... , caused an increase of land and islands in another place, caused nearly 100 villages to be buried under lava, caused a huge tidal wave, and originated the violent rains! A "landslip " under the sea did this! We have evidence of the "afterglow" for some nights previously, which suggests the near presence of a celestial body. We have the evidence of the British vessel and the blue meteor. Mr. Charles Fort collected other evidence of this celestial body. On August 28, a night later, Captain Noble, a well-known amateur astronomer, saw a sight that he described as "like a new and most glorious comet." An observer at ...
712. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... had exposed the vacuousness of Bass's papers in 1974, when supposedly a dialogue existed between Velikovsky's supporters and detractors in Pensée , I would never have gotten as involved with Velikovsky as I later did. The only person ever to say anything to me about Bass was J. D. Mulholland who remarked: "Mr. Bass does not do celestial mechanics, rather he talks celestial mechanics. I do not believe his conclusions, nor do I believe that they are firmly founded in rigorous mathematics. They are largely hand-waving."- (Mulholland to Ellenberger, April 14, 1978). At the time, this did not impress me; but after my own extensive research, ...

... moon as well as with the planet of that name" (emphasis added). As one can readily see, Velikovsky made no slip, though Sagan, in attempting to attribute one, has made yet another. Sagan (p . 17): "It does not increase our confidence in the presentation of less familiar myths when the celestial identification of Athena [with the planet Venus] is glossed over so lightly [sic]." Velikovsky devotes whole sections of Worlds in Collision to the celestial identification of Athena (See Part 1, Chapter 9, and the index). Sagan's sarcastic remark: "But it is far from the prevailing wisdom either now or two ...

715. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... & Catastrophism Review (1994) "Proceedings of the 1993 Cambridge Conference" Home | Issue Contents The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed John J. Bimson Trinity College, Bristol Introduction "In the middle of the second millennium before the present era .. . the earth underwent one of the greatest catastrophes in its history. A celestial body that only shortly before had become a member of the solar system - a new comet - came very close to the earth. ". .. Mountains fell and others rose from level ground; the earth with its oceans and continents became heated; the sea boiled in many places and rock liquefied; volcanoes ignited and forests burned ...
716. Floods and Tides [Books] [de Grazia books]
... convey their force. During the flood of Manu (Saturnian flood, probably about 4000 B.C .) hurricanes and turbulence surrounded the boat of the Indian Noah. The skies are full of motion and the mover's body is itself moving. The atmospheric is raging with currents of wind and electricity. The Earth itself is moving. The celestial actors in the scene are imposing or withdrawing forces. Hence, exoterrestrially induced tides will not behave so simply as tides operate with the regular passage of the Moon or of a single earthquake. They will draw startling geometric figures. No one would have been more amazed than the Jews themselves, to have survived the double-walled water passage into ...
717. The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah [Journals] [Kronos]
... expression found in Latin literature, Jupiter Dianus,(7 ) or two faced, could be interpreted as denoting two motions of Jupiter, an eastward and a westward. This conforms with the same expression applied to the Sun where, as I endeavored to show, it denotes easterly and westerly movements of the luminary.(8 ) The celestial mechanics of the implied reversal of Jupiter's apparent motion remains unsolved. Jupiter apparently changed the place of its rising point without a similar and simultaneous change by the Sun and all the planets and stars. It might seem that in order for Jupiter alone to be subject to change a reversal of orbital motion is required, an unlikely proposition from ...
... are in the event sacrificed for the commonweal of the remainder. I have often believed that this philosophy lay behind the custom of the ancients to offer human sacrifices, in the belief that the deity, Saturn or Baal, or other such gods, required to be propitiated with human lives. The greatest epoch of such an encounter with a celestial body which we possess traces sufficient to lead to any deductions of value is known to geologists as the "Drift Age." We are aware of its geological nature to a considerable extent at least and of its geographical distribution. As it played an important part in the earth's history I shall describe it and attempt to explain lucidly a ...

... : how would an electrical explanation of the phenomenon account for the residual radiation? WAL THORNHILL REPLIES: There is absolutely no reason to attribute nuclear technology to ancient people. Velikovsky gave the answer to this question decades ago in the 1950's when he claimed in Earth in Upheaval, "Should an interplanetary discharge take place between the Earth and another celestial body, such as a planet... with possibly billions of volts of potential difference and nuclear fission or fusion, the effect would be similar to that of an explosion of many hydrogen bombs...". He claimed in advance that some craters on the Moon would exhibit enhanced radioactivity. That was later discovered to the ...
