... by astronomical means as the dates can be off by as much as two thousand years.(43) . . . to be continued. REFERENCES 1. Vistas in Astronomy, 11, (1969). 2. A. Thom, Megalithic Lunar Observatories (henceforth MLO), (Oxford, 1971). 3. Idem, ... . Lastly, Thom contends that many of these stone rings and circles were associated with other stones or prominent natural features to indicate directions on the ground which would have been astronomically significant to Megalithic man. According to Thom, some of these directions pointed to the rising or setting Sun at the solstices or equinoxes, while others pointed to the ...
422. Stephen Jay Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... to mention, as well, with respect to these foolish scientists and academics, is that Gordon Atwater, the Curator of the Hayden Planetarium and Chairman of the Department of Astronomy of the American Museum of Natural History, did not receive royalties or fame, and was also removed by the establishment from his job for the unpardonable scientific sin and ... imperfect rendering of the last major paroxysm." (25) The only naiveté that Gould exhibits is his assumption that the ancient myths have nothing to tell us about the astronomical history of the ancient world. As I pointed out in my discussion of Morrison and Chapman, there are scientists who have begun to examine these ancient sources to find ...
... earth, they go searching around to produce the most amazing and fantastic explanation to account for the circumstances confronting them. Perhaps they are less to blame than the professors of astronomy, who lag sadly behind in metaphysics and appear to be content to remain in a rut. The Americans, however, are taking a strong interest in meteorism and ... doctrinal objects and some dates are hundreds of years out of their true order. We shall never obtain a correct history of the Israelites until this is entirely readjusted. If astronomers in their specialized sphere mislead geologists, and they in turn archaeologists, we shall never aspire to a recognition of the truths of antiquity. Similarly, chronology needs to ...
424. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... It applies as equally to biology and evolution as it does to cosmology. Even the laws of physics are not immutable, but emerge with the complexity of the system. ASTRONOMY More Catastrophic Moons (New Scientist, 5.2 .05, p. 18 and 25.12.04/1 .1 .05, p. ... behaviour of spinning galaxies which gravity cannot explain, the unexpected acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft, apparently varying constants' and cold fusion. Significantly, 8 are astronomical problems, 3 are physics problems and only 2 are biological. Do we assume the other disciplines have no anomalies, or are they too numerous to list? Another ...
425. My Challenge to Conventional Views in Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... that by cosmic and x-rays, by thermal and chemical means- conditions brought about in the catastrophes of the past- massive mutations can be achieved. (2 ) The pre-1950 astronomy followed the same pseudo-scientific statute of faith, elevated to a fundamental principle, and made believe that the Earth and other planets travel the same paths for the same six ... a psychoanalyst could not but recognize as so many variants of the same theme. In hymns, in prayers, in historical texts, in philosophical discourses, in records of astronomical observations, but also in legend and religious myth, the ancients desperately tried to convey to their descendants, ourselves included, the record of events that took place in ...
426. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... or attraction with great energy, depending upon the distances involved. Eric Crew has recently commented that "one of the most striking and yet most neglected aspects of electricity in astronomy is the enormous forces which can be produced by accumulation of electron charges."[2 ] The potential difference of charges that can be theoretically accumulated on even microscopic ... because the copper would fly asunder long before it could be charged to 8000 coulombs.) The example serves to alert one to the possible electrical transactions that may occur in astronomical space, where distances between bodies are great but the size of the bodies, too, is great. Planets can be charged to potentials differing from their near space ...

... fact that we do, indeed, live in an electric universe. Demise of Big Bang?source: Scientific American Jan 1990, p. 19 A basic concept in astronomy is that redshifts occur as a result of the Doppler effect, whereby the light emitted by a receding object shifts towards the red end of the light spectrum. Dependent ... the most difficult to explain have been those concerning Neptune's ring systems. Still clinging to the shepherding moonlet theory' which was advocated for ringlet control at Saturn and Uranus, astronomers have hit problems with Neptune's. This planet has incomplete rings, or arcs, which look as though some force must be keeping them bunched'... but ...
... ; we mean not those who cast people's fortunes for pay, but those who speculated on the traditional system of the world, and made use of whatever there was of astronomy, geography, mythology, holy texts of the laws of time and change, to build up an ambitious system. Abu Ma'shar and Michael Scotus were later dismissed as ... authority whom Plato was supposed to have followed (Timon even viciously said: plagiarized) and whom Socrates often quotes with unfeigned respect. It is Philolaos, surely a creative astronomer of high rank, from whom there are only a few surviving fragments, and the authenticity of these has been rashly challenged by many modern philologists [n5 G. ...
429. Velikovsky And Planetary Catastrophe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... In fact, literally all of the astronomical hieroglyphs for "the comet" are simultaneously attached to Venus and to the revered great goddess, who is Venus in the first astronomies. To apply common-sense rules of logic, one should start with the obvious: the symbols cited above are the acknowledged, most frequently-employed hieroglyphs for the comet in the ... the pioneering psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud; and of course Albert Einstein, who edited the physics and mathematics sections of Velikovsky's publication Scriptas Universitatis. But was Velikovsky himself a physicist or astronomer? No. His training was in law, economics, history and medicine. Did he pretend to be a physicist or astronomer? No. But intensive historical research ...

... discipline. Plausible Mechanics This latter point is well demonstrated by perhaps the most striking revelation of the symposium, contained in the paper by Bass, a professor of physics and astronomy at Brigham Young University. (Bass' paper is published in this issue.) Whereas for over two decades astronomers have been chanting in orchestrated unanimity that celestial mechanics ... had he seen such a high degree of commitment to the scientific issue of the occasion. It was no doubt the business-like, non-acrimonious tone of the event which enabled Hawaii astronomer David Morrison- one of Velikovsky's harshest critics at the symposium- to comment afterwards: "I hope all would agree that the participation of a substantial number of scientists in this ...
