... he deserves." A few ducked because they had no recourse and feared the collective or public opinion of science, perhaps retaliation. It was a small step, which the sociologically untrained scientific mind can easily take, from witnessing a fellow supporting the case of Velikovsky to disdaining him erroneously for supporting his theories. Some would have been just normally lazy. Dr. Robert Jastrow, Director of the Institute for Space Studies, wrote Deg on October 20, 1980: "I had, of course, read your earlier very fine pieces on Velikovsky and his theories and had drawn on them in preparing my own article." But maybe this was later. The New York Times ...
432. Monitor. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... or not. Biblical Disorder New Scientist 17.11.01, p. 3 A neuroscientist has been busy analysing characters from the Bible. Samson had anti-social personality disorder and Ezekiel suffered from temporal lobe epilepsy. As there are now around 400 diagnosable mental conditions, it will be a miracle if the neuroscientist can find any character who is normal. ASTRONOMY Cosmic Connection New Scientist 10.11.01, p. 16 Astronomers have seen cosmic rays being born during a supernova explosion, verifying their previous beliefs. Of Asteroids and Comets New York Times 5.6 .01, 17.7 .01, 22.5 .01, New Scientist 8.12. ...
433. On Schools Of Thought [Journals] [SIS Review]
... criminal" and the "criminally insane" may be hard to draw, but it has major implications for their subsequent institutional treatment. Such problems occur even in social systems where rational objectivity is assented to reign. We cannot escape the political implications of our social classifications. For example, in the psychiatric problem of deciding between what is "normal" and the various types of "insanity", the same behaviour may be regarded quite differently in different cultures and at different times. What is claimed as an objective principle of classification thus turns out to be relative to the culture and the political system. A Social Science'... Natural science is not exempt from such ...
434. The Biblical 40-Years Periods [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the eras of 40 years of peace during the period of the Judges'. 2. A Statistical Approach 2.1 Defining the Problem In order to assess whether or not 40' appears suspiciously often, let us look firstly at how often it is used in the OT, to get an indication as to whether it is a normal naturally-occurring number, or if its frequency looks unnatural. 2.2 All the 40s in Perspective Based on Nelson's Concordance [5 ], all references to the numbers 30 to 50 were grouped in accordance with the columns (Table 1). Instances where 40 refers to periods of time such as days, weeks, months or years ...
435. The Solar System as Electrical [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ; it acquires increasing density because of electro-chemical binding and electrical accumulation. A cavity or star is increasingly charged but during its lifetime it cannot be more charged than the medium around it [4 ]. The Sun is highly charged, as some scientists have lately concluded (Bailey, 1960). The life history of any new star may normally proceed as its cavity acquires first matter, and then charges continuously until its charge density reaches equilibrium with the surrounding medium, which is to say that the cavity has then been filled. Thereupon the star releases or mixes its material with the medium until it no longer possesses distinction as a body. This "normal" procedure is conditional ...
436. Reexamination of the Foundations [Journals] [Pensee]
... scientists are people with some kind of special intuition; they don't always follow the pattern of obvious logic. They make intuitive jumps in their thinking which they can't, themselves, explain at the time. Velikovsky does this more than most scientists because he has a very strong and highly charged intuition, and this puts him on the fringes of normal scientific activity. In judging a person like Velikovsky it comes down to whether you have a higher regard for a certain cold- self-evident logic or whether you have a higher regard for the intuitive powers of great people. Perhaps there is a balance between these. Personally, I think it is tremendously important to have such people around because ...
437. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Egypt entered a dark age (the First Intermediate Period) as might be expected following the loss of its Pharaoh and army, most of its crops and animals, and some of its other wealth. The disasters of the Ipuwer Papyrus [ 'Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage'], some of them paralleling the Exodus plagues, are normally put at this time (CAH I:2 , pp. 200-1) although Velikovsky and others have argued for a placement in the Second Intermediate Period. The Prophecy of Neferti' also tells of disasters between the Old and Middle Kingdoms (Gardiner 1961, p. 126). Gardiner says of the First Intermediate Period (1961, ...
438. Summary and Closing Address [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to argue that the interpretations of both Velikovsky and David Rohl cannot be correct. In the case of David Rohl, that the Labayu of the El Amarna Letters could not have been Saul and in Velikovsky's case could not have been Ahab and similarly for example when Velikovsky identified Shalmaneser III as being one of the correspondents, it was clearly a female that was being referred to, which was quite incompatible with Velikovsky's interpretation. Eric saw possible links with Tiglath-Pileser III but accepted that there was still lots of work to do to establish a chronology on that basis. David Rohl talked about some of the fine detail of his chronology in relation to the end of the various stages of the ...
439. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... to this calendar the rising had to take place in the twelfth month of the year. When it might fall out of that month an intercalary month was added before the next year began. This happened at two or three year intervals. The resulting calendar kept its place in the seasons with only the slight movement back and forth. The normal year was thus one of three seasons and twelve months (Senmut ceiling) but it could be shown with the intercalary month added (Ramesseum ceiling). B. At some time in the Old Kingdom an averaged lunar year with three seasons of four thirty-day months was introduced, no doubt for simplicity in government and business. To this ...
440. Stellar Spectra [Journals] [Aeon]
... hydrogen or helium lines. In the majority of cases, metal lines dominate the spectra. As a result, astronomers assume that the characteristics of the spectra reflect the physical state of the stars more than they do the stars' chemistry. Spectrum lines, though generally identifiable from terrestrial experiments, show stellar components which arise from energy transitions not normally observed in the laboratory. These wavelengths are sometimes predictable from first principles. Independently of other factors, the complexity of an element's spectrum depends upon how clustered the available energy states are and how they split in electric and magnetic fields- Stark and Zeeman broadening. In addition, anomalous components can arise because, in some elements (particularly ...
