... closely, both qualitatively and quantitatively with the observational data. No less an astronomer than E. Opik, whose order of magnitude estimates (Irish Astron. J., 1973) confirm Wood's thesis, regards this work as important and as unduly neglected by astronomers. Professor Wood's son, Dr. Robert M. Wood, using results from celestial mechanics, has derived a theoretical formula (to appear) which predicts the cited 11.08 year period from the motions of the three planets mentioned. Greater accuracy can be obtained by consideration of all nine planets. Dr. E. K. Bigg has demonstrated the influence of Mercury on sunspots. Dr. John Nelson has shown ...
542. A Calendric View Of Stonehenge [Journals] [Kronos]
... .2422 days 235 lunations = 6939.691 days 19 solar years = 6939.602 days Difference = .089 days or 2.14 hours What this means is that every 19 years the new and full moons fall on the same days of the solar year. This is true regarding half moons as well. The knowledge of this celestial phenomenon enabled various peoples in the early history of mankind to devise chronological systems which thus reconciled solar and lunar times. In those systems, months were counted as of 29 or 30 days alternately, an arrangement that averaged out quite close to the actual length of a lunation. A year of 12 lunar months falls nearly 11 days short ...
543. Senmut and Phaeton: Supplementary Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the lion with a crocodile's tail. If the identification of Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda is correct, the small figure between them will be Ophiucus, who is also known as "the serpent bearer". It may also be noted that some authorities see Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda as simply the head and the tail of a single celestial serpent which winds its way either through or around Ophiucus. Senmut seems to have seen the serpent as divided into either four or five sub-sections stretching up almost as far as Scorpius (as is quite plausible), each of them represented by a separate crocodile. 2. Mars and the Egyptian Underworld The supposition that the Egyptian Gods of ...
544. Collective Amnesia: A Brief History of the Concept [Journals] [Kronos]
... his studies in Vienna with Dr. Wilhelm Stekel (one of Freud's influential protegés), and his practice in Haifa and Tel-Aviv as a psychoanalyst (until 1939). Most directly, it follows his long interest in the theoretical psychologies of Sigmund Freud and Carl G. Jung and his own analysis of mental life grounded in the concept of celestial catastrophism. Velikovsky evidently believes that what Jung refers to as "the collective unconscious"- which is part of what Freud calls "the collective mind"- is the repository of repressed memories relating to terrifying cataclysms in mankind's ancient past. The near-total destructiveness of catastrophes as described in Worlds in Collision so shocked the human psyche that any ...
545. The Electric Universe CD by Wallace Thornhill [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... high energy ions near the nucleus that the material was being electrically removed. " [The Electric Universe CD, pg. 43] Thornhill goes on to discuss non-gravitational orbital anomalies of comets, then challenges received opinion that a comet is defined by its size and composition. He claims instead that it is the eccentricity of the orbit of a celestial body, moving it into regions of increasing electrical stress, which creates the visible tail. "A planet on such an orbit would put on a spectacular cometary display." Thornhill accepted the challenge of integrating the cultural record of mythology and the experiments of the plasma lab and the advances of the space age into a coherent picture. ...
546. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... transformations took the form of cycles, but the transformations of one era were the inheritance of the next one. Hence it might be more exact to speak of a spiral of history. The impulses for the great changes of the world came from the skies. There the greatest forces of the universe abide and interact. In each age, celestial bodies signalled and inaugurated revolutions of the earth and life. Earth forces and life forces reacted. Humans, too, reacted, although from the beginning they dreamt of controlling the skies and earth and themselves as well. Unhappily the control was mostly managed by a set of illusions and delusions. Human arrogance has been a reciprocal of pitiable ...
547. Khima And Kesil [Journals] [Kronos]
... Samuel was regarded as a great authority in the field of astronomy, actually as the Talmudic authority in this science. The Tractate Brakhot so explicitly points to the cause of the Deluge that, before classifying the narrative in Genesis in its entirety as folkloristic imagery (which in part it most certainly is), we ought to inquire: Which celestial body is Khima? In the rabbinical literature Khima is referred to as Mazal Khima(2 ) Mazal is "planet". Then which planet is Khima? In the Old Testament there are several instances where Khima is mentioned. In Job (9 : 5-9), the Lord is He who "removes mountains... overturns ...
... might, loveliness, and grace, of humility and fear of sin. Equipped by God with extraordinary wisdom, sagacity, judgment, knowledge, learning, compassionateness, love, kindness, grace, humility, strength, power, might, splendor, beauty, shapeliness, and all other excellent qualities, beyond the endowment of any of the celestial beings, Enoch received, besides, many thousand blessings from God, and his height and his breadth became equal to the height and the breadth of the world, and thirty-six wings were attached to his body, to the right and to the left, each as large as the world, and three hundred and sixty-five thousand eyes were ...
549. Venus years - An explanatory note [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Modern practice is to analyse planetary motions in terms of conjunctions and oppositions with the sun but these are seldom directly observable, due to the glare of the sun, and the ancients substituted observable heliacal risings' for conjunctions'. Heliacal rising implies simultaneous rising of the sun and a planet (or star). By definition, if two celestial bodies are in perfect conjunction, they must also rise and set simultaneously. There are complications which slightly modify this idealised equation. Firstly, the modern convention is that conjunction occurs when two bodies have the same celestial longitude but perfect conjunction' requires them also to have the same declination (or ecliptic latitude), which is seldom the ...
550. Velikovsky Symposium- Florida, July 12 [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... ancient memories counted as evidence and called for rigorous cross-cultural comparisons. This appeal to ancient testimony was considered absurd by virtually every critic. At our symposium in November of 1994, I asked the astronomer Tom Van Flandern if he agreed with this statement: "that there is considerable evidence to suggest ancient civilizations may have arisen in the shadow of celestial catastrophe, and if so would he agree that ancient myths and symbols deserve careful study and cross-cultural comparison to see if they might point to the nature of the upheavals." I found it very interesting that he agreed with both statements. And what do you think the astronomers Clube and Napier have done? Do you really want to ...
