... the magnetic shield of the earth in the 15th century BC . It may be suggested that designing a balancing machine for motor car wheels will prove to provide a more practical and realistic approach to learn about the behaviour of spinning bodies than mere mathematical games will do; and that New Scientist might be well advised to introduced the Weekly pro-Velikovsky Proof column instead of the yearly anti-Velikovsky flop. Many thanks in advance for your standard acknowledgement of having received my communication: but please also publish it. - Christoph Marx (Victor Slabinski's criticism of Warlow's inversion of the Earth on its axis is scheduled for reprint in Review Volume V.)

522. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... but not everybody thought so. In the fall of 1966, Velikovsky gave an address at the Wilson School of Princeton University. The address was given under the aegis of the Princeton chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Velikovsky's lecture was later reported on by Walter Sullivan, the science editor of the New York Times in his column of October 2, 1966. There he wrote: " 'Velikovsky is right! ' his supporters are saying with renewed conviction. They argue that recent discoveries in space have demonstrated, at the least, that his cataclysmic concept of the world's history must be taken seriously. Among these discoveries, foreshadowed, they say, by the ...

... There is a face' apparently carved in a rock about a mile wide, and with perfect symmetrical features: also several pyramids arranged symmetrically in what could have been a city. The space scientists are divided into two camps, some saying the objects are artificial and others saying they are freak creations of nature. Adrian Berry writes an amusing column on the 26th, to the effect that "who is out there crying Wolf, wolf..." '. Naturally, he is a disbeliever. Among the many previous false alarms he cites the example of the Dogon knowledge of the companion to Sirius. Berry believes that the Dogon "were well educated and could have got ...

525. Thoth Vol III, No. 15: Nov 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... far from anything anticipated under conventional assumptions that they can be regarded as ACID tests. And the most compelling acid tests will be those so specific and unusual that no false theory could consistently pass them. When it comes to word associations, one could spend a lifetime applying various tests to the model. We've discussed the imagery of the polar column and the word associations predicted by that feature of the Saturn model. But there are many others. And why not look for the most extraordinary tests first, those in which the model would predict associations so unique one would not even dream of them in the absence of the hypothesized events? (Again, the force of the logic ...
526. Late Pleistocene Extinctions: No Evidence for Plato's Atlantis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... and the land surrounding it on every side may be most truly called a boundless continent. Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had ruled over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia (Italy). This vast power, gathered into one, endeavoured to subdue at a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region within the straits; and then, Solon, your country shone forth in the excellence of her virtue and strength ...
527. Erratic Events in the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as cup and ring' patterns, found in locations worldwide, appear to depict this cosmic spectacle [10]. It is difficult to think of any other satisfactory explanation. Another characteristic of a charged body is its power to induce high voltages when passing near other bodies. The many descriptions of glowing lights from the tops of pyramids, column, mountains, and other high places [11] give support to the probability of the Cosbod event. The importance of mythology in connection with past astronomical events indicates that this subject should be examined in relation to a cosmic body first appearing as a luminous arc, then a mass of twisted and filamentary forms, reaching oppositions of increasing ...
... , and felt sharply in Singapore. At Padang the Governor's residence and many European houses were badly damaged; at Solok buildings collapsed and many lives were lost, buried under the debris of the town, which caught on fire. Altogether over 200 lives were lost in this earthquake, and simultaneously with it the Palang volcano was seen with a column of fire above it. It should be noted that Singapore is situated about 250 miles north-east of this area in Sumatra. (c ) Tuesday, 291h. Several Californian coast cities were shaken, mainly in Sta. Barbara, Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa. Monica. It was the anniversary of the Santa Barbara Earthquake and ...
529. Darwin's Dangerous Idea: A Critique [Journals] [Aeon]
... account. (Illustration by Charles Hogarth.) In 1941, Argentine essayist Jorge Luis Borges wrote his now classic short tale, "La Biblioteca de Babel" (The Library of Babel) in which he envisioned a massive library containing all the sizeable number of actual books ever written and all the near-infinite unwritten potential permutations, lining rows and columns of shelves extending three-dimensionally far beyond one's ken. Dennett has taken a page from Borges and envisioned and extrapolated this idea on a concordant Library of Mendel, in which all possible permutations, or descriptions, of DNA genomes are similarly recorded. In this he has also expropriated a note from zoologist Richard Dawkins' own series of DNA sequences ...

... configuration that ties in with the Saturnian polar configuration of Talbott, Cardona et al. could possibly work. Jeuneman is doubtful about the validity of the identifications of gods with planets and prefers to think of such identifications as the result of later conventions. However, he admits that the mythology needs explanation and presents a compelling picture of the Polar Column as a Rankine vortex - sheer poetry in motion! A further contribution by Ginenthal in the fourth issue titled Mars in Upheaval' is a must as regards evidence of this planet's recent catastrophic encounters - his comprehensive array of evidence mustered in support of Dr. Velikovsky's contention of the role of Mars in recent history is very compelling.
