... precise form of a radiant star drawn in the center of a larger circle or sphere. You can see this for yourself - and abundantly so - in the birthplace of astronomy. The Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who gave "life" to the gods (and symbolically to the ruling king), was the planet Venus. Her star was ... with a shining nebulosity. The second came at the Seattle workshop when Wal Thornhill juxtaposed slides of the polar configuration and comet Shoemaker-Levi-9, illustrating that the polar configuration is not astronomically impossible. A third was when Dave Talbott shifted my vision of the flood myths in a post to the K-list: "[ I ]n all likelihood, the ...
432. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... visit to London that there was barely time to arrange the booking of a hall and to notify members of arrangements. The title of Dr Milton's talk was "Physics, Astronomy and Chronology", and in his inimitable style he spoke of the problems associated with the dating of human history and the age of the Earth. In confessing that ... which conventional dates were arrived at. The physicist, happy to use assumed values in his equations in order to arrive at a second unknown age of the Earth; the astronomer, content to pontificate on the position of heavenly bodies in days gone by and to allow archaeologists to date temples and civilizations on the basis of his own retro-calculations; ...
433. The Velikovskian Vol. II, No. 3: Contents [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in San Francisco and is currently planning to publish Gordon Atwater's memoir of the events that led to his dismissal as Curator of the Hayden Planetarium and Chairman of the Department of Astronomy of the American Museum of Natural History. Charles Ginenthal taught the physically handicapped in New York City, is the author of Carl Sagan and Immanuel Velikovsky, a critique ... Robert T. Russell is a Texan researcher who has long been following the chronological debate about ancient history. He is also interested in how the ancient chronology conforms with retrocalculated astronomical data of lunar and solar eclipses. Alice Miller is a researcher of all material published on Velikovsky's research, has written several rebuttals to criticisms leveled against it and has ...
434. Precession and the Hebrew Calendar [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of the ecliptic was conceived as the basic movement in the life of the universe. Giorgio de Santillana's preface to the MIT Press edition of Sir Norman Lockyer's The Dawn of Astronomy contains the supposition that "it is not reasonable to suppose the Egyptians unaware of the Precession of the Equinoxes, even if their mathematics was unable to predict it numerically ... " While no Egyptian astronomical mathematics have been positively identified with respect to the precession, there exist certain interesting numerological coincidences within the Hebrew calendar. Whether these "coincidences" are direct parallels is uncertain. They may be nothing more than numerical coincidences derived from certain common denominators inherent in any prolonged observation of the zodiac. While it cannot be ...

436. On Gravitating Electrified Bodies [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Extrapolations between the cosmic and atomic spheres become meaningless. The bizarre quality of conclusions about recently observed cosmic processes has already spawned the question "Do we need a revolution in Astronomy?" (Clube). All of the dilemmas cited by Clube as confronting astronomers can be resolved in a universe where electric forces are conceived to dominate. For ... long time chemists who concern themselves with the mechanics of collisions between atoms (which are admittedly dominated by the forces between electric charges) have agreed that a collision between two atoms can be treated as a sequence of alternating attractive and repulsive actions (see Figure 37). At great distance the atoms mildly repel one another because their perimeters are ...
437. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... simultaneous major changes in the earth's past, both in the environment and in human history, had in fact happened." Dr MacKie's researches are centred on the practice of astronomy in the late Neolithic period in Britain and Ireland, and in particular on an upsurge of activity around the middle of the third millennium BC, involving the building of ... have been forgiven some initial incredulity. Here Dr Meynell quoted the statement by Ralph E. Juergens in The Velikovsky Affair: "Even if Velikovsky's book were, as one astronomer put it, the most amazing example of a shattering of accepted concepts on record', the violence of the reaction against it seemed out of all proportion if, ...
438. The Continuing Ica Mystery [Journals] [SIS Review]
... contradicts all received wisdom on the history of man and the progress of biological evolution. One of the many Ica stones with a comet scene exhibiting an almost obsessional interest in astronomy. The person appears to be using a telescope. (Photograph by Peter Afford) Pictures on some of the stones, usually those best and most intricately carved, ... depicting constellations, stars and planets. Many feature enormous comets (one of which appears to be hurtling earthwards) and celestial dragon-like monsters, being keenly observed by the Ica astronomers. It is easy to succumb to the temptation, as most archaeologists have done, of rejecting the whole business as a ludicrous hoax. This may be the easiest ...

... in which Brown made the confessions and explained the doubts cited above. Hagihara and the mainstream astronomers had also failed to notice that, in 1953, the Regius Professor of Astronomy of the University of Glasgow, W. M. Smart, in a text on dynamical astronomy, had quantified Brown's doubts and shown that the equation for secular change ... in a 50-Dimensional Sponge Large Enough for Velikovsky to Slip Through? Robert W. Bass Copyright (c ) 1975 by ROBERT W. BASS Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky outraged the astronomical establishment in 1950 with his hypotheses of planetary shufflings during a game of cosmic billiards which, he postulated, took place within the past four millennia. Mankind supposedly was ...
440. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... heron or a god, sometimes Osiris. In conclusion let me add that to me it is highly significant that in all the forty pages Velikovsky devotes to his supplement "Astronomy and Chronology" in Peoples of the Sea, published in 1977, he never once refers to any of my own studies on the Egyptian calendars and chronology or to ... make a few comments. In the category of nit-picking I place the remarks of Lynn E. Rose. He well knows that my article was not intended to be an astronomical treatise. The very small error in reducing the decimal fraction of the tropical year to hours, minutes and seconds goes back to some source I have now forgotten but ...
