... Velikovsky had presented it as primarily speculative rather than as scientific truth, had not affirmed categorically throughout the book that the Newtonian gravitational theory of the dynamics of the Solar System is wrong, and had not insisted that he was the discoverer of a new Solar System dynamics that explained all known Solar System observations, ranging from the surface temperature of Venus to the emission of radio waves from Jupiter. The scientists' (particularly the astronomers') anger was further compounded by the way the book was published, with particular annoyance at its prepublication publicity, which promised discoveries so startling that the very foundations of science would be shaken, and all of this by a non-scientist, an outsider ...

333. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... now, Thornhill has been arguing that the universe is governed at a fundamental level by electromagnetic forces. Recently, at the Portland World Conference sponsored by Kronia Communications in September, 2000, Thornhill presented an impressive body of evidence that various planets in the solar system had only recently experienced significant episodes of catastrophic scarring. The surfaces of Mars, Venus, and Io, in particular, offer striking examples of extensive rilles, circular cratering, and fretting which Thornhill interprets as the result of an electrical scarring process akin to machine-arcing.

334. Michelson's Virtual Inversion (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... mainly shows that he really does not understand the physical principles involved. Contrary to what Rose claims, Michelson's ignoring angular momentum in a discussion of energy has no effect on Michelson's point. Michelson's reply to Rose in 1974 at the AAAS meeting, which Rose quotes, is complete and accurate and in no way detracts from Michelson's primary point. VENUS AND EARTH: TWINS AFTER ALL?To the Editor of KRONOS: I work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and have ready access to a "Venus globe" made by the Replogle Company for NASA. The Venus globe is a topographical globe produced from digital data based on an orbital survey mission (Pioneer Venus) conducted by the Ames ...
335. Propaganda And Scientific History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... dealing with Jastrow's valid astronomical criticism of Sagan's misapplication of gravitational theory. However, Davidson omitted what was indisputable evidence from my book that Sagan had fully contradicted himself on this question of probability. In brief, Sagan claimed there is a probability of "about a trillion quadrillion to one" of having six near collisions "Among the Earth, Venus, and Mars."35 He claimed that "These odds are a proper calibration of the validity of Velikovsky's hypothesis [which]... becomes negligible."36 Therefore, two near collisions by Venus with the Earth and one with Mars and then Mars having three near collisions with the Earth create such a low order of ...
336. The Catastrophic Substructure of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (Part I) [Journals] [Kronos]
... are enormous and the challenge vast, for it is nothing less than our entire conception of what created art is, and therefore what we are, which hangs in the balance. 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 . ...
337. Beyond Bauer [Journals] [Aeon]
... years since the publication of Worlds in Collision and the world still awaits a comprehensive appraisal of Velikovsky's thesis of planetary catastrophism. Despite the fact that the past decade has found a rash of books proclaiming that "Velikovsky is dead," signs abound that the obituary notice was premature. Scientists covering the recent Magellan probe have expressed their surprise that Venus appears especially "youthful" and bears all the signs of still having a volatile geology replete with widespread volcanism. The Voyager probe, similarly, provided equally dramatic evidence that the satellites of Saturn and Jupiter have been subjected to tremendous forces consistent with the great cataclysms described by Velikovsky; while the giant planets themselves displayed wildly turbulent atmospheres and ...
338. The Ankh [Journals] [Kronos]
... Ankh Dwardu Cardona Copyright (C ) 1982 by Dwardu Cardona 1. Saturn I have recently shown why Velikovsky's identification of the Hindu god Shiva as a personification of the planet Jupiter should be abandoned in favor of an identification as Saturn.(1 ) I have also presented evidence which indicates that the original hermaphrodite deity of ancient man was not Venus, as Zvi Rix had earlier argued,(2 ) but, once again, Saturn.(3 ) As I have already pointed out, a good example of the androgynous Saturn can be seen in Indic images which depict Shiva, under the name Ardhanarisvara, as being half male and half female.(4 ) H. ...

... collisions is estimated at half a million years. Beat that for optimism! Venera Data source: Aviation Week & Space Technology 26.4 .82 "Data from the Soviet Venera 13 and 14 spacecraft show that most ultraviolet solar radiation is absorbed at an altitude of 60 km (37.2 m) in the Venusian atmosphere and that Venus' clouds are mostly sulphur." We should like to hear from anybody who could tell us how this data affects the ill-starred "greenhouse effect" theory for the heat of Venus.
