... Sagan on this very point. Jastrow stated what Davidson could not bring himself to report, namely that "Professor Sagan's calculations in effect, ignore the law of gravity. Here Dr. Velikovsky was the better astronomer."33 This very same criticism was also presented by Dr. Robert Bass, a mathematician, whose field of research is celestial mechanics. Both these 31 Keay Davidson, Carl Sagan A Life (N .Y . 1999), p. 470. 32 Ibid, pp. 262-263. 33 Robert Jastrow, The New York Times (Dec. 22, 1979), p. 22 E.

... of Dynamics and Gravitation . for planets to nearly collide and then relax into an apparently stable Bode's law . . . configuration within a relatively short time; therefore Velikovsky's historical evidence cannot be ignored." By a relatively short time, Bass meant times of the order of centuries. He stated also that "three of the greatest contemporary mathematical celestial mechanicians have stated explicitly and recently that nothing known to them forbids Velikovsky's hypothesis.~~ Velikovsky's Later Work Velikovsky contributed many articles to Pensée [~ 18- 20, 422, 423, 437- 4 1, 443, 444,446] and toKronos. He published two sequels to Ages in Chaos- in 1977 Peoples of the Sea ...
683. Ashton's Bedrock of Myth (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... impossible polarity with a stubbornness that increases with every rebuttal. Therefore, publication in a Saturnist periodical, were that possible, would not help much." [107] In another personal letter, Ashton elaborated on his "Bedrock" as follows: "When late devolution of myth includes substitution of planets for gods or godly attributes, the celestial polar image having vanished either from view or from the imagination, there are two substitution sets. The seven crescents become Sun and Moon and five planets. The five directions become Saturn middle, Venus east, Mercury north, Jupiter west, and Mars south, as I reconstruct of the planets David Talbott cites in TSM [The Saturn ...

... and this "majestic order prevails universally." (16) Every moving body in space falls under this scheme-"The theory of the motion of the moon is so perfect that its position can be computed for every instant," gravity acts "With extraordinary exactness" and even comets were placed by Brahe into "the orderly domains of celestial bodies," permitting scientists to compute the path of Halley's Comet "with perfect certainty." (17) So perfect is this knowledge, being founded on "an infallible basis," that "Mere words cannot do justice to it." "If we are entitled to conclude that we understand anything whatever," (18 ...
685. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 2) [Journals] [Kronos]
... " resulted from a too hasty reading of Mulholland's succinctly reasoned paper. The final paragraph is the apotheosis of humility and deference, an unprecedented prostration: I apologize to J. Derral Mulholland for a too-quick reading of his chapter and for poorly worded comments on it in my review. He is a highly qualified astronomer and a recognized authority on celestial mechanics; and although we approach science from different areas of expertise and may choose to write with different styles and emphasis, there is no disagreement between us concerning the fundamental issues addressed in Scientists Confront Velikovsky. The January 1979 Physics Today contained a much abbreviated version of the apology.(107) Although apparently overtaken by penitence, Abell ...
686. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... thrice fifty women of Fianchaire (white-rock?), and finally the triad have to shout thrice on the hill of Miodhchaoin (miodh = mid, centre) in the North of Lochlann. During their quest they sail in an enchanted Canoe which is clearly a variant of the good ship Argo. Now all these are "properties" in celestial Cosmic Myths, and the whole of the exploits of this Tower, this Axis, triad are of a similar character. The Eric-fines are laid on them, too, in Miodh Chuarta, Mid-court, the central heavens-palace of Tara (also a hill or tower name). Brigit, the mother of this triad is made a goddess ...
687. The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual - Part I [Journals] [Aeon]
... beloved son; I have split open your mouth for you." (Pyramid Texts, Utterance 20) [2 ] Introduction "the mouth-sign... used to write the word for mouth... very few words are actually written in this way." [3 ] As Ev Cochrane asserted, in his Venus and the Celestial Here-after: "If there is one thing that stands out about the Egyptian civili-zation, it is an obsessive preoccupation with death and the means whereby immortality might be achieved." [4 ] This preoccupation was due to the beliefs of the Egyptian elite who, from the earliest recorded times, seemed far more concerned with their sur-vival into ...
688. Part II: The Comet [Ragnarok] [Books]
... Mexico; and he thinks he sees, under the microscope, traces of vegetable growth: Francis Birgham says: " This entire ex-terrestrial fauna hitherto discovered, which already comprises about fifty different species and which originates from different meteoric falls, even some during the last century, conveys the impression that it doubtlessly once formed part of a single ex-terrestrial celestial body with a unique creation, which in bygone' ages seems to have been overtaken by a grand catastrophe, during which it was broken up into fragments." 13 When we remember that meteors are now generally believed to be the droppings of comets' we come very near to proof of the supposition that comets are the debris of ...
689. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... go further, however, a few words must be said about the terms I use, and especially about the difference between (yet relation between) cosmology and astronomy. As I see it, astronomy is the systematic study of all heavenly objects from cosmic dust to galactic super clusters, and involves such disciplines as particle physics, astrophysics, celestial mechanics, etc. Astronomy therefore looks for laws about, creates models of, and tries to explain and predict motion and change among the observable heavenly bodies. It is a restricted field with specialised research, while cosmology is the larger study of the universe considered as a whole' (Merleau-Ponty, xii). In my opinion, ...
