312. On Schools Of Thought [Journals] [SIS Review]
... extended the same method of argument into natural science. My negative subjective reactions were much stronger about his arguments based on the literature of sciences with which I have some familiarity. The bulk of Earth in Upheaval and the first two chapters of Worlds in Collision were intended to show the division of opinion in the scientific orthodoxy, and the serious anomalies still present in non-catastrophic historical sciences. In at least some cases he displayed genuine difficulties in the orthodox theories. But there are anomalies in every theory; a theory must be abandoned only when its failures are especially conspicuous in comparison with its best rivals (6 ). Velikovsky failed to show that his catastrophism was the only reasonable alternative ...
313. A Challenge to the Integrity of Science? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it concerns. No one could deny that if it makes enough predictions that are verified by subsequent testing (either by accidental discoveries or deliberately arranged experiments) then it must be regarded as plausible and admitted as such. Beyond the three correct astronomical predictions already cited, Velikovsky seems to have been proved right regarding the Sun's electric charge, Venus's anomalous rotation, and Mars's many craters. Two further predictions are confirmed by NASA's Apollo programme - Moon rocks have revealed a weak remanent magnetism, and moonquakes have been detected. There are many more such examples (see Pensée, vol 2, No. 2) but, contrary to the impressions given by some of Velikovsky's supporters, there ...
314. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , however, the non-gravitational effect was smooth and thus more in accordance with a continuous release of matter." Charged comets would also show smooth secular accelerations or decelerations depending upon the magnitude or sense of the charge. MICHELSON (1974) notes that Bailey's value for the charge on the Sun is of the right order to account for the anomalous perihelion drift of Mercury, and we might note that the possiblity of electrical phenomena contributing to the energy content of the Sun may account for the dearth of neutrino emission. DJURIC has pointed out that a magnetic Earth must have an electric field associated with it, and has suggested that this is the true cause of the attraction of charged ...
315. Towards an astronomical dating of the pyramids [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from the line Zeta-Epsilon (in the sky) varies between about 7.5 (present day) and 7.8 (2500 BC). Both mistakes' could be at least largely corrected by moving the pyramid of Chephren about 100 ft. closer to Cheops but this correction' on its own does not nearly clear up all the anomalies. Particularly suggestive of some miscarriage of instructions between the astronomers of Heliopolis/Letopolis and the ground surveyors at Giza is the finding (Table 2, below) that the 043.4 map bearing of Cheops from Chephren is actually the proper' heading for the line Mycerinus-Chephren, leading to a proper' heading of approx. 051 for ...
316. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the PhD thesis on the chronological revision which is the subject of the present work. The book is in five sections, following an introduction summarising the generally accepted histories of Egypt and Israel up to the destruction of the kingdom of Judah by Nebuchadrezzar II in 587 BC. Part One, Conundrums of the Pharaohs', draws attention to several anomalies in the currently accepted chronology of the TIP in Egypt, which throw doubt on its validity. Part Two, Unravelling the Gordian Knot', examines the four main pillars of the conventional chronology and concludes that only the date of 664 BC for the Assyrian sack of Thebes is incontrovertible. Part Three, Legendary Kings and Chronicles', ...
317. Thoth Vol IV, No. 1: Jan 15, 2000 [Journals] [Thoth]
... that a theory provides is improved incrementally as the theory is articulated, tested, and revised. The theory's domain of validity-the set of data it can explain-is explored and the details filled in. But the very activity of exploration discovers data outside the theory's domain. These unexpected facts (for every theory starts out expecting to explain everything) become anomalies that eventually undermine the theory. A theory is an intellectual tool with the amazing property that as it's perfected it destroys itself. In analogy with natural selection, the cognitive niche that selects a theory for fitness is itself altered by the theory such that, after a time, a new and different theory is selected. Thus, a ...
318. Thoth Vol III, No. 1: Jan 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the larger, public stage, the image of authority long associated with uniformist theories has faded. Kuhn discovered that science progresses by way of a succession of paradigms. Foucault articulated the pervasiveness of politics which the Velikovsky affair, among others, revealed. And on the smaller stage of evidence, the flood of surprising, difficult-to-explain, or downright anomalous observations in recent decades is carving out a wider and deeper theoretical channel: Arp's quantised quasars and Thornhill's plasma-machined planets, to name only two. The uniformist paradigm has already shifted. A market in paradigms has developed. A multiplicity of meanings, each with its domain of validity, allows a choice of appropriate truths for particular conditions. ...

... a particularly miserable summer is "just like winter". This would tie in with the "bad year" cf (i ), and with Erman's note (2 ). (iv) If, in view of (i ) and (iii), we adopt the view that the "year of misery" was a climatic anomaly of some sort, then we must return to point (ii) above: how, climatically speaking, can the sun be said not to rise ? The papyrus does not tell us that the sun was hidden- it tells us that the sun did not rise- and in any case there is no mention of any clouds, ...

... today doing that very thing. GOLDSMITH: OK. In the interest of time we'll congratulate ourselves quickly- QUESTIONER: I have a question. GOLDSMITH:- and move on to someone who seems to have identified himself already as the next questioner. QUESTIONER: The question is, Dr. Velikovsky, are you aware of the recently discovered anomalously high temperature of the satellite, I believe it's called Titan, of one of the major planets, I believe it's Saturn? A nd does your theory offer an explanation of this anomalously high temperature, which at first glance resembles the situation of Venus? VELIKOVSKY: [to Goldsmith] What is the question? GOLDSMITH: The question ...
