... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 5 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents FORUM Letters Venus: Whose Baby?I was particularly interested in the articles on Aphrodite by PETER JAMES. I have some comments which may be of interest - all of them, unfortunately, muddying the situation rather than clearing it. First of all, both Aphrodite and Athene are very ancient goddesses - both much older than the Greeks, and older than the time (ca. 1500 BC ) when Velikovsky says that Venus first appeared. Rose (Handbook of Greek Mythology, p. 122) states that Aphrodite was very ancient and her cult was not Greek. Athene is also pre-Greek ...
252. Miscellaneous [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents Miscellaneous Cometary Venus BBC documentary Planetarium programs Radiocarbon dating The April, 1972, issue of Cosmic Electrodynamics carried a paper by Max K. Wallis entitled, "CometLike Interactions of Venus with the Solar Wind." Wallis (department of plasma physics, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) contends that two characteristics of a cometary atmosphere apply also to the plasma flow past Venus. Namely, ionization processes, in adding mass to the plasma flow, 1) cause interaction over an extended region, with a gradual change in flow parameters, and 2) eliminate ...
253. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... review of Scientists Confront Velikovsky in Skeptical Inquirer II:2 and his letter in III:2 , in which the critics were endorsed and supporters, discounted and dismissed. As it turned out, the seemingly impressive technical articles supporting Velikovsky are as lacking in substance as Velikovsky's use of sources that Bob Forrest has convincingly discredited, as in "Venus and Velikovsky" in Skeptical Inquirer (Winter 1983-84). (7 ) Despite all of Velikovsky's footnotes, no credible "historical" evidence for the global cataclysms he described exists. The "wild motions" invoked by Bass in 1974 to explain Velikovsky's orbit shuffling do not apply to planets in our solar system, as T.C ...
... the proposal. Later, Donald Goldsmith, an assistant professor of astronomy at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, wrote to Velikovsky to confirm King's invitation to participate and to discuss an outline for the symposium. Goldsmith said that because of time limitations the symposium should be centered on the nature and motions of the planets, particularly Venus and Jupiter. Although the schedule was tight and specific areas of astronomy were to be discussed, Goldsmith did mention that the committee hoped to work a sociologist to "examine the reception of unpopular scientific ideas". Frederic B. Jueneman is Director of Research for Innovative Concepts Associates of San Jose, author of Limits of Uncertainty', ...

256. Chapter II: The Events [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... history. Use of many Hebrew sources should not be misconstrued as representative of the ratio of abundances of sources from other histories. Also, the sources are considered as historical only, and no theological significance is attached to them. VENUS-EARTH ENCOUNTER ONE After an unknown number of orbits which were uneventful, but probably impressive from the stargazers standpoint, Venus had its first major encounter with the earth about 1450 BC. The results of this encounter were recorded by many ancient cultures, but these events are most noted for being the plagues associated with the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt The first physical evidence was a reddish material falling through the atmosphere. RED Rayleigh showed that practically all the ...
257. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 5 No 1 (1982) Home | Issue Contents Letters Venus, Vanir and the Benu Bird Dear Sir, Workshop Vol. 4, No. 2, September 81, has two letters on the Oera Linda Book, which is all Greek to me. But your editorial comment, paragraph 6, on the Vanir of Norse mythology which relates Vanir to Latin venire and suggests this is akin to "Venus", rang a few bells. Etymological roots are longer lasting than the hardest stone. The Egyptian Benu bird, Ba-i-Nau, from the hieroglyphic Ba- "a leg", shewn euphemistically from the knee down - meaning "leg it ...
258. Science's Unscientific Reception of Velikovsky [Articles]
... of Velikovsky which later are shown to be incorrect. However, it is forgotten that the regulations were wrong, and it is only remembered that Velikovsky was "proven" wrong. At the same time, he is called "unscientific". One of the better known examples of "proof" in 1950 that Velikovsky was wrong was that Venus was only slightly warmer, if any warmer than earth. Therefore, Velikovsky could not be right in claiming that Venus had had a recent catastrophic origin from which it had not had time to cool. However, scientists were basing their claim on faulty interpretation of data and the assumption of uniformity. Now, that everyone knows Velikovsky was ...
259. Return to the Paelo-Saturnian Ssystem (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... appears to have previously been an age of darkness during which modern man made his appearance. What are the different opinions as to when Saturn's seminal flare-up [40] occurred? The Hebrew date for the "let there be light" event as narrated in Holy Scripture is presently set at 5761. Did Saturn's flare-up coincide with the birth of Venus and/or Earth's capture by the Sun? I'm somewhat confused as to when the Saturnian system started orbiting the Sun (with the "moons" of Saturn trailing after their primary). Did the break-up occur immediately at that point, or did the paradisiacal epoch last a while into the Sun's reign of the system? How, ...
260. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... but sought other tests requiring the use of equipment that he did not have access to. For instance, over a ten-year period he corresponded with several institutions - universities, museums, laboratories - trying to persuade someone to perform radiocarbon tests on Egyptian artifacts of the New Kingdom, without success. He also sought unsuccessfully to have the spectrogram of Venus analysed for heavy molecules of hydrocarbon. One wonders here, as in the case of other folk heroes, ' whether a condition of accepting with grave seriousness the rationalistic doctrine is to be innocent of experience of the world wherein the doctrine operates. Velikovsky, having had no university appointment or foundation grant, was more tenacious in his adherence ...
