... know, in research into the paranormal and has been on several television documentaries to do with that. He also appeared in the HORIZON programme about Velikovsky. That is when he first came to the notice of the SIS, and he attended the Glasgow conference at which he gave two papers, one I think supporting Velikovsky's identification of Sothis as Venus and one on the stability of the Solar System. He is an internationally renowned expert on celestial mechanics, and that is the theme of his talk today, so now I hand you over to Dr. Roy. Professor Archie Roy: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. It must be now about thirty years ago when Velikovsky ...
312. Letters To The Edttor [Journals] [Aeon]
... several technical disciplines to demonstrate the possibility or impossibility of the polar configuration concept? R. M. SmithL 370 Tate Avenue Glendora,CA 91741-3563 To the Editor: I wish to comment on the two articles by Dave Talbott and Robert Grubaugh in AEON, vol. III, no. 3, concerning the arguments for Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars being in a polar position relative to the Earth. I found the two articles to be interesting but totally unbelievable for several fundamental scientific reasons, some of which are based on geological studies which I am familiar with. Let me list some of the premises and then outline some problems. Premises: Four basic hypotheses are ...

314. Pleiongaea: A Myth for all Seasons [Journals] [Aeon]
... of these massifs must have a rocky core which is relatively miniscule compared to the gaseous envelopes that we observe. In the case of Jupiter, its core is calculated to be some 20 Earth masses, while that of Neptune is assumed to be close to the size and mass of Earth itself. Thus, the terrestrial planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars- may essentially just display the core remnants of much more extensive gaseous envelopes they may have once enjoyed. Were our planet to have had such an atmospheric envelope approaching some 20,000 km (12,000 mi) in depth with solid Earth at its core, the total diameter would be approximately 52 ...
315. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... may cause the later catastrophes to be virtually invisible in a mythological approach to history. This is the proper line of thinking for any scholar who wishes to reexamine Velikovsky's work- which view throws open the door to the possibility that much of the criticism aimed at Velikovsky's conclusions may be flawed. There very well may have been later catastrophes involving Venus and Mars, much as Velikovsky postulated. Despite its shortcomings, what is remarkable in Velikovsky's tour de force was his ability to perceive catastrophic events where others saw none. This will prove to be either his memorial or his downfall. And even if he should finally be proven wrong regarding the late catastrophes (which I doubt, despite ...
316. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 3 (Jan 1981) Home | Issue Contents Letters NASA AND THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS Dear Sir, Unlike R.M . Lowery in his letter (WORKSHOP 3:1 , p.21), I cannot see any irony in the fact that the features of Venus will be named after "mythical goddesses from various cultures" (NASA NEWS 80-47), or that such names up till now reflect proper names of the planet Venus from these cultures. On the contrary, we are witnessing a typical example of the process of subconscious repression which has resulted in what Velikovsky calls "racial amnesia" insofar as this is an attempt at ...
317. An Introduction to the Evidence of the Panchasiddhantika [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Issue Contents An Introduction to the Evidence of the Panchasiddhantika Michael G. Reade Michael Reade, D.S .C ., a confectionery technologist, is also a specialist in marine navigation. His earlier contributions to the Review have dealt with astronomical records from Egypt. This sixth-century Hindu astronomical manual gives anomalous synodic periods for the planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, as seen from Earth. A preliminary study of the work reveals possible evidence for a 360-day year sometime in the past. The Panchasiddhantika is a Hindu manual of astronomy compiled by Varaha Mihira in about 550 AD. It is generally believed to employ an "epoch" (base date for astronomical calculations) of ...
318. Rebuttal to Ellenberger [Articles]
... Rebuttal to Ellenberger Robert Driscoll The mail in the past week honored me with another mailing from Leroy Ellenberger, and included in it was a flier which said, among other things, "Venus no comet: Cochrane states that Venus was a comet. This is pure poppycock. Venus can never have had a tail and, therefore, looked like a comet because it is too massive and holds its atmosphere. The notion that Venus had a tail is impossible." Quote, Leroy Ellenberger, 6 September 1994 flier. So I remembered something and got out my files and made a copy of it, and the copy is of an article in the 29 March 1974 Science ...
319. A Hypothetical Ancient Telescope [Journals] [Horus]
... most careful painstaking adjustment, the rings of Saturn were beyond the capabilities of this combination of water-filled glass globes. Yet, a more complex optical system of water-filled globes might have resolved it. Additionally, stars were visible in this hypothetical ancient telescope which were not visible to the eye. On August 18, 1978 I aimed the telescope at Venus. One could see the 50% illuminated disk of that world. A crescent Venus would have been still more visible because of its larger angular size. Basically, these experiments show that the ancients could have done astronomy with such devices as their technology had already created, but can not prove that they did. We need additional evidence ...
... other substances. He envisages also tremendous electrical discharges and spectacularly visible variations in position and shape of the comet. These latter, Velikovsky believes, are reflected in historical and mythological accounts of events in the skies and of battles between gods (the planets). Finally, Velikovsky identifies the comet as what is now what is now the planet Venus. Venus, he says, originated by expulsion or fission from Jupiter and roamed the solar system as a comet, experiencing close encounters with the earth at 52-year intervals in the middle of the second millennium B.C . The comet then changed the orbit of Mars, and the latter had close encounters with earth in the seventh and ...
