... the various other phenomena. It is shown that a wide variety of data is compatible with this hypothesis, not only from modern geological and related investigations, but also from astronomy and from ancient sources. 1. Introductions The origin of the Earth's magnetic field is problematical. Currently it is supposed that the rotating metallic core acts as a dynamo ... a magnetic reversal at all. Instead I propose a geographic reversal. Not only can this explain the above data but it also brings into perspective many otherwise enigmatic archaeological, astronomical, historical and other data. Figure 1. (a ) Initial spin state, with rotation P about the vertical axis. (b ) and (c ) ...
... language, "He is a fraud"? How many of us have the comfortable familiarity with the Bible, the related histories of the Middle East, the terminology of astronomy, to reject a man who presents a massively detailed discussion of those subjects, even though that man seems a bit queer, a bit egocentric, a little too ... . Velikovsky was scorned not for blending but for rejecting wholesale the accepted views in several disciplines; for his ignorance concerning much that he discussed or rejected; for saying that astronomers were wrong about astronomy, geologists about geology, historians about history, physicists about physics. Velikovsky's "challenge to conventional views in science" (Chapter ~, Velikovsky's ...

... left-handed compliment, this reference at least demonstrates that astronomers are aware of what Bruce has been saying all these years. 2. J. H.

Their possible existence was not overlooked by careful astronomers many years ago . . ." Kruskal further argues that if the sun and all the planets were charged alike (same polarity) and in proportion to their masses ...

... the eighth century before this era? There is evidence that long before the eighth century Mars was a planet in the solar system. A four-planet system was known to Chaldean astronomy, in which Venus was absent but Mars was present. There does not exist, at least in the extant material, any mention of the first appearance of Mars ... 12 Mars was generally regarded by other peoples, too, as a "fire-star."13 Ying-Huo, or the fire planet, is the name of Mars in Chinese astronomical charts.14 Sargon ( -724 to -705), father of Sennacherib, wrote on one occasion: "In the month of Abu, the month of descent ...

... might have been recorded by other nations. Finding the evidence he sought in abundance, he plunged into ten more years of research, synthesising history, myth, geology and astronomy into an extraordinary book, Worlds in Collision. The "highly unscientific fury" which ensued was to lead Velikovsky into many years of violent controversy, which has already ... momentous of his long and eventful career. He lectured at NASA research centres, at colleges and universities - including Harvard and Princeton; he debated with a new generation of astronomers, geologists, biologists and historians on public platforms and in print, at the same time developing the implications of his theories in many fields. He avoided no challenge ...

Since then, an unending stream of publications has been devoted to the subject of catastrophic mass-extinctions [39]. In 1982, two British mainstream astronomers, Victor Clube and William Napier, were the first post-Darwinists to postulate global catastrophes within historical time [40]. Soon, they found brothers-in-arms for that endeavour [ ...

Explicit namings of red span a millennium, from a Babylonian cuneiform text to the Greek astronomer Ptolemy.

688. The Anomalous Condition of Venus and the Origin of the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Central Somerset Gazette of December 10th described him as "a brilliant and well-known author and poet, having written a total of 33 books* on such widely-diversified subjects as astronomy and extrasensory perception as well as topographical books on Scotland and the Isle of Arran". To emphasise the interdisciplinary nature of his learning, the article mentions that, ... being a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, he helped found the Glastonbury Assembly of Poets. With Firsoff's passing, science has lost another gadfly: he was familiar to astronomers for his articles in various scientific journals pointing out to researchers what most of them had been trying - with fair success - to ignore: that the age of the ...

' in KRONOS II.1 , pp. 11-15, where Ralph E. Juergens grapples with this problem. -Ed.
