... us back to the arguments of William Gilbert (1544-1603) and Johann Kepler (1571-1630)[1 ]. The newness of the revolution is evinced by the Einstein-Velikovsky correspondence wherein the former soon accepted as tenable the hypothesis of global catastrophes and, though originally quite opposed, at last became sympathetic even to the hypothesis of a recent origin of Venus as a planet. However, he persistently rebutted to the end of his life all argument that electricity and magnetism affect the motions of heavenly bodies. Whereas astronomers are perplexed at the implication of the new picture of the universe as derived from the space probes, Velikovsky has been clear from the very beginning. In one of the first ...

153. The Birth Of Venus, Part 1 Venus Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Birth Of Venus A planet turns and revolves on a quite circular orbit around a greater body, the sun; it makes contact with another body, a comet, that travels on a stretched out ellipse. The planet slips from its axis, runs in disorder off its orbit, wanders rather erratically, and in the end is freed from the embrace of the comet. The body on the long ellipse experiences similar disturbances. Drawn off its path, it glides to some new orbit; its long train of gaseous substances and stones is torn away by the sun or by the ...
154. Did Worlds Collide [Journals] [Pensee]
... As demonstrated in the text in considerable detail, it is perfectly possible, according to Newton's Laws of Dynamics and Gravitation when three or more bodies are involved, for planets to nearly collide and then relax into an apparently stable Bode's Law type of configuration within a relatively short time; therefore Velikovsky's historical evidence cannot be ignored. If one started Venus in an orbit lying entirely between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, with precisely the appropriate initial position and velocity, it would within less than two decades work its way inward into an orbit lying entirely between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. (This follows from observations of the comet Oterma III and the fact that, in the ...
155. The Cornell Lecture: Sagan on A Wednesday [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... many of the same themes and claims that resurfaced at the A.A .A .S . Symposium in February of 1974- and on other days as well. On Wednesday, March 28, 1973, the much-traveled Dr. Sagan stopped off at Cornell University, where he spends some of his time, and gave a lecture on "Venus and Velikovsky." Although the lecture was part of a freshman course on General Astronomy taught by Frank Drake, it was publicized in advance and persons not connected with the course attended. The following quotes and comments are based on a transcript of the taped lecture. In subsequent years, Sagan has repeated his lecture, for the " ...

157. Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 2 No 2: (May 1972) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered I" Home | Issue Contents Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered Lewis M. Greenberg Lewis Greenberg is an assistant professor of the history of art, Franklin and Marshall College. I present here a new thesis pertaining to the worship of Aten by the heretic king, Akhnaten. Despite all the political and religious reasons given for that Pharaoh's dramatic shift from the worship of Amen and other gods, to the almost exclusive worship of Aten, there is still something elusive concerning the substantive motive for the change, for choice of deity, and for the meaning of- and extreme reaction against- ...
158. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol V No 2 (1980/81) Home | Issue Contents The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System V. AXEL FIRSOFF It is not only Velikovskians who have noted problems in explaining certain of the Venus findings on the basis of current theory. The suggestion reprinted here, though non-Velikovskian in viewpoint and time-frame, proposes a startling departure from theory. Reprinted from Solar System Today Vol. II No. 3 (September 1980), by permission of author and publisher. The atmosphere and axial rotation of Venus present various problems. The usual assumption that planetary and satellite bodies must have lost their volatile constituents in function of their ...
159. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... the relationship between Velikovsky and literature merits the most serious consideration by anyone who honestly want to know why we, as human beings, do the sort of collective things we do. Antony and Cleopatra is a play saturated with catastrophic images and themes . First, Antony is consistently associated with Hercules and identified with Mars, as Cleopatra is with Venus and Isis. Their love, therefore, and the perturbation which it causes, is portrayed as an attraction between heavenly bodies which threatens the earth. Antony glows like plated Mars, 1.1 .4 , he is Herculean, 1.3 .84, his faults shine like stars in the sky, 1.4 . ...
160. What Caused Venus And Mars To Shift Their Orbits?, Part 2 Mars Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents What Caused Venus And Mars To Shift Their Orbits?WHEN VENUS BECAME a new member of the solar system, it moved on a stretched ellipse, and for centuries imperiled the other planets. Because of its dangerous circling, Venus was diligently observed in both hemispheres, and records were kept of its movement. In the last centuries before this era, the 225-day year of Venus, and apparently also its orbit, were practically the same as in modern times. As early as the second half of the seventh century before this era, Venus, watched until then with anxiety, had ...
