[12] Had astronomers forgotten all about the same discoveries decades earlier? Later that same year, David Golimowski and Dan Schroeder nixed the whole thing. More sensitive observations led these two observers ...

... In their letter published in Science (December 21, 1962), Professor V. Bargmann, Department of Physics, Princeton University, and Professor Lloyd Motz, Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, called attention to the originality and to the correctness of my predictions of radio noises from Jupiter and of a very high temperature of Venus (they ... shown in error, which perhaps explains why he has seen fit to prevent the publication of the transcript of the meeting" (Reader's Forum, Mercury: Journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, November/December, 1975, page 35).

545. On Cosmic Electricity [Journals] [Pensee]
... to the question of charging. Electrical atmospheric discharges similar to lightning produce a magnetic field which compresses the channel of the current. When this occurs in a prolonged discharge in astronomy it causes aggregation of large volumes of thinly distributed gas and matter into relatively narrow channels, so that when the current dies away the compressed gas expands and cools, ... of magnetic fields I have left to the end the most direct proof of the identity of astrophysical phenomena and electrical discharges, involving what must be one of the most important astronomical observations ever made. In a letter to me in January 1968, Dr. A. B. Severny, Head of the Astrophysical Observatory of the Crimea, whose ...

He served as professor of astronomy at Hopkins, 1900-1910, and as professor of celestial mechanics at Columbia University, 1910-1944. In ... the most unusual chapters in all of man's history, not just scientific history. An obvious question: Why should a rather obscure mathematical theorist, whose prediction of an obscure astronomic event generate such world-wide interest, producing a ticker-tape parade down New York's Wall Street in 1921? 1 asked myself this question as a teenager and college student, observing ...
547. On the Recent Discoveries Concerning Jupiter and Venus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , Immanuel Velikovsky, addressing the Forum of the Graduate College of Princeton University in a lecture entitled Worlds in Collision in the Light of Recent Finds in Archaeology, Geology and Astronomy: Refuted or Verified? ' concluded the lecture as follows: The planet Jupiter is cold, yet its gases are in motion. It appears probable to me that ... of strong radio signals emanating from Jupiter. They recorded the signals for several weeks before they correctly identified the source. This discovery came as something of a surprise because radio astronomers had never expected a body as cold as Jupiter to emit radio waves [1 ]. In 1960 V. Radhakrishnah of India and J. A. Roberts of ...
548. The "Bulk Chemistries" of Venus and Jupiter [Journals] [Kronos]
... Ed.] At a recent symposium on "Velikovsky and the Recent History of the Solar System" (McMaster University, June 1974) David Morrison of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa raised an old argument against Worlds in Collision: ". . . consider the bulk composition of Venus. From its mean density ... massive core of heavy elements violated prevailing professional opinion about the origin of the Sun and the Solar System. The problem, as he imagined it (Monthly Notices, Royal Astronomical Society 107, 84, 1947), was that his model attributed too little hydrogen - less than ten percent by mass - to the giant planet. As G ...

... planned symposium on Velikovsky's work at the 1974 convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. An invitation to participate was extended to Velikovsky by Professor Ivan King (astronomy, University of California, Berkeley), chairman elect of the AAAS astronomical section. The symposium, tentatively titled "Velikovsky's Challenge to Science," will last a ... Chaos, is not even discussed. . ." Nor was it discussed, except as a footnote, in the next two issues, which focused largely on physical and astronomical matters. But in this our fourth issue (and in the fifth as well) we come face to face with pharaohs and papyri, king lists and chronologies. ...
550. On Sothic Dating: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... 2782 as the starting years of the Egyptian calendar.... But the dispute is futile. A calendar is a tool which cannot be justified by either logic or astronomy. The Egyptian calendar took account of the Nile and not of Sirius. . . Furthermore, there is no inherent necessity to start a new calendar on its first ... a few fixed points of reference, Egyptian chronology would be a very uncertain field." The application of Sothic dating presumes, among other things: 1) That Sothic astronomical calculations do, in fact, have historical validity; 2) That the calendar of Egypt remained unaltered throughout that period of history to which Sothic dating is applied; ...
