... astronomical charts and accounts.[1 ] Earlier, Halley's Comet made an appearance about 544 B.C ., while Daniel (in Babylon) was a student of astronomy and heavenly movements. This is an implication that Daniel saw the Comet. There is a tradition that Daniel was the mentor of Zoroaster, who soon thereafter, in ... will "blow the socks off" the cautious uniformitarian! The History of Halley's Comet, Part I The presence of Halley's Comet has been documented for 2200 years in Chinese astronomical charts. Years of appearances of comets were noted, and every appearance of Halley's Comet, except two since 239 B.C ., is entered on those astronomical ...

213. The Electro-Gravitic Theory of Celestial Motion & Cosmology, by Charles Ginenthal [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Judging by the number of references to the scientific literature listed (278 in 132 pages of text - an average of 2 1/page) Charles Ginenthal has read more astronomy than most professional astronomers, who tend to concentrate on restricted fields. The list of contents include the origin and evolution of stars, galaxies and the solar system; ... and an appendix of measurements and mathematics. In his last pages, he describes the Electro-Gravitic theory as monumental heresy, a totally new weltanschauung that, if valid, overthrows the world view of cosmology, following the view of Immanuel Velikovsky that electromagnetism must play a role in celestial mechanics. I did not find this theory as impressive as the ...

... . Lond for 1974 which published the papers given at the conference, organised jointly in 1972 by the Royal Society and the British Academy, the theme of which was "Astronomy in the Ancient World".(1 ) The evidence indicates fairly clearly that there was a warmer and drier spell of climate in NW Europe in the 3rd and ... (1 ) properly they would know that that was exactly what I did do. Excavations were carried out at a very similar boulder about 50m upstream, and in an astronomically meaningless position, and no stone layer was found. There is scarcely need to continue after that but, in the interests of putting straight the record, I will ...
215. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... Old World upon the inheritance of Babylonian science by the Greeks and Indians. At first sight this argument has some appeal. Certainly there is no denying the fact that Babylonian astronomy had an enormous influence upon the early astronomical conceptions of the Greeks and other Old World cultures. The Greeks themselves admitted as much. (2 ) And analysis of ... . Throughout each step of the investigation, the cult of Nergal has loomed large, not only because of its antiquity but because it offers a solid link with the earliest astronomical traditions of Babylon. Nergal's well-attested identification with the planet Mars thus serves as a common denominator behind our various researches in comparative religion and archaeoastronomy. As we have sought ...
216. Aftermath to Exposure [Books] [de Grazia books]
... in the same magazine marked the beginning of the controversy. Now, writing 13 years later, Larrabee chose to point up the case for Velikovsky by citing recent discoveries in astronomy, space science, geology, and geophysics that bring support to the thesis of Worlds in Collision. Like the authors of the articles in the Behavioral Scientist, Larrabee ... attention to a letter in Science (December 21, 1962) in which Valentin Bargmann, physicist of Princeton University, and Lloyd Motz, astronomer of Columbia University, urged their colleagues to recognize Velikovsky's priority in predicting three highly significant discoveries: (1 ) the high temperature of the planet Venus; (2 ) the emission of non-thermal radio ...
217. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... based on his lack of research, as I have repeatedly pointed out? 7 Colin Wilson and Donan Wilson report that in 1947,. . . a standard textbook of astronomy, Skilling and Richardson (1947) states, `From the fact that Jupiter is 5.2 times as far from the source of heat (the Sun) ... with ice, but it is much colder than ice. It is probably around 200 degrees below zero."10 In 1954 Patrick Moore, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, wrote that the "belts of Jupiter seem to be made up of liquid or solid droplets of ammonia, and since ammonia cannot exist in liquid or solid ...
218. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... N. Vail (1840-1912) represents an important milestone. In the unification of artificially compartmentalized sciences. Here we find a valiant attempt to weave the sciences of Geology, Astronomy, and Anthropology into a single tapestry. That there may be errors of commission and omission should not be allowed to detract from the insight of this brave effort. ... we have been applying the Lyellian Law entirely too restrictively. The geologic edifice has not been built according to the natural development of worlds, and any geologic system or any astronomic system that does not admit of annular or ring evolution is necessarily erroneous. Magnificent then as our geological structure is, it must be taken down to its very foundation ...

... Worlds in Collision. Macmillan had accepted the book, on the advice of, among others, Gordon Atwater, then curator of the famous Hayden planetarium and chairman of the astronomy department of the American Museum of Natural History. Warnings to Macmillan, against publishing such a venture into "the Black Arts", were given by one of the ... . The Dallas News thought it might be the latest Russian dogma. The Daily Worker saw in its popularity a sure sign of the bankruptcy of capitalism. And the professional astronomers raised a gale of derision and denunciation that is blowing intermittently still. I do not know of any such reaction by historians, archaeologists, geologists or palaeontologists to Earth ...
