This book endeavours to bring about a kind of synthesis between the findings of mythology and astronomy, or, rather, between that part of mythology which is concerned with lunar and other cosmological myths, and that part of astronomy Which tries to penetrate the problems ... the problems of its age, its motion, its size, its density, its material constitution, its surface features and their history, cause greater differences in opinion than astronomical textbooks usually reveal. Yet the astronomers are not the only learned men to be perplexed by the Moon: the mythologists are in a much more precarious position. There ...

The confusion of Venus with Sirius renders obsolete the astronomical computations made for Egyptian chronology.

In the effort to circumvent them set-theory calculations were often pushed to stratospheric heights. In astronomy these involved the notion of the Great Year. In acoustics the meganumbers were the result of computations like the 30 circlings of the scale 12 X 30 = 360) ... is logarithmic (Equal Temperament). Always the spiral was extended upward, hoping thereby to find the desired closure between fifths (the tuning interval) and octaves. Meanwhile astronomers persisted in the supposition that, after a certain length of time, all of the heavenly bodies would return to a position of synchronization. Once again, the idea ...

If it should not prove to be ... and signed by his secretary: "Dr. Shapley asks me to write you that your unelaborated statements or arguments about the atmospheres of the planets are not sufficient grounds for astronomers to examine your claims." I replied to Shapley eight days later: There is nothing I would like better than to substantiate my statements of April 15th and 17th ...
615. Propaganda And Scientific History [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ? The answer is that these educated men were schooled in Aristotelean cosmology which held as its basic tenet that the Earth was a sphere. A.Pannekoek's A History of Astronomy, explains it: "Aristotle presents the structure of the universe as having perfectly radial spherical symmetry. The world is arranged according to spheres and spherical shells around a ... world was flat. Columbus, they thought, would fall off the Earth."23 Nor is this error found only among the poorly educated. John Huchra, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Institute for Astrophysics was quoted as saying: "Back then [when the New World was discovered] there was a lot of theoretical yet incorrect knowledge ...
... and did not intend to, Doubleday, having taken over publication from Macmillan, had also been besieged: Whipple, Shapley's successor at Harvard, withdrew a popular series of astronomy books from one of Doubleday's subsidiaries [7 ~] . The American Association for the Advancement of Science discussed ways of censoring books dealing with science, in order to ... Vehikovsky's ideas had been proved valid. The fuse was lit when Science published ajoint letter [22] from the physicist V. Bargmann (of Princeton University) and the astronomer Lloyd Motz (of Columbia University): In the light of recent discoveries . . . we think it proper and just to make the following statement. On 14 ...

Brandt INTRODUCTION For two and one-half centuries the orbital mechanics of Newton and Kepler has provided astronomers and astrophysicists with an almost perfect explanation of the motion of celestial bodies in the solar system. During this period, the precession of the orbital aphelion of Mercury was ...
