... Joshua. It was then that the mysterious pillar' became the tail of the protoplanet Venus. Velikovsky claimed: Because of the proximity of the Earth, the comet left its own orbit and for a while followed the orbit of the Earth. The great ball of the comet retreated, then again approached the Earth, shrouded in a dark column of gases which looked like a pillar of smoke during the day and a pillar of fire by night and the Earth once more passed through the atmosphere of the comet, this time at its neck. ' [2 ] It has been for some time this author's opinion that this mysterious pillar' is not a comet's tail but the ...
232. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , sociological and artistic dimensions of myth. The celestial provenance of the myths' contents accounts for the remarkable uniformity of human tradition and highlights its credibility. And unlike many previous theories of myth, the interdisciplinary connection with plasma science adds the invaluable benefit of testability: controlled laboratory experiments are capable of testing the theory by replicating the hypothetical auroral column and comparing its morphology and development to the mythical objects under consideration. This puts the stamp of science on the theory. Origin of the Term "Plasma"www.plasmacoalition.org/what.htm Many wonder how the term "plasma" became applied to an ionized gas. Irving Langmuir, a researcher working to understand electric ...
233. Chapter 10 Iron, Diorite, and the Sumerians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS 290 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 CHAPTER 10 IRON, DIORITE, AND THE SUMERIANS "Gudea built the Temple . . . With two hand-breadths of shining stone He cased the brickwork With diorite's hand-breadth of bright stone" Cylinder A Column XVI of Gudea, third millennium B.C . According to conventional chronology the Sumerians lived in Mesopotamia from about 2400 to 2024 B.C .1 They lived there about the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt. This, of course, is the period when copper was supposed to have been the main metal used for tools. Gold and silver were too precious for such everyday work. The ...
234. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to complain about the anti-Velikovsky attitude expressed by Mr. John Gribbin, a writer with New Scientist . We devoted part of the Focus section of our last issue (Velikovsky Affair? pp. 11-13) to his foamings. The issue is wider than this, as Jill Abery discovered when she wrote the following letter in reply to Gribbin's Forum column: - 18.5 .80 Dear Sir, I was amazed at the almost paranoic reaction of John Gribbin (Forum, 10 April, p.102) to my previous letter (Letters, 20 March, p.956), and a little disconcerted at the implication that you, as letters editor, should bow to ...

... at least." He then claimed that such evolved knowledge would have taken observation of so long a period of regular celestial motions that no catastrophe could have occurred, as the Velikovsky circle believed, in the seventh or eighth centuries. The present writer addressed an ironical reply to these ideas in a related journal. A comment on Irving Michelson's column "Scientifically Speaking..." With all due respect to Professor Michelson, I cannot understand the rationale behind Pensée's having allowed him (or anyone else for that matter) to pretend to be "Scientifically Speaking..." It is a usurpation of authority, and an implication that other contributors to Pensée have written unscientifically. ...
236. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . 10/5 /80, p. 102-3 It seems that when the Letters Editor of New Scientist slipped in Jill Abery's letter (see Workshop.vol .2 no.4 . p.6 ) he did so without prior consultation with John Gribbin. And Mr. Gribbin is not pleased, to judge by the 1 ½ columns of "refutation" he fills in the Forum section. He will admit that Velikovsky did precede the others - very generous of him - but explains : - "The difference is that, in scientific terms, the Velikovsky version has a bolt missing, whereas Enever, Barry Niven and Jerry Pournelle did their sums properly". We ...
237. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Newsletter 2 (Sep 1975) Home | Issue Contents Forum A SLOW START, perhaps, but then if we start small, we can only get bigger... This is your column: your letters are invited. Joseph and the Pyramids MY MAIN INTEREST in Velikovsky is as a student of Scripture and on this score I would like to put forward one or two thoughts concerning the record in Genesis which seem to me to affect both the revised chronology and the idea of catastrophes. A considerable part of Genesis is given to the recording of the story of Joseph. The basic facts are these: 1. Pharaoh had a dream which was interpreted for ...

... menhir found on the island, which has been erected at the most famous site of Filitosa. This last also bore a dagger, which was worn diagonally and was in proportion to the whole. It appeared to me that the sword' could never have been a representation of a human weapon but perfectly fitted the sword associated with the polar column surmounted by crescent of the polar configuration' theory. The faces would then be that of the fixed polar god and the north-south orientation of the alignments self explanatory. Most of these stones and alignments are in the south but I did see one simple carved menhir in the north and it was interesting to see what the post-Christian inhabitants had ...
239. Making Moonshine with Hard Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. I No. 3 (Fall 1975) Home | Issue Contents Making Moonshine with Hard Science Alfred De Grazia A comment on Irving Michelson's column "Scientifically Speaking . . ." With all due respect for Professor Michelson, I cannot understand the rationale behind Pensee's having allowed him (or anyone else for that matter) to pretend to be "Scientifically Speaking . . ." It is a usurpation of authority, and an implication that other contributors to Pensee have written unscientifically. "Science" is exhibited in a work itself or in a judgement rendered afterwards upon it; it is also a propagandistic term when employed in Professor Michelson's usage. The phrase ...
240. The Archangels, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of God.1 The Talmudic and Midrashic sources, which relate that the army of Sennacher ib was destroyed by a blast and scourge accompanied by a terrible din on the night following the day when the shadow of the sun returned ten degrees, are more specific: the scourge was inflicted by the Archangel Gabriel "in the guise of a column of fire." 2 In the present research it has been established that it was the work of Mars. Are archangels planets? "An old tradition, dating back to Gaonic times, had it that there are seven archangels, each of whom is associated with a planet."3 "The seven archangels were believed to play ...
