... . "Objections" was signed by 186 scientists, including 18 Nobel prizewinners, who were justly upset at the growing newspaper exploitation of a public that wasn't being informed that astronomy and astrology aren't the same thing. "Objections" and its child, CSICOP, were both the creation of The Humanist's then-editor Paul Kurtz (2 ) and received ... Humanist. This is not, it need hardly be said, the way of well-researched scholarship. All that fall of 1975, Kurtz was mailing Jerome, me and UCLA astronomer Professor George Abell reams of articles relating to Gauquelin, including the lengthy March 1975 report and alibis of the Belgian Comite Para which some years earlier, to its surprise ...
162. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... they have become the matter of broad interdisciplinary discussion. The participants in the phase of this debate here considered are qualified scientific workers in the fields of history, medicine, astronomy, sociology, philosophy, statistics, chemistry, engineering, and physics, and the author of this book is an economist. "There have been, and will ... on earth. These hypotheses were tested by Velikovsky, not merely against the myths themselves but, even more. against a great array of historical, archaeological, literary, astronomical, geological and palaeontological facts and records. Everywhere he found not refutation but strong confirmation of Plato. From his analysis there irresistably emerged an entirely new account of human ...

164. The 108-year Cyclicism of the Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Aeon]
... ? Having been versed in the Old Testament and in geography, these are some of the questions which arose in my mind. My first response was to educate myself in astronomy, especially that branch of astronomy dealing with the planets of this solar system. My second response, having made an acquaintance with a physicist who was also an orbital ... relied (George McCready Price), addressed such a question. Velikovsky did. Upon the first reading of Worlds in Collision, it was clear that those ancient catastrophes were astronomical in scope. A reading of his Earth in Upheaval(4 ) added breadth to the topic of catastrophism. This was a great, new insight in the 1950s ...

... how could it gather together? With Director of Antiquities Spiridon Marinatos in 1968, Deg met astronomer Constantinos Chassapis who had studied the Orphic Hymns and derived certain conclusions about Greek astronomy in the second millennium B.C . The Hymns, he asserted, had originated between -1841 and -1382, but probably in the 17th century. They showed the ... from larger bodies. Where can the energy come from, he says, and how could it gather together?

167. Interdisciplinary Indiscipline [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of English at Harton Comprehensive School, South Shields. He has a special interest in ancient science and civilisation and describes himself as an avid collector of books, especially on astronomy and history. Introduction I first encountered the Velikovsky Affair' in Alfred de Grazia's book of that title. Much later, around 1972, I read Worlds in Collision ... 1 ]. In a general way Velikovsky's research was impressive: it was clearly true that ancient authors believed there had been great astronomical catastrophes, and often gave fascinatingly interlocking accounts. Nevertheless, Velikovsky's detailed conclusions - that the planet Venus, as an Earth-grazing super-comet, had caused these disasters - failed to convince. The logic was never tight ...
168. "Mechanics Bears Witness" [Journals] [Pensee]
... the kinetic energy of Earth rotation, net electric charge on the Earth, the Earth's magnetic moment, and the interplanetary magnetic field. Solar Electric Charge The orthodox assumption in astronomy that stars and planets cannot carry appreciable net electric charges has been widely abandoned during the past 20 years or more. This widening of our outlook has been based on ... the Earth certainly requires strong electric charges on one or both bodies (Velikovsky, 1950, Delta edition, p. 85). Velikovsky has, moreover, repeatedly urged astronomers to beware of always omitting electromagnetic effects from their calculations of celestial mechanics. It is therefore my purpose here to examine in an elementary manner some questions of celestial electromechanics ...
169. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of English at Harton Comprehensive School, South Shields. He has a special interest in ancient science and civilisation and describes himself as an avid collector of books, especially on astronomy and history. The Cosmic Winter is the 1990 sequel to Clube and Napier's 1982 publication, The Cosmic Serpent [1 ], in which they aimed to show that ... trilogy [2 ] could fail to draw parallels - in fact, there were far more parallels than departures. The differences were mainly that Clube and Napier wrote as professional astronomers, and with the benefit of a third of a century's hindsight and scientific advance. They rejected Velikovsky's identification of the agents of destruction as wayward planets [3 ] ...

... found to contradict the assumptions of the scientists, are "rejected." In essence, Newton, who is in no way a Velikovskian but is a researcher into ancient astronomy, is saying that ALL translations and applications of them are fixed so that they are made to agree with what is assumed, à priori, to make it fit ... an ideal example which discloses that Storer's explanation is without a shred of substance. Halton Arp was decidedly not an outsider to science; he was, in fact, an astronomer who was acclaimed both nationally and internationally. Yet he challenged one of the central, modern paradigms of establishment science by offering evidence that the red shifts are not indications ...
