the Earth was badly damaged by cosmic disturbances involving planetary bodies. Velikovsky's own brand of catastrophism evolved out of his equally revolutionary revision of ancient chronology. According to his scenario, around 1500 B.C . the close fly-by of a cometary Venus caused widespread terrestrial destruction and closed a cultural era. In response, survivors created or transformed ...
574. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , and plates 38-40 depict astral bodies as "circles of fire", "compressed wool of fire", "red-hot masses of stone or metal" and "petals of fire". These quotes are from pre-Socratic Greek philosophers, and Mrs Haight wonders: "what other silent testimony archaic Greek vases might hold for the theories of Dr Velikovsky ". Indeed! CATASTROPHIST EVOLUTION, A MARXIST PHILOSOPHY?We reported (WORKSHOP 3:2 , p.20) on Dr Beverly Halstead's objection to the British Museum of Natural History staging exhibitions on evolution along non-conventional, anti-Darwinist lines. Recently this same person has managed to get himself a lot of publicity, fortunately not all of ...
575. In Memoriam: Elisheva Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 1 (Fall 1983) Home | Issue Contents In Memoriam: Elisheva Velikovsky (July 27, 1895 - June 24, 1983) Towards the end of the Preface to Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky wrote: "Many an author has dedicated his book to his wife or mentioned her in the preface I have always felt this was somewhat ostentatious, but now that this work is being published, I feel I shall be most ungrateful if I fail to mention that my wife Elisheva spent almost as much time on it at our desk as I did. I dedicate this book to her." Those words were truly and richly ...
576. "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 2 (Winter 1977) "Velikovsky and Establishment Science" Home | Issue Contents "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber Lynn E. Rose [ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This critique of Huber draws very heavily upon joint research and writing done during the past six years with Raymond C. Vaughan. This is especially true of the Ninsianna section (to appear in a later installment), but there is no section of the paper that has not benefitted from Vaughan's valuable corrections, clarifications, and suggested additions of further materials.] Peter Huber's assignment at the A.A .A .S . was to produce what he ...

578. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Even a reading of Velikovsky's opponents makes this evident: in a register of successes reading like the familiar statement of Velikovsky's friend Harry Hess, William J. Slummer wrote (Science, 14.3 .1969, p. 1191): "Some of the least expected discoveries made by planetary astronomers in recent years were correctly predicted by Velikovsky. He argued that Jupiter should be a strong source of radio waves, that the earth should have a magnetosphere, that the surface of Venus should be hot, that Venus might exhibit an anomalous rotation, and that Venus should be surrounded by a blanket of petroleum hydrocarbons." Plummer's refusal to accept the validity of the last in ...

... From: The Velikovsky Affair, Edited by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents 5. Astronomical Theory and Historical Data by Livio C. Stecchini Jupiter: Ah Venus, Venus! Is it possible that you will ever consider our condition even once, and yours in particular? Do you think that what humans imagine about us is true, that he among us who is old is always old, that he who is young is always young, that he who is a boy is always a boy, and thus we eternally continue as we were when first taken into heaven; and that just as paintings and portraits of ourselves on earth are always seen unchanged, so likewise ...

... moons we have a system not unlike the solar family. The planet is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that it sends out radio noises as do the sun and the stars." (Earth in Upheaval, Supplement: "Recent Finds in Astronomy".) In correspondence with Albert Einstein, Velikovsky (June 1954) repeated his view that Jupiter is not an inert gravitational body, and that it would be found to emit radio noises of electromagnetic (non-thermal) origin; and he offered to stake their debate on the role of electromagnetism in the mechanics of the solar system on this claim. (See Velikovsky's "On the Advance ...
