... a theory is its contextual basis in an existing but not articulated cultural milieu. The prime concern of this paper is to explore the implications of living with the knowledge of catastrophism. Here is the best statement of this calling that my years of eco-freaking uncovered, and it was first handed to me by Paul Lewis, of the Department of Biology at Lethbridge, summer of 1970: (of course it is contained in the 2 page spread in the Whole Earth Catalogue) Four Changes: "Our own heads: is where it starts. Knowing that we are the first human beings in history to have all of man's culture and experience available to our study, and being free ...
572. Introduction to Velikovsky [Articles]
... Dr. Velikovsky, presenting theories which attack many of the sacred cows of modern science, and offering as his evidence a mixed bag with such odd bedfellows as, for example, astrophysics, psychology and ancient myth. He does not simply span disciplines, such as physics and chemistry, he encompasses whole fields, such as physical science and biological science and social science and the humanities. Everything that man deems important and has therefore recorded is grist for Velikovsky's mill, and no one, certainly not in the past 300 or 400 years, has ever done anything quite like this. No one has taken so man) ' diverse pieces of knowledge, from so many different human ...
573. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY [Journals] [SIS Review]
... contained in these tombs was found to be unusually well preserved. F. E. Zeuner, who carried out tests in some of these tombs when they were first opened, concluded that the material was preserved because a short while after the burials were made, natural gas containing methane and carbon dioxide entered the tombs and brought the process of biological destruction to an end (39). Earth movement and resultant fissuring are suggested as the best explanation of how this gas was suddenly released into the tombs (40). The plentiful evidence for the burning of the MBA city has already been mentioned. Kenyon stresses the violence of the conflagration, and deduces that it was the deliberate ...
574. Poleshifts, Catastrophes, And Myths [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... heady wine to place before the paleographer! It constitutes a departure from the doctrine of uniformitarianism. '. .. . But maybe the poles do move rapidly. The claim should at least be investigated rather than being dismissed without a test."24 This book is yet another attempt to analyze, test, and present the geophysical and biological evidence as it is related to a poleshift catastrophe in historical times. The reason that this idea has not been tested is testament to the stranglehold uniformitarianism has had on the mind of science over the past century and a half. This book opens with an historically significant citation that the evidence of the Earth spoke eloquently of great recent catastrophes ...
575. Super Uranus and the Primitive Planets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the flowing electrified gases, a stable gaseous tube surrounded the planets; indeed these gases pervaded the entire planetary region, enveloping all of the planets in a single sac of gases. Within this dense gaseous sac, the contents of which the ancients called the aether [31], and we will call the plenum, the planets could receive biologically necessary temperatures from the axial electrical discharge connecting the Sun with Super Uranus (de Grazia, 1981). If today's aircraft had existed then, they might have flown regularly among the planets. The approximate size of the gaseous tube within which the Earth and the other planets moved was at most the diameter of the Sun, and at ...
576. The Solar System as Electrical [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the Sun the gas is sufficiently hot and dense enough to bring about => nuclear fusion on a large scale. A thermonuclear Sun is an attractive theory since the Sun seems to be composed mainly of hydrogen. By compressing itself into a nuclear-powered core the Sun might radiate energy long enough to accommodate the gradual evolutionary processes believed necessary for the biological and geological developments that have occurred on the Earth. However, thermonuclear fusion processes must dispose of large numbers of => neutrinos, and a vastly insufficient number of neutrinos have been detected on Earth in experiments specifically designed to capture the normally elusive solar neutrinos (Parker, p31). Before the nuclear Sun theory was presented, several ...
577. Velikovsky's Legacy [Articles]
... of Newton, lies before us as a great uncharted ocean, and we have not yet sailed very far from the coast of ignorance. In the study of the human soul we have learned only a few mechanisms of behavior as directed from the subconscious mind, but we do not know what thinking is or what memory is. And in biology we do not know what life is. The age of basic discoveries is not yet at its end, and you are not latecomers, for whom no fundamentals are left to discover.... Don't be afraid of ridicule; think of the history of all great discoveries. I quote Alfred North Whitehead: "If you have ...

579. The Transfiguration of Trauma [Books] [de Grazia books]
... governs the socalled "archaic mind" and carries through to modernity. Indeed, one must credit the doctrine of uniformitarianism, and all of its ramifications in the sciences and philosophy, as being the first successful counterattack of the human mind against the fetters that catastrophes imposed upon it. It was largely this modern doctrine in astronomy, geology, biology, and finally religion and politics that smoothed out the external cycles, made the proven details of history important, claimed millions of year for human development, and set up the idea of progress - all of these being achievements that would have been difficult without denying the importance of what happened in illo tempore. The myth of the Love ...
580. Sediments [Books] [de Grazia books]
... examination according to the quantavolution hypothesis in ground not believed to have experienced tectonism historically. Furthermore, a probable catastrophic cause may be assignable to soil processes that are considered ordinary and gradual. Goosen writes: The formation of a laminated deposit via the season after season theory occurs only in highly exceptional circumstances. Wherever flooding occurs, there is also biological activity. The Rhine in the Netherlands each year floods pastures within the zone between the dikes, and leaves a thin deposit of clay. In the thus accumulated soil there is absolutely no lamination. The growing grass plus organisms like worms lead to homogenization. Indeed, it will be difficult to find on earth an environment where the season ...
