... will continue to travel outwards until the forces balance, if an equilibrium condition is to be attained. This brief introduction is the basis for a closer look at a particular example, Jupiter, where there seems to be considerable evidence that its core, or a part of it, was ejected into an independent solar orbit, becoming the planet Venus. There are many obvious problems arising from this claim, but these are negligible compared with the problems of devising alternative, satisfactory explanations for the vast mass of evidence about cosmic catastrophes in historical times which has been collected and published in the works of Velikovsky, who is now so well-known and respected by serious students of astronomy that there ...
372. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Ninsianna tablets, taking up from the point at which I left it in April 1986 (C & C Workshop 1986:1 , p.14). By way of clarification, the way I got started on the present stage of the analysis was essentially to compute a number of 16 year sequences of "normal invisibilities" of Venus, by means of Van der Waerden's style of computation of the theoretical invisibilities of Venus, and then to plot these sequences on tracing paper and overlay them on a plot of actual invisibilities reported by the Babylonians. This procedure speedily narrows down the range of possibilities. The whole process is more complex than may appear at first sight, ...
373. On Morrison: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... paper is now scheduled to appear in a forthcoming book from Cornell University Press- Scientists Confront Velikovsky- even though Morrison had nothing to do with the February 1974 AAAS symposium upon which the book is loosely based. The commentary offered herein refers to the second revised version of Morrison's paper. The pagination numbers match those of the typewritten text. Hydrocarbons on Venus Morrison (p . 5): "In contrast to that of Jupiter, the atmosphere of Venus is oxidised.... the visible clouds of Venus are composed of sulphuric acid droplets . . . there is no evidence of hydrocarbons in the clouds or any other part of the visible atmosphere of Venus; in particular, the ...
374. Views In Brief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the volume of manna precipitated at the Exodus, which was brought up by Paul Standring in WORKSHOP 5:3 , pp.19-20. He notes that Sagan's calculation is a reductio ad absurdum having little relevance to what Velikovsky described in WORLDS IN COLLISION. Whereas Velikovsky posited a one-time deposition of hydrocarbons in Earth's atmosphere from the tail of Venus, converted to manna over a period of 40 years, Sagan ignored K. K. Wong in PENSEE IVR III pp.45-46 and calculated the size of a body required to spread manna throughout the inner solar system every day for 40 years. He adds further that it is obvious that if the manna was real and the result ...
375. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... not clear about the catastrophic events that followed, but I gather that the second system is the one that animates the contributors to AEON. In this system, Saturn had acquired the cosmic eye and the cosmic pillar, fueling the imagination of the ancients. This system also had its catastrophic events, in which Saturn was replaced by Jupiter while Venus moved in an unstable orbit around the Sun. The AEON view apparently is that all of mythology can be assigned to the egg, the eye, or the transition from Saturn to Jupiter. There does not seem to be much interest in the period of Jupiter's supremacy or the transition to the present solar configuration. Immanuel Velikovsky concentrated on ...
376. Letters. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , in its association with certain constellations, would have appeared to also be associated with the pole star but, again, the mythological evidence does not support the idea of the pole star as the fixed god. I have no quarrel with Moe's arguments about the ring being associated with the primeval waters and the mother goddess image, related to Venus and Ishtar etc. but the inadequacy of his dust ring hypothesis is tellingly revealed when he says that the mythological descriptions of Venus do not fit the appearance of the planet Venus', so consequently he has to fall back on the later identification argument. This leads one to wonder about the vast store of other myths which are not ...
377. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Saturn, caused by its eruptive activity. Even since the Voyager project scientists have been unwilling to admit that the rings of Saturn are recent in origin, although the consensus belief is that they are slowly spiralling inwards like the grooves on a gramophone record. Dr Fred Scarf is refreshingly honest about the situation: "We assume the atmosphere of Venus is static, and that it's all from outgassing, not volcanoes. The rings of Saturn are the way they've been for millions of years, not that stuff is falling in now. And, of course, none of that is true. "Io's volcanoes were not supposed to exist either, but once you see something like that ...
378. Father Kugler's Falling Star [Journals] [Kronos]
... the principles of astronomy and the difficulties of reading the original cuneiform texts, and established a strong reputation in his chosen field through papers in a number of specialist journals as well as a succession of books. As Livio C. Stecchini points out,(2 ) it is thanks to Kugler that we are able to speak of the "Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga", he being the first to identify the reign during which the observations may have been made. Kugler did not confine his writing to the one area, but found the fruits of his researches useful across a wide field. Early in his career he took up the cudgels against the Berlin Assyriologist Delitzsch, who had ...
379. The Berekhat Ram "Venus" [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:3 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents News Flash The Berekhat Ram "Venus"Tania ta Maria Until recently, man's oldest art works were claimed to have originated in Europe 35,000 years ago. It seems that has now changed. Not only have we moved away from Europe, but much farther back than 35,000 years ago. A two-inch tall statuette of one of those voluptuous females, of which the Willendorf Venus is perhaps the best known example, was discovered in the 1980s by Naama Goren-Inbar, of Hebrew University, at Berekhat Ram in the Golan Heights, Israel. Carved from volcanic rock, the statuette has not ...
380. More Than One Typhon [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Israeli historian. For reasons which I cannot quite go into here, I tend to disagree. However, that said, I must also report that in all the years since Worlds in Collision was written, AND DESPITE WHAT WAS SAID IN IT, I have not been able to discover one single bit of evidence that would tie the planet Venus to the event. All that can be said with SOME certainty, is: (1 ) that a comet does seem to have made its appearance in the sky during the Exodus; (2 ) that this comet was NOT the comet Venus; and (3 ) that an earthquake also occurred just before the Israelites left Egypt. ...
