... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Mars Moves The Earth From Its Pivot Venus was a comet, and in historical times it became a planet. Was Mars a comet in the eighth century before this era? There is evidence that long before the eighth century Mars was a planet in the solar system. A four-planet system was known to Chaldean astronomy, in which Venus was absent but Mars was present. There does not exist, at least in the extant material, any mention of the first appearance of Mars, whereas expressions referring to the birth of the planet Venus have been found in literary sources of the peoples ...

... :p . 611. Could this be a scribal literary allusion to the event which Strabo says gave the river its name? 4 Herodotus 3.91. Woolley equates it with the archeological site Al Mina. See, L. Woolley, A Forgotten Kingdom (Baltimore; Penguin Books, 1953), p. 172. Planets, Comets and Myths Velikovsky appears to have been confused by the number of myths that attributed catastrophes to Jupiter. He seems to have assumes that all mentions of Jupiter mean the planet of that name - but a name is only a name. The planets have worn several names over the centuries, even with the Greeks: Mars was also called ...
563. Thoth Vol III, No. 1: Jan 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... by Wal Thornhill ELECTRIC UNIVERSE PREDICTION CONFIRMED . . . . . by Wal Thornhill- STATE OF THE UNIVERSE: 1999 by Mel Acheson Uniformism is dead. It exhausted itself fighting Velikovsky. The Gould-Eldredge saltationism punctured holes in it. The Alvarez asteroid blew it away. In its vacant territory roam a multitude of catastrophist ideas: Clube and Napier's comet, to mention only one, which, significantly, accepts myths as evidence. And the worms of revisionist theories are digesting the corpse: for example, Prigogine's demonstration of the uncertainty at the heart of dynamics. On the larger, public stage, the image of authority long associated with uniformist theories has faded. Kuhn discovered that science ...
564. Water [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and mostly accorded under 80 million years of existence. That is only one-fiftieth of the conventional age of the world oceans. Have there been fifty world-girdling oceans? If the ocean basins were filled late in time, deluges from the skies have to be assumed. There is no other source, nor any more apt source, than the waterlogged comets and great planets. One is compelled to seek water there, and bring it here. Hence the need to invoke explosions of water from Saturn et al., and passing cometary encounters. Once the theory of a deluge(s ) is given, the search for the source of the water is by no means ended. The ...
565. The Signature of Catastrophe (Reinterpreting the Geological Record) [Journals] [Aeon]
... in a brief flight of fancy. Thinking the Unthinkable Soon after the publication of his Worlds in Collision in 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky was accused of "creating new forces in nature to suit his needs." That same year, J.H . Oort suggested (speculated) that there is a diffuse cloud of gas, dust, and comets that is gravitationally part of our solar system some 40,000 times as far from the sun as the earth. He went on to suggest how many comets it contains, how it originated, and how it releases the comets that we observe passing through our part of the solar system. This is the most popular idea today on ...

... a tiny speck." Tell me that this insight is not identical to that reached by Lemaitre? End of quote. Dwardu.- SHOEMAKER-LEVI SPECULATIONS By Wal Thornhill Jim Bowles wrote: Shumacher-Levy, of course, blew up. CARDONA BUTTS IN: Shoemaker-Levy did not blow up. It broke apart. Dwardu. WAL THORNHILL ADDS: The comet may never have been a single object. Tom Van Flandern has proposed that asteroids and comets may be comprised of several closely orbiting pieces that are separated when the more powerful gravitational influence of a planet or the Sun overwhelms the weak gravitational binding force between them. Tom was partly vindicated by the unexpected and serendipitous discovery that asteroid Ida has ...

... extrapolated in a preliminary attempt to account for certain factors inherent in the Saturnian scenario. PAGE 41 The Eye Goddess- by Ev Cochrane A terse study of the Egyptian Hathor and other "eye" goddesses, identified as personifications of the planet Venus, and how this general motif is applicable to the Saturn theory. PAGE 51 Typhon and the Comet of the Exodus: Rockenbach's Lost Source- by Dwardu Cardona An exposition on the comet called Typhon, its non-relation to the Greek demigod of the same name, and how this affects Immanuel Velikovsky's theory concerning the cosmic events he attributed to the time of the Exodus.

... or all natural energy operations as originating in electricity. Gravitation has lost prestige as an all-explainer in physics and astronomy, and might conceivably be dispensed with in quantavolution theory. Quantavolutions are catastrophes, but they are constructive as well as destructive. For example, if you prefer mammals to dinosaurs as your pets, then possibly you would regard the comets or meteoroids that struck the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous and put an end to the dinosaurs as a stroke of good luck, a quantavolution that was on the whole favorable from a mammalian and human point of view. When a quantavolution occurs, the phenomena of air, water, earth, and existence change sharply. Logically ...
570. The Rise of Blood Sacrifice [Journals] [Aeon]
... William Napier (Royal Observatory, Edinburgh), published The Cosmic Serpent: A Catastrophist View of Earth History. Without subscribing to Velikovsky's cosmology, Clube and Napier offered- as they later termed it- "a scientific rationale, a relatively secure astronomical framework" for "the ancient tales of celestial catastrophe." (78) "Short-lived comets have characteristic lifetimes of between a few hundred and a few thousand years. Not only do they break up, they also get driven away by planetary encounters. There are at present approximately one hundred times too many short-period comets relative to the rate at which long-period comets are captured by Jupiter and fed into the observed stock of Apollo asteroids ...
