... one which is still unfolding. This paper can be no more than a sketch of a sketch of it. Those who wish to know more can best begin by reading "The Velikovsky Affair," ed. A. de Grazia. A book called Worlds in Collision was published in the USA in 1950. According to its author, Venus as a planet is only some 3,500 years old. The proto-planet, in effect an enormous comet, had originated, at some earlier time, by disruption from Jupiter. It moved for centuries on a very eccentric orbit, and about 1500 B.C . made its two closest approaches to the Earth. During the eighth ...
262. Letters [Journals] [Pensee]
... bibliographic effort will include a rechecking and/or renovation of some of the footnote references, e.g . in Worlds in Collision, because some discrepancies do remain there throughout all its editions. With these discrepancies in mind I would like to offer two comments in connection with the Lynn E. Rose article, (" Babylonian Observations on Venus," winter, 1973). (1 ) Rose gives full recognition of the fact that the Venus Ammizaduga tablets contain a good share of internal contradictions and errors-above and beyond the idea that irregularities of the path of Venus may be recorded in them. Scribal errors, for example, are common in both mathematical and astronomical tablets of ...

265. Straka: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... the earth. (A yearly salary of $ 10,000, multiplied by a trillion, amounts to 10 quadrillion; with three billion people on Earth, it amounts to over three million dollars per person.) With the rotational kinetic energy improperly reported, none of Straka's subsequent calculations is true. "If a mass the size of Venus were to come within three Earth radii, the time to slow the Earth to a stop is 8000 years," and the like. Straka also writes: "Similar results obtain for a magnetic interaction," and without producing any calculation, he claims: "The magnetic field energy required is of the order of the total energy ...

267. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of this, although Plato wrote about it many years ago. It gives support to Velikovsky, and should make us look more closely at the extensive evidence he quotes for disturbances to the axis of rotation of the Earth, even if this is generally regarded as merely legendary. The same issue of New Scientist showed NASA artists' view of Venus (p410) and the comment below the picture about the Velikovskian cult' seems uncalled for. The planet is regarded as geologically young and the features in the illustration could have been formed in a few tens of thousands of years, I would have thought, if the planet is cooling rapidly from an incandescent core, or part core ...

... From: SIS Review Vol VI No 4 (1984) Home | Issue Contents Letters Come Again?In his "What's in a Name? - Venus The Newcomer'", Malcolm Lowery writes that "Dr Velikovsky frequently asserted (see for example his Retrospect' in SISR III:2 ) that the name of the planet [Venus] means newcomer' in Latin" (SISR V:2 , p. 46). I shall be most grateful to Mr Lowery for citing a few specific references in support of his claim that Dr Velikovsky frequently asserted any such thing. I looked in vain through "Retrospect" in SISR III:2 , as well as ...
269. An Ancient Latin Name for Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 2 (Winter 1981) Home | Issue Contents An Ancient Latin Name for Venus Jan N. Sammer Venus, in its aspect as the Morning Star, was known to the early Romans as Iubar; not until much later did Lucifer, "the bringer of light", replace Iubar as the designation of the planet Venus in its morning aspect.(l ) Latin writers derived Iubar from the word iuba, meaning "hair". Varro wrote: eadem stella vocatur iubar quod iubata- "this star is called iubar because it is hairy".(2 ) Varro and Festus compared the Morning Star's hair to a lion's ...
