... Saturn (Part I)Dwardu Cardona Copyright (C ) 1981 by Dwardu Cardona 1. Introduction At the recent San Jose seminar- "Velikovsky and Secular Catastrophism"- I read a paper(1 ) that, among other matters, treated of various inconsistencies to be found in Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision and questioned his belief that the proto-planet Venus was ejected as a cometary body by the planet Jupiter. Despite the fact that able scholars, among them Eric Crew(2 ) and Peter Warlow,(3 ) have accomplished much toward the acceptance of this theory, what is at issue here is not whether such an event could have taken place but whether it ever did. ...
272. Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Abstracts These abstracts of articles are taken from the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Abstract Service (Web address: http://adswww.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html) Spin and atmospheric tides of Venus By Kundt, W., Astronomy and Astrophysics, vol. 60, no. 1, Aug. 1977, p. 85-91. Venus should not constitute an exception to the law that the solar-system secondaries were formed with an initial prograde spin rate of the order of 0.0002 per sec. Reviving Gold's (1964) idea, it is argued that braking by tidal ...
273. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... periods in the second millennium or in the earlier millennia before the present era, a computation based on Censorinus but not on the Canopus Decree that preceded the Latin writer by almost five centuries. But even Censorinus, following the discussion of the Sothic period, wrote about a calendar calculation based on 2484 years that separate one cataclysm from another. VENUS If the length of the year was accurately known in the second and third millennia, the deliberate neglect of a quarter of a day each year and the loss of twenty-five days in a century would have been a deliberate disregard of the degree of exactness attained by the Egyptian priests. Why should the Egyptians have perpetuated such an error through ...
274. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... recently moved upon vastly different orbits and threatened the Earth. In addition to these general claims, Velikovsky also offered the following, more specific, claims: (1 ) The planet Saturn only recently loomed large in the heavens, an indication, presumably, of the Earth's former close proximity to the gas giant; (2 ) The planet Venus only recently presented a comet-like appearance during a particularly spectacular cataclysm; (3 ) The planet Mars only recently participated in epoch-ending cataclysms, inspiring its reputation as a war-god. The latter three claims are entirely without precedent in the annals of human thought and underscore the profoundly original nature of Velikovsky's vision of the recent history of the solar system ...
275. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... affirmed that they were, and the cyclicism in the second millennium B.C . was 52 years,(5 ) whereas, in the first millennium B.C . that cyclicism was fifteen years.(6 ) Why did the cyclicism change? Or was Velikovsky mistaken? Did Velikovksy correctly identify the assaulting planets? He affirmed that Venus assaulted the Earth in the second millennium B.C ., whereas Mars assaulted our planet up to the seventh century B.C . In addition, there are indications he felt that variously Mercury or Saturn had assaulted the Earth in the third millennium. If he was correct how did Venus and Mars, and possibly Mercury or Saturn ...
276. The Evolution of the Cosmogonic Egg [Journals] [Aeon]
... which flow from him in streams of light. He is the universal source of fertility animating and impregnating the Cosmos. (54) It therefore seems that it was from the spewing of the light- the Word, the Seed- that the cosmic egg was formed. If not Saturn's oblate orb, what could this egg have been? Venus Originally, Talbott had identified the cosmic egg as the primeval ring, or band, of light which had encircled the Saturnian orb. (55) More recently, however, he has opted for the planet Venus as the cosmic egg. (56) What follows intends to show that both hypotheses are correct. As readers of this ...
277. Aftermath to Exposure [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of the articles in the Behavioral Scientist, Larrabee called attention to a letter in Science (December 21, 1962) in which Valentin Bargmann, physicist of Princeton University, and Lloyd Motz, astronomer of Columbia University, urged their colleagues to recognize Velikovsky's priority in predicting three highly significant discoveries: (1 ) the high temperature of the planet Venus; (2 ) the emission of non-thermal radio noise by Jupiter; and (3 ) the vast reach of the earth's magnetic field in space. The Bargmann-Motz plea for scientific good sportsmanship won no response in the journals of science [1 and 2], even though almost simultaneously Venus-probe Mariner II eliminated all doubt about the reality of ...
278. Venus As the Dove [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:2 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents Venus As the Dove By Robert Lugibihl Thoth Vol II, No. 11 June 30, 1998 Thinking about the following passages with the idea of the dove symbolizing Venus, they take on a whole new perspective. . . (D )oesn't Noah himself symbolize Saturn? If so, the line "he put forth his hand, and took her [the dove/Venus], and pulled her in unto him into the ark" is particularly interesting. And when the dove/Venus "returned not again unto him any more", it was then safe to venture out into ...
279. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Thus, when I apply his discoveries to my approach, I feel I am simply carrying his materials back to their true source. Cleopatra, says Davidson, is given traditional sets of qualities which relate her, among others, to The Whore of Babylon, a brilliant Queen, the temptress Circe, a provocative gypsy, and the goddess Venus. To this list we must add Velikovsky's Venus, for she is also given the qualities of a fiercely disruptive celestial body. For instance, Davidson describes her as active and hot- so hot that the seeming Cupids on her barge with their fans only make her "delicate cheeks" glow with their sensual warmth.31 She is ...
280. Recent Geology of the Planet Venus [Articles]
... Recent Geology of the Planet Venus Wallace Thornhill Velikovsky made 3 "advance claims" concerning Venus which he considered crucial to his theory of the recent history of Venus: 1. Venus would be hot after its recent birth and encounters with Earth and Mars; 2. Venus should have a massive atmosphere as a result of absorbing gases from its extensive cometary tail; 3. Hydrocarbons would be present in that atmosphere. Both of the first 2 claims were met dramatically when the first planetary probes survived to the surface of Venus. The third claim was partially met when hydrocarbons of many sorts showed up in the initial evaluation of the mass spectrometer on board the Pioneer atmospheric probes. ...
