... catastrophic proportions in the ocean levels of the age. Could there have been a great freeze, a deluge, a breaking into new basins such as the North Sea and Baltic Sea (actually in both cases indicated)? Or could the land have risen around and below the seas- just as disastrous an event? IV. "Every biological species underwent radical change around 3500 years ago in numbers, habitat, behavior or genetics:" such would be our fourth proposition, concerning the Biosphere. There is much evidence regarding numbers- including human destruction as for instance among the Israelites and Egyptians, also much concerning changes of habitat, abandonment of settlements, changes in behavior. ...
542. The Burning of Troy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... fall of gases, hydrocarbons, burning pitch, and stones, of course, is Velikovsky's "first cause." Even metals (again the layer of copper and lead) have been reputed to fall. Such events are unknown to modern experience but are indicated by ancient legends from many places [28], and by various geological and biological phenomena [29]. We cannot ignore the Biblical sources that speak of "fire and brimstone (sulphur)" such as that which wiped out "the cities of the plain." The Cincinnati team writes in several places of the greenish-yellow discoloration characteristically found in the debris of streets and other once open areas [30]. ...
543. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... freedom of inquiry and the practice of military research "controlled by governments in an atmosphere of rigid secrecy". Sagan is criticized for not explaining the differences between science and pseudoscience and chided for not being able to bring himself to mention NASA's official interpretation of the Viking search for life on Mars, namely, that Mars is chemically, not biologically, active. The end of the review cites four instances in which Sagan's knowledge of recent scientific facts is lacking precision, and one speculation so fantastic that the reviewer fades the conclusion into an ellipsis.(23) THE BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS Paul de Forest, professor of political science at Illinois Institute of Technology, presented his ...
544. Can Psychoanalysis be a Science? An Introduction to Velikovsky [Journals] [Horus]
... to Velikovsky's own discoveries and the storm of controversy which followed throughout his life. As an accomplished psychoanalyst Velikovsky's own research had opened a new window into the unconscious mind that revealed a wholly different view than those through which Freud and other early analysts had looked. Theirs were instinct theories; the unconscious mind and its characteristics were rooted in the biological nature and evolution of the race. In Velikovsky's theory the primary source was environmental and historical, giving it a special quality among psychoanalytic theories; it could be directly tested by the existing methods of other scientific disciplines! This, of course, was where the trouble started. When, before Worlds in Collision was published, Velikovsky sought ...
545. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream [Journals] [Kronos]
... . It is to be expected, therefore, that certain kinds of fear-inducing experience, such as severe local natural disorder, might awaken unconscious racial memories in man of earlier catastrophic natural disorder . It is a condition to which racially-traumatised man ought logically to be subject, if Velikovsky is correct. We may venture to express it as an inherent biological possibility asymptotic meteorological events of a fearful nature produce an unrest effect which may induce, as Jaarsma and Odenwald put it, terror concerning the stability of the natural order. This terror, if sufficiently stimulating, may bring repressed ancestral memories of Velikovskian catastrophism close to the threshold of consciousness, where they are available to certain types of persons ...

547. Comments on Ferralite Events [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... The Earth receives about 10,000,000 tons of cosmic matter annually. The composition of this matter probably corresponds to that of chondrites, with an iron content of 25%. Thus, the Earth receives about 2500,000 tons of iron per year. The chondritic dust is destroyed during weathering, and free iron is dispersed by biological and other processes. As a result of a prolonged evolution the vegetation and the soils have adapted to receiving a certain amount of iron - some millions of tons. However, the weathering processes will release more and more iron from the accumulating cosmic dust, and there may come a moment when vegetation and soils are no longer able to ...

549. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... Law as a "law of nature". This alleged law of nature had a tinge of Pythagorean occult knowledge from the very beginning. It appeared for the first time in print in 1766, when J. D. Tietz (Titius), a professor at the University of Wittenberg, who wrote on many subjects, particularly physics and biology, but whose main interest was natural theology, gratuitously inserted it into Bonnet's Contemplation de la nature which he was translating into German. Then J. E. Bode, the professional astronomer who championed the nebular hypothesis about the origin of the solar system, in 1772 entered it as a footnote to one of his books; but later ...
550. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... spinning of the earth around her axis. It consisted of seven to nine superimposed plasmoids, developed filaments, spirals, and vortices, emitted radial jets, twisted and wriggled, and finally collapsed, dispersing its constituent parts through space. The magnetic field of the earth recovered but slowly and it would take even longer for the climates and the biological populations to recover. Several centuries, or even millennia, had to pass for the smaller and bigger pieces of debris, roaming through the solar system, to evaporate and dissolve, enabling the solar system finally to regain stability. The plasma column and the lumps of plasma that had once dominated the firmament lingered on in memory as mighty ...
