... on two counts: his equations are still being used to account for our present view of the solar system (see also Monitor, 10 April, p. 83 - How Mars captured its moons) and parts of his work, frequently overlooked, do suggest that the present stability of the solar system could be altered by approaching meteors or comets. I doubt the mention of his name would have evoked the same frenetic response as that of Velikovsky! However, I wonder if Dr. Gribbin does not place too much value on purely theoretical calculations, whether Enever's or Sagan's, some of which he admits are tongue in cheek. It is not good scientific method to base belief ...
452. The Continuing Ica Mystery [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , a reluctance on the part of the authorities to become involved in such a highly controversial issue. For the engravings on the stones, if they are genuinely ancient, would reveal evidence about our ancestors which totally contradicts all received wisdom on the history of man and the progress of biological evolution. One of the many Ica stones with a comet scene exhibiting an almost obsessional interest in astronomy. The person appears to be using a telescope. (Photograph by Peter Afford) Pictures on some of the stones, usually those best and most intricately carved, contain apparently fantastic information: curiously depicted men are shown using what appear to be scientific instruments, such as telescopes; other scenes ...
453. On The Lecture Circuit [Journals] [Pensee]
... the Center's on-going lecture series, formed to stimulate communication between research staff and research community. Velikovsky's afternoon briefing and evening lecture drew larger-than-capacity crowds: the lecture was videotaped and shown two days later to those unable to get in. Focusing largely on a number of his "advance claims" which have yet to receive testing, Velikovsky remarked of Comet Kohoutek that the crucial issue is not the body's composition, but rather "what forces carry the comet around the sun" --electromagnetic forces playing a role, in his view. Velikovsky, when briefed on the Viking probes due to make a soft landing on Mars in 1976, urged that the probes should look for strong magnetic remanence; ...
454. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream [Journals] [Kronos]
... progeny of evils comes From our debate, from our dissension; We are their parents and original. (2 .1 . 115-117.) Discord in the heavens has caused universal disorder on Earth.(4 ) This is very similar to the events Velikovsky describes in Worlds in Collision , when the disorder of the heavens caused first by Comet Venus and later by a disturbed Mars seriously disrupted the natural order on Earth. Here are a few extracts from Pensee's summary of the Velikovskian events, for comparison with Titania's speech. In great convulsions, the seas erupted onto continents. Climates changed suddenly, ice settling over lush vegetation, while green meadows and forests were transformed into deserts ...
455. Venus Moves Irregularly, Part 1 Venus Ch.10 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... then the tablets are usually ascribed to the first Babylonian dynasty; however, a scholar has offered evidence to the effect that the year-formula of Ammizaduga was inserted by a scribe in the seventh century.(16) (If the tablets originated in the beginning of the second millennium, they would prove only that Venus was even then an errant comet.) Following are a few excerpts from the Venus tablets: "On the 11th of Sivan, Venus disappeared in the west, remaining absent in the sky for 9 months and 4 days, and on the 15th of Adar she was seen in the east." The next year, "on the 10th of Arahsamna, Venus ...

... names of god found in the Book of Job).(20) That Job lived during the time of the Patriarchs does not necessarily mean that the book which bears his name was written then. Through the Jewish Encyclopedia, Sieff ascertained that Khima, Khesil, and Aish were to be understood as names of planets, meteors, or comets rather than those of stellar constellations.(21) Sieff also referred to the ancient Near Eastern tradition which supplied the same name for a constellation as well as for a related star or planet. Thus, for instance, the constellation of the Medusa and the planet Venus both received the Babylonian name of Ninsianna(22) "If ...
457. From Myth to a Physical Model [Journals] [Aeon]
... the past- say, the planet Venus' former cometary identity (first discerned by Velikovsky). You begin to wonder if Venus' recurring identity as soul-star, hair star, bearded star, serpent-dragon, torch of heaven, feathered serpent, bearded serpent, hairy serpent, fiery serpent, etc.- all acknowledged pre-astronomical glyphs of the comet- might actually be explained by the most straightforward interpretation possible, even though that interpretation obviously conflicts with modern theory. Are these mythical images themselves worth pursuing to a higher level of detail, to see how well the suggested pattern holds up under closer scrutiny and to see what complementary patterns might emerge? If you choose to disregard the ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Four: The Deterioration Of Climate III - The Drowning Of Britain (continued)LONDON during the last few years has awakened more than once to find the tides on the Thames menacing the safety of the city. On and off now and again the newspapers reported phenomenal tides, and a few lives were lost at Fulham when the water flooded a considerable area. A little later the tides returned again to the attack and along Grosvenor Road, Westminster, and Millbank breaches were made. Not once, but several times the spring tides crept up almost to the level of the parapet, a level which when ...
459. Phoebus Apollo - Aspect of Venus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... manifestation of Venus. He was "twice born": on his first appearance he was torn apart and had to be reconstituted from "Jupiter's thigh". This could well be a description of the ejection of the proto-planet with some of the ejected material falling back into the parent body, followed by its final appearance as one whole "comet". The fact that Dionysos became the God of the Vine need not contradict his identification with Venus. It could be due to the reddening of the waters as in the Plague of Egypt, particularly if the manna or some of the gases accompanying the comet's visitation had an intoxicating effect. The connection with wine was probably reinforced by ...
... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part Three: Volcanic Powers And Limitations V - Volcanic Islands and their Origin EARTHQUAKES occur more frequently north of the Equator than south of it, and possibly owing to the inclination of the earth's axis, from the vernal to the Autumn Equinox more seismic movements occur in the Northern Hemisphere during summer months than in the winter period, and, correspondingly, as records go, more of such movements occur in the Southern Hemisphere in their summer period. This is not invariably the case, as, for instance, the Lisbon Earthquake of November 1, 1755, but it is frequently so. Leaving aside the intensely ...
