... , p. 12 Computer models of supernovas, taking into account nuclear physics, general relativity and hydrodynamics, appear to be rather reluctant to actually explode'. Could there be some secret ingredient missing from the programs - such as electricity? Surprised astronomers view cometary tail source: New Scientist 11.8 .88, p. 25 Halley's comet is now too far from the Sun for its frozen water and carbon dioxide to be evaporated off by the Sun's heat, yet a long exposure picture has revealed it still has a large halo of dust and a faint tail. (We also recommend the detailed article on Halley's Comet in Scientific American September 1988, pp. 62-69) ...

... year movement of the Solar System through the galactic plane. However, the former favour catastrophic events initiated by passage through the centre of the plane, whereas the latter elect for the furthest points of the cycle being the operative period. The large gas and dust clouds concentrated in the plane could variously: - 1. gravitationally disturb Solar System comets, leading to direct impacts, or 2. shut off the Solar Wind, or pollute Earth's atmosphere with hydrogen, leading to climate changes, or 3. raise the Sun's luminosity by accretion of material, leading to insolation changes .. .alternatively, 4. a decrease in cosmic ray flux away from the centre of the plane ...

484. Misled By Laplace. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... ? Only very recently I came across a passage of his, first in a book by Kenneth Heuer; then I looked it up in the original source, in the sixteen-volume edition of Laplace by L'Académie Française.(1 ) In his Exposition du système du monde, Laplace discussed the effects of a meeting of the Earth with a large comet. He said that for his own generation the chances of such an encounter must be very small, but "the small probability of such an encounter must accumulate during many centuries and will become very great [tres grande]. It is easy to visualize the effect of such a shock on the Earth." From here I follow ...
485. "A Silly Season". File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... the purpose of describing and evaluating objectively the work of an author. Indignant the reviewer may become, but to falsify in order to make his indignation appear righteous is not allowed by any code of journalistic ethics. A certain Martin Gardner, writing in the Antioch Review about "the hermit scientist" and the "preposterous theory" of a comet that became Venus, said this about the content of Worlds in Collision: "The first visit to the earth of this erratic comet was 1500 B.C ., precisely at the time Moses stretched out his hand and caused the Red Sea to divide." This would be an unbelievable coincidence. "Fifty-two years later the comet's ...

... to the ritualistic details described above, and it comes from the New World. "The ceremony of sacrifice to the Morning Star is the main ritual of the Pawnee Indians. It is a dramatization of the acts performed by the Morning Star. ' A human offering was sacrificed when Venus appeared especially bright or in years when there was a comet in the sky. ' . . . A captive girl was . . . kept by [a ] guardian until the day of the sacrifice. Her guardian then painted her whole body red and dressed her in a black skirt and robe. His face and hair were painted red, and a fan-shaped headdress of twelve eagle feathers was ...

... when the Voyager spacecraft flew by Saturn in 1980 and 1981' said Phil Nicholson of Cornell University. The August pictures seem to show at least three new objects, and in different orbits from the two May objects. One possibility is that they are large clouds of debris from small satellites shattered by impacts with chunks of space debris (possibly comets), sometime during the 14 years since the Voyager 2 flyby. Just as a small handful of chalk dust can make a large dust cloud if tossed in the air, a shattered moonlet would be much brighter and more visible than when all of its mass is compressed into a single solid body. A third object seen in the ...

... T in the codices could be a sign for a ball court, or a symbol for heaven. The first archaeological evidence for ball players is c. 1200 BC and for ball courts 900 BC. Quetzalcoatl was hit by an arrow, then burnt to death, then, when regenerated, was identified with the planet Venus, or a comet. In one case the diving god has been identified as a falling meteor. The Aztec description of comets is quite clearly similar to the cosmic serpent. Flood catastrophe in Mexican tradition is related in the codex Vaticanus. The flood comes from the sky. Two people are saved. In 1910 there was a re-enactment of Halley's comet at ...
489. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... process of discovery. The indeterminacy model fits the inefficiencies in maintenance and replenishment of the corpus scientiae. Much more is discovered and forgotten than is known. Much that is known is unused or known in a partial form. In Velikovsky's works are found numerous discoveries of the past that became essential parts of his theory. The theory that a comet created destruction of Earth was itself once propounded in various forms by distinguished scientists, as Dr. Velikovsky and Professor Stecchini have shown. Whenever a new scientific discovery or invention is made, its predecessors can be unearthed. Sometimes the ideas may be shown to be in a causal sequence. At other times they are apparently aborted and unrelated ...

... a number of these myths in Worlds in Collision. Braghine, Alexander. The Shadow of Atlantis. Dutton, New York, 1940. Braghine collates geological, astronomical, historical, and mythological evidence to support the idea of at least one and possibly two global catastrophes having been witnessed by humans during the Holocene. He suggested that a giant comet entering the inner solar system around 4,000 B.C . altered the orbits of the earth and Venus, at least, and also caused a variety of cataclysmic events on the earth itself. Braghine was aware of the dating problems associated with catastrophes, so he was willing to credit the ideas of Bellamy and others who suggested ...
