... but have major implications for the solar system. If the galaxy is not electrified, it would seem to me that prospects will ever remain poor for reconciling evidence of electrification within the solar system and celestial motions that seem to deny that evidence. Back toward the beginning of this paper I promised to return to the subjects of space-charge sheaths and comet tails. Actually, in terms of the postulated electrical discharge centered on the sun, these would appear to be not two subjects, but merely two aspects of a single subject. A comet on an extremely eccentric orbit spends by far the greater part of its time in the uttermost parts of the solar system. This is because, ...
442. First Century: Visions Of Apocalypse. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... their source. The end of the world was feared, and in the first century this anticipation of the end of the world grew immensely. Teachings about the last days, or the new world to come, were an expression of ideas engendered by experiences in the past. From the time of the Dead Sea scrolls and of the brilliant comet that appeared in daylight for months following the violent death of Caesar, through the days of Jesus of Nazareth and of the Emperor Nero, of the Sibylline oracular writings, the Book of Revelation and the fall of Jerusalem, terror gripped the human race. In the first century before the present era Lucretius, traditionally the prophet of doom ...
443. Thoth Vol II, No. 11: June 30, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... , an artists' rendition that precedes the mathematical development. See? If you think of the galaxy as an electrical circuit, the images fall into place: they're echoed on every scale, from lightning scars on Earth to arachnoid webs on Venus to the icy patchwork of Europa. The phenomena found in plasma labs provide a visual connection between comet tails, coronal mass ejections, machined craters, planetary nebulae, and galactic jets. In the behavior of the comet Shoemaker-Levi-9 you can see a mini-version of the polar configuration and its break-up. The math is in progress. If history can be used to predict the future, I expect that the math will confirm some aspects of this ...
444. Venus An Interim Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... amounts of data now available, a survey of the findings in various fields is attempted below. In each case, Velikovsky's "advance claim" is followed by orthodox scientists' expectations, the space probe evidence, scientists' reactions, and a summing up. R.M .L 1. Origin of Venus "We conjectured that the comet Venus originated in the planet Jupiter .. . " (W in C, p. 379) "Venus experienced in quick succession its birth and expulsion under violent conditions; an existence as a comet on an ellipse which approached the sun closely; two encounters with the earth accompanied by discharges of potentials between these two bodies and with ...
445. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appeared in many publications including Topper, The Ubyssey, Pensee, Kronos, The Sourcebook Project, UFO Report, Frontiers of Science, C&AH, CSIS Newsletter, Workshop and Aeon. 1. The Encircling Ocean Chris Boyles has stated that: "To suggest, for example, that serpents always represent a celestial body such as a comet is demonstrably false. Certainly a serpent may sometimes symbolize a comet; but it was also used to represent the ocean (e .g . the serpent of Midgard), both in the way in which the ocean was thought to encircle the land and as an explanation of the eternal rippling motion of the waves, so similar to ...
446. Indra [Journals] [Kronos]
... Agni was himself a Marut.(8 ) The Maruts were also said to have been the sons of Rudra(9 ) and, indeed, another name for them was simply Rudras.(10) Should we therefore assume that Agni and Rudra were also personifications of Mars? Velikovsky understood the Maruts to have been "a brood of comets" born of the encounters(s ) between Venus and Mars. According to him, these comets then accompanied Mars as it supposedly swooped close to Earth in a series of near-collisions during the 8th and 7th centuries B.C .( 11) The mythological origin of the Maruts, as indicated above, does not bear this out ...
447. Paradigm Lost? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... indeed be ludicrous. Thus Milton comes nowhere near proving his conclusion that The Earth is probably not billions of years old and may only be thousands'. He briefly considers some alternative methods which have been indicated a younger age for the Earth than methods based on radiometric dating. These include the fall of cosmic dust, the disintegration of short-period comets, the decay of the Earth's magnetic field, the production of radiogenic helium and the break-up of land-masses by continental drift. Interesting though these results may be, all involve unproven assumptions, which have received less searching scrutiny than those of radiometric procedures. Thus, while it remains possible that the Earth is not billions of years old, ...

... completely rule out both the fanciful speculations from NASA about a brown dwarf star possibly being out there, etc. and Vaughan's scenarios. The data upon which the inferred presence of a trans-Plutonian planet is based consist of the residuals, or deviations, in the motions of the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and of six comets that both go beyond Neptune and have been observed on more than one return.(2 ) Data from the Pioneer probes, while useful, are simply not essential for locating Planet X. The probable mass and distance of the undiscovered body are indicated by its gravity gradient, i.e ., how its presence differentially affects the ...
450. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and by analogy the right of David to rule a united Israel, replacing the storm god, Baal. [29] The divinity of kingship is projected backwards upon the figure of Joshua and the ark, and the cult of Yahweh is spread by an evangelizing Levite priesthood that David established in the most volatile areas of his expanding kingdom. Comets and Earthquakes Helmut Tributsch [30] in a study of earthquake precursory phenomena, has traced the odd behavior of animals, as in the biblical story of Balaam's ass which refused to budge because it sensed a tremor, can be attributed to a build-up of static electrical charge of aerosol particles in the air; these cause discomfort in animals ...
