... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:1 (June 1998) Home | Issue Contents More Doubts About Small-comet Hypothesis 27 January 1998 Small comets: Naked-eye visibility. B. Rizk & A.J . Dessler. Geophysical Research Letters, 1997, Vol.24, No.24, pp.3121-3124. University of Arizona, Lunar & Planetary Lab, Tucson, AZ 85721. We investigate an obvious consequence of the small-comet hypothesis. We find that the 30-ton cloud of water-ice particles formed by a small comet would survive long enough to be an unmistakably bright object. The visual magnitude of such clouds would be between that of a bright star and the full Moon. The ...
572. A LOOK AT THE FUTURE [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... day; it is inevitable but unpredictables like an indefinitely postponed death sentence, or a time bomb ticking in the dark. "The Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night." (1 Thess 5:2 ) For a short happy period, from the moment the Earth had safely passed through the tail of Halley's comet in 1910 until the full possibilities of nuclear weapons had been realised, we thought that such a thing as Doomsday did not exist. Today, we are aware of several threats to mankind. Some of these are manmade others are of cosmic nature and have been there all the time. In Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky mentioned the fact ...
573. Venus and the Jubilee [Journals] [Aeon]
... I first read Worlds in Collision, and I am still far from convinced that the Maya ceremony should be viewed as such. (3 ) There is another, even more obvious, difference between the two cycles: the one is of fifty years duration and the other fifty-two. Dr. Velikovsky explained the difference in the following way: Comets do not return at exact periods because of perturbations caused by larger planets. The Mayas expected the return of a catastrophe every fifty-second year because that was the interval between the two cataclysms that had taken place. It may be that the comet was actually seen again at such intervals. The Jews fasted and prepared themselves for the Day of ...
574. On Models and Scenarios [Journals] [Aeon]
... primeval land of the gods- a crescent-enclosure housing the ancient sun god and the denizens of his celestial city. And the deluge was- as a myth- the story of the overwhelming of that celestial land in a "world-destroying" cataclysm. Alongside these elementary principles of the theory must be included: The presence of Venus as a spiraling comet- the old sun god's beard or sidelock; the position of the warrior-hero Mars at the apex of the polar column; the original position of the planet Jupiter behind Saturn. These essential ideas, to which numerous details must be added, constitute the foundation of an original and now-comprehensive theory of myth. It should be obvious, however ...

... have come too close to the repressed material. Any event which duplicates the originally traumatic event can be expected to produce deeply irrational responses including stark terror. Typically, the person to whom this thing is happening would not know why he is reacting with terror to a situation which may very well be completely harmless. The recent visit of the comet Kohoutek might have been expected to produce such responses in terms of the Velikovsky hypothesis. Shortly after it was announced, I wrote to Dr. Velikovsky to point out that it would be very worthwhile to collect and study the variety of responses to this event as they developed over the course of weeks. it would happen in some people ...
577. The Critics and Stellar Energy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... sufficient not only for the proton-proton reaction, but also for processes producing medium-weight elements like those present in the crust of the Earth. This would open an interesting possibility for an explanation of the interplanetary dust, which is a great headache to theorists: this dust seems to be swept away rather efficiently by the solar wind - just look at comet tails! - and yet exists in enormous quantities in interplanetary space. Where does it come from? The theory in fashion seems to be that the dust is produced by comets that are disintegrated when passing close to the Sun, but it is agreed that "neither the asteroids nor the periodic and new comets supply enough dust to replenish ...

... once much faster? What I am talking about is, of course, a much more intense flow of neutrinos. Of course, invalidating radiometric chronometry is much more urgent for Creationists than for catastrophists. Ragnar Forshufvud, Karlskoga, Sweden Who or What was Typhon?Dear Sir, Velikovsky was inclined to assume that Typhon was identical with the Comet Venus at the time of the Exodus (Worlds in Collision, "The Comet Typhon", 4th paragraph et passim). But is this the only possibility? A major difficulty with any such identification is that the planet Venus would have looked vastly different at that time, and thus may have been regarded as different from the planet ...

... environments." Wal comments: It is true that the technology used in the Galileo spacecraft seems to have exceeded expectations concerning its hardiness in a high radiation environment. But to ignore the alternative of electrostatic discharging between components within the spacecraft may cost NASA dearly on subsequent missions, particularly those concerning close approaches to electrically highly active bodies such as comets. All spacecraft electrical equipment should have lightning arrestors integral in their design. I would then suggest that future spacecraft be tested in a vacuum chamber subjected to high voltage discharges. Such an environment is known to be extremely hostile to computers.

580. The Saturn Thesis: Questions and Answers [Journals] [Aeon]
... subject, were it not for the inspiration of Velikovsky, who had triggered a major scientific controversy in 1950 with publication of Worlds in Collision. In this groundbreaking work, based on a reading of mythical and historical material from every ancient culture, Velikovsky argued that a few thousand years ago the planet Venus took the form of a terrifying "comet," threatening the Earth and causing general havoc around the world. Whatever you may think of Velikovsky's idea, no one could dispute that it was based on a great deal of carefully collated research, and the thesis deserved to be considered with the same care that Velikovsky had devoted to the subject. Actually, the response of the ...
