... Cardona. Editorial By Dwardu Cardona Vox Popvli Our readers sound off. PAGE 5 Forvm Debate between Keith H. Rhodes and Wallace Thornhill on Donald Patten and Samuel Windsor's hypothesis concerning the recent organization of the Solar System. PAGE 9 Second SIS Cambridge Conference: Natural Catastrophes During Bronze Age Civilisations A report by Birgit C. Liesching. PAGE 15 Circling the Rings- by Henry Zemel A new hypothesis which proposes the one-time existence of rings composed of asteroidal debris surrounding the Sun in concentric bands, the slow shrinkage of which would have swept the ecliptic clear of such remnants. PAGE 23 Quantalism: The Big Picture- by Roger W. Wescott An essay on the etymological origins behind cenocatastrophism ...
322. ABC's of Astrophysics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... " "A planet cannot be moved by any force without exploding." "No force capable of moving a planet exists actively or potentially." "Existing records reveal at least 4000 years of Venus observations." "Bode's law of planetary spacing forbids its moving from elsewhere or being elsewhere." "Planets cannot move from ellipses to circles, and to move they must take up elliptical orbits for a time." Against these, the quantavolutionary argument, as it was developed by Velikovsky and his friends, asserts: "The arrangement of the solar system is only stable by our recent historical observations." "Venus is an exceptional planet in its dense atmosphere and with ...
323. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... still being asked, and any modern philosophy worth reading contains not only methodological studies, as in semantics and symbolic logic, but also a seeing of the universe not merely through disconnected academic specialities, but as it lies before us as physical and spiritual reality. That integration belongs to philosophy, and represents its observational side. Neither the Vienna Circle nor "language analysis" can mock it away. Thales, Pythagoras, and Plato all studied in Egypt. What they studied is not precisely known, but it is unlikely that out of the comprehensive religion of Egypt one would have separate lectures in philosophy, mathematics, and applied science. As nearly as we can see, the ...
324. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... "We must remember that there was no particular need for haste in laying out a new temple, nor was there a need for sophisticated astronomical or surveying instruments. One possible method of alignment follows; set a vertical pole, with the use of a plumb bob, and mark the tip of the shadow in mid-morning. Then draw a circle with the pole as the centre and the distance to the tip of the morning's shadow mark as the radius. In the afternoon, mark the point where the tip of the shadow just intersects the circle. Then bisect the angle between the two marked points and the central pole by intersecting two equal arcs using the shadow marks as the ...
325. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... de Groot remarks: 137 This Northern prince can be none other than the god of the Polar star, of the centre round which turn the heavens and all they contain, the god who maintains the grand equilibrium of the Universe. The silent Wheels are probably the orbits of [not the "orbits of," but the apparent celestial circles described by] the stars, of which wheels the Pole is as it were the Nave. There could not well be anything much stronger, in confirmation of the theories of this Inquiry, even if I had had the passage written to order and it was pleasant to come across it, when much of this first volume was already ...
... innumerable subordinate condensations took place at about the same time as the formation of the material atoms. The interstellar medium not only slows down the translatory speed of bodies moving forward through it, but also acts similarly on bodies moving in it in orbital paths. Hence the orbits of all bodies revolving round a central mass must be, not re-entering circles or ellipses, but involuting circular or elliptic spirals, the resultant of the orbital motion, gravitation, and the resistance of the interstellar medium. Thus, finally, all planetary centres must become united with the centre of the system. Naturally, heavier bodies, having more momentum, will be less subject to this resistance than lighter ones ...
327. The Year Of 360 Days, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... relation to fixed stars during a ten-day period. "However, the 36 decans with their decades require a year of only 360 days."15 To explain this apparently arbitrary length of the zodiacal path, the following conjecture was made: "At first the astronomers of Babylon recognized a year of 360 days, and the division of a circle into 360 degrees must have indicated the path traversed by the sun each d ay in its assumed circling of the earth."16 This left over five degrees of the zodiac unaccounted for. The old Babylonian year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each, the months being computed from the time of the appearance of the new moon ...
328. The Nature and Origin of Comets and the Evolution of Celestial Bodies (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Sun's edge and resolves two other mysteries.(3 ) One is the differing red-shifts of galaxies and certain quasars which appear to be associated visually with the nearby galaxies (suggesting that the red-shift cannot be used as a measure of astronomical distance).(4 ) The second is the existence of planetary nebulae (ring clouds long known to circle certain stars). According to traditional astronomy,(5 ) these appear to be many light years from the central star because the red-shift is interpreted to give a great distance to the star from Earth. But if the red-shift is due to the IEDRS, then these stars may be much closer than previously thought, and the nebular ...
329. Some Notes on Senmut's Ceiling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , generally taken to represent Sirius and Orion; (c ) A northern panel bearing a group of figures conventionally taken as a pictorial representation of the circumpolar constellations, flanked by "centripetal" groups of deities (i .e ., files facing the centre), plus, in the case of the Senmut ceiling only, twelve subdivided circles taken by Pogo to be unfinished monthly star-charts of some type. Thus, it would appear - at least if there is any validity at all in the usual interpretation - that the northern and southern panels do not overlap in their content or purpose: each has its own clearly demarcated area. Ceiling of the sepulchral hall of Seti I ...
330. From Venus with Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... To repeat, photograph the new drawing exactly as it is here, and thus keep the shading in the final cut." Indeed sex does pop out of all corners in the material of human history and is especially illuminating in regard to catastrophic events. It remarkable how V. managed to suppress sexuality from becoming a major theme of this circles. It would have been easy to follow a path similar to the one of Wilhelm Reich who found in a kind of electromagnetic life force, expressible in sexuality, the beginning of an answer to all things, including a kind of communism for which he was evicted from the communist party in Germany. Elsewhere, in The Burning of ...
