... traits of a scientist. Some of these attributes are missing in the exhibition titled "Science and Anti-Science." Immanuel Velikovsky II Straka teaches a course on "Velikovsky, Whiston, and Horberger." He does not know the title of Whiston's book on catastrophes. He says that Whiston ascribed the parting of the Sea of Passage to a comet and that, after considering gravitational forces to account for the parting, Whiston has recourse to electrical and magnetic forces. The title of Whiston's famed book is A New Theory of the Earth; it was first published in 1696 and saw six editions. Velikovsky repeatedly referred to it in Worlds in Collision (pp. 39-42 and elsewhere) ...

... before (Workshop 1987:1 , p.23) with his theory that Earth's oceans have been filled with water of cometary origin. It is perhaps too soon to claim confirmation of this theory, or so all the physicists are warning, but Clayne Yeates of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has detected the arrival of millions of small, water-bearing comets, striking Earth's atmosphere every year. In contrast, the New Scientist report is of some armchair physics. Christopher Chyba of Cornell University has calculated that some 40% of the water in Earth's oceans could have come from comets: earlier calculations had arrived at a figure of only 4%. There is nothing catastrophist about this report: ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations III - Volcanoes and their Craters CRATERS are tell-tale objects in a volcanic mountain, but geologists never see beyond the ends of their noses. Every volcano, large or small, starts with a crater, or, let us say, a crateral cup on its summit. This, the original crater, is invariably far greater in circumference than succeeding craters which sometimes are superimposed on a portion of the original crater and sometimes open up on a lower flank of the mountain. Again, it is no uncommon matter to find volcanoes of size and in fairly continuous states of eruption ...
344. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... there were transitions between lunar and solar year calendric systems, Moses's lifetime would surely have been the period of greatest confusion. It is by no means certain what corrections (if any) should be applied to ages given in the Torah: moreover similar (but not necessarily identical) corrections may need to be applied to the data from which comet periods were deduced. Moses is recorded as having been 80 years old at the time of the Exodus. If Velikovsky's comet had approached Earth 52 years earlier, Moses would have been about 28 years old, probably in the early years of his exile. If he then recognised the flyby as the same type of visitation described by his ...
345. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... earth. His legs bestrid the ocean: his reared arm Crested the world: his voice was propertied As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends; But when he meant to quail and shake the orb, He was as rattling thunder. 5.2 .82 - 86. We recall what Dr. Velikovsky wrote about the comet seeming to span the Earth, and appearing as a giant sword in the sky, and that its approach was accompanied by such extreme thunder that it made the whole globe shake. With Antony gone, with Mars defeated, Octavius the Sun is the only ruler of the skies, or, as Cleopatra calls him, Sole sir o ...
346. Doubt Cast on Frank's Small-comet Theory [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... & A.S . McEwen. Geophysical Research Letters, 1997, Vol.24, No.24, pp.3105-3108. *University of Arizona, Lunar & Planetary Lab, Tucson, AZ 85721. Frank et al. [1986b] and Frank and Sigwarth [1993] hypothesized the intense bombardment of the terrestrial atmosphere by small comets. Their model requires that the Moon is impacted by small comets (10(7 ) -10(8 ) g) at a rate of almost one per minute. We calculate that an object of this mass, even with an exceedingly low density and relatively low velocity, will nevertheless produce a crater at least 50m in diameter ...

348. The Catastrophic Substructure of the Samson & Delilah Myth [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... myth of course, while we might find the idea of the ass's jawbone linked up with the origin of the dog star' or Pegasus of Greek mythology. However, the secret of Samson's strength lies in his hair. The significance of hair as a catastrophic motif is dealt with at length in Worlds in Collision'. The very name comet, being derived from comes' for hairy one or bearded one, is well known. Thunder gods were always bearded and fully haired as any Father in the sky' should be. In his book, Gods and Myths of Northern Europe', H. R. Ellis Davidson (6 ) quotes: Raud said (to Thor ...

A series of three one-hour lectures are being given at City University, London, as part of the Gresham Lectures. The lectures, titled "Comets and Catastrophes", are being delivered by Dr. D. Dewhirst, a senior astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge. The first, presented on the Thursday, 1st March, concentrated on comets, the second is to deal with meteorites, and the third will be on the origins of the Solar System. You will ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate VI - Climate And Dying Races IF the earth's climate deteriorates in the manner I have traced, its effect on the races of mankind will also have its repercussions. Apart from some great catastrophe which may destroy them in one fell swoop, gradually, over the ages, former sites of immense human activity have been claimed by the growing frigidity, the damp, the infertility of the land, by disease due to unpropitious surroundings, until the population for the most part dies out or emigrates. Allan, quoted by Hone, and writing at about the middle of the eighteenth ...
