... amongst his phenomena. Classical astronomy, in considering the orbital states of the planets, deals only with gravitational forces, but there are grounds for including other forces. A New Scientist report (ANON 1969) notes that "In 1823 Enke claimed that the influence of non-gravitational forces must be assumed in order to explain the observed motion of the comet which bears his name". The report adds that from study of eighteen short period comets "Marston .. . concludes that secular (non-gravitational) effects are apparent in the majority of comets. .. . The true nature of the forces is still a subject for speculation. .. . It is now widely believed that the ...
592. The Stone of Shamir (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... of KRONOS: The first chapter of Immanuel Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos demonstrates that the ephochal departure of the Israelites from Egypt and the capture of royal power in that country by the Hyksos took place in the same period - according to my own calculation, in the year 1448 B.C .( 1 ) At that time, a colossal comet was ravaging the Earth. which classic chronicles named Typhon.(2 ) To the Greek and Latin information about the comet that Velikovsky gathered with truly marvellous painstaking, I am now able to add a notice I found in Gershom Scholem's Sabbatai Sevi: The Mystical Messiah.(3 ) On page 438 of this fascinating volume we learn ...
593. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... king of the Ligurians, lived at the time of the fire of Phaeton and the flood of Deucalion. So fire and flood occurred together. Reasoning from effect to cause, Carli then assigns the coal deposits of the world to burning and water acting in quick succession, a theory now coming into prominence again. He argues that only a comet could burn up the world, drop vast amounts of water, and bring great tides at the same time. Probably this line of argument will stand up: a large body encountering Earth, even if it were not dropping water or ice, would bring both conflagration and flood. Whether it crashed or not, the effects would still ...
594. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 7.11.92, p. 16; 14.11.92, pp. 24-25; 26.9 .92, p. 5; 3.10.92, p. 15 and 21.11.92, p. 16 Small asteroids in the outer Solar System have been greatly underestimated, large numbers of comets pass through the Solar System undetected and there might be 1000 as yet undiscovered moons orbiting Uranus and Neptune. They all appear to spend their time crashing into each other too. We even have a new planet beyond Pluto, or at least an ice-dwarf'. Too small for a planet, in the wrong orbit for an asteroid and ...
595. On Velikovsky's Orbits [Journals] [SIS Review]
... both the forward and backward direction and these confirm that the present set of orbits is stable over the time periods of interest, provided nothing disturbs them. However studies have been undertaken that have shown that the gravitational orbits are chaotic, in that very small changes in starting point can lead to very different outcomes. We have also observed a comet break up and then collide with Jupiter. Our background knowledge is therefore very different from the basic assumptions of the critics in 1950. Recently I was surprised to read in a paper by D W Patten entitled Reviewing Velikovsky's Venus and Mars Theories' published in the Velikovskian [2 ] that it was impossible to construct a set of orbits ...

597. Moons, Myths and Man [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... extent Velikovsky was influenced by catastrophic tomes such as this and others by authors such as Hoerbiger, Vail etc. From Bellamy's use of myth it seems to me that Clube and Napier are much nearer to the truth than Velikovsky, despite the extraordinary appeal of the latter. Instead of Bellamy's satellite (part of which became the moon) read comet in the process of breaking up'. In one Chinese source he cites, the celestial dragon is described as being a thousand miles long, a huge phenomenon in the sky that was able to become either dark or bright, at will. Rains of mud, icy material, shooting stars, falling rocks and debris - it is ...
598. Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, by James E. Strickling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... between neutron stars, passage through dark matter', extensive volcanism or crustal displacements, all of which have been put forward as possible mechanisms for catastrophes on Earth. Even more surprisingly, apart from a single paragraph on the Alvarez theory about the late-Cretaceous death of the dinosaurs, there is no acknowledgement of the potential catastrophic effects of asteroid and comet impacts, a topic which has received enormous coverage over the last 15 years. Whilst not all catastrophes could have been caused by these, some undoubtedly were: even today we see asteroids and comets in Earth-threatening orbits and on the surface of the Earth, associated with extraterrestrial materials such as iridium, there are impact craters whose formation must ...
