... in search of a new, and perhaps safer, homeland. Could something similar have transpired in or around 2000 B.C . when Abram and his tribe, together with vast populations of the ancient Near East, uprooted itself in search of a new home and the comprehension of a new god? 7. The Astronomer The study of celestial bodies is one of man's oldest sciences. Had there been any irregular motions in the heavens during the time under consideration (ca. 2000 B.C .) , Abram should have been capable of detecting them as well as interpreting them. Although it is held by some that Abram and his brothers could not have attended any of ...
722. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the exodus of Mars formed a single land mass [continent], and it was only later...that [this single land mass broke up and separated so that] the continents reached their present positions. The Earth-origin of Mars and the Moon, then, not only provides a good reason for the abnormally low density of these celestial bodies, but also answers the vexing question of why the Earth's crust is not evenly distributed all over the Earth, with a uniform covering of sea- which is what one would expect in the case of a system which is rotating steadily. The density of the Moon, 3.4 , is readily explained if the Moon material is ...
723. Thoth Vol I, No. 18: July 3, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... on the fingers of one hand: heart-soul of a deceased god-king or great leader rising in the sky. long-haired star (star with flowing locks, mane, tresses, disheveled hair, beard, hairy tail); torch-star (ember, flame, smoke, smoking star, train of fire, spark, or train of sparks); celestial feather (winged star, soul-bird, bright feathers, feathered headdress, shining bird's tail); cosmic serpent, dragon, or similar monster. The remaining general hieroglyphs for the comet could be counted on the fingers of your second hand! They include: a sword, a bundle of grass or straw (whisk, broom), ...
724. Collective Amnesia and the Catastrophic Basis of Soap Opera (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... described, the system of mutually-interested bodies suspended in the calm placenta of the great current is nevertheless subject to much local disorder in the form of rape, murder, assault, mental cruelty, enforced separation, mutilation, drastic change, and various bizarre kinds of death, to name a few. Such frequent and widespread upheaval clashes with conventional celestial dynamics, which either pictures the universe as stable and very gradualist, or insists that large-scale disorder occurs far away in space or far back in time, neither situation posing any danger to Earth. The pattern corresponds strikingly to Velikovskian theory, however, in which catastrophism and uniformitarianism co-exist as alternating modes of physical existence. The same duality ...
725. Comparing Magnetic Fields: Neptune and Uranus [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... and Uranus' magnetic fields are so striking that it is extraordinarily improbable that their field strengths are comparable. Therefore, Neptune's magnetic field can not be a confirmation of nor a disproval of Electro-Gravitic theory. The evidence one way or the other is far too unsound or misleading. Over the past several years, I have been looking for a celestial body that would flatly and unequivocally contradict the theory. I felt that even one celestial body or set of bodies that acted completely contrary to what the theory required would doom the counterforce concept. For example, red dwarf stars have very weak magnetic fields and Electro-Gravitic theory requires that they must rotate slowly; so the discovery of just such ...
... Nobel laureate, Robert Shockley, engaged in "a little mathematical skirmish in which [Velikovsky] happened to be right, and [Shockley] generously and immediately admitted it." (10) Still seeking vindication, in December, 1952, Velikovsky traveled to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago for three days of discussions on electromagnetism and celestial mechanics with schoolmate Komarewski and the head of the Electricity and Magnetism Department. Then, in February, 1953, at Plungian's invitation, he presented his geological thesis at the Society for the Advancement of Science. Larrabee was preparing an article on the relationship between science and the humanities for Science. He told the journal's editor on March 23 ...
727. Thoth Vol II, No. 17: Oct 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... as Mars; the hero with sores all over his body (Batraz); the lame hero (Samson); the hero who suddenly assumes a gargantuan form (Batraz, Maui, Indra, Cuchulainn); the ugly hero who suddenly becomes transformed into a beautiful being (Batraz, Odysseus). Each of these widespread themes has clear celestial precedents, all involving the planet Mars and its escapades in relation to the other planets participating in the polar configuration. It stands to reason that the theme of the giants likewise traces to celestial events, subsequently localized and "euhemerized", so to speak. Ev Cochrane DAVE TALBOTT RESPONDS: It is my contention that the different " ...
728. Introduction to the Proceedings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... themselves to a pivotal argument in the continuing debate surrounding Velikovsky's cosmology - the long term stability of the solar system. Dr Roy exposes as a myth the received opinion amongst astronomer critics of Velikovsky that the stability of the solar system has been "proved for millions of years", drawing a distinction between "informed" and "uninformed" celestial mechanics. He feels the highest figure for which informed celestial mechanics can be certain that the planets have followed their present orbits is the last 10,000 years. Dr Bass points out that Newtonian celestial dynamics (orthodox celestial mechanics plus the effect of tidal friction) does not, as commonly supposed, preclude a Velikovskian scenario. This ...
729. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Origin of Megalithic Cultures [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as in the Biblical description took place at all is a question we need to defer at this point. Inevitably, much more speculation attaches to the origin of megalithic structures at the beginning of the first millennium than to the dating. The innumerable reports of catastrophes from the archives of humanity shall be our guides. We are reminded of frightening celestial events, rains of blood, poisonous clouds, hail and stone falls, floodlike rains, water contamination, but also dried-up rivers, and many other threats to life. A possibility of avoiding madness in the face of such threats is the process of healing play-acting, but also placatory and relief-giving anticipation, as described by Heinsohn [8 ...
