... but in Nostradamus 2000, who will survive?, (Llewellyn Publications, St Paul MN 55164 USA, 1966), Stefan Paulus also predicted disaster in 1999. According to Nostradamus, In the year 1999, the seventh month, from the sky will come a great King of Terror'. Paulus identifies the King of Terror as a comet. Another quatrain states , When the eclipse of the sun will then be, in broad daylight the monster will be seen'. Since Nostradamus was French, Paulus says the eclipse has to be seen from France. A solar eclipse due on August 11th 1999 meets this requirement. The monster' is the comet visible at the time ...
422. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the planet Venus is described as a beautiful star with rays of light, yet at the same time awful, ugly and black and in N. America it is known as the dark star'. By now Cochrane has reached a consideration of Velikovsky's claim that Venus once had a comet-like appearance and evidence is abundant that the ancient terminology for comets was also used for Venus both in the Old and New World. Both comets and Venus were commonly regarded as harbingers of disaster, though there is no present reason to associate either of them with such events. Myth around the world all points to the likelihood that once Venus, with a tail like a comet, darkened the sun ...
423. Laplace's Dichotomy. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Laplace's Dichotomy In his Traite de mecanique celeste (1779-1825) Pierre Simon de Laplace proved that the solar system, governed by gravitation, is orderly and that the planets move on eternally peaceful orbits. In his Exposition du systeme du monde (1796), discussing the possibility of a collision of the Earth with a comet, he began by belittling the chance and the result, but as he continued he became noticeably inspired, and soon admitted the possibility of a horrendous effect. Next he claimed that many problems of geology and of ancient climate must have had their explanations in exactly such an event. Thus Laplace displayed a dichotomy: he denied the possibility ...
424. Evidence that the Earth has Suffered Catastrophes of Cosmic Origin in Historical Times: the Conclusions of the 2nd SIS Conference [Journals] [SIS Review]
... its effects. But, as Bimson argues, there is no necessity to postulate a second, Conquest, catastrophe event. 3. There is no agreement on what class of event brought about the end of Early Bronze Age. On the one hand there is the astronomically acceptable thesis of Clube & Napier - the disintegration of a rather large comet, with periodic interaction between Earth and the comet/asteroid stream resulting in catastrophe events. However, as I indicate, this sits uncomfortably with ancient testimony that the agent of destruction was the Venus goddess, who was astral and yet terrestrial, and who represented both a planet and a comet. On the other hand, there is ...

... was initially the outermost planet to form in the Nebula" (10). Ransom further cited the work of Vsekhsviatskii at Kiev (11) who has "qualitatively and quantitatively discussed the origin of the smaller planets from the larger planets and their satellites" (12). He has also supported his views with data from meticulous observations of comets. Recently Mamedov analysed the orbits of hypothetical comets originating from Jupiter and also he used computer calculations to modify and support Vsekhsviatskii's theory of comet origin on or near the surface of Jupiter (13). Vsekhsviatskii's conclusions about Saturn are interesting. Its exceptionally low mean density (0 .71 gm/cc), the unusually high effective ...

... helium came from in the first place. What price Velikovsky's original suggestion of fusion effects from electric discharges, made almost 40 years ago (See, for example, "Sodom and Gomorrah" by Immanuel Velikovsky, Kronos 6:4 , p. 53.) Workshop readers will also recall Sergei Vsekhesviatskii's pioneering work on the eruptive origin of comets from the gas giants (discussed in "Father of the Gods" by Martin Sieff, Workshop 3:2 , pp. 8-15). Are such scenarios, and Ralph Juergens' "electric stars" (see "Limited Fusion and Anode Stars", this issue and "Electric Stars in a Gravity-free Universe" by Earl Milton ...

... summer. yet everywhere around them, at the end of that hungry season, many of the useless tassels of common teosinte were spontaneously sprouting visible and edible grains. Who but an unreconstructed pre-Columbian atheist would then not have been tempted to call them God's grain', the literal translation of the Nahuat Teo-cintle'! " Asteroid Phaethon an Extinct Comet? source: New Scientist 10.12.88, pp. 34-38 Each year the Earth passes through several meteor streams whose orbits appear to coincide with those of comets. From this it is deduced that the streams are debris from the comets' tails. The best display of meteor stream shooting stars' is in December when Earth ...
