... two-page heading for this topic entitled "Solar Oscillations" in 16 point type. Why is it so urgent to mistake the solar decay data for solar oscillations? Clearly evolutionary astronomy, the nebular hypothesis, has a problem for which an evolutionary consensus has yet to be reached. Unwrapping this problem to the general reading community and thoroughly discussing it ... Testament (The Mars-Earth Conflicts), scheduled for release in September of this year. Our position will be that the planets have achieved their present orbits "recently" in astronomical time, that is, within the last 150,000 years, and for three of them within the last dozen millennia. We also concur that some of the ...
622. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal, I cite the following: "1 . This period of two hundred and twenty three lunations is that described by Ptolemy in the fourth book of his Astronomy, in which he deals with the average motion of the moon. The Chaldeans seem notto have been able to make a skilful use of it, for their books ... as he claimed that the near-colliding worlds of Velikovsky could never happen) Doyle was not a scientist (and understood nothing of scientific import- just as Velikovsky was not an astronomer and understood nothing of astronomical import) Doyle relies on the long disclaimed ether (which professional scientists know not to exist- just as Velikovsky relied on electromagnetism which astronomers ...
623. An Interim Reply To Weir [Journals] [Kronos]
... pages 1-12). In the course of his discussion, Weir defends his own paper, "The Venus Tablets: A Fresh Approach", Journal for the History of Astronomy, XIII (1982), pages 23-49, as well as his 1972 book, The Venus Tablets of Ammizaduga. He also announces his intention to write an article ... suggestion. When we referred to Huber's and Weir's use of the attested 30-day months of Ammisaduqa, it was in connection with their conversion of retrocalculated Julian dates (for the astronomical events that are supposed to correspond to their alleged Venus "data") into Babylonian lunar dates. For this purpose, the attested 30-day months of Ammisaduqa are the ...
624. The Year -747, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... -747 a new calendar was introduced in the Middle East, and that year is known as "the beginning of the era of Nabonassar." It is asserted that some astronomical event gave birth to this new calendar, but the nature of the event is not known. The beginning of the era of Nabonassar, otherwise an obscure Babylonian king ... 7 S. Newcomb, The American Nautical Almanac, 1891 (1890). 8 A.

625. A NEW CHAPTER IN THE "VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR" [Journals] [Pensee]
... was based on instinct rather than reason. The suggestion that continents are floating on a molten interior also seemed ridiculous to Fred Hoyle not many years ago. In Frontiers of Astronomy [1955] (which was reprinted in 1970 without correction) he writes "we need scarcely take the notion of drifting continents' at all seriously." Now ...

Öpik finds the world in grave danger from dictatorial regimes owing to the "phenomenal credulity" of people like those who read Velikovsky. Apparently the strange ...
626. Answer to Jonsson [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Vol. XVIII) (Brown U., R.I .) 1955, p. xxxi. 8. It was probably lunar, as my limited knowledge of astronomy tells me that lunar eclipses usually occur once or twice a year, during full moon, i.e . about the 15th day of a lunar month. A ... to the Assyrian anchor date of 763 BC. Although this date was arrived at by retro-calculation, all kinds of questions remain. How was it calculated? Is it an astronomical or historical date? And so on. I accept this as a working date because it is well understood by scholars, but I don't know whether it is exact ...
627. The Electric Universe [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to offer a satisfactory explanation of the massive charge separation and accumulation required. Most astronomers ignored the evidence for electrical discharges, even in books claiming to include all aspects of astronomy, but now that L. K. has described a charging process of sufficient magnitude, this attitude can no longer be justified. L. K. has applied ... (1902-1979)(2 ) but his published papers and mine(3 ) were unable to offer a satisfactory explanation of the massive charge separation and accumulation required.

... remotely justified at a serious scientific meeting." Evidently the official word had not spread to all the scientific community nor, specifically, to all who are allowed to publish astronomy related papers, since some recent publications describe the same type of events which King disavowed. In 1970, S. F. Singer published in Science 170, p ... against Velikovsky were irrational, and it took very little education to notice that slight of hand instead of science was being used to supposedly refute his work. For example: astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin once stated that if the Earth stopped rotating, everyone would fly off at 900 miles an hour. Many people noticed, however, that without her hands ...
629. Ancient Knowledge of Jupiter's Bands and Saturn's Rings [Journals] [Kronos]
... massive conviction of contemporary science, backed by a stable sky and a workable celestial mechanics- or more bluntly, if one were to dismiss certain premises and conclusions of modem astronomy- one would apply modern psychological and anthropological analysis to the coincidence and to the words of Proclus, and suggest, as Taylor could not say 150 years ago, ... generate concepts of rule and law in the universe so as to complete and perfect the process of anaesthesia or amnesia. However, since few scholars are prepared to discount current astronomical retrojections of the state of the skies, or to believe in an astronomically learned ancient civilization that was subsequently destroyed, the coincidence may be handed over to non-scientific folklorists ...
630. Mulholland: "A Celestial Mechanician Whose Name is Almost Synonymous with High Precision" [Journals] [Kronos]
... improved if he would carefully read Velikovsky's own discussions of these matters as well as some of the supporting literature, rather than just repeat the same old tired dogmas of uniformitarian astronomy. Mulholland repeatedly claimed, both in his paper and in the discussions, that contemporary celestial mechanics takes into account electromagnetic factors. But when it came down to specifics ... ." He asserted that the knowledge that electromagnetic phenomena participate in the working of the solar system was, from the beginning of the century, in the sight of the astronomers. Einstein, however, in the summer of 1954 expressed himself in writing to me very clearly to the effect that my introduction of electromagnetism into celestial mechanics was the ...
