... as an empirical datum by those whose task is to construct astronomical and cosmological theories, I shall quote the opinion of a recognized major authority on Babylonian and biblical astronomy, chronology, and mythology, Father Franz Xavier Kugler (1862-1929). Kugler had a strictly scientific bent of mind. He started his academic career as a university lecturer of chemistry, but, after the death of Joseph Epping (1835-94), a fellow member of the Jesuit order and the founder of the study of cuneiform astronomical texts, Kugler decided to take over and continue his work and to this end became an outstanding expert on ancient astronomy and cuneiform philology. Most of his life was dedicated to the ...
322. Religion and Education [Books] [de Grazia books]
... time into a few thousand years, is red flag to the bull. Here again, Sullivan has delicately hinted of the possible vulnerability of measures of time. Very little time may have been needed for evolution itself. Quantavolution could have been a prompt, highly creative business under certain catastrophic conditions, as, for instance, in great cyclonic chemical factories fashioned from a bombardment of heavy meteoroids. This would leave thousands of unchanging species hanging around "unnecessarily" for millions of years between quantavolutions. "In other words," writes geologist Derek Ager, "the history of any one part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom ...
323. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... fallen into a stupor (and, in failing to do so, exhibited a lack of understanding of his own story- just as Velikovsky could have made better sense had he relied instead on impacting meteorites) My own responses to his criticisms are quite simple: A Perseid shower of micrometeors could be composed of toxic (but not fatal) chemicals, released by burning in the atmosphere. One does not have to be a scientist in order to understand science. Doyle was quite cognizant of the scientific beliefs of his era, and ether was certainly believed to exist at that time. In any case, Doyle was actually referring to the breathable atmosphere surround-ing Earth. Doyle explicitly mentioned ...
324. USGS versus Fringe [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... somewhat catastrophist view of progress-by-jumps. He sees revolutions as brought about, however, through the internal contradictions generated by the scientific endeavour, and takes no account of the interaction between mainstream and fringe. He only discusses minor changes of "paradigm" - for instance the discovery of oxygen-, no macro-jumps such as the switch from alchemy to chemistry, whereas we legitimately may wonder whether there is anything in our understanding of the world which makes the discovery of oxygen probable and in the meantime renders alchemy ununderstandable. The history of the US Geological Survey provides some interesting examples of the fringe-mainstream interaction. Early in this century, the USGS was charged with the responsibility of giving advice on ...
325. Yet Another Chapter... [Journals] [Pensee]
... NASA Ames Research Center, the occasion being the fly-by of Pioneer 10 past Jupiter. The following exchange occurred during the news conference. (The ellipses in Sagan's remarks refer to comments he made about the slides being shown.) DR. CARL SAGAN, astronomer, Cornell University ". . . Jupiter is a kind of remnant of the chemistry which was around in the early history of the solar system. It preserves for us the circumstances which were about on the earth in the early history of our planet, and, in particular, the atmosphere of Jupiter is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and smaller quantities of methane, ammonia, and almost certainly water, although ...
326. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... CONTACT AN FHEILL-SHLINNEIN: Mrs Lynn Chong, 70 Highland St., Plymouth, NH 03264, U.S .A . wishes to correspond with any member with knowledge of the ancient Celtic "Shoulderblade" (translation or transliteration) for reactions to ideas on meanings for Co-thrad-thrath and Grian-stad. GEOLOGY: Martin T. Powers, a qualified chemist of 1704 Hettering Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19810, U.S .A . would like to correspond on Biblical, Geophysical, Historical, Linguistic and Mythological aspects of Velikovsky's work. GEORGIA: Alex A. Shuba, 2972 Crabapple Circle, Decatur, Ga. 30034, U.S .A . would like to make contact ...

... his home in Vancouver and is preparing several long-range major works on cosmic catastrophism and related subjects. He has also contributed to the SIS Workshop and CSIS Newsletter. C. Leroy Ellenberger (B .S ., Washington Univ.; M.B .A ., Univ. of Pennsylvania); Mr. Ellenberger has received degrees in chemical engineering and finance & operations research. His writings on a wide range of subjects have appeared m periodicals as diverse as Analog, New Scientist, Penthouse, Science Digest, Fate and Pursuit, with Velikovskian topics published in Physics Today, Industrial Research & Development and SIS Review & Workshop. His role as an advocate for Velikovsky's ideas led ...
328. "Nearer The Gods No Mortal May Approach". File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... and that he is in possession of the Ultimate Truth. Among scientists the astronomers have abrogated to themselves the topmost place, that of the high priests, and nobody challenges them. All agree that no natural science is as exact as astronomy. The astronomers, with few exceptions, jealously guard this privileged position and look down on geologists, chemists, and biologists as class B scientists. The object of their investigation is heaven itself. In this, too, they have superseded the high priests, who claimed for themselves the keys to heaven. In the astronomers' view there can be no greater effrontery than the questioning of their truths, and nothing enrages them more than to ...
329. Low-energy Bulk-process Alchemy [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... physics, a small group of inventors has achieved reliable, multiply-confirmed, replicable-upon-demand, low-energy, bulk-process, high-speed, dirt-cheap, modern alchemy. For example, in less than an hour, one-tenth gram of radioactive thorium has been transmuted into nine-hundredths gram of titanium plus one-hundredth gram of copper. Conventional-minded physical scientists have long-proclaimed low-energy bulk-process transmutation of one chemical element into another to be a flatly impossible "ancient and medieval dream" whose absurdity has been exposed by modern discoveries concerning the structure of the atom and its nucleus. Supposedly only multi-million-dollar high-energy particle accelerators, operating at energies in excess of tens of thousands of electron volts in expensive national laboratories, can perform nuclear alchemy, and that ...
330. Dating the Hammurabi Dynasty Using the Venus Tablets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... providing a better fit between recorded and computed data [10]. In 1940, Professor Sydney Smith of the British Museum published a brochure in which he argued for a revision of the dating of the Hammurabi dynasty. He gave the date -1645 for Ammisaduqa's first year [11]. In the same year, Monsieur David Sidersky, a chemical scientist, proposed an alternative date: -1701 [12]. Then in 1942, Dr F. Cornelius, a member of the Federation of German Historians, put forward the date -1581 based on historical grounds [13]. A comparison between those three solutions was carried out by Professor van der Waerden of Leipzig. He used Neugebauer's ...
