412. The Cairns Of Kintraw [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Meanwhile, having forgone his original alignment, we are left with no astronomical purpose for the existence of the smaller ring-cairn. Since its construction had nothing to do with astronomy, should not the same be believed of the larger cairn? The major question that comes to mind, however, is: Can it safely be said that the ... (c ) 1979 by Dwardu Cardona. Dr. Euan MacKie's archaeological excavation at Kintraw, Argyllshire, Scotland, has been hailed by some as a dramatic confirmation of the astronomical function of this megalithic site.

413. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... Africa; but if we accept Ramapithecus as his confamilial predecessor, culture probably began in India. Sitchin's linguistics seems at least as amateurish as his anthropology, biology, and astronomy. On p. 370, for example, he maintains that "all the ancient languages . . . including early Chinese . . . stemmed from one primeval source ... fact that he has forerunners on both scores. In the 1840's, Urbain Leverrier observed a small planet between Mercury and the sun which he named Vulcan. Although 20th century astronomers believe that Vulcan was an illusion, the legend of a forgotten or imperceptible planet has been kept alive by science fiction writers and survives in countless television scripts. And ...

... ro".] Somewhere along the way they have been reformed. I must admit I have no way of knowing where along the way. Lockwood in The Dawn of Astronomy which he wrote at the turn of the century, thought of that idea. The only reason why he did not exploit it to better use is because Lockwood made ... A Revised Astronomical Chronology for Egypt John Fermor Peter James: "Now to the really difficult stuff from Dr. John Fermor. John teaches Climatology, Geography and the History of Science at Glasgow College of Technology, and his Ph.D . thesis was in chalk hydrology, so as you will see, that qualifies him very well ...
415. Velikovsky's Challenge to the Scientific Establishment [Journals] [Pensee]
... be defending one's own vested interest inasmuch as science requires absolute neutrality toward everything. In the case of Velikovsky we find the elite's righteousness, and those firmly in command of astronomy in the citadel of Harvard University showing their wrath by appealing to objectivity. Velikovsky's proponents had the choice either to challenge the notion and thereby undermine one of the most ... the basic conditions of scientific investigation for what he calls the "rationalistic reception system" and how Velikovsky assiduously abided by such demands without, however, winning acceptance from most astronomers (1 ). Journals devoting special attention to Velikovsky have been inordinately sensitive to objectivity: the Yale Scientific Magazine expressed its viewpoint by claiming, "We feel that ...

... did not occur slowly: they did not end slowly. Conditions changed suddenly. The pattern is not necessarily regular: it could be random. While there is nothing in astronomy to say that Hoyle's idea of a large comet sailing past the Earth is wrong, Warlow felt that the effect of dust in the atmosphere would be relatively short-lived, ... , at the Society's now regular venue of the Library Association in London, was given the general title, Catastrophism Old and New. Peter Warlow took as his subject "Astronomical Theories and Ice Ages", and began his talk by producing a first-edition copy of the Rev. William Buckland's book, Observations on the Organic Remains Contained in Caves ...

The paperback of BB came out in September 1980 with quotes from ... the book would never have found a major publisher, would never have become a bestseller, had it not had a strong appeal to old-time religionists.... To astronomers and physicists, without exception, Velikovsky's scenario is so crazy that most of them saw no reason why they should waste time even reading him. It is to Sagan's ...

... the very language used by the ancient Chinese in describing the pole star as the "star of the pivot." And this was anything but an abstraction, for Chinese astronomy insisted with one voice that the pivot was the ancient location of the celestial emperor Shang-ti, the ruler of beginnings. To the Polynesians the pole is the station of ... ancient mythical prototype in the central sun, the founder of the Golden Age. So one step in the reasoning here is simply to note the language applied by the first astronomers to the celestial pole and to compare that terminology to the earlier language applied to the great rulers of the sky. Consider the image of the pole in Shakespeare- " ...
