... important because, up to then, this had generally been thought to be impossible(23)- which, if nothing else, proves that what is thought impossible in astronomy today may become quite possible tomorrow. V Hills' above model did suggest to him that a reasonable estimate for the relaxation of the Jovian planets into their present orbits ... from postulating the near-annihilation (99.9 %) of a 90 Earth-mass object. I stress this because I want to impress people like Ellenberger with the fact that conventional astronomers, like us catastrophists, are not averse to postulating "far-fetched" events when the facts seem to call for them.

If his theory should prove to be valid, not only astronomy but history and a good many of the anthropological and social sciences would need to be reconsidered both for their content and explanation.

Grazia Five Years Countdown to Confrontation Velikovsky's Challenge Bibliography Immanuel Velikovsky's Jewish Science Before Worlds Collide For decades, from even before his public humiliation at the hands of Macmillan and the astronomers, until his final years, Velikovsky would be a prophet without much of a following, a seer with few disciples. His prophetic spirit was an intellectual one, ...

... will see the following description of what constitutes a "gamma ray burster". "October 13, 1998: Cosmic gamma-ray bursts have been called the greatest mystery of modern astronomy. They are powerful blasts of gamma- and X-radiation that come from all parts of the sky, but never from the same direction twice. Space satellites indicate that ... a kind of misnomer. The shape of this thin grouping begins to drop off steeply at its (cooler) right end much as the main sequence does. A professional astronomer has been quoted as saying: "The observed white dwarfs are basically cooling embers. The nuclear fire of the stars burned out billions of years ago. The light ...
476. New Frontiers on the Stability of the Solar System [Articles]
... the putative age of the Solar System. Again, we thought that we would do it for the five outer planets. A consortium was formed of Glasgow University Department of Astronomy, Queen Mary College, London, the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Liverpool Department of Mathematics and Pisa University in Italy Department of Mathematics, because some of them were working ... I wasn't the first to think of this. Other people had thought of it, but it isn't something that had wandered into the general literature, and so you got astronomers who were not celestial mechanicians saying, of course it is well known that celestial mechanicians have shown that the Solar System is stable for millions of years. So to ...

No man can today be an ... years since 1950 have forced extensive revision of astronomy texts in order to correct the misinformation they contained about the temperatures of the planets, the role of electricity and magnetism in astronomical phenomena, the wanderings of the Earth's axis, etc. On the other hand, no major claim made by Velikovsky in Worlds in Collision in 1950 has had to ...

... corollary to Thornhill's Electric Universe is a theory that engineer Ralph Juergens originated concerning the mechanism that powers the Sun. Following in Juergen's path, Donald Scott contends that present mainstream astronomy is attempting to ignore the data that contradicts their accepted "nuclear fusion" model. Scott suggests that both the Polar Configuration and the Electric Universe hypothesis are strongly supported ... heavenly figures that he worshipped as gods. The myths and pictographs of antiquity clearly show that, at one time, our eyes saw a vastly different sky from the one astronomers view in their instruments today.
