... why did they not notice that five mean solar "days" of Mercury were about equal to six mean synodic periods of Venus and Mercury? It is notorious that modem astronomy is cluttered with relics of geocentrism. Could this oversight be another instance of geocentric thinking? Why is it so readily conceivable that the rotation of one of the planets ... same face is turned toward the Sun (after having turned all the way around with respect to the Sun). MERCURY The Sun-Locked Mercury Model. For many years, astronomers believed that Mercury completed one rotation on its axis during one revolution around the Sun- in other words, that Mercury always kept the same face turned toward the Sun ...
452. On the Pendulum Experiment (Vox Popvli) [Journals] [Kronos]
... another of which was an elegant test of Einstein's Special Relativity Theory. Yet, Velikovsky's theory of gravitation is potentially at least as significant as his work in the fields of astronomy and history. At least one scientist experimentally demonstrated a relationship between gravity and electricity in the late 1920's; and an experiment with a charged torque pendulum performed by a ... Velikovsky develops the theoretical- especially the cosmological- aspects of the subject (in broad, non-quantitative terms), while the research cited in Ether-Technology is wholly experimental, with astronomical implications left unexamined and questions like "why?" and "how?" left dangling. Velikovsky arrived at his theory of electro-gravitation as a logical extension of his ...
... motion, which was intuitively associated with the rolling or wheel-like projection of the sun through the upper or visible arc of the heavens, as understood and accepted in the crude astronomy of the ancimts. The earliest phase of astronomical science we are at present in position to refer to, with the still extant aid of indigenous diagrams, is the ... . The representation of the sun in this system commences with a simple ring or outline circle, which is speedily advanced toward the impression of onward revolving motion by the insertion of a cross or four wheel-like spokes within the circumference of the normal ring. As the original Chaldean emblem of the sun was typified by a single ring, so the ...
454. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Is the emperor at last being shown up to be naked? Are we on the verge of a paradigm shift which might consider the role of electricity in the universe? Astronomy Hidden Horde of Planets (New Scientist, 23.7 .05,pp. 28-32) Further to our previous mention of the discovery of a tenth planet, ... astronomers are sure that, not only is there a halo of planets surrounding the solar system, just waiting to be found, but that some of them could even be larger than Earth. Venus the newcomer looks more and more likely. Planetary Orbits in Upheaval (Connecticut Post, 26.5 .05, p. 15; Spaceflight ...
455. Introduction to Velikovsky [Articles]
... man's snug little world, set in a framework of celestial harmony and imperceptible evolution, is but an illusion. Velikovsky's reappraisal of world history ravages established doctrine in disciplines from astronomy to psychology; universal gravitation of masses is not the only force governing celestial motions- electromagnetic forces must also play important roles; enigmatic breaks in the geological record denote ... discovery of the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar plasma, not to mention quasars and pulsars and black holes. Velikovsky also said that the sun is electrically charged. A Harvard astronomer, asserting that if Velikovsky wanted a mathematical refutation he would give him one, calculated that the sun cannot hold a greater negative charge than 1 volt,.whereas ...
456. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ancients aware of such astronomical cycles of catastrophism as we describe in our model? Mary Proctor writes: It was not till the time ofHalley's comet in 1682, that modern astronomy began to consider the question of the possibly periodic character of cometic motions with attention. (For my own part, I reject as altogether improbable the statement of Seneca ... there a 54-year pattern- a cyclic pattern- between catastrophes? Our answer is Yes. What were the celestial mechanics or dynamics which controlled, or dictated, such an astronomical scenario? Our answer is contained in encapsulated form in the model below. If these answers to the above questions are defensible, perhaps there is a new interpretation for ...
457. Aeon Volume VI, Number 3: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... Brown Dwarf Stars More Astronomical Discoveries In Belated Memoriam: Charles Raspil (1947-2002) Contributors Amy Acheson stumbled across Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision on her way to a career in astronomy. When she realized that the two were not compatible, she changed course only to discover that all of human endeavor — not just astronomy — would be affected. ... Page Page 5: Vox Popvli Readers sound off. Page 7: Halton Arp: A Modern-Day Galileo Amy Acheson A review of Halton Arp's work concerning his views that red-shifted astronomical bodies are not indicative of distance and/or motion, and thus age. His treatment by the astronomical community at large is compared to that received earlier by Galileo ...
458. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 4) [Journals] [Kronos]
... quibble concerns Chapter 25 in which "serious attention [is] given to Stanislav Grof, another psychiatrist, who seems to be a perfect example of a pseudo-scientist". ASTRONOMY The editor, Richard Berry, wrote a 300 word tribute to BB for the May 1980 issue which mentioned Velikovsky twice.(173) In the listing of Sagan's ... , and observing that "Unfortunately, criticism of Velikovsky's ideas never finds its way into Pensée or Kronos", Morrison advises: "The cruel truth is not only that astronomical evidence fails to support Velikovsky, but that a great deal that seemed plausible or at least possible when suggested by him has since been shown to be incorrect, and ...
459. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... our seas and remain stone-cold, unless the internal heat of Venus were able to keep it at temperatures corresponding to the brightness temperatures derived from the microwave emission." (Astronomy and Space, Vol. 2, No. 3, 1972) Kerr dispassionately cites an added anomaly: "When Pioneer Venus's probes looked at the amount of radiant ... Harry Hess, William J. Slummer wrote (Science, 14.3 .1969, p. 1191): "Some of the least expected discoveries made by planetary astronomers in recent years were correctly predicted by Velikovsky. He argued that Jupiter should be a strong source of radio waves, that the earth should have a magnetosphere, that ...
460. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Before we go further, however, a few words must be said about the terms I use, and especially about the difference between (yet relation between) cosmology and astronomy. As I see it, astronomy is the systematic study of all heavenly objects from cosmic dust to galactic super clusters, and involves such disciplines as particle physics, ... in realistic terms. It is the science of the heavens we see and fully deserves our respect because it is honest, concrete and well-founded. The efforts of most solid astronomers fall into that category and will not be touched on here. The second, and in my opinion lesser, kind is very large-scale (what we might call extraordinary ...
