... , meaning that there might be a causal relationship here. Such possibilities have not been verified, however. Nor do they render the coincidences less impressive. SIRIUS AS ARROW The star Sirius has not been seen only as "The Dog"; it has also been called "The Arrow Star" in the Old World. Sirius is the celestial Jackal for the Chinese; it is for ancient Iran, "Tishtriya", "the arrow".(48) "This is, however, no Iranian invention: the ritual text of the Babylonian New Year addresses Sirius as mulKAK.SI.DI who measures the depth of the Sea. ' mul is the prefix announcing ...
662. Astronomical Dating and Calendrics [Journals] [Aeon]
... other words, there is not a single pre-Hellenistic reference to the heavens which can be safely projected on the modern sky. But, for the sake of argument, let us assume the existence of at least one piece of such evidence while we check the second main obstacle to establishing the age of ancient events by astronomical retrocalculations. Without ancient celestial motions having been identical with those of the modern sky, the astronomical dating of ancient events would remain impossible regardless of the existence and accuracy of ancient astronomical information. As we have seen, however, there is no evidence for the latter. But what about the former? Has the Solar System always exhibited the stability required for correct ...
663. A LEAD TO FOLLOW [Journals] [Pensee]
... raised. In the cosmological field also, Pensée contributors have done pioneering work. There are several analyses of possible combinations of planetary orbits which might fit in with the conclusions drawn by Velikovsky from traditional accounts of cosmic conflict. And in IVR II we find a very bold proposal by Juergens to give electrical phenomena a far more prominent place in celestial mechanics, and especially in the generation of radiant energy in thesun and stars. Nevertheless, none of these contributors was able to suggest an energy exchange mechanism (electromagnetic or otherwise) capable of accounting quantitatively for the orbital changes proposed in Worlds in Collision. How welcome, then, were two papers in IVR VIII by Robert W. ...
664. The Magnetic Tube and the Planetary Orbits [Books] [de Grazia books]
... huge visible column of "flaming, twisting" light- again a possible source of serpentine imagery in early symbolism. The magnetic tube may have played a part in generating cosmic sounds. Archaic Greek philosophers, especially the Pythagoreans, employed the phrase "music of the spheres" to designate what has since been regarded as an unreal belief in celestial and planetary sound. That the violent forces within the tube would have emitted acoustical waves is unquestionable [52]. In the manner of => whistling atmospherics, as lately studied (Hines, p816), such sound would be trapped by the magnetic field and propagated along the magnetic tube. In the late times of the tube ...
665. Recent Developments [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is clearly shown by Pensee . One of the most remarkable recent contributions is the pair of papers in Pensee VIII by Robert W. Bass, a professor of physics at Brigham Young University. Perhaps the greatest single obstacle which natural scientists encounter on the road to considering Velikovsky's ideas seriously is the assertion frequently made by astronomers that our understanding of celestial mechanics simply will not allow planets to behave in the way claimed in Worlds in Collision . Yet Bass, whose speciality is celestial mechanics, asserts that this is not so and Newtonian mechanics do not forbid the kind of planetary encounters which Velikovsky believes took place. A colleague of the writer's - a professional astronomer - told him that these ...
666. Thoth Vol I, No. 27: December 10, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... star- presiding over the regeneration of the world. Mythically speaking, the rites of sacrifice CAME INTO BEING through the critical events in the life, the death, and the transformation of the god-king. Why, then, did a drought or plague call forth a sacrifice? Because the sacrificial rites replayed, on a microcosmic scale, the overarching celestial drama, honoring the gods through remembrance, not just repeating the divine ordeal, but repeating the RESOLUTION. The followers of Quetzalcoatl, as noted by Carrasco, insisted that "all ceremonies and rites, building temples and altars...imitated the ways of that holy man." That is what the Aztecs meant by the repeated ...
667. Velikovsky: The Score of Success [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of it. This mow turns out to be a straw wall. As early as 1960 mathematician R. A. Lyttleton calculated that the required energies for the expulsion from Jupiter of not only Venus, but of each of the terrestrial planets in turn, by means of a spin-off process, posed no insurmountable problem, even within an unrevised celestial mechanics. Now Robert W. Bass, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Brigham Young University, Utah, has conclusively established that - again even within an unrevised celestial mechanics - "there is no fundamental reason .. . that forbids' a Velikovskian shuffling of the orbits of Venus, Mars, and Earth within Biblical Times. " ...

669. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From the exploded belly of Vitra came the cosmic waters, acknowledging Indra (Super Uranus) as their new lord. Out of the waters came also the Sun. Varuna (Heaven as Super Uranus) presided, as order and truth emerged from primordial chaos. This narrative is but one culture's account of mankind's witnessing of the explosion of a celestial body. An alternative, from the Vedic period, has a Cosmic Egg (here Super Uranus) floating for a thousand years in the primordial waters (our plenum) until it burst (as a nova) to reveal the Lord of the Universe, Purusha. It may be that Purusha is yet another phase of the troubled Super ...
670. "Heaven and Earth": Catastrophism in Hamlet [Journals] [Kronos]
... cannot be restricted to the catastrophes of the fifteenth and eighth-to-seventh centuries B.C .E . set forth in Worlds In Collision. As Velikovsky has stated time and again, there were other, earlier, catastrophes, some of which were more disastrous than the Venusian and Martian ones. Because of the fact that the reconstructions of these earlier celestial dramas have not yet been published, it behooves us all to be wary of our cosmic interpretations. The most significant earlier catastrophe in Cardona's opinion involves the planet Saturn. Hamlet reflects an encumbered and dramatized version of the Saturnian catastrophes, one of the earliest that man remembers . . . the Saturnian experience has been the greatest "single ...
